1. Reverse of a number
Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
Write a program to generate the reverse of a given number N. Print the corresponding reverse number.
Note : If a number has trailing zeros, then its reverse will not include them. For e.g., reverse of 10400 will be 401 instead of 00401.
Problem approach
We can do it using recursion.
2. Middle Of Linked List
Easy
20m average time
80% success
0/40
Asked in companies
Given a singly linked list of 'N' nodes. The objective is to determine the middle node of a singly linked list. However, if the list has an even number of nodes, we return the second middle node.
Note:
1. If the list is empty, the function immediately returns None because there is no middle node to find.
2. If the list has only one node, then the only node in the list is trivially the middle node, and the function returns that node.
Problem approach
I used two pointers approach for this question.
3. Technical questions
1. Oops concepts
2. Polymorphism - types of polymorphism
3. Sql query to find maximum salary
4. Sql query to find second highest salary
5. Ongoing/Current Projects
6. Reverse a number without using any loop ( recursion )
7. Arrays vs linked list
8. Sorting
9. Binary search
Problem approach
Tip 1: read everything before appearing any interview.
Tip 2: if by chance don't know the correct answer or in confusion, always ask your interviewer for a hint.
Tip 3: never response with wrong answer and do argument with the same.
