Round 1 - Technical 

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. How to check a number is power of 2
  • Ans. 

    To check if a number is a power of 2, we can use bitwise operations.

    • A power of 2 has only one bit set to 1, so we can use the bitwise AND operator to check if the number is a power of 2.

    • If n is a power of 2, then n & (n-1) will be 0.

    • For example, 8 (1000 in binary) is a power of 2, and 8 & 7 (0111 in binary) is 0.

Interview Questionnaire 

3 Questions

  • Q1. How you find loop in a linked list
  • Ans. 

    To find a loop in a linked list, we use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.

    • Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm uses two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.

    • If there is a loop in the linked list, the two pointers will eventually meet.

    • To detect the meeting point, we reset one of the pointers to the head of the linked list and move both pointers at the same speed.

    • The meeting point is the start of the loop.
