Interview preparation journey

Journey
I started learning DSA in college after the end of the first year. I first applied to Flipkart Runway program in my second year of college. At that time I wasn't fully prepared for the interview but I was able to answer the DSA questions but not with the best time complexity. I wasn't selected for the runway internship in second year but based on my interview I was given another chance for a third year internship at Flipkart. Then I was much better prepared and finally got the internship.
Application story
I applied towards the end of my 2nd year for the Flipkart runway program on dare2compete (now unstop) I didn't qualify for internship in my 2nd year but based on my interview, I got another interview opportunity for 3rd year internship and was selected.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was finally selected because I had better preparation than before and had practiced a lot of dsa questions on leetcode from all topics. I wish I had started preparing sooner though.

You are given an undirected graph 'EDGE_LIST' of ‘N’ nodes and ‘M’ edges. Your task is to return any Euler path of the graph. If no Euler path exists then you need to return -1.

Note :
An Euler path is a path in a graph such that every edge must be visited exactly once. You can visit the same vertex multiple times.

Given a singly linked list of integers. Your task is to return the head of the reversed linked list.

For example:
The given linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4-> NULL. Then the reverse linked list is 4 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> NULL and the head of the reversed linked list will be 4.
Follow Up :
Can you solve this problem in O(N) time and O(1) space complexity?
Problem approach

I first solved this using a stack. Then I optimized it and used 2 pointer approach.

This interview was in the evening. Again the interviewer was friendly and after a brief introduction he asked me 2 DSA questions

1. Find All Triplets With Zero Sum

You are given an array Arr consisting of n integers, you need to find all the distinct triplets present in the array which adds up to zero.

An array is said to have a triplet {arr[i], arr[j], arr[k]} with 0 sum if there exists three indices i, j and k such that i!=j, j!=k and i!=k and arr[i] + arr[j] + arr[k] = 0.

Note :
1. You can return the list of values in any order. For example, if a valid triplet is {1, 2, -3}, then (2, -3, 1), (-3, 2, 1) etc is also valid triplet. Also, the ordering of different triplets can be random i.e if there are more than one valid triplets, you can return them in any order.
2. The elements in the array need not be distinct.
3. If no such triplet is present in the array, then return an empty list, and the output printed for such a test case will be "-1".

2. Container with Most Water

Given a sequence of ‘N’ space-separated non-negative integers A[1],A[2],A[3],......A[i]…...A[n]. Where each number of the sequence represents the height of the line drawn at point 'i'. Hence on the cartesian plane, each line is drawn from coordinate ('i',0) to coordinate ('i', 'A[i]'), here ‘i’ ranges from 1 to ‘N’. Find two lines, which, together with the x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most area of water.

Note :
1. You can not slant the container i.e. the height of the water is equal to the minimum height of the two lines which define the container.

2. Do not print anything, you just need to return the area of the container with maximum water.
Example

water-diagram

For the above Diagram, the first red marked line is formed between coordinates (2,0) and (2,10), and the second red-marked line is formed between coordinates (5,0) and (5,9). The area of water contained between these two lines is (height* width) = (5-2)* 9 = 27, which is the maximum area contained between any two lines present on the plane. So in this case, we will return 3* 9=27.
