Journey
I started my coding journey from the second year of graduation. I asked and consulted seniors on how to start in my career. I started doing DSA. In starting it was not regular but from the seventh semester, I started practicing DSA on regular basis. Meanwhile I also learned Web Development in the last phase of third year. Than, I was ready to apply in different companies
Application story
I was in seventh semester and it was high time for the placement season. Day by day companies were arriving for hiring. I was previously rejected in two companies. I applied in this hiring drive of Coalition Technologies got through the interview process, which was comparatively easier than the previous companies. And at last the offer letter was given.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was confident during the full interview process. Actually, I worked a lot on my communications skills and I think they were the main reasons for me getting par the selection process.

MicrosoftSalesforceAmazon

You have been given a string STR. Your task is to find the total number of palindromic substrings of STR.

Example :
If the input string is "abbc", then all the possible palindromic substrings would be: ["a", "b", "b", c", "bb"] and hence, the output will be 5 since we have 5 substrings in total which form a palindrome.
Note :
A string is said to be a 'Palindrome' if it is read the same forwards and backwards. 
For example, “abba” is a palindrome, but “abbc” is not.

A 'Substring' is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. 
For example, "a", "b", "c", "ab", "bc", "abc" are substrings of "abc".
