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 Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - From the last and final discussion, the manager seemed happy. I wasn't sure if it was the salary package or what went wrong. I didn't really got a call back from them. When I called them to check the status of my application, they said they'll get back to me in 10mins but that's the last I heard from them. Even if I got rejected for some reason, just a auto-denial email would have been better as all the interview process went great except the thing the HR didn't pick up the call or didn't share any thing back. This seems to be happening similarly for most of the companies now a days
