Journey
I started coding in 1st semester and chose C as my first language. Then, after I got a good grip on DSA, I started exploring web development and kept practicing coding problems side by side.
Application story
I applied on-campus, where my resume was shortlisted. After that, I received calls for interview rounds. There were two coding rounds, comprising 2 Coding tests and an HR round.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I got selected because I showed the recruiters I am seeking career growth by learning and aligning my goals with the organization's.

You are given an arbitrary unweighted rooted tree which consists of N nodes, 0 to N - 1. Your task is to find the largest distance between two nodes in the tree.

The distance between two nodes is the number of edges in a path between the nodes (there will always be a unique path between any pair of nodes since it is a tree).

Note :
Use zero-based indexing for the nodes.

The tree is always rooted at 0.

SAP LabsGoldman SachsAcko

You are given a string 'str' of length 'N'.


Your task is to return the longest palindromic substring. If there are multiple strings, return any.


A substring is a contiguous segment of a string.


For example :
str = "ababc"

The longest palindromic substring of "ababc" is "aba", since "aba" is a palindrome and it is the longest substring of length 3 which is a palindrome. 

There is another palindromic substring of length 3 is "bab". Since starting index of "aba" is less than "bab", so "aba" is the answer.

Given an undirected and disconnected graph G(V, E), containing 'V' vertices and 'E' edges, the information about edges is given using 'GRAPH' matrix, where i-th edge is between GRAPH[i][0] and GRAPH[i][1]. print its DFS traversal.

V is the number of vertices present in graph G and vertices are numbered from 0 to V-1. 

E is the number of edges present in graph G.
Note :
The Graph may not be connected i.e there may exist multiple components in a graph.
