Asked in companies
You have been given an integer array/list 'ARR' of size 'N'. Your task is to return the total number of those subsequences of the array in which all the elements are equal.
A subsequence of a given array is an array generated by deleting some elements of the given array with the order of elements in the subsequence remaining the same as the order of elements in the array.
Note :
As this value might be large, print it modulo 10^9 + 7

Coding problem1
The round took place at around 9:30 in the night, because the interviewers were from US. There were 2 of them, one was a senior software engineer, and other was tech lead.
1. System Design
There was only one system design question asked, and the interview was based entirely around that.
The interviewers presented a UI design to me, which had the following segments: The header, the login/signup/user details, a form and a progress bar whose percentage reflects how many questions the user has answered in the form.
Problem approach
Tip 1 : Have a good grasp over React
Tip 2 : Other than the basic CRA, have knowledge about related tech, like Redux as well. I had used this while designing the architecture, and the interviewers seemed impressed.
Tip 3 : Actually implement react projects. Only after you have implemented a few, you will know how to approach the problems in multiple ways.
