An Applications Engineer was asked
Q. Given an array of strings, print all the possible combinations of strings created by picking one character from each string of the array. The individual strings do not contain any duplicates. Ex: {ABC, DE} ...
Ans. 

Print all possible combinations of strings by picking one character from each string in the array.

  • Iterate through each character of the first string and combine it with each character of the second string.

  • Repeat the process for all strings in the array to get all possible combinations.

  • Use nested loops to generate combinations efficiently.

An Applications Engineer was asked
Q. Given a string containing different types of parentheses, determine if the string is balanced, where any character can be matched with any other character.
Ans. 

Modified Balanced Parentheses where characters can be matched with any other character.

  • Use a stack to keep track of opening characters

  • When encountering a closing character, check if it matches the top of the stack

  • If it matches, pop from the stack, else return false

  • Continue until end of string, return true if stack is empty

Is 22.3L good salary for 11 years of experience?
I am a backend developer with 11 years of experience working in a product based company. Currently I am getting paid 22.3L CTC and expecting a hike of 2.5-3L (maybe a promotion too) on my current CTC. I wanted to know if this salary is market standard or I am paid more or less than expected?

An Applications Engineer was asked
Q. Given a date in string format, write a Java program to return the date n days after the given date. Solve the question without using DateTimeFormatter or any similar Date parsing libraries.
Ans. 

Java program to calculate date n days after given date without using Date parsing libraries.

  • Parse the input date string to extract day, month, and year components.

  • Calculate the total number of days represented by the input date.

  • Add the specified number of days to the total days calculated.

  • Convert the final total days back to day, month, and year components to get the new date.

An Applications Engineer was asked
Q. Given an array of numbers, print all combinations of numbers in the array that sum up to a number k. For example, if Arr={3,1,4,5} and k=5, the answer is {{1,4},{5}}.
Ans. 

Use backtracking to find all combinations of numbers in an array that sum up to a given number.

  • Start by sorting the array in non-decreasing order to easily identify combinations.

  • Use backtracking to recursively find all combinations that sum up to the target number.

  • Keep track of the current combination and the remaining sum as you traverse the array.

  • Add the current combination to the result when the sum equals the ...

Q. Given an array of size n, print the indices i which have an equilibrium point around them defined as the sum of i-p to i-1 elements = sum of i to i+p-1 elements (equal sum on the left side and right side of...
Ans. 

Find indices in an array where the sum of elements around them is equal.

  • Equilibrium point is defined as sum of elements before index i equals sum of elements from index i to t+p-1.

  • Example: For P=2 and Array={1,-1,3,-3,10,-10,17}, indices 2, 4, and 5 are equilibrium points.

  • At index 2: Left sum (1 + -1) = 0, Right sum (3) = 3; not an equilibrium.

Q. Given a matrix, print its elements in spiral order.
Ans. 

Traverse a matrix in spiral order, collecting elements layer by layer.

  • Start from the top-left corner and move right until the end of the row.

  • Then, move down the last column.

  • Next, move left across the bottom row.

  • Finally, move up the first column.

  • Repeat the process for the inner layers until all elements are traversed.

  • Example: For a matrix [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]], the spiral order is [1,2,3,6,9,8,7,4,5].

Clarify any doubts that you have in the question and ask for the constraints. The constraints help you determine the time complexity expected by the interviewer. Do not directly jump to the optimal solution, instead try to come to the optimal solution iteratively (exceptions might be there)
For the behavioural questions, be confident and honest with your answers.
