Journey
I started problem-solving in Java in my first year of college. Being an ECE student, it was difficult for me to grasp core CSE subjects, but I learned them from YouTube and other resources. I also made some projects using the MERN stack.
Application story
I received an email from the college training and placement cell regarding the opportunity. I applied for the position on Nokia's official website. The process consisted of an online assessment with aptitude-based MCQs and two easy to medium-level coding questions. Then there was an interview where I was asked two DSA questions, topics from computer networks, and OOP concepts. I was also asked to discuss my projects in detail.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected for this role because I solved both DSA questions and answered the computer networks questions accurately. Additionally, I explained my projects very well and answered all the questions confidently.

You are given an array ‘arr’ of ‘N’ distinct integers. Your task is to print all the non-empty subsets of the array.

Note: elements inside each subset should be sorted in increasing order. But you can print the subsets in any order, you don’t have to specifically sort them.

The node structure of a binary tree is modified such that each node has the reference to its parent node.

You are given two nodes: ‘N1’ and ‘N2’, of the above binary tree. Your task is to return the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of the given nodes.

Note:

Let ‘TREE’ be a binary tree. The lowest common ancestor of two nodes, ‘N1’ and ‘N2’, is defined as the lowest node in ‘TREE’ with ‘N1’ and ‘N2’ as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).
