Coding problem1
It was a computer-based online test with a webcam connected.
It started at 12 noon.
Total 45 MCQs (Quantitative, Logical, English, Technical)
1. Remove Duplicates From String
Moderate
25m average time
0/80
Asked in companies
You are given a string (STR) of length N, consisting of only the lower case English alphabet.
Your task is to remove all the duplicate occurrences of characters in the string.
For Example:
If the given string is:
abcadeecfb
Then after deleting all duplicate occurrences, the string looks like this:
abcdef
Problem approach
I created a string variable str and initialized an integer count with zero.
With the help of for loop, I performed a comparison between different characters at different indexes.

Coding problem2
It was a technical interview round, where I was required to answer some technical questions along with solving some problems.
1. Second largest element in the array
Easy
15m average time
80% success
0/40
Asked in companies
You have been given an array/list 'ARR' of integers. Your task is to find the second largest element present in the 'ARR'.
Note:
a) Duplicate elements may be present.
b) If no such element is present return -1.
Example:
Input: Given a sequence of five numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 8.
Output: 6
Explanation:
In the given sequence of numbers, number 8 is the largest element, followed by number 6 which is the second-largest element. Hence we return number 6 which is the second-largest element in the sequence.
Problem approach
I took two elements at different indexes. When the element at the 0th index is greater than the largest, then assign arr[0] to largest and second-largest to largest. Again, the vice-versa is done.
This will be repeated for each iteration and ultimately after comparing or completing iterations up to array length will give you the second largest element.
2. Fourth Largest Element in the Array
Easy
20m average time
0/40
Asked in companies
You are given an array consisting of 'N' integers. You have to find the fourth largest element present in the array.
If there is no such number present in the array, then print the minimum value of an integer which is -2147483648.
