Round 1: There was an online round on hackerearth which had three coding question. People who solved at least two problem correctly were selected for next round. All three questions were easy.

First question was simply based on key and value pair which can be easily solved by map in c++ and hashmap in java.

second question was based on binary search. Given array of employee’s salary and query. Query contain two variable x and y. we have to find how many employee has salary between range of x and y.

third question : given n floor and there is ladder on every floor and we are at ground floor. we have to go to top floor using minimum ladder. see example for better understanding

5

3  2 3 1 1

answer : 2

currently we are on ground floor and there is ladder from which we can go to first, second and third floor.

from ground floor we will go to second floor. from second  we can got to 5th floor. so we have only used 2 ladders.
