6 Interview questions

A Software Developer Trainee was asked
Q. Given the heads of two singly linked-lists headA and headB, return the node at which the two lists intersect. If the two linked lists do not intersect, return null.
Ans. 

Finding the intersection point of two linked lists.

  • Traverse both lists and find their lengths.

  • Move the pointer of the longer list ahead by the difference in lengths.

  • Now, traverse both lists simultaneously until the pointers meet.

  • The meeting point is the intersection point.

A Software Developer Trainee was asked
Q. Can you provide an example of inheritance in everyday life and demonstrate its implementation in code?
Ans. 

Inheritance in everyday life is when traits or characteristics are passed down from parents to children.

  • Inheritance in code allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.

  • In everyday life, children often inherit physical traits, such as eye color or height, from their parents.

  • In code, a child class can inherit attributes and behaviors from a parent class.

  • For example, a parent class 'Animal' ca...

A Software Developer Trainee was asked
Q. Given a tree, find its height and the height of its mirror image.
Ans. 

To find the height of a tree and its mirror image, we need to traverse the tree and calculate the maximum depth.

  • Traverse the tree using depth-first search or breadth-first search

  • Keep track of the maximum depth encountered during traversal

  • Repeat the traversal process for the mirror image of the tree

  • Compare the heights of the original tree and its mirror image

A Software Developer Trainee was asked
Q. Write pseudo code for a circular queue.
Ans. 

Pseudo code for circular queue

  • A circular queue is a data structure that follows the FIFO (First-In-First-Out) principle.

  • It uses an array to store the elements and two pointers, front and rear, to keep track of the queue.

  • When the rear pointer reaches the end of the array, it wraps around to the beginning, creating a circular behavior.

  • To enqueue an element, check if the queue is full. If not, increment the rear poin...

A Software Developer Trainee was asked
Q. Write a query to obtain specific data from a table (e.g.: all employees having manager xyz and staying in city abc)
Ans. 

Retrieve employees under a specific manager in a designated city using SQL query.

  • Use the SELECT statement to specify the columns you want to retrieve.

  • Utilize the WHERE clause to filter results based on manager and city.

  • Example query: SELECT * FROM employees WHERE manager_id = 'xyz' AND city = 'abc';

  • Ensure the table name and column names match your database schema.

A Software Developer Trainee was asked
Q. Concatenation of linked lists
Ans. 

Concatenation of linked lists is the process of combining two or more linked lists into a single linked list.

  • Create a new linked list to store the concatenated result.

  • Traverse the first linked list and add each node to the new linked list.

  • Traverse the second linked list and add each node to the new linked list.

  • The last node of the first linked list should point to the head of the second linked list.

  • Return the head...

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was a Skype interview which lasted for 30 minutes. Started with introducing myself and then moved onto the technical aspects.
Tips: Basics of OOPs, DBMS and Data structures must be thorough. Example, knowing basics of linked list, trees etc

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This interview took place at the company itself. It lasted for an hour.
There was a ma'am who took my interview, so only one person was present. She tested my coding skills, tweaking questions to see if I paid attention to detail.
Tips: Practice questions from geeksforgeeks related to Linked lists, trees, arrays. Do not forget to practice writing queries in DBMS. If you forget something, do not worry, most likely she will nudge you in the right direction.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a theory based interview. Practical applications of OOPs concepts were tested.
Tips: Read about how the basic data structures are implemented in real life. Some candidates were asked about Java concepts such as throw exception. So go through those also.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: First I had an interview with the HR team, then I had a phone call interview with the HR lead. Both rounds were pretty straightforward, they appreciate it if you know something about their company beforehand(so go through their website)
Tips: Just be yourself, do research on the company and job position you're applying for. If possible, rehearse your answer to the question, "tell me something about you"

Skills: Practical Application Of Concepts, Technical Skill And Speaking Skill, Logical And Structured Thinking

Round: Test
Experience: The first round had two programming questions and one question of database concepts.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 3

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In the first technical interview, I was asked basic questions about the domain and my resume. There was also a lot of emphasis on problem solving abilities since I was asked to solve some puzzles.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The second technical interview was a written round where I was asked to code some searching / sorting variants , to test my ability to write quality code.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The last and the final round was probably the toughest and I was asked to design databases, with some constraints. I was given ample time to do it and it did take a lot of time. After that, we had some interesting questions about data structures and trees and that was it.
