Journey
My interview experience at Appinventiv was really good, especially as a fresher. Even if you get rejected, you still gain a lot of valuable experience from a technical interview. The MCQ and HR rounds were conducted online, but the two technical interviews were held in person at the office, which made the process more engaging and professional. It was the best interview experience on my list.
Application story
It was an on-campus drive, so I applied through the college job portal. I then received a link to participate in the first MCQ + coding round. After clearing that round, I was informed by the college that I had been selected. A few days later, I received an email from the company stating that my technical interviews were scheduled at the Appinventiv office in Noida. I went there, attended the first technical interview, and was selected. I was informed immediately and allowed to appear for the second technical interview. After that, I was asked to leave. A few days later, I received a message from the college saying that I had cleared the interviews and that the HR round would be scheduled next. Shortly after, I got an email for the HR round, which was conducted online. A few days after that, I received my final selection email.

You have been given two arrays, 'AT' and 'DT', representing the arrival and departure times of all trains that reach a railway station.

Your task is to find the minimum number of platforms required for the railway station so that no train needs to wait.

Note :
1. Every train will depart on the same day and the departure time will always be greater than the arrival time. For example, A train with arrival time 2240 and departure time 1930 is not possible.

2. Time will be given in 24H format and colons will be omitted for convenience. For example, 9:05AM will be given as "905", or 9:10PM will be given as "2110".

3. Also, there will be no leading zeroes in the given times. For example, 12:10AM will be given as “10” and not as “0010”.
