Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I always dreamed of being a Software Developer, so I started to get into that line of learning. I learned DSA and web Development to build my resume, an attractive resume. I applied to the Apple SDE intern in my third year of graduation, and getting an intern profile to write in your resume is a must.
Application story
I got to know that Samsung was hiring an SDE intern when I was in the third year of my graduation. I applied through Internshala and received a mail from them that I was assigned an assessment test. I passed that test, and then the interview process started and at last, I was selected for that role.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I think I had the appropriate skills and a good amount of knowledge to prove that I was the right man for the post. I also solved coding questions in an optimal manner.

Ninja is a boy who lives in ninjaland. Every day, during the morning he gets 1 coin from his mother. He wants to buy exactly ‘N’ candies. Each of the candies cost 2 coins usually and 1 coin if it is on sale. Ninja has to buy exactly K[i] candies of the i-th type(he buys candies in the evening).
Ninjas can buy any(possibly zero) number of candies of any type during any day(if he has enough money to do it). If the candy is on sale he can buy it for 1 coin and otherwise he has to buy it for 2 coins.
There are ‘M’ special offers in the candy shop. The j-th offer (D[j], C[j]) means that candies of the C[j]-th type are on sale during the D[j]-th day.
Ninja wants to buy all candies as soon as possible. Your task is to calculate the minimum day when he can buy all the candies.
