Ans. 
Print nodes of a binary tree in spiral order traversal.
• Use a queue to perform level order traversal of the binary tree.

• Alternate between printing nodes from left to right and right to left at each level.

• Handle null nodes represented by '-1' appropriately.

• Example: For input '1 2 3 -1 -1 4 5 -1 -1 -1 -1', the output should be '1 3 2 4 5'.

Ans. 
Given a list of strings, determine if a target string can be formed by combining one or more strings from the list.
• Iterate through all possible combinations of strings from the list to form the target string.

• Use recursion to try different combinations of strings.

• Check if the current combination forms the target string.

• Return true if a valid combination is found, otherwise return false.

Q1. 
Nth Fibonacci Number Problem
Calculate the Nth term in the Fibonacci sequence using the formula: F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) where F(1) = F(2) = 1.
Given a number N, determine the Nth Fibonacci number.
Input...read more
Ans. 
Calculate the Nth Fibonacci number using the given formula and constraints.
• Implement a function to calculate the Nth Fibonacci number using the formula F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) with base cases F(1) = F(2) = 1.

• Use dynamic programming or recursion to efficiently compute the Fibonacci number for large N values.

• Ensure the input N is within the constraints 1 <= N <= 10000.

• Example: For N = 5, the output should be 5 as th

It was an online MCQ's + coding round consisting of 20 MCQ’s and 1 coding problem.

Q1. Check whether there exists a loop in the linked list.
Ans. 
Check for a loop in a linked list by using two pointers moving at different speeds.
• Use two pointers, one moving at double the speed of the other.

• If there is a loop, the two pointers will eventually meet at the same node.

• Example: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 2 (loop back to 2), the two pointers will meet at node 2.

The interview started at 8:30 pm in cc of Delhi Technological University itself and it was quite late. There was only a single interviewer and he asked me one coding question related to overflow of integers.

Q1. How can you check for integer overflow when multiplying two integers and ensure the result is stored correctly within an integer type?
Ans. 
To check for integer overflow when multiplying two integers, use the properties of integer overflow and check if the result is within the valid range of the integer type.
• Check if the signs of the two integers are the same to avoid overflow in case of multiplication.

• Use the properties of integer overflow to detect if the result exceeds the maximum or minimum value of the integer type.

• Consider using a larger data type or...read more
