Coding Technical

i got there at 9 AM. I had my first interview for the PTC internship today around 3 PM. It mainly focused on C++—they asked me to write code on linked lists, which I managed to do properly. They also gave me two puzzles (4-5 minutes time for each) : I could solve one but not the other. They didn’t ask anything about SQL, DBMS, OOP, or even about my project. After the interview, they mentioned that the C++ role is not possible and informed me about available roles in Java QA. They asked if I would be interested in those, but it was not possible for me. because if interested they told me come again tomorrow and i cant prepare for those roles in one night as i am not prepared for java since I cleared the test in c++ and was prepared for that and python.
