Journey
Started coding when I was in 1st year. I got to know that to get an internship we have to do coding. I started with basic coding and started with hacker rank and gradually increased the difficulty of the problem. After that I moved to leetcode and solved problems on the basis of tags first easy then medium then hard.
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.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was rejected because I was not able to give optimised solutions to the coding problems discussed. I think that was the only reason for not selecting me.

Technical round with 2 questions on DSA.

1. Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock

You are given an array/list 'prices' where the elements of the array represent the prices of the stock as they were yesterday and indices of the array represent minutes. Your task is to find and return the maximum profit you can make by buying and selling the stock. You can buy and sell the stock only once.

Note:

You can’t sell without buying first.
For Example:
For the given array [ 2, 100, 150, 120],
The maximum profit can be achieved by buying the stock at minute 0 when its price is Rs. 2 and selling it at minute 2 when its price is Rs. 150.
So, the output will be 148.
Problem approach

We will check all the possible ways of buying and selling stocks. We will fix the time we are buying the stock and check all the possible minutes we can sell this stock and update the maximum profit we can get. Now we will take the maximum profit for all the possible buying time and that would be our final maximum profit.

AmazonSchlumbergerZoho Corporation

Given a 2-dimensional matrix of size ‘N’ x ‘M’, rotate the elements of the matrix clockwise.

For example: 
Input Matrix: [ [ 1, 2, 3 ] 
                [ 4, 5, 6 ] 
                [ 7, 8, 9 ] ]

Output Matrix: [ [ 4, 1, 2 ] 
                 [ 7, 5, 3 ] 
                 [ 8, 9, 6 ] ]

The output matrix is generated by rotating the elements of the input matrix in a clockwise direction. Note that every element is rotated only once. 
Note :
You do not need to print anything; it has already been taken care of. Also, update the given matrix in-place.
Problem approach

The idea is to consider the matrix in the form of rings and then rotate each ring recursively. One ring will be rotated in one recursive call.
