Online Round:

An online round was conducted on hackerrank. The duration of the test was 90 minutes. There were 5 MCQs ( 10 marks each, -3 negative marking) and two coding questions( one 35 marks, and the other 15 marks)
MCQs were based on the concepts of Data Structures and Algorithms. Proper in- depth knowledge was required to solve these MCQs.
Coding questions: 1. Given a string, find the first non repeating character.
2. Given an array, find the number of contiguous subarrays such that the product of the elements of the subarray is less than or equal to a given positive integer k. ( Brute force gave TLE in this question. So proper optimised O(n) complexity solution was required)
