Selected Interview preparation journey
Preparation
Duration: 1.5 month
Topics: OOPS, DBMS, Operating Systems, C++, Networking
Tip 1 : For cognitive round practice questions and solve the previous year questions you will easily find them on internet, I have seen most of the questions have repeated from the previous year.
For Pseudo code try solving questions from the topics such as loops, functions, array, strings, bit manipulation, etc.
Tip 2 : For coding round clear the basic concepts learn any one language and no need to cover full DSA only focus on
these topics ( Array, String, linked list) that will be more then enough also please solve previous year coding
questions before appearing, so that you will get a basic idea about, how the questions will be ask, the level of
question will be Easy to Medium only.
Tip 3 : For Interview round - Wear formal at the time appearing for an interview that will make a good impression and only
focus on the things which you have mention in your resume whether it skills or projects or trainings, all the questions
will be ask from the resume only nothing from outside. Also if you feel like you don't know answers of few questions
you can politely say on "I don't know" instead of giving wrong answers, it will create negative impact.

1. Nth Fibonacci Number
Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
The n-th term of Fibonacci series F(n), where F(n) is a function, is calculated using the following formula -
F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2),
Where, F(1) = 1, F(2) = 1
Provided 'n' you have to find out the n-th Fibonacci Number. Handle edges cases like when 'n' = 1 or 'n' = 2 by using conditionals like if else and return what's expected.
"Indexing is start from 1"
Example :
Input: 6
Output: 8
Explanation: The number is ‘6’ so we have to find the “6th” Fibonacci number.
So by using the given formula of the Fibonacci series, we get the series:
[ 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21]
So the “6th” element is “8” hence we get the output.
Problem approach
#include
using namespace std;
int fib(int n)
{
if (n <= 1)
return n;
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2);
}
int main ()
{
int n = 9;
cout << fib(n);
getchar();
return 0;
}
2. Missing Numbers
Easy
28m average time
85% success
0/40
Asked in companies
You are given an array 'ARR' of distinct positive integers. You need to find all numbers that are in the range of the elements of the array, but not in the array. The missing elements should be printed in sorted order.
Example:
If the given array is [4, 2, 9] then you should print "3 5 6 7 8". As all these elements lie in the range but not present in the array.
Problem approach
1. Initialize a Boolean array b[] with zero of size equals to the maximum element of the array.
2. Iterate over the given array and mark for each element in the given array mark that index as true in the array b[].
3. Now traverse the given array b[] from index arr[0] and print those index whose value is false as they are the element that is missing in the given array.
