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
Ninja is feeling very bored and wants to try something new. So, he decides to find the reverse of a given number. But he cannot do it on his own and needs your help.
Note:
If a number has trailing zeros, then its reverse will not include them. For e.g., the reverse of 10400 will be 401 instead of 00401.
Problem approach
#include
int main()
{
//Initialization of variables where rev='reverse=0'
int number, rev = 0,store, left;
//input a numbers for user
printf("Enter the number\n");
scanf("%d", &number);
store= number;
//use this loop for check true condition
while (number > 0)
{
//left is for remider are left
left= number%10;
//for reverse of no.
rev = rev * 10 + left;
//number /= 10;
number=number/10;
}
//To show the user value
printf("Given number = %d\n",store);
//after reverse show numbers
printf("Its reverse is = %d\n", rev);
return 0;
