Coding question of medium level difficulty, from DP. 
18 MCQs were core CSE related concepts e.g: OS, OOPs, DBMS, Networking
Time was 90 minutes.

Q1. 
Minimum Cost to Destination
You are given an NxM matrix consisting of '0's and '1's. A '1' signifies that the cell is accessible, whereas a '0' indicates that the cell is blocked. Your task is to compute ...read more
Ans. 
Find the minimum cost to reach a destination in a matrix with blocked cells.
• Use Breadth First Search (BFS) algorithm to explore all possible paths from the starting point to the destination.

• Keep track of the cost incurred at each cell and update it as you move through the matrix.

• Return the minimum cost to reach the destination or -1 if it is unreachable.

Q2. 
Maximum Sum of Non-Adjacent Elements
You are given an array/list of integers. The task is to return the maximum sum of a subsequence such that no two elements in the subsequence are adjacent in the given ...read more
Ans. 
Find the maximum sum of non-adjacent elements in an array.
• Use dynamic programming to keep track of the maximum sum at each index, considering whether to include the current element or not.

• At each index, the maximum sum can be either the sum excluding the current element or the sum including the current element but excluding the previous element.

• Iterate through the array and update the maximum sum accordingly.

Convert a given binary tree into its sum tree. In a sum tree, every node's value is replaced with the sum of its immediate children's values. Leaf nodes are set to 0. Finally, return th...read more
Ans. 
Convert a binary tree into a sum tree by replacing each node's value with the sum of its children's values. Return preorder traversal.
• Traverse the tree in a bottom-up manner, starting from the leaf nodes.

• For each node, update its value to the sum of its children's values.

• Set leaf nodes to 0.

• Return the preorder traversal of the modified tree.

Q2. What are the core concepts of indexing in Database Management Systems (DBMS)?
Ans. 
Core concepts of indexing in DBMS include types of indexes, benefits of indexing, and factors affecting index performance.
• Types of indexes: B-tree, Hash, Bitmap, etc.

• Benefits of indexing: Faster data retrieval, improved query performance, reduced disk I/O.

• Factors affecting index performance: Selectivity, clustering factor, index fragmentation.

• Examples: Creating an index on a column in a table to speed up search queries

Q1. 
Rotate Matrix Right K Times
You are given a matrix MAT of size 'N' * 'M', where 'N' is the number of rows and 'M' is the number of columns, along with a positive integer 'K'. Your task is to rotate the ma...read more
Ans. 
Rotate a matrix to the right 'K' times by shifting each column to the right 'K' times.
• Iterate 'K' times to perform right rotation on the matrix

• Shift each column to the right by one position in each rotation

• Handle wrapping around the matrix when shifting columns

• Return the matrix elements row-wise after 'K' rotations

Word Search Problem Statement
Given a two-dimensional grid of size N x M consisting of upper case characters and a string 'WORD', determine how many times the 'WORD' appears in the grid.
The 'WORD' can b...read more
Ans. 
Count how many times a given word appears in a 2D grid by moving in any of the eight possible directions.
• Iterate through each cell in the grid and check if the word can be formed starting from that cell in any of the eight directions.

• Use recursion to explore all possible paths from a starting cell to form the word.

• Keep track of visited cells to avoid revisiting the same cell in the same path.

• Return the count of how man

Interview started with an introduction and walk through the resume for first 5 minutes. After that, interview asked few coding questions.

Q1. 
Problem Statement: Largest Island
You are provided with a non-empty grid consisting of only 0s and 1s. Your task is to determine the maximum area of an island within the given grid.
An island consists of a...read more
Ans. 
Find the maximum area of an island in a grid of 0s and 1s.
• Iterate through the grid and perform depth-first search (DFS) to find connected 1s.

• Keep track of the area of each island found and return the maximum area.

• Consider all four directions (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal) while exploring the island.

• Handle edge cases like grid boundaries and already visited cells during DFS.

• If no island is present, return 0 as the

Ans. 
Find the top view of a Binary Tree by returning a list of visible nodes when viewed from the top.
• Traverse the Binary Tree in level order and keep track of the horizontal distance of each node from the root.

• Use a map to store the nodes at each horizontal distance, and only keep the topmost node for each horizontal distance.

• Return the values of the topmost nodes in the map as the top view of the Binary Tree.

This round was focused on DSA along with short discussion on computer science fundamentals. For coding problems, I was asked to code the first problem only. For others, had to discuss the approach only. For computer science fundamentals, discussion on OOPS. Differences between process and threads were discussed.

Ans. 
Restore a Binary Search Tree by fixing two swapped nodes without changing its structure.
• Identify the two nodes that are swapped by mistake in the BST.

• Swap the values of the two identified nodes to restore the BST.

• Perform an in-order traversal of the BST to verify the correct restoration.
