Journey
I began with zero coding experience, learning the basics through online courses. I practised coding challenges online, joined online communities (GitHub, Stack Overflow), and developed my soft skills. After months of preparation, I focused on Accenture-specific interview questions, refined my resume, and researched their culture. Confidence and perseverance paid off! Later, I received the amazing news—I was selected by Accenture as a Software Engineer!
Application story
I cleared Accenture's campus placement in 3 rounds: 1. First Assessment 2. Technical Interview 3. HR Interview

Coding problem1

It was a coding round.

1.

The function accepts two positive integers ‘r’ and ‘unit’ and a positive integer array ‘arr’ of size ‘n’ as its argument ‘r’ represents the number of rats present in an area, ‘unit’ is the amount of food each rat consumes and each ith element of array ‘arr’ represents the amount of food present in ‘i+1’ house number, where 0 <= i.

Note :

  • Return -1 if the array is null
  • Return 0 if the total amount of food from all houses is not sufficient for all the rats.
  • Computed values lie within the integer range.

Example:

Input:

r: 7
unit: 2
n: 8
arr: 2 8 3 5 7 4 1 2
Output:

4

Explanation:

Total amount of food required for all rats = r * unit

= 7 * 2 = 14.

The amount of food in 1st houses = 2+8+3+5 = 18. Since, amount of food in 1st 4 houses is sufficient for all the rats. Thus, output is 4.

Problem approach

Here’s the corrected paragraph with grammatical errors fixed:

1. Calculate the total food required: total_food_needed = r * unit

2. Calculate the total food available: total_food_available = sum(arr)

3. Compare the total food available with the total food needed:
- If total_food_available >= total_food_needed, return True (enough food)
- Otherwise, return False (insufficient food)
