Journey
During my campus recruitment process, our college provided us with details about the LTIMindtree hiring opportunity. The selection process began with an initial quiz, which I successfully cleared. This was followed by an interview round, where I was assessed on my technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and overall aptitude. After performing well in both stages, I successfully secured the opportunity. This experience further strengthened my confidence in technical interviews and campus placements.

Why selected/rejected for the role?
I believe I was selected for the role at LTIMindtree due to a combination of my strong technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication. Technical Proficiency – I demonstrated a solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and core programming concepts during the coding assessment and interview. My knowledge of database management, OOP principles, and web development also contributed to my selection. Logical Thinking & Problem-Solving – My ability to analyze problems, optimize solutions, and write efficient code helped me stand out during the technical evaluation. Projects & Practical Experience – I showcased my hands-on experience through projects and internships, explaining how I applied theoretical knowledge to real-world applications. My work with Spring Boot, React, and cloud technologies like Azure added value to my profile. Strong Communication & Confidence – I was able to clearly articulate my thought process, explain my approach to problem-solving, and effectively discuss my projects and experiences, leaving a positive impression. Adaptability & Learning Mindset – My enthusiasm for learning new technologies, including my certifications and ongoing projects, demonstrated my ability to adapt to evolving industry requirements.

Ninja is feeling very bored and wants to try something new. So, he decides to find the reverse of a given number. But he cannot do it on his own and needs your help.

Note:

If a number has trailing zeros, then its reverse will not include them. For e.g., the reverse of 10400 will be 401 instead of 00401.
Problem approach

Repeatedly extract the last digit of n using the modulus operator (n % 10) and append it to the reverse number (revNum). After extracting the digit, the number n is reduced by dividing it by 10 (n = n / 10). This process continues until n becomes 0. Finally, the reversed number (revNum) is returned.

3. Maximum XOR of Two Numbers in an Array

An array ‘A’ of ‘N’ integers is provided. Return the maximum possible number which can be created by taking bitwise XOR of any 2 integers of the array.


Example:
If the array is 2,5 and 6

2 XOR 5 is 7
2 XOR 6 is 4
5 XOR 6 is 3

Hence the answer is 7.
Problem approach

The idea is to generate all possible pairs of elements of the array arr[] and find the maximum among them. To do so, use two nested loops to generate all the pairs and compute the XOR of them. The maximum of all the pairs is the result.

The interview was scheduled to be held online, with the timing from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM. I was asked to join the call via SHL at 3:25 PM sharp. The interviewer was supportive and very professional.

1. Shortest subarray with sum at least K

ApplePayPalPaytm (One97 Communications Limited)

Given an array/list 'ARR' of integers and an integer ‘K’. You are supposed to return the length of the shortest subarray that has a sum greater than or equal to ‘K’. If there is no subarray with a sum greater than or equal to K, then return -1.

Note :
An array ‘B’ is a subarray of an array ‘A’ if ‘B’ that can be obtained by deletion of, several elements(possibly none) from the start of ‘A’ and several elements(possibly none) from the end of ‘A’. 
Problem approach

When I encountered this question during my LTIMindtree interview, I initially thought of using brute force (checking all subarrays), but it would result in O(N²) time complexity, which is inefficient for large inputs. Then, I quickly realized that the Sliding Window technique could optimize the solution.

2. Largest subarray with equal number of 0s and 1s

You are given an array consisting of 0s and 1s. You need to find the length of the largest subarray with an equal number of 0s and 1s.

For example:

If the given array is: [0, 0, 1, 0, 1] The largest subarray would be: [0, 1, 0, 1] (last 4 elements) having length 4.
Problem approach

I realized that by treating 0 as -1, the problem transforms into finding the longest subarray with a sum of 0—which is a classic prefix sum with a hash map problem.
