Journey
During my school years, I wasn't very aware of coding. However, upon entering college, my interest in coding increased significantly. From there, I began learning and practicing DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) through various coding platforms. After two years of hard work, I finally interviewed for an SDE (Software Development Engineer) role, in which DSA played a crucial role in helping me clear both the Online Assessment and Interview Rounds.
Application story
I applied for this role when I got to know that there was an on-campus hiring for the SDE Role. So I applied for the same and after that one coding Round and two Interview rounds were scheduled.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected because I was good at problem-solving, had a good knowledge of data structure and algorithms, good knowledge of DBMS and SQL Query.

You are given two strings of equal lengths, s1 and s2. The task is to check if s2 is a rotated version of the string s1.

Problem approach

Step 1: I first applied a brute force approach in which every time rotating the second string by one place and compared it with the first string but It was not good enough,
Step 2: I applied an optimized approach.

Thought WorksInfo Edge India (Naukri.com)HCL Technologies

Given an array A of N elements. Find the majority element in the array. A majority element in an array A of size N is an element that appears strictly more than N/2 times in the array.

Problem approach

Step 1: I applied the brute force approach for each element of the array, I counted total occurrence by comparing it with all numbers in the array if it's greater than N/2 then that will be the majority element, This will lack in time complexity
Step 2: I optimized my approach by using the hash approach.

HSBCSalesforceDeutsche Bank

You are given a positive integer ‘N’. Your task is to print all prime numbers less than or equal to N.

Note: A prime number is a natural number that is divisible only by 1 and itself. Example - 2, 3, 17, etc.

You can assume that the value of N will always be greater than 1. So, the answer will always exist.

Problem approach

Step 1: I explain the naive approach to checking the prime number (only 1 or the number itself can divide)
Step 2: I used the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to find the total price factor of this number, if it has only one prime number then it will be a prime number.
