Journey
I took admission in a not-so-good college, so I knew that I had to work harder to get a good job. I started coding in my third semester, and soon after that, I began doing questions daily on different coding platforms.
Application story
So, my Infosys system engineer interview was scheduled. I got this opportunity through the InfyTQ certification exam. After giving the exam, it took almost 3 to 4 months for my interview to be scheduled, so be patient in this case as well. My interview was conducted on the Microsoft Teams platform, where I was asked to join through a meeting link received on Gmail. The interview started quite late compared to the scheduled time. It might happen to you as well, so be patient and stay in the meeting.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was confident during the full interview process. Actually, I worked a lot on my communication skills, and I think those were the main reasons for me getting through the selection process.

Given an array ARR of N integers and an integer S. The task is to find whether there exists a subarray(positive length) of the given array such that the sum of elements of the subarray equals to S or not. If any subarray is found, return the start and end index (0 based index) of the subarray. Otherwise, consider both the START and END indexes as -1.

Note:

If two or more such subarrays exist, return any subarray.

For Example: If the given array is [1,2,3,4] and the value of S is equal to 7. Then there are two possible subarrays having sums equal to S are [1,2,3] and [3,4].

Problem approach

Given an unsorted array A of size N that contains only positive integers, find a continuous sub-array that adds to a given number S and return the left and right index(1-based indexing) of that subarray.

You have been given an array/list of strings 'inputStr'. You are supposed to return the strings as groups of anagrams such that strings belonging to a particular group are anagrams of one another.

An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase. We can generalize this in string processing by saying that an anagram of a string is another string with the same quantity of each character in it, in any order.

Note:
The order in which the groups and members of the groups are printed does not matter.
For example:
inputStr = {"eat","tea","tan","ate","nat","bat"}
Here {“tea”, “ate”,” eat”} and {“nat”, “tan”} are grouped as anagrams. Since there is no such string in “inputStr” which can be an anagram of “bat”, thus, “bat” will be the only member in its group.
Problem approach

I first applied a loop through input 1. If the value at input 1 isn't present at input 2 then the count is increased. Do the same for input2. Print count

You live in a Ninja town which is in the form of a N * M grid. In this town, people travel from one place to another by jumping over the buildings which are present in each cell of the grid. It is Christmas eve, and Santa wants to give gifts and chocolates to the kids who live in the building which is present at the cell (N - 1, M - 1). Initially, Santa is present on cell (0, 0). Since Santa is in a hurry, help him find a path from starting point to the endpoint with the least amount of time.

The Santa may go only from one building to any of its adjacent buildings which is present either to the right or to the bottom or bottom right cell i.e. if the current position is (x, y), he may go to (x + 1, y + 1) or (x + 1, y) or (x, y + 1) given that the new coordinates are in the grid. The time taken to reach from one building to another is equal to the absolute difference between the heights of buildings.

Note:

1. The heights of the buildings are positive.
2. Santa starts from the cell (0, 0) and he has to reach the building (N - 1, M - 1).
3. Santa cannot leave the grid at any point of time.
Problem approach

Given an array of N integers arr[] where each element represents the maximum length of the jump that can be made forward from that element. This means if arr[i] = x, then we can jump any distance y such that y ≤ x.
Find the minimum number of jumps to reach the end of the array (starting from the first element). If an element is 0, then you cannot move through that element.

You're given a string 'S' consisting of "{", "}", "(", ")", "[" and "]" .


Return true if the given string 'S' is balanced, else return false.


For example:
'S' = "{}()".

There is always an opening brace before a closing brace i.e. '{' before '}', '(' before ').
So the 'S' is Balanced.
Problem approach

Add the brackets in a stack. Pop the stack and verify that the brackets are balanced.
