You have been given a grid containing some oranges. Each cell of this grid has one of the three integers values:

  • Value 0 - representing an empty cell.
  • Value 1 - representing a fresh orange.
  • Value 2 - representing a rotten orange.
  • Every second, any fresh orange that is adjacent(4-directionally) to a rotten orange becomes rotten.

    Your task is to find out the minimum time after which no cell has a fresh orange. If it's impossible to rot all the fresh oranges then print -1.

    Note:
    1. The grid has 0-based indexing.
    2. A rotten orange can affect the adjacent oranges 4 directionally i.e. Up, Down, Left, Right.

    Given a string ‘STR’ which consists of uppercase and lowercase characters and spaces. Count the number of consonants in the string.

    A consonant is an English alphabet character that is not vowel (a, e, i, o, and u). Examples of constants are b, c, d, f, etc.

    Example :

    Given string 'STR' : ‘Coding Ninjas’ there are 8 consonants i.e ‘C’,’d’,’n’,’g’,’N’,’n’,’j’,’s’, because these characters do not belong to set above mentioned set of vowels.

    Coding problem1

    This is a cultural fitment testing round. HR was very frank and asked standard questions.

    1. Basic HR Questions

    1) Tell me about yourself
    2) What are your hobbies?
    3) Asked about my extra-curricular and co-curricular activities.
    4) What do you know about the company?
    5) Asked about relocation.
    6) Do you have any questions for us?

    Problem approach

    Tip 1 : The cross-questioning can go intense sometimes, think before you speak.


    Tip 2 : Be open-minded and answer whatever you are thinking, in these rounds, I feel it is important to have an opinion.
     

    Tip 3 : The context of questions can be switched, pay attention to the details. It is okay to ask questions in these rounds, like what are the projects currently the company is investing, which team you are mentoring, how is the work environment etc.
