Round 2 - Aptitude Test 

After the resume screening, the shortlisted candidates were sent a link to the test which was scheduled a few days later. The test had 2 sections - Technical and Aptitude MCQs, and a Coding section.

Round 3 - Coding Test 

The Coding test had 2 easy-medium level questions. They were fairly easy to complete, and I successfully passed all test-cases.

Round 4 - Technical 

(9 Questions)

  • Q1. Tell me about any of the projects on your resume.
  • Q2. Explain the working of Bubble Sort (I had to pen down the pseudo-code, but others were asked to write the code as well).
  • Q3. Explain the working of Insertion Sort.
  • Ans. 

    Insertion Sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one item at a time.

    • Start from the second element and compare it with the previous elements to find its correct position in the sorted array.

    • Repeat this process for all elements in the array.

    • Example: Given array of strings ['banana', 'apple', 'orange'], after insertion sort it becomes ['apple', 'banana', 'orange'].

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. How would you find the maximum and second-maximum numbers in an array? (Pseudo-code)
  • Ans. 

    Use a loop to iterate through the array and keep track of the maximum and second-maximum numbers.

    • Initialize two variables to store the maximum and second-maximum numbers.

    • Iterate through the array and update the variables accordingly.

    • Handle edge cases like when the array has less than two elements.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Write the query to execute a left-join on two tables - I was shown a database with a few tables defined.
  • Q6. What do you understand by the phrase 'pass-by-value'?
  • Ans. 

    Pass-by-value is a method of passing arguments to a function where the actual value of the argument is copied to a new variable.

    • In pass-by-value, a copy of the actual value of the argument is passed to the function.

    • Any changes made to the parameter inside the function do not affect the original value outside the function.

    • Primitive data types like integers, floats, and characters are typically passed by value.

    • Example: i...

  • Q7. If you're given two CSV files, containing 2 columns each, how would you merge the two files using Python?

    To merge two CSV files with 2 columns each in Python, use the pandas library.

    • Import the pandas library

    • Read the two CSV files into pandas DataFrames

    • Merge the DataFrames using a common column as the key

    • Save the merged DataFrame to a new CSV file

  • Answered by AI
