This was totally based upon you, they judge your confidence, Why SAP, What is SAP, and so on. Why are you choosing SAP WILP rather than doing a normal MCA or MTech degree? Remember they will going to tell you that it’s very hard and all but you have to stick over your words and should show up all your confidence.

Q1. Reverse linked list
Ans. 
Reversing a linked list involves changing the direction of the pointers between nodes.
• Iterative approach: Use three pointers (prev, current, next) to reverse the links.

• Example: For list 1 -> 2 -> 3, after reversal it becomes 3 -> 2 -> 1.

• Recursive approach: Reverse the rest of the list and adjust pointers accordingly.

• Example: Base case when current is null, then set head to prev.

Q2. Remove node in linked list
Ans. 
To remove a node in a linked list, update the previous node's next pointer to skip the node to be removed.
• Traverse the linked list to find the node to be removed

• Update the previous node's next pointer to skip the node to be removed

• Free the memory allocated to the node to be removed

Q3. What is BCNF (Boyce-Codd Normal Form) in database management systems?
Ans. 
BCNF is a normal form in database management systems that ensures all determinants are candidate keys.
• BCNF stands for Boyce-Codd Normal Form.

• It is a stricter version of 3NF (Third Normal Form).

• In BCNF, every determinant must be a candidate key.

• It helps in reducing redundancy and anomalies in the database.

• Example: If a table has columns A, B, and C, and A determines B and B determines C, then it is not in BCNF unless A ...read more

Again 2nd round started with an introduction from both sides. Then he started asking questions from resume itself. Working in the current company and all the projects that i have done. Few simple puzzles, OOPs concepts (with proper explanation and coding) and some database related questions(questions were easy you just need to brush up the basics). Some keywords related questions from C,C++,Java(usual questions like static ,final, abstract etc.). That was the 2nd round. Then I was called for the 3rd Round. Before 3rd round they also served tasty lunch.

Ans. 
The task is to output the right view of a binary tree, which includes the nodes visible when observed from the right.
• Traverse the tree level by level and keep track of the rightmost node at each level.

• Use a queue for level order traversal and a map to store the rightmost nodes.

• Print the values of the rightmost nodes stored in the map as the right view of the tree.
