Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Aptitude test was moderately tough. The coding test was on basics of c language of all the topics.
Tips: Solving R. S. Agrawal for Aptitude and videos on YouTube on C language are sufficient to score well.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 60

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I wrote the first code correctly. I wrote the second code 75% correct and they explained me my mistakes and I could understand where I was going wrong then I corrected my code and then they were satisfied. They asked me whether I could write the factorial code by function recursion method. I replied that I can write the factorial code but not by function recursion method. They were satisfied.

Experience: • 1 question was on time complexity of searching an unsorted array.
• 2 questions were on recursion, ie, number of recursive calls.
• 1 question on analysing given function on string.
• 1 question was on probability(Two hotels, say A and B. Probability of moving from A to B is 2/3, staying at A is 1/3. Probability of moving from B to A and staying at B is 1/2. If they make decisions each hour, and if they were at A at 7:00 pm, what is the probability that they will be at B at 10:00 pm).
• If a set has elements {1,2,3,4 .... n}. Then what is the sum of elements of it's power set. (Ex: S = {1,2}. Then power set is {{},{1},{2},{1,2}}. The sum is 6.
• If a set has elements {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}. Then how many subsets of 3 elements has no consecutive elements.
• 1 question was on designing a DFA for a string starting with a and ending with c and has at least b in it.

Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 10

Round: Coding Round
Experience: Two questions were there. 3 hours duration.

1. Long question, I don't remember fully. I'll just give input/output examples. It was basically on string decoding. If jon2snow3 is there the decoded string will be jonjonsnowjonjonsnowjonjonsnow. Given a string and an integer k we have print the kth character in the decoded string
input:
jon2snow3
8
output:
n

2. Given an array and an integer k return the number of contiguous sub arrays whose sum is divisible by k.
input format:
n k

input:
4 5
10 0 4 5

output:
4

explaination: {10},{0},{10,0},{5} are the sub arrays with sum divisible by 5.


Tips: You will have lots of time, so try to optimise the solution if you can. Remember here also they review each individual's code.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They will help you a lot if you are stuck at some point in the question. You have to be smart enough to grasp the clue.
Tips: They only ask questions only on data structures and algorithms.

Skill Tips: You have to be strong in coding. Algorithm questions will be mostly on dynamic programming. Data structures questions are mostly on trees.

9 Questions

  • Q1. Tree questions related like traversal?
  • Q2. Locate the sum of 2 numbers in a linear array (Unsorted and sorted) and their complexities
  • Ans. 

    Locate sum of 2 numbers in a linear array (unsorted and sorted) and their complexities

    • For unsorted array, use nested loops to compare each element with every other element until the sum is found

    • For sorted array, use two pointers approach starting from the beginning and end of the array and move them towards each other until the sum is found

    • Complexity for unsorted array is O(n^2) and for sorted array is O(n)
