I applied via Walk-in and was interviewed before Jan 2022. There were 2 interview rounds.
Find an odd occurring number among even occurring numbers.
Use XOR operation to cancel out even occurring numbers and get the odd occurring number.
Iterate through the array and XOR each element with the result variable.
The final result will be the odd occurring number.
Print the spiral order of a binary tree and matrix.
For binary tree, use level order traversal and alternate direction for each level.
For matrix, use four pointers to traverse in spiral order.
Example for binary tree: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 8 -> 9
Example for matrix: 1 2 3 4 -> 8 7 6 5 -> 9 10 11 12 -> 16 15 14 13
Finding pairs in an array with a given sum.
Iterate through the array and for each element, check if the difference between the given sum and the element exists in the array.
Use a hash table to store the elements of the array and their indices for faster lookup.
If there are multiple pairs with the same sum, return any one of them.
If no pair is found, return null or an empty array.
Find total number of k element with given avg in an array in minimum time complexity.
Use sliding window technique to traverse the array in O(n) time complexity.
Maintain a sum variable to keep track of the sum of elements in the window.
If the sum of elements in the window is equal to k times the given avg, increment the count.
Move the window by subtracting the first element and adding the next element in the array.
Printing non-boundary elements of a binary tree
Traverse the tree in any order (preorder, inorder, postorder)
Check if the current node is not a boundary node (not the first or last node in its level)
If it is not a boundary node, print its value
Recursively traverse its left and right subtrees
To determine if a point is inside a polygon, use the ray casting algorithm.
Create a line from the point to a point outside the polygon
Count the number of times the line intersects with the polygon edges
If the count is odd, the point is inside the polygon; otherwise, it is outside
The four storage classes in C are auto, register, static, and extern.
Auto: default storage class for all local variables
Register: used to define local variables that should be stored in a register instead of RAM
Static: used to define local variables that retain their value between function calls
Extern: used to declare a global variable that is defined in another file
i is stored in global data segment, j is stored in stack, k is stored in heap.
i is a global variable and is stored in the global data segment
j is a local variable and is stored in the stack
k is a pointer variable and is stored in the stack, while the memory it points to is allocated on the heap using malloc()
Use a hash table to store the words and check for existence in constant time.
Create a hash table with the words as keys and a boolean value as the value.
For each new word, check if it exists in the hash table. If it does, it has appeared before. If not, add it to the hash table.
Alternatively, use a set data structure to store only the unique words and check for existence in the set.
I appeared for an interview before Jan 2021.
