OYO Rooms Interview Experience | Set 3 (For SDE-II, Gurgaon)

Round 0: I was given two problems to solve on paper (I wrote this as zero because it was not elimination round)

1. Given a linked list N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> N4 …… -> Nk, you have to convert this to N1 -> Nk -> N2 -> Nk-1 …. and so on.

2. Given a cost matrix, you have to find the minimum cost to travel from station 0 to station n-1. (you can only travel in ascending direction)
   i.e you have to travel from station 0 to station 3 and values of the matrix are cost like station 0 t0 2 in the first-row cost would be 78

   stations	0	1	2	3
   0	0	26	78	90
   1	Infinite	0	34	60
   2	Infinite	Infinite	0	65
   3	Infinite	Infinite	Infinite	0
