Journey
I was always interested to see myself as a software developer so when the campus placement came I saw a number of IT companies coming to our college. we were trained in C,C++ and Python from the second year and we have participated and won many hackathons throughout our time in college. We sat for the placement drive and I got the offer from an Indian multinational company called Mphasis.
Application story
It was a on campus placement so I applied through a Google form sent by my college placement team. The first round we had a online screening test at Hackerrank. The online test consisted of MCQ question based on OOPS concepts and 2 coding questions and we were allowed to use C, c++, python and Java. There were 10 test cases. Then few people were shortlisted and the second round was Group Discussion round. So we were given a topic and expected to give our views on it. The third round was technical interview and it lasted for around 1 hr and we were asked to solve a coding question by presenting our screen. The follow are the concepts where questions were raised.
DATA TYPES IN PYTHON
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TUPLE AND DICTIONARY
HOW TO OVERCOME MULTIPLE INHERITANCE
HOW TO RESOLVE MULTIPLE INHERITANCE
WHAT IS MONKEY PATCHING AND CODING EXAMPLE
WHAT IS ENCAPSULATION
WRITE A PROGRAM USING CLASS AND OBJECT
WHAT IS CONSTRUCTOR
Questions in C
Pointers, arrays
memory management

1. Sort Array

Asked in companies
You are given an array consisting of 'N' positive integers where each integer is either 0 or 1 or 2. Your task is to sort the given array in non-decreasing order.
Note :
1. The array consists of only 3 distinct integers 0, 1, 2.
2. The array is non-empty.
Problem approach
The program starts by declaring an integer arraya of size 100 and variables n (for the size of the array), i and j (for loop iteration), and temp (to store temporary values during sorting).
The user is prompted to enter the size of the array, which is stored in the variable n. The program then uses a for loop to prompt the user to enter values for each element in the array, which are stored in the array a.
The program then uses nested for loops to iterate over each element in the array a and compare it with every other element in the array. If an element is greater than the element it is being compared to, the two elements are swapped. This process continues until the entire array is sorted in ascending order.
Finally, the program prints the sorted array using another for loop.
2. Debugging Question
In the below snippet code, Is m1() correctly overridden in the subclasses of class X?
public class One
{
void m1()
{
}
}
public class Two extends One
{
@Override
protected void m1()
{
System.out.println("m1-Two");
}
}
public class Three extends Two
{
@Override
public void m1()
{
System.out.println("m1-Three");
}
}
Ans: Yes
Problem approach
m1() method is correctly overridden in the subclasses of class X.

Coding problem1
The interview was on Google meet and lasted for 1 hour
1. What will be the output of the following program?
package overridingPrograms;
public class X
{
void draw(int a, float b) throws Throwable
{
System.out.println("Circle");
}
}
public class Y extends X
{
@Override
void draw(int a, float b)
{
System.out.println("Rectangle");
}
}
public class Z extends Y
{
@Override
void draw(int a, float b) throws ArithmeticException
{
System.out.println("Square");
}
}
public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable
{
X x = new Y();
x.draw(20, 30.5f);
Y y = (Y)x;
y.draw(10,2.9f);
Z z = (Z)y;
z.draw(20, 30f);
}
}
Problem approach
x.draw(20,30.5f); will call draw method of class Y because the reference variable is pointing to the objects of class Y. Therefore, the output is “Rectangle”.
2. When the statement Y y = (Y)x; will be executed, JVM will perform downcasting. When the reference variable of child class refers to the object of a parent class, it is known as downcasting.
Here, the reference variable y is pointing to the reference x of the parent class X but x is pointing to the objects of Class Y. So, y is pointing to the objects of class Y. Therefore, y.draw(10, 2.9f); will call draw method of class Y and the output will be “Rectangle”.
3. When the statement Z z = (Z)y; will be executed, JVM will throw ClassCastException because Y cannot be cast to Z.
