6/29/2022 16:25:28~50 minutesAANiladri GhoshIntro, Engage Project, DSAProject - why used particular techstack/api, challenges faced during project, overview of implementation.
Coding - https://leetcode.com/problems/sum-root-to-leaf-numbers/
Asked to write full code on codility (not just function) and run it for 2 test cases.
No.The project discussion went really well and captured his interest. The coding part did not go smoothly but somehow did it. Advice - Do not assume that AA round will be HR questions.

OS (paging)
Delete a node from linked list when node is given and head is not given them implement linked list and show that your function worksNone apart from introduce yourself Overall experience was nice. The interviewer was really friendly. Do not hesitate to ask him if have any doubt and always be verbal about whatever is going on your mind, because the interviewer will then only be able to help if your thought process is wrong or a better solution is possible. The first approach I came up with did not have a nice time complexity so the interviewer pointed out the area I should consider and I was able to figure out a better approach. Then I implemented linked list, createLinkedList and printLinkedList function to show that my function works. But codility does not support user input apparently. So I would suggest create your linked list/tree etc in the main function and feed that to your function. That's all I guess ☺️

Full screen should be shared. I was allowed to use pen and paper for my rough work purpose.
I received a mail from Srija Nagam, I think she is the recruiter.

My interviewer is cool guy and friendly , he made me comfortable first.

My interview lasted for 45 minutes and it has only coding part , nothing related to my project or CS fundamentals
.First he asked me to introduce myself.
Then we went to coding part.

He asked me to open any of the compiler I like to. I used Online GDB compiler, he told me to use any language that I want to code.

My question was " RECOVER BINARY SEARCH TREE " question .

Here is the question link: https://leetcode.com/problems/recover-binary-search-tree/


He just asked me to write a function that solves the function . No Tree building or no main function. First , he asked me my approach to solve the question.
After I told my approach , he asked me to code for that.
Then, interviewer pointed out some mistakes in my code regarding edge cases.
He explained me some edge cases and asked me to rectify them in my code.


After I wrote the code, interviewer asked me to dry run the code and explain my code. I was not asked to run my code.

Then I explained the code and made dry run of it. Done with my coding part with this single question.
Then he asked me weather I have any questions for him.

I asked some questions to him. After he answered my questions, he said we are out of time now. Have a great day. That's all with my interview.

counter questions about my engage project
given 3 array find common smallest element
was able to explain it partially
the he asked what i know in dsa
i said DP, array string etc
the he asked .e the searching techniques
i said linear.. binary with their complexity
then he asked me to explain binary
i did that
then he asked me can i implement it?
i said yes
i implemented almost half of it on an online compiler
and he said, he got it and it's enough and said now time is less do you have any questions for me?
thats it
engage project detailed explanation interviewer was an awesome and cool person and experience was good and it's ok if you can't answer everything he asks.

7/13/2022 21:26:4035 minutesAAMr. SubramaniamI had detailed discussion on my engage project with the interviewer about my project's built to future scope and scaling of the project.
I was asked about static and dynamic memory allocations, about time and space optimization, how it works and how it is connected with the performance of the system etc.
I was also asked about my favourite day to day app and what i would like to improve in that app if given a chance to work in the team building that app.
No DSA question was being asked in my interview. All questions were based to test the analytical capability of the student.Same as mentioned before.The interviewer was really sweet and it went smooth overall.

With some extra conditions
And test cases
I prepared "introduce yourself" speech etc ..

But interviewer went directly to technical part with out taking introduction.

He said question in codility platform and

I gave him 2approaches for solving the question
He is expecting another approach
He gave clue and I got that approach.

I solved for test cases ..then slowly he Is adding the testcases and I got stucked in one test case and I told him approach but not haven't coded completely due to time factor..

He gave another sample input and me to check if Your code works in these type of inputs...yes my code is working..


Then time up

He said bye ..All the best for future
I asked for feedback.
He told me to practice more since you are in 3rd year it's ok..

Time: 1 hour 10 min

It started with an introduction and brief discussions on the projects mentioned in my resume, engage project as well as other projects too
Some questions related to responsiveness, CSS flexboxes and grids

Realtime databases, MongoDB about authentication, caching + some more tech related to projects

Two Coding questions:

1) Given an absolute path for a file (Unix-style), simplify it. Note that absolute path always begin with β€˜/’ ( root directory ), a dot in path represent current directory and double dot represents parent directory.

"/a/./" --> means stay at the current directory 'a'
"/a/b/.." --> means jump to the parent directory
from 'b' to 'a'
"////" --> consecutive multiple '/' are a valid
path, they are equivalent to single "/".

Input : /home/
Output : /home

2.) Print leafNodes in binary tree right to left, implement whole binary tree, create tree, print tree, everything from scratch + cross questions on every line you write

DSA ques:
Q1. Check if the given IPv4 address is valid or not. IPv4 is valid if it is of "___.___.___.___" this form, which have 4 octants seperated by 3 dots and the number in each octant is between 0-255(both inclusive)[to be coded in codelity]
Q2. Convert decimal number to binary number.(by division method)[to be coded in codelity]
DBMS ques: what have you learnt in DBMS? Which software did you used? Try to explain DML and DDL
What are your subjects in 4th Sem? Which one was your favourite? Some discussion about projects Overall experience was good. The interviewer was very sweet and trying to help me throughout. There was some mic issue on MS Teams, it took about 25-30 mins to resolve that, till then I got very tensed, I felt like aaj to nhi hona mera interview - ab to gyi mai 😒, but the interviewer was very supportive and the voice was connected through phone call. πŸ˜€ The interview ended with a follow up question.
