Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
It all started in my second year of college when I studied data structures and algorithms. I always knew that it was required for interviews. I found this subject very challenging, but I kept practicing. I started by studying data structures first and their implementations, repeating this process multiple times. Once I gained confidence, I began studying algorithms and their implementations. At that point, I did not start practicing on coding platforms. Once I covered major algorithms, I started practicing. Since then, I have religiously kept practicing until the day of my interview, and what do you know, I found the interview very easy. That's all about my journey. Thank you.
Application story
I was given this opportunity through my college and It was pool placement i.e. multiple colleges were participating in that.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected because my DSA skills were top notch and my computer science fundamentals were up to the mark.

One coding question was posted on the online platform.
1. Minimum Jumps to Reach End of Array
Moderate
15m average time
85% success
0/80
Asked in companies
Given an array arr[] where each element represents the maximum number of steps that can be made forward from that index. The task is to find the minimum number of jumps to reach the end of the array starting from index 0.
Problem approach
Create memo[] such that memo[i] indicates the minimum number of jumps needed to reach memo[n-1] from memo[i] to store previously solved subproblems.
During the recursion call, if the same state is called more than once, then we can directly return the answer stored for that state instead of calculating again.
Otherwise, In each recursive call get all the reachable nodes from that index.
For each of the indexes call the recursive function.
Find the minimum number of jumps to reach the end from the current index.
