- Q1. Given an array of n numbers , find the kth largest find the sum from a th largest to bth largest n can be huge
- Ans.
Find the sum of kth to bth largest numbers in a huge array efficiently.
Sort the array in descending order to easily find the kth and bth largest numbers.
Use a priority queue or min heap to efficiently find the kth and bth largest numbers without sorting the entire array.
Once you have the kth and bth largest numbers, iterate through the array and sum the numbers between them.
- Q2. Mostly elasticsearch related and company work related questions

- Q3. Print prime numbers in a given range and optimize the solution?
- Ans.
Print prime numbers in a given range and optimize the solution.
Use Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to generate prime numbers efficiently
Start with a boolean array of size n+1, mark all as true
Loop through the array and mark all multiples of each prime as false

- Q4. Puzzle – 25 horses – 5 lanes, find fastest 3 horses?
- Q5. Web related questions on Sessions and cookies?
- Q6. A lot of discussion on my resume, experience etc
- Q7. Find angle between hour hand and minute hand in clock if time is given? Write a program or pseudo code?
- Ans.
Find angle between hour and minute hand in a clock given the time.
Calculate the angle made by the hour hand with respect to 12 o'clock position
Calculate the angle made by the minute hand with respect to 12 o'clock position
Find the difference between the two angles and take the absolute value
If the angle is greater than 180 degrees, subtract it from 360 degrees to get the smaller angle
- Q8. A hash function was written to convert a string into a hash. Write a un-hash function to revert it(from hash to string)?
- Ans.
To un-hash a string, use a reverse algorithm to convert the hash back to the original string.
Create a reverse algorithm that takes the hash as input and outputs the original string
Use the same logic as the hash function but in reverse order
If the hash function used a specific algorithm, use the inverse of that algorithm to un-hash the string

Interview Preparation Tips
Tip 1 : For Data Structures number of questions doesn't matter. Try to understand the logic behind them and try to apply them in creating multiple scenario's. Learn them by heart.
Tip 2 : For Web.Development Try to learn full stack development.
