Interview preparation journey
Journey
TCS visited my college for campus placements, and I was in my final year, so I prepared for placements by studying many topics like Java, Python, Data Structures and Algorithms, Object-Oriented Programming, etc.
Application story
TCS visited our campus in the first week of October for the roles of Software Developer and System Analyst. The online coding round was conducted on 30th September, the PI on 4th October, and the result was declared on 7th October.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was not selected because I was not prepared; my third interview did not go well, so I was rejected, and the level of questions asked was very high.

1. Subset Sum
Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
You are given an array 'nums' of ‘n’ integers.
Return all subset sums of 'nums' in a non-decreasing order.
Note:
Here subset sum means sum of all elements of a subset of 'nums'. A subset of 'nums' is an array formed by removing some (possibly zero or all) elements of 'nums'.
For example
Input: 'nums' = [1,2]
Output: 0 1 2 3
Explanation:
Following are the subset sums:
0 (by considering empty subset)
1
2
1+2 = 3
So, subset sum are [0,1,2,3].
