Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Round-1: Coding Round
Round-1 was an online assessment round, primarily consisting of two coding questions of easy to medium level difficulty. Both the questions were based on fundamental Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) problems. The very first question involved array operations that focused on testing candidate’s understanding in array manipulation techniques. The second question focused on string manipulation, this question had a quite challenging logic to arrive onto the correct solution.
I managed to pass all the test cases of both the questions. As a result, I was shortlisted for the subsequent Interview rounds. Out of all the participants, only 24 students in total were selected for the further interview rounds and I was one of them.
