Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I started my coding journey from the second year of graduation. I asked and consulted seniors on how to start in my coding journey. I started with DSA first. I was not consistent initially, but in my seventh semester, I started practising DSA on a regular basis. I maintained a streak of 10-15 questions daily. In my last semester, I learnt web development and did some projects as well that helped me enhance my resume. Finally, I was ready to apply in different companies for placements.
Application story
This company visited our campus for placement. It first did the shortlisting based on resume and CGPA. After that, an online assessment was conducted, and on that basis, 20 candidates were shortlisted for further rounds.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
gave correct and optimized solutions for almost all the questions that were asked in the coding rounds. I also built the optimal solution starting from the brute force algorithm which also added to my points. Communication is the key to selection.

Asked in companies
You are given an integer ‘N’, your task is to find and return the N’th Fibonacci number using matrix exponentiation.
Since the answer can be very large, return the answer modulo 10^9 +7.
Fibonacci number is calculated using the following formula:
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2),
Where, F(1) = F(2) = 1.
For Example:
For ‘N’ = 5, the output will be 5.
