An input string is valid if:
-> Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets
-> Open brackets must be closed in the correct order. - Problem Statement: You have an array, you can pick two numbers at a time and sum them into one, the cost of this operation is the sum of the numbers. Find minimum cost to reduce the array to size 1
- Problem Statement: You are given N, 2 dimensional points on the coordinate axis, find the maximum number of points that would lie on a line.
Round 2: Onsite/Video Call.
Problems:
- Design a Logging system using all 4 concepts of OOPS (Polymorphism, Inheritance, Data Abstraction, Encapsulation)
- Given a graph of cities, you have a source and destination city. Find the lexicographically minimum path between them (not the shortest).
- Questions on OS, Threading etc
Round 2: Onsite/Video Call.
Problems:
- Write code to find the next permutation of a number in O(n). (From Striver’s Sheet)
- Write code to find previous permutation of a number in O(n).
- Discussion on projects.
- Behavioral questions
Round 4: HR/Managerial Round
Verdict: Selected
Message to Aspiring Students:
Do a lot of DSA, Learn CS Fundamentals. Solve company-wise problems from Leetcode/ GFG. Read a lot of interview experiences. Don’t over exaggerate things in your resume, you might face questions on them. For a few companies, do system design as well. Things will work out, stay positive ☺.
