DelhiveryInfo Edge India (Naukri.com)IBM

You have been given an array/list 'arr' consisting of 'n' elements.


Each element in the array is either 0, 1 or 2.


Sort this array/list in increasing order.


Do not make a new array/list. Make changes in the given array/list.


Example :
Input: 'arr' = [2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0]

Output: Final 'arr' = [0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2]

Explanation: The array is sorted in increasing order.

Given a singly linked list of integers. Your task is to return the head of the reversed linked list.

For example:
The given linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4-> NULL. Then the reverse linked list is 4 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> NULL and the head of the reversed linked list will be 4.

Coding problem2

This round was majorly focused on problem solving skills and DSA. Interviewer asked me three DSA questions of medium and hard level. He started with the hard question, he asked me zig-zag binary tree traversal. we discussed the approach than I coded it and explained its Time and space complexity. Than he asked me max sum subarray modified question, I solved it using Kadane algorithm. Than he discussed one of my online assesments question and asked me to further optimize that approach that I used in the online test. Than I optimized that approach and coded that. Than he asked me for any questions and we dropped the call.

You have been given a binary tree of 'N' nodes. Print the Spiral Order traversal of this binary tree.

For example
For the given binary tree [1, 2, 3, -1, -1, 4, 5, -1, -1, -1, -1]
    1
   / \
  2   3
     / \
    4   5

Output: 1 3 2 4 5

Given an array of numbers, find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray of the array.


For example, given the array [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86], the maximum sum would be 137, since we would take elements 42, 14, -5, and 86.


Given the array [-5, -1, -8, -9], the maximum sum would be -1.


Follow up: Do this in O(N) time.

Problem approach

solved it using kadane's algorithm.

Coding problem1

This round was mainly focused on operating systems, DBMS and past projects. we started with the introduction. Interviewer asked me explain a functionality of one of my projects that I wrote in my resume, I done that than he started asking OS and DBMS questions. After that we asked me about any bad experience in my past internship, I told that than he asked for any questions to me and we dropped the call and after 2 days I got HR mail that I'm selected.

1. Operating System based Questions

Questions about scheduling algorithms, dead lock, synchronization etc. were asked.

Here's your problem of the day

Solving this problem will increase your chance to get selected in this company
