Round 1: DSA Problem
I was asked to solve the Minimum Replacements to Sort the Array problem.
Started with a recursive solution and then relaised better approach while doing so.
While I was able to complete the problem, it took me more than an hour to do so.
When asked to dry run my solution and asked me to give the final array after changes, I struggled to explain it properly, which contributed to my rejection in this round.
Feedback:
I was rejected after the first round due to taking too long to solve the problem and my inability to confidently walk through the dry run of my solution.
