Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don't take inter offer if you have PPO from other company. They hired 150 interns in 2023 and selected only 22 for PPO and that too with joinings being late. They have a Advanced Samsung Software Test to get PPO, but in 2023 80 interns cleared it and they hired only 23.

  • Ans. 

    Angle between hands of clock at 10:25 is 147.5 degrees. Trains will collide at midpoint of their initial positions.

    • To calculate angle between hands of clock, use formula: |(30*H)-(11/2)*M|

    • For 10:25, H=10 and M=25, so angle = |(30*10)-(11/2)*25| = 147.5 degrees

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Prepare well for DSA , but with that knowledge try for any product based company not only one in limelight you can try any other but not Accolite, because though you clear all those 3 rounds and get hired , there is nothing in this company other than false promises and mere showoff. They are either terminating or extending the internship for of no reason amid doing projects, and also you will not get the work you are trained and desired for , they will use U for QA testing rather being hired as developer

  • Ans. Brute Force Approach

    The idea here is to travel over every elevation on the map and calculate the units of water the elevation can store.

     

    Here is the algorithm :

     

    1. Iterate over every elevation or element and find the maximum elevation on to the left and right of it. Say, the maximum elevation on to the left of the current elevation or element that we are looking at is ‘maxLeftHeight’ and the maximum elevation on...

  • Ans. Sorting

    Use any good sorting algorithm like Merge Sort, Quick Sort or inbuilt sorting function of different languages.

    • Sort the Array and just return.
    Space Complexity: O(1)Explanation:

    O(1), As we are using constant space.

    Time Complexity: O(nlogn)Explanation:

    O(N*log(N)), where ‘N’ is the size of the array.

    You are given an array consisting of 'N' elements and you need to perform 'Q' queries on the given array. Each query consists of an integer which tells the number...

  • Ans. Rotate One Element At A Time

    The idea is to create a function which would rotate the array one element at a time. This can be done by shifting the array towards left by one element and copying the first element to the end of the array. For every query repeatedly call the above function, until the desired rotation is obtained.

     

    If the number of rotations required, say ‘K’, is greater than the number of elements, ‘N’,...

  • Ans. Depth First Search
    • Ninja can move in at most four directions i.e left, right, up, and down.
    • We will take a 2-D array ‘directions’ of size 4 x 2  in which the first column denotes the shift in the horizontal direction and the second column denotes a shift in the vertical direction.

  • Ans. Brute Force
    • The most obvious brute force approach would be to sort the array in descending order and return the ‘K’th element from the beginning of the array.
    • Sort the array in descending order, for sorting most of the languages have their inbuilt sort methods which are usually very fast.

  • Ans. Sorting

    The first approach is by joining the array and again sorting is to get median.

     

    The algorithm is as follows:

    • Create a new array of size of total number of elements.
    • Insert elements of both the arrays in the array.
    • Sort the array and find the median.

  • Ans. Naive Approach

    In any rooted tree, the distance between two nodes 'U' and 'V' can be found by finding the lowest common ancestor (LCA), ‘x’ of two nodes. The lowest common ancestor (LCA) between nodes 'U' and 'V' is defined as the lowest node in the tree that has both 'U' and 'V' as descendants, where we define each node to be a descendant of itself (so if 'U' has a direct connection from 'V', 'V' is the lowest common a...
