  • Ans. 

    This can be done by iterative swapping using two pointers. The first pointer points to the beginning of the string, whereas the second pointer points to the end. Both pointers keep swapping their elements and go towards each other. Essentially, the algorithm simulates the rotation of a string with respect to its midpoint.
    Time Complexity : O(n)

  • Ans. 

    The find command in UNIX is a command line utility for walking a file hierarchy. It can be used to find files and directories and perform subsequent operations on them. It supports searching by file, folder, name, creation date, modification date, owner and permissions. By using the ‘-exec’ other UNIX commands can be executed on files or folders found.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Be honest. It’ll be appreciated to be honest if you don’t have much idea about it rather than being over confident. Also whatever you know about learn in detail. For example I was given to write a code showing inheritance, I was asked questions on multiple scenario it is important to understand the in depth of concept of all keywords like static and annotations (@override) as this is basic but we need to know about how it works and what exactly happens when we don’t have it.
