Coding problem1
Timing was around 6 pm in the evening, Interviewer was friendly enough to make me feel good. He started off with one problem on data structures. I solved that with in 20 mins. Then he asked me a problem on low level design.
The exact problem was to design a Database schema for Coronavirus tracking. After writing the basic table structures, he came up with some followup questions like querying the scheme prepared.
In Last, he ended up with some questions for the company and best wishes.
1. Maximum Subarray Sum
Moderate
0/80
Asked in companies
You are given an array/list ARR consisting of N integers. Your task is to find the maximum possible sum of a non-empty subarray(contagious) of this array.
Note: An array C is a subarray of array D if it can be obtained by deletion of several elements(possibly zero) from the beginning and the end of array D.
For e.g.- All the non-empty subarrays of array [1,2,3] are [1], [2], [3], [1,2], [2,3], [1,2,3].
Problem approach
I had already done this problem in past so i gave him a O(n^2) approach first.
But later, when he asked for optimisation, i gave him the proper Kadane's algorithm approach.
