Interview preparation journey

Journey
I took admission in tier 2 college for B.Tech in Computer Science. Firstly I planned that I will start learning DSA from the first year but I could not. So, I started DSA from the fourth semester and along with DSA, I also learned development because that is what I wanted to be. By the end of Third year, I was confident in both DSA and development but even then I keep on revising the concepts.
Application story
I got to know about this opening through linkedin post. I applied to the post and looked at the important question for the particular company and started practising for that. After few days, I got a mail that I will be having an assessment test after which there will be a face to face Technical Round and then the final HR round will takes place.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was giving correct explanation for my solutions in the coding round. I also built the optimal solution starting from the brute force algorithm which also added to my points.

Expedia GroupAmazonOpera

You are given an array of ‘N’ integers. You need to return another array ‘product’ such that ‘product[i]’ contains the product of all the arrays except the element at the ith position in the given array.

Note
As the product of elements can be very large you need to return the answer in mod (10^9+7).
Follow Up
Try to do this without using the division operator ‘/’, in constant space. The output array does not count as extra space for the purpose of space complexity analysis.
