Answering two questions: about my projects and demonstrating Binary search
For my projects, I have managed various software development projects from initiation to closure

For Binary search, it is a search algorithm that works by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half
It requires a sorted array and compar...
- Q2. Show me how Binary search works
- Ans.
Binary search is a search algorithm that finds the position of a target value within a sorted array.
Start by comparing the target value with the middle element of the array.
If the target value matches the middle element, return its position.
If the target value is less than the middle element, search the left half of the array.
If the target value is greater than the middle element, search the right half of the array.
Rep...
- Q3. What is its complexity
- Ans.
The complexity of what?
Please provide more context or specify what you are referring to
Complexity can refer to various aspects such as technical, organizational, or project-related

- Ans.
Function to find the no. of times a sorted array has been rotated.
Find the index of the minimum element in the array using binary search.
The number of times the array has been rotated is equal to the index of the minimum element.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: 1) Objective Paper - i)Basic C questions
ii) DS questions covering Graphs and Trees
iii) Analysis of Algo. Questions.
iv) There were more but I can’t remember
Round: Problem Statement
Experience: I attempted question Number 3 very well which was also brought up in my 3rd tech Interview. It was what got me through I assume.
Screening Test: 6-8 people in a room were taken and were given the following problem to solve -
“ There are two given sorted Linked lists. Merge them to form a single sorted Linked list. In case of duplicates, delete copies”
In one batch, people were also told to write test cases.
Tips: Speed, Accuracy and Covering as many cases which may arise as possible in the code
Points where every VJTIan committed mistakes - !) In case of duplicates, only one node was inserted into the single linked list, but nobody freed up the memory of the other node by using free. they expect that.
2) modularization - In case one of the linked lists is over, we simply append the remaining elements of the other array into the single linked list. This was expected to be done by a single function taking parameters.
Why I cleared - Finished Coding around 12 mins before everybody and committed no mistakes which others made. The above two are the only things I didn’t do
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: No. 2 - 1) Design an Offline Browsing Experience
An one and half hour discussion was held on this, where he asked me Line of thought in designing the product, the thinking behind various proposed features, Made changes in the requirements, told to propose new features as per new requirements for at least 4 features, How will you implement the feature - show UI and block Diagram, what data structures will you use for the feature etc etc.
Was checking Designing aptitude and how many new features proposed
No 3 - 1)How will you implement an N-ary tree (N has no limit) and write code for BFS on that N-ary tree based on the implementation
Gave her Three implementations. She only settled for the one which She wanted
2) Write code foe the node of the tree and the above BFS
3) The weight of the node is given as Value of node*level of node. Write a function which returns the address of a node with the MAXWEIGHT in a binary tree
I gave Non-recursive solution. She then asked for a recursive solution
Code for both Recursive and Non-recursive she made me write
4) Given an array of n elements which have numbers in the range of 0 to n-1, find if the array has any duplicate elements
5) Write code to return position of the duplicate element
Was just checking coding knowledge
Tips: 1) Accuracy is not very important, approach is. If you are wrong, you should be able to tell why you are wrong before the interviewer tells you. The interviewers help a lot, but getting the correct solution is required
2) Write as tight code as possible in aptis and interviews. From freeing nodes, to returning boolean instead of Int, to Using struct instead of two separate variables, every bit of efficiency is appreciated and earns you a lot of points
3) Keenness to learn is a very important quality which they see when they are considering a PM candidate. It is hard to fake that. They usually deduce it by the way you talk.
4) For PM, they take the ‘Do you have a question for me’ very very seriously. Ask genuine questions and don’t ask rubbish. People are usually good and teach you a lot when you ask them good questions
5) The Microsoft process is meticulous and you will enjoy it if you love solving puzzles. An opportunity to show your talent or aptitude is given to you if you ask.
6) For people looking for PM, read a lot(Newspapers/tech blogs/technologies), think a lot - that’s all you can do for it.
