3. Technical interview (Round 2):
It was the longest interview I have appeared, around 1-hour to 1.25-hour, In this round there was no personal introduction, interviewer directly asked me about my previous interview.
Interviewer asked name of my earlier interviewer and had a chat with him to confirm, my heart beats got increased, he smiled and started the interview

The problems that were asked:
1. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/swap-two-numbers-without-using-temporary-variable/amp/was , before I tell my full answer he skipped the question and asked the other question
2. I have given a number greater than 7 and I have to express that in multiples of 5 and 3 and their sum. Similar to https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-number-currency-notes-sum-upto-given-amount/amp/ (I gave 2 different approaches and explained the time and space complexities and best between them, he was happy)
3. Third question was a tricky one, it was easy but he added some conditions https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/program-find-line-passing-2-points/amp/ this was the similar problem, but there was no 2nd (x, y) point given, we have to give the approach to make a straight line from only one point. (I didn’t understand that 2nd co-ordinate I can assume until it is a finite line. I asked to give hint, he gave and I was able to give an approach, he was satisfied with that).
- Interviewer started asking questions on C++.
- Difference between a structure and a class in C++.

This was just 10 to 15 minutes of friendly discussion. It was about my background and interests.
Questions that were asked:

- Family background.
- Future goals, what value I will bring for WDC.
- Questions from my side.
All the rounds got over, we got the results in the evening, 3 students got placed, I was happy I was one of them.
Tips: Be patient in interviews, don’t directly start answering without thinking for a while, while answering coding questions start with explaining what you understood from the problem statement, ask questions if the information given is not enough for you, start with a naïve approach first and then refactor your answer to make another approach, wait for your opportunity. Appreciate people your time will come.
ALL THE BEST
