Application story
This was an on-campus opportunity. I applied through the college placement cell. The first resume shortlisting was performed. After the online test 15 candidates were selected for interviews.

2. Check If One String Is A Rotation Of Another String
Moderate
15m average time
85% success
0/80
Asked in companies
You are given two Strings 'P' and 'Q' of equal length.
Your task is to return 1 if String 'P' can be converted into String 'Q' by cyclically rotating it to the right any number of times ( Possibly Zero ), else return 0.
A cyclic rotation to the right on String 'A' consists of taking String 'A' and moving the rightmost character to the leftmost position. For example, if 'A' = "pqrst", then it will be "tpqrs" after one cyclic rotation on 'A'.
For example:
Consider the two strings 'P' = "abfyg" and 'Q' = "gabfy"
If we cyclically rotate String 'P' to the right once. The resulting string P becomes "gabfy" which is equal to String 'Q'.
Therefore it is possible to convert String 'P' to String 'Q'.
Problem approach
The idea is to generate all the possible rotations of String P and compare each of them with String Q. To generate the next cyclic rotation of a string P from the current rotation we can move the last character of it to the first position while keeping the other characters unchanged.
