Interview preparation journey

Journey
I prepared for 3 months using coding platforms to solve over 50+ problems. I did multiple internships and have a good command over the MERN Stack. The lockdown helped me a lot to polish my skills in a short duration because I invested a lot of time and got a lot of practice.
Application story
The application link was shared by the college recruitment cell, so I applied via that. Later, the results and communication were also handled by the college itself. After I got selected for the role, JTG started communicating with me.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I explained the problem with a unique approach and kept talking about the small details in which I was writing the code. I also tried to lose some tension with small talk and jokes.

You are the owner of a Shipment company. You use conveyor belts to ship packages from one port to another. The packages must be shipped within 'd' days.


The weights of the packages are given in an array 'weights'. The packages are loaded on the conveyor belts every day in the same order as they appear in the array. The loaded weights must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the ship.


Find out the least-weight capacity so that you can ship all the packages within 'd' days.

Problem approach

I explained how infinite optimisation is achieved via Binary search and then implemented the solution
