This round was scheduled in the evening hours around 7pm at Hackerrank platform and all the participants were required to fill a form which was shared 2 days prior to the test date. This form was filled out probably for the security reasons and to ensure that no one disinterested participant gives the test.

This round was conducted on Zoom platform. I was shared the invitation link one day prior to the interview and also was told the name of my interviewer. I looked at the profile of the interviewer at linked.in and got a better understanding of what kind of person he was and prepared accordingly. The round was scheduled at 3 :00 pm on 20th August and I was eagerly waiting for the clock hands to reach 3 o'clock since morning and finally I went in front of him after wearing a white shirt and a black coat over it along with a tie over it.

You have been given an array of integers 'ARR' and an integer ‘K’. You need to find the first negative integer in each window of size ‘K’.

Note :
If a window does not contain a negative integer, then print 0 for that window.
For example :
If N = 9, arr[ ] = {-10, 20, -30, -40, 50, 60, -70, 80, 90} and K = 3

then the output will be
{-10 -30 -30 -40 -70 -70 -70}
