Journey
I have done most of my coding in my final year only, but now regret that I should have started a little bit earlier. I practised mainly from Leetcode and Code Studio.
Application story
I was looking for better opportunities across different platforms. I came across an opening on Hackerrank. So I applied through that link.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected because I was able to solve both the DSA problems in the given time frame. The questions were of medium-high difficulty level. I was able to pass all the test cases by my approach.

Hewlett Packard EnterpriseSamsungIntuit

You are given two Singly Linked Lists of integers, which may have an intersection point.

Your task is to return the first intersection node. If there is no intersection, return NULL.


Example:-
The Linked Lists, where a1, a2, c1, c2, c3 is the first linked list and b1, b2, b3, c1, c2, c3 is the second linked list, merging at node c1.

Problem approach

First I suggested the brute force approach in which we check each element of the first linked list with each element of another linked list and then moved on to the better-optimized solution using linked list traversal based on the difference of lengths of both linked lists.

AppleFacebookExpedia Group

You are given an Integer ‘N’ you have to convert the integer to words.

For example you are given integer N = 2234 then you have to return the string “two thousand two hundred and thirty four”.

Problem approach

The solution involved concepts like Hash Maps & arrays. I was asked to write down the complete code after discussing the approach with the interviewer. She read the complete code, ran through a test case and it worked on pen and paper.
