Journey
I am a final year student at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad. I started my coding in the second year of my college, initially, I started with a machine Learning course and subsequently started with Data Structures and Algorithms. I began with HackerEarth and hacker rank and solved some basic problems there to get a knack for programming. Then I started with code forces at first with basic competitive programming problems, I started participating in contests once I got comfortable in programming. 3-4 months before the placement session I started solving problems on leetcode and interview bit. Personally, Interviewbit helped me a lot to excel my DSA skills, I also did a webD project in Django. Wells Fargo came to our college to hire summer interns and I was one of the selected interns.
Application story
As a computer science student, I was excited to participate in the on-campus internship drive. I prepared for the online test, making sure I had a solid understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms, as well as the basics of OS, DBMS, and Web development using Django. The online test was challenging, but I felt confident in my abilities. Next came the interview rounds, where I had to showcase my skills and experience. The interviewers asked me in-depth questions about my knowledge, and I responded with my best answers. The recruitment application journey was intense, but it paid off when I received an offer letter from my dream company.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
During the interview, the interviewer asked tough questions, but I had good problem-solving skill and was able to confidently answer each one. In the end, I got the internship.

You are given an array ‘arr’ consisting only of 0s , 1s, and 2s.

Sort the given array.

For Example:

For ‘arr’ = {1, 0, 0, 2, 1}.
‘Answer’ = {0, 0, 1, 1, 2}.
‘Answer’ should contain all 0s first, then all 1s and all 2s in the end.

1. Delete middle element from stack

You are having a stack "ARR" of size 'N+1', your task is to delete the middlemost element so that the size of resulting stack is 'N'.

A stack is a linear data structure where both insertion and deletion of elements take place at the top. It follows FILO (First In Last Out) or LIFO (Last In First Out) approaches. Books piled on top of each other is an example of a stack, where you can only remove a single book at a time, which is at the top of the stack. Likewise, you can only add a single book at a time, on the top of the stack only.

Example :-
INPUT : ARR [ ] = [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] , N = 4
OUTPUT: ARR [ ] = [ 1 , 2 , 4,  5 ]

The above example contains an odd number of elements, hence the middle element is clearly the (N+1) / 2th element, which is removed from the stack in the output.

INPUT : ARR [ ] = [ 5, 6, 7, 8 ] , N = 3
OUTPUT: ARR [ ] = [ 5, 7, 8 ]

The above example contains an even number of elements, so out of the two middle elements, we consider the one which occurs first. Hence, the middle element would be ((N+1) / 2 - 1) element, which is 6 and is removed from the stack in the output.
Problem approach

I initially did it using extra space by taking two stacks, but later I gave him a backtracking-based solution, and he wasn't very satisfied because it used an internal stack.
