One of the best and clean Interview Rounds I had ever given.
1. DSA Round 1 [Face2Face (Virtual) ] [1 hour morning 10'O clock]:
DSA Questions:
Brief Introduction of myself .
I clearly told them that I did these things in my company, also I didn't make any project in my college time too, only did DSA . Really the interviewer is a very good guy he told me Buddy No worries I will not judge you on the basis of these things. This is the DSA round and I know in a year how much a person can work / learn, you are just a beginner in the software industry.
Keep calm ... so can we start. I said Yes, please.
Q1 : Given a circular Array , find the max sum of subarray of size K in which last element is always included.
Ex : A = [1,2,3,4] , K = 2 , then subarray of size 2 in which 4(Last element) is there are - [3,4] , [4,1] , so sum is 7 , 5 and max is 7.
Q2 : Given a binary matrix '1' represent the blocked cell , you have to reach from (0,0) to (n,m) , find minimum number of steps , if not possible then return INF.
