Journey
I started preparing fundamental data structures and solved a few questions daily. It led me to learn something new daily and my problem-solving skills improved. This helped me to crack my interview at Bosch with ease. Remember consistency is the key.
Application story
I applied on the campus placement portal. The first round was resume shortlisting which I cleared successfully. The second round was an online test which I cleared. The third round was a technical interview and following that I had an HR interview.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected due to my good performance on the online test as well as the interview. Be confident in your interviews. Also, I explained well all the projects that I mentioned in my resume.

You have been given an array “ARR” of integers and an integer ‘K’. Your task is to find a pair of distinct indices ‘i’ and ‘j’ such that ARR[i] == ARR[j] and | i - j | <= ‘K’.

Problem approach

I first made a set. As we know set only contains distinct elements, so when I got set.add(n) == false I returned true. It was quite an easy question.

You're given a string 'S' consisting of "{", "}", "(", ")", "[" and "]" .


Return true if the given string 'S' is balanced, else return false.


For example:
'S' = "{}()".

There is always an opening brace before a closing brace i.e. '{' before '}', '(' before ').
So the 'S' is Balanced.
Problem approach

This is a very common question. First, I made a stack and looped that string if I found '(', '{' or '[' I pushed them into the stack and I encountered the opposite I checked the peek ok stack.

Given an unsorted array of integers, you have to move the array elements in a way such that all the zeroes are transferred to the end, and all the non-zero elements are moved to the front. The non-zero elements must be ordered in their order of appearance.

For example, if the input array is: [0, 1, -2, 3, 4, 0, 5, -27, 9, 0], then the output array must be:

[1, -2, 3, 4, 5, -27, 9, 0, 0, 0].

Expected Complexity: Try doing it in O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity. Here, ‘n’ is the size of the array.

Problem approach

I made an index variable that had 0 at the beginning, then I started a loop on the array, and if I found a non-zero element I swapped it with the num[index] and incremented the index.
