Q1. 
Cycle Detection in a Directed Graph
Given a directed graph, you need to determine whether or not the graph contains a cycle.
Your function should return true if there is at least one cycle in the graph; ...read more
Ans. 
Detect cycles in a directed graph and return true if a cycle exists, false otherwise.
• Use Depth First Search (DFS) to detect cycles in the graph.

• Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited vertices and a recursion stack to keep track of vertices in the current DFS traversal.

• If a vertex is visited and is present in the recursion stack, then a cycle exists.

• Example: For the input graph with vertices 0, 1, 2 and edges...read more

Q2. 
Next Permutation Problem Statement
Given a permutation of ‘N’ integers, rearrange them to generate the lexicographically next greater permutation. A sequence is a permutation if it contains all integers f...read more
Ans. 
The problem involves rearranging a permutation of integers to generate the lexicographically next greater permutation.
• Understand the concept of lexicographically next greater permutation.

• Implement a function to find the next greater permutation.

• Handle cases where no greater permutation exists by returning the smallest permutation.

Q1. 
Validate BST Problem Statement
Given a binary tree with N nodes, determine whether the tree is a Binary Search Tree (BST). If it is a BST, return true; otherwise, return false.
A binary search tree (BST)...read more
Ans. 
Validate if a binary tree is a Binary Search Tree (BST) or not.
• Check if the left subtree of a node contains only nodes with data less than the node's data.

• Check if the right subtree of a node contains only nodes with data greater than the node's data.

• Recursively check if both the left and right subtrees are also binary search trees.

The test was scheduled at 2:30 PM, IST. The test was conducted online, due to the ongoing pandemic situation. Webcam was required to be switched on during the complete duration of the test. I had solved 2/2 coding questions with all test cases successfully passing. Out of the 10 MCQ questions, I had done 6. Around 90 students sat for the online coding round, 19 were shortlisted for the interview. Those who had solved both coding questions were called for interview.

Candies Distribution Problem Statement
Prateek is a kindergarten teacher with a mission to distribute candies to students based on their performance. Each student must get at least one candy, and if two s...read more
Ans. 
The task is to distribute candies to students based on their performance while minimizing the total candies distributed.
• Iterate through the array of student ratings to determine the minimum number of candies required.

• Assign each student at least one candy.

• Adjust the number of candies based on the ratings of adjacent students to minimize the total candies distributed.

• Example: For ratings [5, 8, 1, 5, 9, 4], the optimal ...read more

Problem Statement: Minimum Cost to Buy Ninja Blades
Ninja Yuki wants to purchase ninja blades at the Spring Fair in his village. Initially, he has 0 blades, and his goal is to buy 'N' blades. The merchant...read more
Ans. 
Calculate the minimum cost to acquire a specific number of ninja blades using a given pricing mechanism.
• Iterate through each test case to determine the minimum cost needed to acquire the desired number of blades.

• Consider the cost of adding 1 blade versus doubling the current number of blades to reach the target quantity.

• Keep track of the total cost as blades are acquired based on the pricing mechanism.

• Return the minimu

This was a pure DSA based round. Two questions were asked in this round. The interviewer was quite good, and helped in between.

Q1. 
First Unique Character in a Stream Problem Statement
Given a string A consisting of lowercase English letters, determine the first non-repeating character at each point in the stream of characters.
Examp...read more
Ans. 
Given a string of lowercase English letters, find the first non-repeating character at each point in the stream.
• Iterate through the characters in the string and maintain a count of each character.

• Use a queue to keep track of the order of characters encountered.

• For each character, check if it is the first non-repeating character by looking at its count in the map.

• If a character's count is 1, it is the first non-repeatin...read more

Ans. 
Modify a boolean matrix such that if any element is 1, set its entire row and column to 1 in-place.
• Iterate through the matrix to find elements with value 1.

• Use additional arrays to keep track of rows and columns to be modified.

• Update the matrix in-place based on the identified rows and columns.

This round was also again focused on DSA. Two interviewers were present. This round was very extensive and everything was asked in depth as well as they asked to write the codes as well for all the questions. I was also asked to explain my projects, they were based on ML. Many aspects of OOPs, POP, memory allocation was asked as well.

Q1. 
Maximum Sum of Index-Multiplied Rotations
Given an array ARR of size N, determine the maximum sum of i * ARR[i] possible through any number of rotations. Both left and right rotations are allowed, and can...read more
Ans. 
Find maximum sum of i * ARR[i] possible through any number of rotations in an array.
• Calculate the sum of i * ARR[i] for each rotation and find the maximum sum.

• Consider both left and right rotations.

• Optimize the solution to avoid redundant calculations.

• Handle edge cases like empty array or single element array.

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...read more
Ans. 
Find all possible paths for a rat in a maze from source to destination.
• Use backtracking to explore all possible paths in the maze.

• Keep track of visited cells to avoid revisiting them.
