  • Q1. Can you describe the coding scenario question you were given, and how it related to your resume?
Round 4 - HR 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Please explain the Quick Sort algorithm and its process of reallocation.
  • Ans. 

    Quick Sort is a popular sorting algorithm that uses divide and conquer strategy to sort elements in an array.

    • Quick Sort picks a pivot element and partitions the array around the pivot.

    • It recursively sorts the sub-arrays on either side of the pivot.

    • The process continues until the entire array is sorted.

    • Example: Given array [5, 2, 9, 3, 7], after Quick Sort it becomes [2, 3, 5, 7, 9].

Round difficulty - Medium

2 programming questions, MCQs based on OS, DBMS, OOPS and web fundamentals

  • Q1. Search In A 2D Matrix

    You have been given a 2-D array 'MAT' of size M x N where 'M' and 'N' denote the number of rows and columns, respectively. The elements of each row are sorted ...

  • Ans. Brute Force

    We have a brute force solution to this problem. We can simply traverse the matrix and check if ‘TARGET’ exists or not. 

    Space Complexity: O(1)Explanation:

    O(1)
     

    Since, we are not using any extra space to find the number of pairs. Therefore, the overall space complexity will be O(1).

    Time Complexity: O(m*n) - For 2d arraysExplanation:

    O(M*N) where ‘M’ and ‘N’ denote the number of rows and columns in ‘M...

  • Ans. Recursive Approach

    One way is to use recursion to reverse the list. Divide the linked list in two halves, the first node and the rest of the list. Reverse the second half using recursion and append the first half, that is the first node at the end of the reversed linked list. Return the head of the reversed linked list.

     

    Algorithm

     

    • If the list contains only one node, return the head of the list.
    • Else, divide the ...

    You are given a singly Linked List of integers. Your task is to return true if the given singly linked list is a palindrome otherwise returns false.

    For example:
    The given linked ...
  • Ans. Using Stack
    1. The idea is to traverse the Linked List from head to tail and push every encountered node data into the stack.
    2. Then we traverse the Linked List and for each node, we pop the top element from the stack and compare it with current node data of the Linked List. If they mismatch then the current linked list is not palindrome else if all elements match then the linked list is a palindrome.

    Given a Binary Tree with integer nodes, your task is to find the maximum level sum among all the levels in the Binary Tree. The sum of any...

  • Ans. Recursive Approach

    Let’s traverse the given Binary tree using Recursion.The idea is to recursively store the sum of nodes of every level separately in a map.

     

    • Take a map to store the sum of each level. 
    • The recursive function has ‘ROOT’, current level, and map as its parameters.
      • Base Condition:  If ‘ROOT’ is NULL, return.
      • Add the value of the current node to the value mapped to the current level in the map.
