Interview preparation journey
Journey
I started my journey by learning programming basics and gradually moved to data structures and web development. I focused on PHP, JavaScript, and WordPress concepts, as they are important for rtCamp roles. Initially, applying concepts in real projects was challenging, but with consistent practice and project work, I improved my skills. Although I couldn’t clear the interview, it helped me identify my weak areas, especially in practical implementation and communication. This experience motivated me to work harder and improve further.
Application story
I applied for rtCamp through my college campus placement process. After registering on the placement portal, I was shortlisted for the assessment round, followed by interview rounds for selected candidates. The process was well-organized and conducted smoothly with updates provided by the placement cell.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I believe I was rejected mainly due to gaps in applying concepts to real-world development problems and not being able to clearly explain my approach. While I had a basic understanding of PHP and JavaScript, I need to improve my hands-on experience and practical problem-solving skills.

Asked in companies
You are given a string 'S'. Your task is to check whether the string is palindrome or not. For checking palindrome, consider alphabets and numbers only and ignore the symbols and whitespaces.
Note :
String 'S' is NOT case sensitive.
Example :
Let S = “c1 O$d@eeD o1c”.
If we ignore the special characters, whitespaces and convert all uppercase letters to lowercase, we get S = “c1odeedo1c”, which is a palindrome. Hence, the given string is also a palindrome.
Problem approach
Step 1: I converted the string to lowercase so that case differences do not affect the comparison.
Step 2: I removed all non-alphanumeric characters from the string to ensure only valid characters are considered.
Step 3: I initialized two pointers, one at the beginning (left = 0) and one at the end (right = length - 1).
Step 4: I compared the characters at both pointers. If they were equal, I moved both pointers towards the center. If they were not equal, I returned false.
Step 5: If all characters matched during the traversal, I concluded that the string is a palindrome and returned true.
