Selected Interview preparation journey
Preparation
Duration: 2 months
Topics: The top topics are 1 Dsa: Array , strings , Binary search , Sorting , searching problems from Geeksforgeeks (All problems which i pratice are of easy level and medium level) and all OOPS Concept .2.
Tip 1 : Lets Go with Dsa , Practice at least 20 question of all topics like array , string , searching sorting , tree in any online coding platform , the best is to start from geeksforgeeks ranging from easy level to medium level question. Make sure your theoratical concepts are clear before coding . OOPS concepts are very important , he grilled me 15 minutes on oops concepts
Tip 2 : Make at least 1 major Project and 1 minor Project and don't fake technologies because the interviewer is going to ask all questions from the projects (why u have used this technology or frame works , some basics and intermediate questions and some behaviorial questions like how u met the deadline, how did u divide the work in team if it's a team project ) and if possible if u have deployed ur project on github its better to provide a link of ur projects in resume
Tip 3 : The interview is here to hire u not to reject u , nobody is perfect , so he/she is searching for a never giving up attitude , he/she will grill u giving some advanced questions , don't direct say no , i cant solve this question . take ur time , think about various approaches and think loudly , so that he/she can help u , i had the same scenario but i kept on giving various approaches and after 5 mins of brainstorming , he gave me a hint and i come with a better solution . I was not able to answer 3-4 questions still gets selected. So aleways keep a positive and never giving up attitude

1. Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array
Easy
15m average time
85% success
0/40
Asked in companies
You are given a sorted integer array 'arr' of size 'n'.
You need to remove the duplicates from the array such that each element appears only once.
Return the length of this new array.
Note:
Do not allocate extra space for another array. You need to do this by modifying the given input array in place with O(1) extra memory.
For example:
'n' = 5, 'arr' = [1 2 2 2 3].
The new array will be [1 2 3].
So our answer is 3.
Problem approach
First i presented the solution using extra Space (Always Start from a worst time complexity )
Step 1: I take an auxiliary array temp[] to store unique elements.
Step 2:I traversed input array and one by one copy unique elements of arr[] to temp[]. and also keep track of count of unique elements. Let this count be j.
Step 3: and lastly i copied j elements from temp[] to arr[] and return j.
the interviewer smiling said can u further optimise it and i said sure ...
Time Complexity : o(n)
Space Complexity : o(n)
Method 2:
Time Complexity : o(n)
Space Complexity : o(1)
(Constant extra space)
I just maintained a separate index for same array as maintained for different array in Method 1.
