DSA qns:
1.Given a number, find the largest prime no. that is less than the given number . It was very easy and I did it in a flash and explained the Time complexity . I was asked how to reduce the time compexity . I said we could use Sieve of eratosthenes which I didnt remember how to code and fortunately I wasnt asked to code it.
2.Reverse the words in a given sentence . It was easy . I started doing it with full confidence and the interviewer saw my confidence and asked me to code it inly using pointers without using string at all . I stumbled all the way and tried it for around 12 mins and I did somewhat okay and he said its okay.
