Interviewer greeted me and told this round is only on Basic DSA.(This was scheduled same day at 3:30pm)
He asked Following questions:
Q1: Introduction and Explain your resume?
Q2: What if we have one class (which has array functionality) and other class (stack) which we will inherit from array class what could possibly go wrong here?
Q3: What is Static data member in Classes?
Q4: What is Static member function in Classes? Can static member functions call normal data member of classes?
Q5: you are given a 2D grid, each index has some value associated with it. From Bottom right cornor you need to find a path till Top left cornor where you can get maximum sum of values from index occuring on the path, You can go in Up direction, Left direction or diagonal up-left direction? 

I was asked for approach (No coding was done on compiler)

This round happened around 5pm in evening, i got the call from the interviewer to join Zoom call immediately. In this round (it was kind of rapid fire round on DSA,)
Following questions were asked:
Q1: Introduce yourself and explain your resume.
Q2: What is your favorite data structure and why? I said it is Deque, as it is can be helpful in many questions
Q3: Explain what are segment trees. Also give a question were we can use them.
Q4: What are tries, and give one application of tries.
Q5: Given one array you need to give approach to find out all the permutation of the elements in it. (I gave recursive approach)
Q6: Given the same array and value k, you need to tell if sum of subset can be equal to k. (This question is modification of 0/1 Knapsack. I explained the recursive approach)

Interviewer told me to wait for last HR round (I was on cloud 9 after listening to this as it was elimination round)
