You are given a grid ‘MAT’ of ‘N’ rows and ‘M’ columns with positive integers written in each cell.

The grid has the following properties-

• Integers in each row are sorted in ascending order from left to right.
• Integers in each column are sorted in ascending order from top to bottom.

You are also given a positive integer ‘target’. Your task is to find whether ‘target’ is present inside the grid or not.

Problem approach
  • Since elements in each row are sorted we can use Binary Search to search for ‘target’ in each row.
  • If in any row of the grid we find ‘target’, we will return ‘true’.
  • If ‘target’ is not present in any row, we will return ‘false’.

You have been given a string STR and a non-empty string PTR. Your task is to find all the starting indices of PTR’s anagram in STR.

An anagram of a string is another string which contains the same characters and is obtained by rearranging the characters.

For example: ‘SILENT’ and ‘LISTEN’ are anagrams of each other. ‘ABA’ and ‘ABB’ are not anagram because we can’t convert ‘ABA’ to ‘ABB’ by rearranging the characters of particular strings.

Note:

1. Both STR and PTR consist of English uppercase letters.
2. Length of string 'STR' will always be greater than or equal to the length of string ‘PTR’.
3. In case, there is no anagram substring, then return an empty sequence.
4. In case of more than one anagrams, return the indices in increasing order.
Problem approach

We have a brute force solution to this problem. We find all substrings of STR of length M (length of PTR) and store indices of those substrings in ‘ANAGRAM_INDICIES’ which are the anagrams of given string PTR.

HR Round
Duration30 minutes
Interview date15 Oct 2021
Coding problem1

This round consisted of the typical HR questions. First, the interviewer asked me to introduce myself then she discussed my resume for around 20 minutes and then she gave some corporate scenarios like how will I behave when I had conflicting views with others in my team and how will I avoid a conflict to occur?
At last, she asked If I had any questions and I asked mainly about what tech stack I would be working on and related questions.
I forgot to mention before the HR round there was an English Competency test also that was around 30 mintues and had basic English related questions such as jumbled sentences and story telling etc.

1. Basic HR Question

Why should we hire you?

Problem approach

Tip 1 : The cross-questioning can go intense sometimes, think before you speak.


Tip 2 : Be open-minded and answer whatever you are thinking, in these rounds, I feel it is important to have an opinion.
 

Tip 3 : The context of questions can be switched, pay attention to the details. It is okay to ask questions in these rounds, like what are the projects currently the company is investing in and which team you are mentoring, how all is the work environment etc.
