Round 1 - Coding Test 

(2 Questions)

Round duration - 170 minutes
Round difficulty - Easy

For MCQ Round, we have 2 rounds:- 
1. Logical Reasoning 
2. Mathematical Reasoning

Logical Reasoning, in which there were 12 questions, and for each question we had a time limit of 75 seconds. There was a cut-off of 40 for the next round, and people who qualified were sent an e-mail with a link to continue with the process.

Numerical Reasoning-The questions were in a pair of 3 in which a table/bank statement was given and 3 questions were based on that. The questions were purely based on calculations and semi-subjective. The time given for the 1st question was 90 seconds and for the rest 2 questions, 75 seconds each

For Coding Round, 
120 minutes window(Test was of 90 minutes)
We have two questions
For the first question(30 Minutes it can be solved 2 times)
For the second question(60 Minutes)

  • Q1. 

    Rat in a Maze Problem Statement

    You need to determine all possible paths for a rat starting at position (0, 0) in a square maze to reach its destination at (N-1, N-1). The maze is represented as an N*N ma...

  • Ans. Bactracking

    Approach: We can start the traversal of the paths from the rat’s starting position, i.e. (0,0) keeping track of the visited cells during the traversal. We will recursively go through all the paths possible until the last index of the grid (destination) is reached, and add the path information using which the rat successfully reached the end.

     

    Algorithm is as follows:

     

    1. Take the starting position of th...

    Maximum Frequency Number Problem Statement

    Given an array of integers with numbers in random order, write a program to find and return the number which appears the most frequently in the array.

    If multip...

  • Ans. Brute Force Approach

    Here, we can simply run two loops. The outer loop picks all elements one by one and the inner loop finds the frequency of the picked element and compares it with the maximum present so far.

     

    Algorithm:

     

    • Declare 4 variables as ‘maxFrequency’ , ‘currentFrequency’ , ‘maxElement’ , ‘currentElement’ and initialize them with 0
    • Run a loop from ‘i’ = ‘0’ to ‘N’
      • Set ‘currentElement’ as arr[i] and ‘curr...

Round 2 - Face to Face 

(2 Questions)

Round duration - 30 minutes
Round difficulty - Easy

It was an face to face round.There were 2 interviewers and they asked me coding question and some puzzles and some questions related to my project which was mentioned in my resume.

  • Q1. 

    Nth Fibonacci Number Problem Statement

    Calculate the Nth term in the Fibonacci sequence, where the sequence is defined as follows: F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2), with initial conditions F(1) = F(2) = 1.

    Input:

    ...
  • Ans. Recursive Approach
    • In this approach, we use recursion and uses a basic condition that :
      • If ‘N’ is smaller than ‘1’(N<=1) we return ‘N’
      • Else we call the function again as ninjaJasoos(N-1) + ninjaJasoos(N-2).
    • In this way, we reached our answer.
    Space Complexity: O(n)Explanation:

    O(N),  where ‘N’ is the given number.  

    As recursion uses a stack of size ‘N’

    Time Complexity: O(2^n)Explanation:

    O(2^N), where ‘N’ i...

    Ways To Make Coin Change

    Given an infinite supply of coins of varying denominations, determine the total number of ways to make change for a specified value using these coins. If it's not possible to make...

  • Ans. Recursion

     

    1. The idea is to use recursion.
    2. For a particular coin, we have two options either include it or exclude it.
    3. If we include that coin, then calculate the remaining number that we have to generate so recur for that remaining number.
    4. If we exclude that coin, then recur for the same amount that we have to make.
    5. Our final answer would be the total number of ways either by including or excluding.
    6. There will be two edg...

  • Q1. Multiple inheritance allowed in java?
  • Ans. 

    No, multiple inheritance is not allowed in Java.

    • Java does not support multiple inheritance for classes to avoid the diamond problem.

    • However, multiple inheritance is allowed for interfaces in Java.

    • Example: class A extends B, C is not allowed, but interface X extends Y, Z is allowed.

  • Q2. Diff btw static and final
  • Ans. 

    Static is used to define class-level variables and methods, while final is used to define constants and prevent inheritance or modification.

    • Static variables and methods belong to the class itself, while final variables cannot be changed once initialized.

    • Static members can be accessed without creating an instance of the class, while final members must be accessed through an instance.

    • Static variables are shared among all...

  • Q3. What is data encapsulation?
  • Ans. 

    Data encapsulation is the concept of bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit, known as a class.

    • Encapsulation hides the internal state of an object and only exposes the necessary functionalities through methods.

    • It helps in achieving data abstraction and information hiding.

    • Example: A class 'Car' encapsulates data like speed, color, and methods like accelerate() and brake().
