- Q1. Find cycle in linked list
- Ans.
Detecting cycles in a linked list using Floyd's Tortoise and Hare algorithm
Use two pointers - slow and fast
If there is a cycle, the two pointers will eventually meet
Time complexity is O(n) and space complexity is O(1)

- Q1. Opps concept and Linklist and tree are highly asked in Synopsys.
- Q2. Reverse the linklist.
- Ans.
To reverse a linked list, iterate through the list and change the direction of pointers.
Iterate through the linked list and keep track of the previous, current, and next nodes.
Update the pointers of each node to reverse the direction.
Set the head of the linked list to the last node encountered during iteration.
- Q3. Aptitude and Puzzle

- Q1. Find leaves in a binary tree, left to right.
- Ans.
Traverse the binary tree using a queue to find leaves from left to right.
Start by adding the root node to a queue
While the queue is not empty, dequeue a node and check if it is a leaf node (both children are null)
If it is a leaf node, add its value to the result array
If it is not a leaf node, enqueue its children in left to right order
- Q2. Bfs in binary tree
- Ans.
Breadth-first search (BFS) is a traversal algorithm used to visit all nodes of a binary tree level by level.
Start at the root node and visit all nodes at the current level before moving to the next level.
Use a queue data structure to keep track of nodes to visit next.
Example: BFS traversal of a binary tree - 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5

Interview Preparation Tips
At the end of the interview, they asked us to leave and said results will be declared within that week. But no response, so I sent a mail, they said the process is still going on. After 3 weeks I again sent the mail and to quote them, 'both of us were neither clear reject nor clear select'. So they were still deciding and gave me a very definite response that will let me know the final result by the end of the week. I did not get any response and did not even bother to follow up again.
Okay, firstly, there's nothing like this clear reject/select shit, the candidate is either ideal for the job or not. You people should give more credit to the candidates and have the courage to reject them. Recruiters need to be a little sensible while hiring. Rejection is not an issue but not getting a clear/firm response. So, please if you don't find a person suitable for the role, just tell them and help them move on. Else they'll keep thinking in the back of their mind that they might have a chance at this company.
Secondly, the Noida office is really depressing.

4 Questions
- Q1. Algorithm to find GCD
- Ans.
Algorithm to find GCD
Use Euclid's algorithm to find GCD
Divide the larger number by the smaller number
If remainder is 0, smaller number is GCD
If remainder is not 0, repeat with smaller number and remainder
- Q2. Code of in-order traversal
- Ans.
In-order traversal is a way of visiting all nodes of a binary tree in a specific order.
Start at the root node
Traverse the left subtree recursively
Visit the root node
Traverse the right subtree recursively
- Q3. Matrix traversal algorithm
- Ans.
Matrix traversal algorithm is used to visit each element of a matrix in a specific order.
Matrix traversal can be done using nested loops.
There are different traversal orders like row-wise, column-wise, spiral, diagonal, etc.
Traversal can be optimized using techniques like caching and parallel processing.
- Q4. Fundamentals of data structure
- Ans.
Data structure is a way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and used efficiently.
Data structures are used to manage large amounts of data efficiently.
Common data structures include arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.
Choosing the right data structure for a particular problem can greatly improve the efficiency of an algorithm.
Understanding data structures is essent...
