Round duration - 60 Minutes
Round difficulty - Medium
This round had 2 coding questions - first one related to Binary Tree and the second one was a simple question from Bit Manipulation. This was followed by some questions from OOPS.
- Q1.
Binary Tree Diameter Problem Statement
You are given a Binary Tree, and you need to determine the length of the diameter of the tree.
The diameter of a binary tree is the length of the longest path betwe...
- Ans.
The task is to find the diameter of a binary tree, which is the length of the longest path between any two end nodes in the tree.
Traverse the tree to find the longest path between two nodes.
Keep track of the maximum diameter found during traversal.
The diameter may not necessarily pass through the root node.
Consider both left and right subtrees while calculating the diameter.
Example: For input 1 2 3 4 -1 5 6 -1 7 -1 -1

Return 1 if a valid permutation is found, else return 0.
- Q3. What are some advantages of using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?
- Ans.
Advantages of OOP include code reusability, modularity, and easier maintenance.
Code reusability: Objects can be reused in different parts of the program, reducing redundancy.
Modularity: OOP allows for breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts.
Easier maintenance: Changes to one part of the codebase do not necessarily affect other parts, making maintenance easier.
Encapsulation: Data hiding and ab...
- Q4. What are access specifiers and what is their significance in Object-Oriented Programming?
- Ans.
Access specifiers define the level of access to class members in Object-Oriented Programming.
Access specifiers include public, private, protected, and default
Public members are accessible from outside the class
Private members are only accessible within the class
Protected members are accessible within the class and its subclasses
Default access is when no access specifier is specified

8 Questions
- Q1. Implement queue with the help of two stacks
- Ans.
Queue can be implemented using two stacks by maintaining the order of elements in the stacks.
Create two stacks, let's call them stack1 and stack2
When an element is enqueued, push it to stack1
When an element is dequeued, pop all elements from stack1 and push them to stack2
Pop the top element from stack2 and return it as the dequeued element
If stack2 is empty, repeat step 3
To get the front element of the queue, peek the
- Q2. Iven a table “student” of with columns Name and Marks. You have to write a SQL query to get the 2nd highest marks from the table. Also write a query to find the nth highest marks, where n can be any number
- Q3. What is left join. Give example. And Full outer join?
- Ans.
Left join returns all records from left table and matching records from right table. Full outer join returns all records from both tables.
Left join is used to combine two tables based on a common column.
In left join, all records from the left table are returned along with matching records from the right table.
If there is no match in the right table, NULL values are returned.
Example: SELECT * FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table...
- Q4. What is magic functions and autoloading in PHP?
- Ans.
Magic functions are special methods in PHP that start with __. Autoloading is a way to automatically load classes.
Magic functions are used to handle certain events in PHP, such as object creation or property access.
Autoloading allows PHP to automatically load classes when they are needed, without requiring manual includes.
Magic functions can be used in conjunction with autoloading to dynamically load classes or handle
- Q5. Given three arrays sorted in non-decreasing order, print all common elements in these arrays. Examples: ar1[] = {1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80} ar2[] = {6, 7, 20, 80, 100} ar3[] = {3, 4, 15, 20, 30, 70, 80, 120} Ou...
- Ans.
Given three sorted arrays, find common elements.
Create three pointers to traverse each array
Compare the elements at the pointers and move the pointer of the smallest element
If all pointers point to the same element, add it to the result and move all pointers
Repeat until any pointer reaches the end of its array
- Q6. A puzzle. You will be given with a 3 Litre container & a 7 Litre Container. Measure exactly 5 Litres of water
- Q7. Asked about one of my projects I mentioned in my resume?
- Q8. Find if a number is a power of 2 or not?
- Ans.
Check if a number is a power of 2 or not.
A power of 2 has only one bit set in its binary representation.
Use bitwise AND operator to check if the number is a power of 2.
If n is a power of 2, then n & (n-1) will be 0.

- Ans.
Event bubbling is the propagation of an event from the innermost child element to the outermost parent element.

The .click() method can only handle one event and one selector
The .on() method can also handle dynamically added elements
The .click() method cannot handle dynamically added elements

Experience: Sent resume to an HR through Linkedin and got the call for interview
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had 3 rounds of technical interviews with Product Owner, Product Manager and VP Product. Most of the questions were related to maths, statistics and a few on machine learning. Even though I did not have much background on these, I was asked to give my inputs and try to find a solution. We discussed recommendation engines for Quora, Linkedin and e-commerce websites. Then they asked me how can we remove the bias that comes in the practo ratings of the doctors due to feedback from various channels. How can we identify if the customer is booking an appointment by looking at reviews or ratings? How can we identify spam reviews before publishing them? How can we build a product which can help users write a better quality review? Most of the questions were related to data science and how we can improve the products using data. The data analyst role for which I was being interviewed, was a first of its kind role in Practo. The JD was to basically work with the product team and help them in improving products, building new features etc. using data science/ data analytics.
