Coding problem1

It was online Coding Round. We were given three questions. Two were from graphs, and one was a DP Question. The DP question turned out had wrong solution (the test cases weren't passing. So that was removed from consideration)

You have been given a binary tree with an integer value associated to each node. You are supposed to choose a subset of these nodes such that the sum of these chosen nodes is maximum. Keep in mind that no two of the chosen nodes must be adjacent to each other.

Note :
Two nodes are said to be adjacent to each other if they are directly connected to each other. This means that if a node is taken as part of the sum, then none of its children can be considered for the same and vice versa.
For example :
For the given binary tree

Example

Nodes used in consideration for maximum sum such that no two of them are adjacent are highlighted. Maximum sum of nodes = 1 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 5 = 12.
Problem approach

Step 1: Recursively call the sum of next graph node such that it returns the maximum non-adjacent sum by excluding/including the children.
Step 2: Return the sum for both the case, max possible sum after including/excluding the current number. 
Step 3: Repeat until you get the maximum result.

It was a theoretical Round. I was asked questions related to OS, DBMS, COA, Networking etc.

1. Operating System Question

The interviewer asked about Sempahore Problem and Race Conditions.

Problem approach

Tip 1: Be clean and concise with the solution
Tip 2: Explain the answer, before coding. Prefer pseudocoding first then start to write the code. 
Tip 3: If the interviewer starts to give some hint, take that very seriously.

Coding problem1

It was a designing round. I was asked to design a processor that will save us time lost by thrashing.

1. System Design Question

I was asked to design and explain a system that will reduce the time overhead over thrashing.

Problem approach

Tip 1: Make sure you understand the problem statement properly before going ahead with thes solution.
Tip 2: Start designing with the block-structure first then start to deep-dive. 
Tip 3: Make sure you clear with the interviewer the parts of the system clearly and are aware of their functionalities and shortcomings.
