Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I started my journey in coding during the first year of my college when we were taught C language as our subject. Then during the lock down I started learning languages like C++, Python, JAVA (basics), JavaScript, to name a few, along with that I learnt data structures. I then did an internship in my second year as a MERN Stack Developer and continued practicing questions in data structures till the companies started visiting my campus for internships. I then bagged the summer internship at Wells Fargo and got a PPO after it's completion.
Application story
I applied through college placement portal.
We gave an online coding test and 60 students were selected after coding round. After that we had our interviews remotely (3 rounds) and 10 out of the 60 were offered the internship
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I think what got me selected is that I was honest when I did not know something and didn't beat around the bush. Second was that I read about the computer and various technologies apart from the one I was giving interview for (SDE) like cloud, AI, IoT, etc. Third was that even if I didn't know the complete solution to a problem I tried my best to answer it to the point I can and then only did I give up.

Asked in companies
You are given a string 'S'. Your task is to check whether the string is palindrome or not. For checking palindrome, consider alphabets and numbers only and ignore the symbols and whitespaces.
Note :
String 'S' is NOT case sensitive.
Example :
Let S = “c1 O$d@eeD o1c”.
If we ignore the special characters, whitespaces and convert all uppercase letters to lowercase, we get S = “c1odeedo1c”, which is a palindrome. Hence, the given string is also a palindrome.
