Tips: Experience in Competitive Programming might help in solving coding questions. No constraints were mentioned and detailed Instructions related to problem were stated vaguely. So code carefully.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Questions: 22

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewer asked me to introduce myself and a brief introduction of the projects that I have done. She first asked me questions related to my project. After that she moved on to the data structures part.
Tips: Take your time to approach the problems and if the question is not clear ask the interviewer to explain it again.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewer asked me about how my previous round went. After that, he asked me to introduce myself and a brief introduction of the projects that I have done. He first asked me a few questions related to my project. Then he moved on to the data structures part. In this round the interviewer gave me strict time limit for coding the solution on paper for each problem and as soon as I was done coding he gave me 2-3 minutes every time to find errors and debug my code.
Tips: Do not panic even if the interviewer sets time limit while solving problems. If the question is not clear ask the interviewer to explain it again.

    Count Subarrays with Sum Divisible by K

    Given an array ARR and an integer K, your task is to count all subarrays whose sum is divisible by the given integer K.

    Input:

    The first line of input contains an...
  • Ans. 

    Count subarrays with sum divisible by K in an array.

    • Iterate through the array and keep track of the prefix sum modulo K.

    • Use a hashmap to store the frequency of each prefix sum modulo K.

    • For each prefix sum, increment the count by the frequency of (prefix sum - K) modulo K.

    • Handle the case when prefix sum itself is divisible by K.

    • Return the total count of subarrays with sum divisible by K.

Round 3 - Face to Face 

(2 Questions)

Round duration - 50 Minutes
Round difficulty - Medium

In this round , I was asked to code a simple question related to BST . After that I was asked the internal implementation of a Hash Map where I was supposed to design a Hash Map using any of the Hashing Algorithms that I know . This was preety challenging for me but I got to learn so much from it.

  • Q1. 

    Ceil Value from BST Problem Statement

    Given a Binary Search Tree (BST) and an integer, write a function to return the ceil value of a particular key in the BST.

    The ceil of an integer is defined as the s...

  • Ans. 

    Ceil value of a key in a Binary Search Tree (BST) is found by returning the smallest integer greater than or equal to the given number.

    • Traverse the BST to find the closest value greater than or equal to the key.

    • Compare the key with the current node value and update the ceil value accordingly.

    • Recursively move to the left or right subtree based on the comparison.

    • Return the ceil value once the traversal is complete.

    Design a Constant Time Data Structure

    Create a data structure that maintains mappings between keys and values, supporting the following operations in constant time:

    1. INSERT(key, value): Add or update t...
  • Ans. 

    Design a constant time data structure to maintain mappings between keys and values with various operations.

    • Use a hash table to achieve constant time complexity for INSERT, DELETE, SEARCH, and GET operations.

    • Keep track of the number of key-value pairs for GET_SIZE operation.

    • Check if the hash table is empty for IS_EMPTY operation.

    • Return true or false for SEARCH operation based on key existence.

    • Return the value associated...
