Round 2: Technical Interview(Total:4)
Since I don’t remember questions asked round wise, I am sharing all the questions that I remember. These questions were asked in the interview with various students.
-
Check whether the given tree is a perfect binary tree or not?
-
Kadane Algorithm (Also with slight modifications in it Like count number of elements which form maximum sum in the array. You can delete one number in the array, find maximum sum of contiguous array elements)
-
Given a Binary Tree, Count how many subtrees are possible which are BSTs
-
Detect loop in linked list
-
Given a string, Is it possible to shuffle characters to make it palindrome
-
