Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Say you use SVN for source control..you have several revisions of a file...R1, r2, r3..etc..Someone checked in a bug and the revision became bad..need t find the first bad revision..gave a function findBadRevision(int goodRevision, int badRevision) so for e.g the revisions were GGBB and function passes in 0,4 so the first bad revision is 2. There exists a function boolean hasBug(int revision) which will tell us if a certain revision has a bug.
can assume good revision < bad revision
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
