  • Ans. 

    Given an arithmetic expression, place parentheses to maximize the value of the expression.

    • Identify the operators in the expression ('+', '-', '*').

    • Consider the precedence of operators to determine where to place parentheses.

  • Ans. 

    The task is to determine the weight of the minimum spanning tree of a given connected undirected weighted graph.

    • Implement Kruskal's algorithm to find the minimum spanning tree weight.

    • Sort the edges based on their weights in non-decreasing order.

  • Ans. 

    Convert a binary tree into a sum tree by replacing each node's value with the sum of its children's values. Return the preorder traversal of the sum tree.

    • Traverse the tree in a bottom-up manner to calculate the sum of children for each node.

    • Set leaf nodes to 0 and update non-leaf nodes with the sum of their children.

    • Return the preorder traversal of the modified tree.

  • Ans. 

    To determine the left view of a binary tree, we need to find the nodes that are visible when the tree is viewed from the left side.

    • Traverse the binary tree in a level order manner and keep track of the first node at each level (leftmost node).

    • Store the leftmost nodes in an array as they are encountered during the traversal.

    • Return the array containing the left view of the binary tree.

Tip 1 : Just be confident during interview and if you are stuck in between any question, then ask for a hint from the interviewer. The practice is key for success, so practice hard for Data Structures and Algorithms coding problems on Coding ninjas as it is the best platform for coding. Also you may practice on Geeks For Geeks or any other interview portal. 
Tip 2 : Try to do as much as Data structures related questions as practice made a man perfect.
Tip 3 : If you have already done similar types of questions then you will get a solution approach very fastly during the interview.

Interview Tips & Stories

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.

Interview Questionnaire 

2 Questions

  • Q1. Check if binary tree is balanced or not.
  • Ans. 

    Check if binary tree is balanced or not.

    • A balanced binary tree has the height of left and right subtrees differ by at most 1.

    • Recursively check the height of left and right subtrees and compare.

    • Use a helper function to calculate the height of a subtree.

    • Time complexity: O(nlogn) for a balanced tree, O(n^2) for a skewed tree.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Detect loops in linked list.
  • Ans. 

    Detect loops in a linked list.

    • Use two pointers, one moving at a faster pace than the other.

    • If there is a loop, the faster pointer will eventually catch up to the slower one.

    • To detect the start of the loop, reset one pointer to the head and move both pointers at the same pace.

  • Q2. Prime no Add all digits in a number
  • Ans. 

    The question asks to check if a number is prime and add all its digits.

    • To check if a number is prime, we can use a loop to divide it by all numbers from 2 to its square root.

    • If the number is divisible by any of these numbers, it is not prime.

    • To add all digits in a number, we can use a loop to extract each digit and add it to a running total.
