Journey
Salesforce was always my dream company and a great place to work .So It was a great moment for me and It was mostly around standard interview process ds-algo + system design + projects and past work .I prepared hard not specific for any company .
Application story
Got the opportunity via a friend referral. I was called by HR for a basic intro about me and my past work. He was okay with it, and it was aligned with my job requirement. So he described the further interview process in three rounds: 1 DS algo, one design, and one managerial.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was able to clear all three rounds successfully, and they went smoothly for me. The interviewers were very polite, and with all the questions, I could give the optimized solution with the right approach. They were satisfied.

You are given an integer array 'ARR' of size 'N' and an integer 'S'. Your task is to return the list of all pairs of elements such that each sum of elements of each pair equals 'S'.

Note:

Each pair should be sorted i.e the first value should be less than or equals to the second value. 

Return the list of pairs sorted in non-decreasing order of their first value. In case if two pairs have the same first value, the pair with a smaller second value should come first.
Problem approach

I purposed from brute force to best approach this is 2 pointers
hasArrayTwoCandidates (A[], ar_size, sum)
Sort the array in non-decreasing order.
Initialize two index variables to find the candidate 
elements in the sorted array. 
Initialize first to the leftmost index: l = 0
Initialize second the rightmost index: r = ar_size-1
Loop while l < r. 
If (A[l] + A[r] == sum) then return 1
Else if( A[l] + A[r] < sum ) then l++
Else r–
No candidates in the whole array – return 0

You are given a 2D board('N' rows and 'M' columns) of characters and a string 'word'.


Your task is to return true if the given word exists in the grid, else return false. The word can be constructed from letters of sequentially adjacent cells, where adjacent cells are horizontally or vertically neighboring.


Note:
The same letter cell should not be used more than once.
For Example:
For a given word “design” and the given 2D board 
[[q’, ‘v’, ‘m’, ‘h’],
 [‘d’, ‘e’, ‘s’, ‘i’],
 [‘d’, ‘g’, ‘f’, ‘g’],
 [‘e’, ‘c’, ‘p’, ‘n’]]

The word design can be formed by sequentially adjacent cells as shown by the highlighted color in the 2nd row and last column.
