Round 4: Machine Round + Technical Interview
The Final Round i.e. Machine Round + Technical Interview happened in the Cedcoss Lucknow Office. After clearing round 3 I got a call from Cedcoss and I was asked to come to Cedcoss Lucknow for the machine round as well as a technical interview. As I reached there I was assigned a system with the login credentials of the platform where I hadwas to solve the 2 Coding questions. The question was of easy level and I was able to solve both questions within 10 minutes. The question asked was mentioned below:
1. Remove elements from the array which are not a perfect square.
2. Generate a prime subsequence such that it contains prime and nonprime numbers in alternate orders and for each no. which you will not be able to choose for this purpose, there is a penalty, try to use the least possible penalty.
The time allotted for this machine round was 1 hour.
Once the time was over, results declared and I cleared the machine round that means now it’s time for my Technical Interview which happened just after 1 hour break on the same day itself. The questions that are asked from me in my Technical Interview are described below:-
