Coding problem1
It was around 2 pm as I choose this time. It was an online interview on teams. 2 people came to interview me. Both were nice as they both were developers for the team I was going to join. They started with asking about myself and technologies that I worked on then started with OOP like they went all in with OOP from basic to pretty much everything I knew. They asked me code on example for abstraction and polymorphism. After that they showed me multiple code snippet and asked the output or weather will it give output or will it give error. Then they asked about database and gave me a problem on second highest salary. Then finally a ds problem.
