This was an on-campus opportunity. The company visited our campus and we directly applied through their portal. Shortlisting was done on the basis of resumes and then further interview rounds were carried out.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
My basic concepts of all the topics were not clear and I also not prepared HR questions through mock interviews.

You are given a string 'STR' of length 'N' consisting of lowercase English Alphabet letters. Your task is to return the count of minimum characters to be added to make the string a palindrome.

You can add any number of characters at any positions in the string like in the beginning, or between two characters of the string or at the end of the string.

For example:

For the given string “deed”, the string is already a palindrome, thus, minimum characters needed to be added are 0. 

Similarly, for the given string “abb”, the minimum characters needed is 1 i.e. ‘a’ which is to be added to the end of the string,  which makes the string “abba”, which is a palindrome.

Given a binary tree of N nodes and a node of this tree, you need to return a list containing the values of the cousins of the given node in the given binary tree sorted by non-decreasing order of their values.

Note:
Two nodes of a binary tree are cousins if they have the same depth or level, but have different parents.

No two nodes in the given binary tree will have the same data values.

Given a binary tree, convert this binary tree into its mirror tree.

A binary tree is a tree in which each parent node has at most two children.

Mirror of a Tree: Mirror of a Binary Tree T is another Binary Tree M(T) with left and right children of all non-leaf nodes interchanged.

Note:
1. Make in-place changes, that is, modify the nodes given a binary tree to get the required mirror tree.

You are given an array 'ARR' consisting of 'N' integers. You need to rearrange the array elements such that all negative numbers appear before all positive numbers.

Note:
The order of elements in the resulting array is not important.
Example:
Let the array be [1, 2, -3, 4, -4, -5]. On rearranging the array such that all negative numbers appear before all positive numbers we get the resulting array [-3, -5, -4, 2, 4, 1].
