Round 1 Online Coding Test
There were 2 sections 1 hour each.
The first section consists of two easy problems. The second section had 1 medium and 1 hard problem.
One of the questions was just some variation of the Rotate array by K toward the left. We need to find the number of left rotations to made so the minimum element of the array comes at the zeroth index.
The Second question was just to find the maximum depth of the generic tree (Basically an acyclic graph was given)
The third question was a variation of the Diameter of a generic tree/ graph problem.
