Interview preparation journey

Journey
I was interviewed in 2021 and had been practicing for job interviews since the on-campus placements were being conducted. I started with the basics of the programming language (Java), continued with DSA, and progressed towards the projects I completed during my final year.
Application story
I applied for an on-campus position, and my resume was shortlisted. After that, I received calls for interview rounds, which included three coding rounds: two coding tests and one HR round.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected because I demonstrated to the recruiters that I am seeking career growth through learning and aligning my goals with the organization's goals.

Ninja got a map in his hand with ‘N’ cities numbered 0 to ‘N’, connected with bridges. He asks his sister to delete some cities from the map.

He will ask his sister a ‘Q’ query. Each query is denoted by an integer ‘X’, meaning that he will delete the city ‘X’. He wants to see if the new map obtained after deleting the city node will have more connected components than the previous map.

He wants to build the program for the queries given by his sister for the above condition.

Ninja knows that you are a very good programmer and can help him in writing the code for the above. Help Ninja!

Note:

A connected component in the map is the maximum subset of cities that are connected i.e we can go from one city to any other in that subset.

Ninja has been given a program to do basic string compression. For a character that is consecutively repeated more than once, he needs to replace the consecutive duplicate occurrences with the count of repetitions.

Example:

If a string has 'x' repeated 5 times, replace this "xxxxx" with "x5".

The string is compressed only when the repeated character count is more than 1.

Note :

The consecutive count of every character in the input string is less than or equal to 9.
