Tip 2 : Focus on basic questions and fundamentals questions more instead of going to advanced DS
Tip 3 : Dont write crap in resume, be confident in what you write.

Basics of CS and 2 DSA

1. Add Two Numbers As Linked Lists

Asked in companies
SprinklrIBMDeutsche Bank

You are given two non-negative numbers 'num1' and 'num2' represented in the form of linked lists.


The digits in the linked lists are stored in reverse order, i.e. starting from least significant digit (LSD) to the most significant digit (MSD), and each of their nodes contains a single digit.


Calculate the sum of the two numbers and return the head of the sum list.


Example :
Input:
'num1' : 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> NULL
'num2' : 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> NULL

Output: 5 -> 7 -> 9 -> NULL

Explanation: 'num1' represents the number 321 and 'num2' represents 654. Their sum is 975.

2. Divide Two Integers

SAP LabsPayPalIntuit

You are given two integers, ‘dividend’ and ‘divisor’.


You are required to divide the integers without using multiplication, division, and modular operators.


Your task is to return the quotient after dividing ‘dividend’ by ‘divisor’.


Note :

In cases where the dividend is not perfectly divisible by the divisor, you are required to return the integer value of the quotient which is closer to zero.

For example - If the answer is '8.34', we return the integer part, i.e., '8'. Also, If the answer is '-2.67', we return the integer part, i.e., '-2'.

Assume we're dealing with a system that can only store integers in the 32-bit signed integer range: [2^31, 2^31-1]. If the quotient is higher than 2^31 - 1, return 2^31 - 1; if it is less than -2^31, return -2^31. 

For example :

If the answer is ‘9.333’, then return ‘9’, or if the answer is ‘-8.123’, then return ‘-8’.

Coding problem1

It was generic with system design questions. SAP usually does not ask System Design Qs to freshers at least but I was asked :( 
But I somehow managed as I had read about those questions, so lucky.

1. Technical design question

How doese LinkedIin connection works.
1st, 2nd, 3rd connections - all those things, how can we implement, what DS and all.
