Asked in companies
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)AccentureOracle

We are suffering from the Second wave of Covid-19. The Government is trying to increase its vaccination drives. Ninja wants to help the Government to plan an effective method to help increase vaccination following safety measures. Time is running out. Can you help the nation?

You are given two positive integers: ‘n,’ ‘maxVaccines’ denoting the number of days for which this vaccination drive will go on and the total number of vaccines available for the drive, respectively. You have to find the number of vaccines administered each day. You are also given a number ‘dayNumber,’ and we are interested to know the maximum number of vaccines that can be administered on ‘dayNumber’ th day.

The rules of the vaccination drive :

1. There should be a positive number of vaccines administered each day during the vaccination drive.

2. The absolute difference between the number of vaccines in two consecutive days should not exceed 1.

3. The sum of all the elements of the vaccines array does not exceed maxVaccines, that is, you cannot administer more vaccines than what is provided to you.

4. Vaccines administered on ‘dayNumber’ th day should be maximized.

Coding problem1

So this was the Technical plus HR round, where I was asked some basic conceptual question based on the the language I have chosen for solving the problem statement in the first round. So in my case the language was java. They have asked question like why do we use functions, what is garbage value, how is Java different from C++,what are local and global variables, what is function overloading. And then they have asked some questions from OOPS like what is encapsulation, difference between overloading and overriding etc.
Further the HR asked basic HR questions like why do you want to join TCS, are you able to relocate, comfortable with night shifts, etc.
