A Software Developer was asked
Q. A hash function was written to convert a string into a hash. Write an 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

A Software Developer was asked
Q. Write a program to print prime numbers within 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

  • Print all the indexes that are still marked as true

A Software Developer was asked 9mo ago
Q. 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.

A Software Developer was asked
Q. 1. bitwise OR of the sum of all the subsequence of the array [Hard] 2. course schedule II (leetcode question)
Ans. 

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.

Ans. 

Calculate the time in minutes required to completely burn a binary tree starting from a given node.

  • Perform a depth-first search (DFS) to calculate the time taken to burn the entire tree.

  • Track the time taken to burn each node based on its distance from the starting node.

  • Consider the maximum time taken among all nodes as the total time to burn the entire tree.

Zomato: Food Delivery App or Full-Time Reality Show?
Hyperpure is that one startup that’s always doing something. One day it’s launching “Pure Veg Mode”, next day they’re like “okay sorry, never mind.” Then the green vs red uniform fight, 10-minute delivery debates and what not! As a user, I’m entertained. As someone who follows startups, I’m confused but lowkey impressed. They take bold bets, mess up publicly, fix it (sometimes), and still stay in the spotlight, like they know how to stay in the conversation. Do you think this is all smart strategy or just chaos that somehow works? Curious what others in startups think, is this the new normal for building brand + business?
