Tip
Tip

Tip 1 : Understand the topic or part of topic which you are reading/mentioning in your resume. Don't just mug up definitions as you will be blank if interviewer ask counter questions.
Tip 2 : Once you think you are ready for that topic, think yourself as interviewer and ask as many as cross questions you can ask to yourself, It will boost your confidence and knowledge as well.
Tip 3 : Do practice daily basis on what you learned and try to solve real life problem.
Tip 4 : At last don't give up, often candidate underestimate themselves and stops hunting for job once they are rejected in 3-4 interview. Take a lesson from those failure and keep making yourself better wherever you are lagging.

Try to do this problem in O(N) time complexity. 
Problem approach

1. To get it done fast first I used to for loop and solved the problem but complexity was O(N'2).
2. So I made a dictionary and stored a number whose minus with given number were availbel in the array. and compared further with dictionary when i add new key

You are given an array of N elements. This array represents the digits of a number. In an operation, you can swap the value at any two indices. Your task is to find the maximum number by using operation at most once.

For Example :

Input array [1,3,2,7] so basically this array represents the number 1327.
All the possible combinations are :
1. [3 1 2 7] get by swapping indices 1 and 2.
2. [2 3 1 7] get by swapping indices 1 and 3.
3. [7 3 2 1] get by swapping indices 1 and 4.
4. [1 2 3 7] get by swapping indices  2 and 3.
5. [1 7 2 3] get by swapping indices 2 and 4.
6. [1 3 7 2] get by swapping indices 3 and 4.
Out of all the possible combinations, 3 give the maximum number as 7321, so we will return [7 3 2 1].

Note :

The input may have 0 before the most significant digit. e.g. [0,3,5,7] is a valid input and this represents number 357.

Coding problem1

Timing was late evening around 7 PM, 
It was managerial round so I did't have much technical questions.

1. Puzzle Question

Ant and ladders > One ant climb the ladder some feet in one day and fell some step down in night, In how many days ant will complete certain length of ladder.

Problem approach

Tip 1 : To solve puzzle you need analyze and understand before jumping to the question .
Tip 2 : Find out the net climbed in one day then divide it with length of ladder
Tip 3 : Just keep if ant is able to reach the length of the ladder before felling down in last day. that is corner case which will make one day difference
