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.

I applied via Referral and was interviewed before Nov 2021. There were 3 interview rounds.
Coding test was of 1:30 hour. Topic : Data structure and Algorithms, Platform : intervue.io
Two software development questions: bitwise OR of array subsequences and course schedule II.
Question 1 requires finding the bitwise OR of the sum of all subsequences of an array.
Question 2 is a LeetCode question about scheduling courses with prerequisites.
For question 1, we can use dynamic programming to find all subsequences and then calculate the bitwise OR.
For question 2, we can use a topological sort to determine t

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
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

You are provided with a directed graph composed of 'N' nodes. You have a matrix called 'EDGES' with dimensions M x 2, which specifies the 'M' edges in the graph. Each edge...
Detect cycle in a directed graph using depth-first search (DFS) algorithm.
Use DFS to traverse the graph and detect back edges indicating a cycle.
Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited nodes during traversal.
If a node is visited again during traversal and it is not the parent node, then a cycle exists.
Return true if a cycle is detected, false otherwise.

The first line ...
Return the boundary nodes of a binary tree in Anti-Clockwise direction starting from the root node.
Traverse the left boundary nodes in a top-down manner
Traverse the leaf nodes from left to right
Traverse the right boundary nodes in a bottom-up manner
Handle cases where duplicates occur in the boundary nodes
Implement the function without printing as printing is already managed
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. See which part interests you more, Increase your knowledge horizon, Always try to build a system a system considering It will be served to millions of customers. By doing this 1-2 projects will increase and cover all the major things which one should learn in their career/college.
Tip 1 : Always try to make it a single page
Tip 2 : Always make resume company specific. eg. Data Structures part more if you are applying for MNC's eg. Amazon, Google, DE Shaw, browserstack.
