This test took place at my college premises it self in the morning. Test was of 90 minutes and it consists of three section Quants, English and Logical Reasoning.

1. Nth Fibonacci Number

Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
IBMSAP LabsAccenture

The n-th term of Fibonacci series F(n), where F(n) is a function, is calculated using the following formula -

    F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2), 
    Where, F(1) = 1, F(2) = 1


Provided 'n' you have to find out the n-th Fibonacci Number. Handle edges cases like when 'n' = 1 or 'n' = 2 by using conditionals like if else and return what's expected.

"Indexing is start from 1"


Example :
Input: 6

Output: 8

Explanation: The number is ‘6’ so we have to find the “6th” Fibonacci number.
So by using the given formula of the Fibonacci series, we get the series:    
[ 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21]
So the “6th” element is “8” hence we get the output.

This round also took place at my college premises. It was a technical round, the interviewer asked me about my projects and also asked one coding question.

1. String Palindrome

Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
Paytm (One97 Communications Limited)CIS - Cyber InfrastructureInnovaccer

Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters.

Palindrome
A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequences of characters which read the same backwards and forwards.
Example:
If the input string happens to be, "malayalam" then as we see that this word can be read the same as forward and backwards, it is said to be a valid palindrome.

The expected output for this example will print, 'true'.

From that being said, you are required to return a boolean value from the function that has been asked to implement.

Again this was an easy question I took less than a minute to think and then wrote the code directly. Interviewer asked me to explain the code. I explained it well.
