Interview preparation journey

Journey
My journey began with a passion for solving problems and creating solutions through technology. I started by learning programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and soon discovered my love for web development. I took on projects that challenged me to learn new skills, from building dynamic websites to creating interactive applications. As I gained experience, I expanded my knowledge to include backend development, databases, and API integration. I collaborated with teams to create robust software systems that met the needs of clients and end-users. Along the way, I learned the importance of communication, teamwork, and continuous learning. Today, I continue to push the boundaries of technology and strive to create meaningful, impactful software solutions.
Application story
I applied through on-campus placement portal. Around 800 students have applied from Computer Science and Electronics and Communication branches.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I feel I was selected because I was confident about the topics I mentioned in my resume and had very string fundamentals about the profile. Also I had done a computer vision intern which added a lot of weight

Given two arrays ‘ARR’ and ‘BRR’ of size ‘N’ and ‘M’ respectively. Your task is to sort the elements of ‘ARR’ in such a way that the relative order among the elements will be the same as those are in ‘BRR’. For the elements not present in ‘BRR’, append them in the last in sorted order.

For example

Consider the arrays as ARR = { 9, 5, 8, 4, 6, 5 } and BRR = { 8, 4, 5 }
The output for the above example  is { 8, 4, 5, 5, 6, 9 }.

Note:

Elements of ‘BRR’ are non repeating.

You are going to study at Coding Ninja Institute. There are ‘N’ courses in this institute with some dependencies. You have been given a ‘DEPENDENCIES’ array/list of size ‘M’ where ‘DEPENDENCIES[i]’ is equal to [‘Xi’, ‘Yi’] representing that the course ‘Xi’ must be taken before the course ‘Yi’.

In one semester, you can take at most ‘K’ courses. So, you have to find the minimum number of semesters he takes all the courses.

Note: It is guaranteed that you can take all the courses in some way.

For example:

Let‘N’ = 3 , ‘K’ = 1 and ‘DEPENDENCIES’ = [ [1, 2] [2, 3] ].

In this example, if you want to take ‘COURSE_3’ then first you have to take ‘COURSE_2’ in the previous semester. If you want to take ‘COURSE_2’, then first you have to take ‘COURSE_1’ in the previous semester.
The value of ‘K’ is 1 which means in a semester we can choose at most 1 course.

3. Justify Text

Given a sentence(in the form of an array of words), and an integer ‘L’, return an array of strings i.e a paragraph such that each line has exactly ‘L’ characters, and is left and right justified.

Justification of text means that space is added between words so that both edges of each line are aligned with both margins. The last line in the paragraph is aligned left.

One needs to add the maximum number of words in a line such that the number of lines is minimised.

We can add whitespaces in a line so that each line has exactly the same number of characters i.e L.

If the number of spaces on a line does not divide evenly between words, the empty slots on the left will be assigned more spaces than the slots on the right.

For the last line of text, it should be left justified and no extra space is inserted between words.

For example:
Let the given sentence be: [ “what”, “must”, “be”, “shall”, “be.”]
And L=12.

The justified output will be :

[ “what must be”
“Shall be.”       ]

Note that the last line is only left justified.

You have been given a matrix of ‘N’ rows and ‘M’ columns filled up with integers. Find the minimum sum that can be obtained from a path which from cell (x,y) and ends at the top left corner (1,1).

From any cell in a row, we can move to the right, down or the down right diagonal cell. So from a particular cell (row, col), we can move to the following three cells:

Down: (row+1,col)
Right: (row, col+1)
Down right diagonal: (row+1, col+1)
