Journey
I started solving DSA coding questions on various online platforms in my 3rd year of graduation, For clearing Aptitude round (i.e. 1st round of every company, on-campus as well as off-campus), I saw some videos on YouTube for finding tricks & shortcuts and practiced solving questions online.
Application story
I think in Oct 2023 the Accenture came for recruitment. After that I applied to Accenture through their website
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was not selected for this role because I lacked sufficient knowledge of advance DSA at that time. Also my English communication was weak at that time.

AccentureOYOTata Consultancy Services (TCS)

Given string s contains only lowercase letters of size n. Print its all unique permutations in sorted order.
ex: s = "aba"
output = "aab", "aba", "baa"

Problem approach

Generate all permutations of input string using recursive function & stored it into a vector perm;
Then sort the 'perm' & remove the duplicate strings from perm.
After that return or print the strings in perm.

2. Remove Duplicates

CIS - Cyber InfrastructureTata Consultancy Services (TCS)PayPal

Given integer array A of size n, then perform following operations :
if A[i] = A[j] , then delete A[i] & A[j] from array. And insert 0 in array.

Find the minimum possible length of A after performing this operation several (possibly, zero) times.

Problem approach

I used a map to store the frequency of A[i].
Initialize a variable, count = 0;
After that apply a loop through out the map & do following:
1) if freq[A[i]] if odd then increment cnt by 1
2) Also I used two bool variable for isZeroPresent & isRepeated.

After loop, Return cnt + (isZeroPresent | isRepeated);
