Interview preparation journey

Journey
It all started with getting admission into an engineering college. I began preparing for placements from the 3rd semester (a bit late), but it's better late than never. Like most students, I started with learning DSA. After practicing and revising the concepts, I became confident that I could clear any interview. As we all know, Accenture is a well-established MNC.
Application story
I filled out the Google form sent by our college, then went to the Accenture hiring web portal and applied for the position there.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
Why was I rejected? The reason is that the company stopped hiring freshers without informing anyone, and to date, I haven’t received any mail of rejection or acceptance.

Given an array ‘a’ of size ‘n’-1 with elements of range 1 to ‘n’. The array does not contain any duplicates. Your task is to find the missing number.


For example:
Input:
'a' = [1, 2, 4, 5], 'n' = 5

Output :
3

Explanation: 3 is the missing value in the range 1 to 5.
Problem approach

Step 1: Understand the input.
Step 2: Determine the expected total sum.

AmazonMicrosoftThought Works

Given an unsorted array of integers, you have to move the array elements in a way such that all the zeroes are transferred to the end, and all the non-zero elements are moved to the front. The non-zero elements must be ordered in their order of appearance.

For example, if the input array is: [0, 1, -2, 3, 4, 0, 5, -27, 9, 0], then the output array must be:

[1, -2, 3, 4, 5, -27, 9, 0, 0, 0].

Expected Complexity: Try doing it in O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity. Here, ‘n’ is the size of the array.

Problem approach

Step 1: Understand the Problem.
Step 2: Use Two Pointers Approach.
Step 3: Traverse the Array.
Step 4: Fill Remaining with Zeros.
Step 5: Return or Modify in Place.
