Preparation
Duration: 6 months
Topics: Greedy Algorithms, Dynamic Programming, Segment Tree, Tree, and other data structures. I covered main topics such as arrays, strings, trees, linked lists, hashmaps, and recursion.

Tip
Tip

Tip 1 : Focus on data structures and algorithms part more.
Tip 2 : Try to do as much deep study of logic as you can’t memorize each question so the only thing you will remember is the logic part which you have applied.
Tip 3 : Also, try to do lot of practice for Data Structures and Algorithms related problems. I personally used Codezen and Geeks For Geeks. You may refer to any portal but I suggest you to use Codezen of Coding Ninjas as you can get a variety of interview problems there.
Tip 4 : DO projects properly

You have given two 32 bit signed integers, and you have to check if their multiplication will overflow 32 bit signed integer or not.
