Resume Tip
Resume tip

Tip 1 : Your Resume should consist mainly of skills, projects, and achievements. Projects would play a crucial part in your interview and you should have at least one most relevant and good project that shows how strong your concepts are in development. 
Tip 2 : The most important tip is that never lie on your resume If you have worked upon some technology for the project part only and don't know the proper depth you could write basics only in your resume.

The Interview started with a brief introduction followed by questions on OOPS and DBMS and 1 DSA question

1. OOPS Questions

Explain the concept of inheritance with an example?
What is method overloading?
What is the meaning of method overriding?
.How can data abstraction be accomplished?

Problem approach

Tip 1 : Be clear with the explanation
Tip 2 : if any question requires explanation use the resource that is provided for explaining
Tip 3 : study the most important questions. you can use Codestudio for that

2. DBMS Question

Difference between a Relational and non Relational Database explain their limitations and Advantages

Problem approach

Tip 1 : Be clear with the explanation
Tip 2 : if any question requires explanation use the resource that is provided for explaining
Tip 3 : study the most important questions. you can use Codestudio for that

CIS - Cyber InfrastructureAmazonPhonePe

You are given an array arr of length N. You have to return a list of integers containing the NGE(next greater element) of each element of the given array. The NGE for an element X is the first greater element on the right side of X in the array. Elements for which no greater element exists, consider the NGE as -1.

For Example :

If the given array is [1, 3, 2], then you need to return [3, -1, -1]. Because for 1, 3 is the next greater element, for 3 it does not have any greater number to its right, and similarly for 2.

Design and implement a data structure for Least Recently Used (LRU) cache to support the following operations:

1. get(key) - Return the value of the key if the key exists in the cache, otherwise return -1.

2. put(key, value), Insert the value in the cache if the key is not already present or update the value of the given key if the key is already present. When the cache reaches its capacity, it should invalidate the least recently used item before inserting the new item.
You will be given ‘Q’ queries. Each query will belong to one of these two types:
Type 0: for get(key) operation.
Type 1: for put(key, value) operation.
Note :
1. The cache is initialized with a capacity (the maximum number of unique keys it can hold at a time).

2. Access to an item or key is defined as a get or a put operation on the key. The least recently used key is the one with the oldest access time.
Problem approach

1.The key to solve this problem is using a double linked list which enables us to quickly move nodes.
2.The LRU cache is a hash table of keys and double linked nodes. The hash table makes the time of get() to be O(1). The list of double linked nodes make the nodes adding/removal operations O(1).
