First round was 1hr coding round on video call. It was a medium level coding problem. Interviewer was very polite and helpful.

1. Rotated sorted array search

Easy
0/40
Asked in company
Flipkart limited

You have been given an array of ‘N’ distinct integers which is sorted in ascending order and then rotated to the left by an unknown which you don’t know beforehand. For a given integer ‘X’, your task is to find the index of ‘X’ in the given array if it exists.

Please note that the sorted array A : [2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 15] might become [6, 8, 9, 11, 15, 2, 3] after rotating it twice to the left.

Problem approach

I first gave the brute force solution, then gave the binary search solution and interviewer was satisfied with the approach.

Given a singly linked list of integers. Your task is to return the head of the reversed linked list.

For example:
The given linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4-> NULL. Then the reverse linked list is 4 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> NULL and the head of the reversed linked list will be 4.
Follow Up :
Can you solve this problem in O(N) time and O(1) space complexity?
Problem approach

I wrote the iterative solution then he asked me to do it recursively. I faced some issues, but he gave me hints and i successfully wrote the solution.

1. Sort 0 1

Moderate
0/80
Asked in companies
HCL TechnologiesMorgan StanleyOracle

You have been given an integer array/list(ARR) of size N that contains only integers, 0 and 1. Write a function to sort this array/list. Think of a solution which scans the array/list only once and don't require use of an extra array/list.

Note:
You need to change in the given array/list itself. Hence, no need to return or print anything. 
Problem approach

First i wrote the solution using count variable. Interviewer wanted more optimised solution, then i solved in single traversal.
