Round 1 - Coding Test 

(2 Questions)

Round duration - 75 Minutes
Round difficulty - Medium

This was an online coding round where we had 2 questions to solve under 75 minutes. The questions were of Medium to Hard level of difficulty and I found the problem statements to be a bit tricky.

    Balanced Parentheses Combinations

    Given an integer N representing the number of pairs of parentheses, find all the possible combinations of balanced parentheses using the given number of pairs.

  • Ans. 

    Approach : 

    1) First make a recursive function, say ‘solve’ taking the number of opening brackets ‘opening’, number of closing brackets ‘closing’ output string ‘output’, and an array of strings ‘ans’ as arguments.

    2) Make the base condition as if ‘opening’ = 0 and ‘closing’ = 0 then push the output string in the ‘ans’ and return.

    3) If ‘opening’ is not equal to zero then call the ‘solve’ function recursively by decre...

  • Ans. 

    Approach : 

    1) Let the 'X', 'Y', 'Z' be the maximum availability ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’ respectively.

    2) Declare an empty string say ‘S’ to store the answer string.

    3) Run a loop till (x + y + z)
    3.1) If ( 'X' >= 'Y' and 'X' >= 'Z' and the last two letters in ‘S’ is not “aa” ) or ( the last two letters in ‘S’ are “bb” or “cc” and 'X' is nonzero).
    Add ‘a’ to ‘S’, and update 'X' to ‘x - 1’.

  • Ans. 

    Approach (Using Backtracking) : 

    Let ‘allAllPaths(n, m, edges, src, des)’ be the function that returns a 2D array that contains all the possible paths.

    1) Take the following variables: 2D array ‘Graph’, to store graphs and ‘Visited’ array to mark each node whether it is visited or not.

    2) Clear graph, initialize the visited array to false.

    3) Run a loop from 0 to 'm' :

    Cycle Detection in a Singly Linked List

    Determine if a given singly linked list of integers forms a cycle or not.

    A cycle in a linked list occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the ...

  • Ans. 

    Approach : 

    1) Initialize slow and fast at the beginning.

    2) Start moving slow to every next node and moving fast 2 jumps, while making sure that fast and its next is not null.

    3) If after adjusting slow and fast, if they are referring to the same node, there is a cycle otherwise repeat the process

    4) If fast reaches the end or null then the execution stops and we can conclude that no cycle exists.

    You are given the ‘root’ of a Balanced Binary Search Tree and an integer ‘target’. Your task is to determine if there exists any pair of nodes such ...

  • Ans. 

    Approach : 

    1) Maintain a hash-map ‘mp,’ which keeps track of the nodes we have visited.

    2) We will use a helper function, ‘helper’.

    3) ‘helper’ takes ‘root,’ ‘target,’ and ‘mp’ as input parameters, where ‘root’ is the root of the binary tree, ‘target’ is the value which should be equal to sum of 2 nodes and ‘mp’ is the hash-map we use to keep track of nodes visited.

  • Q2. What is the difference between Early Binding and Late Binding in C++?
  • Ans. 

    OOP is used commonly for software development. One major pillar of OOP is polymorphism. Early Binding and Late
    Binding are related to that. Early Binding occurs at compile time while Late Binding occurs at runtime. In method
    overloading, the bonding happens using the early binding. In method overriding, the bonding happens using the late
    binding. The difference between Early and Late Binding is that Early Binding uses the...

  • Q3. What is meant by multitasking and multithreading in operating systems?
  • Ans. 

    Multitasking : It refers to the process in which a CPU happens to execute multiple tasks at any given time. CPU
    switching occurs very often when multitasking between various tasks. This way, the users get to collaborate with
    every program together at the same time. Since it involves rapid CPU switching, it requires some time. It is because
    switching from one user to another might need some resources. The processes in mult...

Round duration - 30 Minutes

This was my last round and I hoped it to go good just like the other rounds. The interviewer was very straight to point
and professional. The interview lasted for 30 minutes.

  • Q1. What is something about you that is not included in your resume?
  • Ans. 

    If you get this question, it's an opportunity to choose the most compelling information to share that is not obvious from
    your resume.

    Example :

    Strength -> I believe that my greatest strength is the ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently, which makes me
    unique from others.

  • Ans. Backtracking Approach

    Approach:

     

    In this approach, we will be trying to find the valid sequence using backtracking. We will be creating our sequence from left to right and will be trying to fix the biggest possible integer yet to be used at the current position. We are fixing the biggest integer first because that will give us the lexicographically largest sequence that is possible. For every position, we will be fi...

  • Ans. Recursive Approach

    The idea here is to use recursion. At each step, we plan to insert the remaining balls in the string hand to the string board. Now the question arises, in which position do we have to insert the ‘i’th character of the string hand? The answer is simple; we have to insert ‘i’th character to all the positions on board to get all possible answers. That’s why we are using the recursive approach. After inse...

    The brute force approach to this problem is that we continuously iterate on the speed of eating chocolates till Ninja can eat all the chocolates within ‘M’ Minutes.

    1. Make a variable ‘sum’, which will store the sum of all chocolates which are present in all N jars.
