Coding Technical
Had two technical interviews. The first was about C++, OOPs, and Smart Pointers, asking basic questions and to write a stack using a queue. The second technical interview involved a Smart Pointer question, a linked list question, and differences between QT's QVector and Vector. Also asked how to create a window in QT. The interviewer was polite. I was rejected after both rounds, which seemed to be going smoothly and I answered everything, but they didn't share the results.

- Write a stack using two queues.
