Quoted word for word from Samsung R&D Institute India - Bangalore interview reports.
“Can you reverse a linked list by its halves?”
Read reports →“Can you find all the cut vertices in a graph?”
Read reports →“Given the function f(n)=a*n+b*n[log n base 2]+c*n^3, where a, b, and c are positive integers (or 0 for c), determine the position 'n' of a given integer K in the generated sequence. Note that [log n base 2] should be the floor value. For example, if a=2, b=1, c=1, the sequence starts 3, 14, 36... The task is to find 'n' such that f(n)=K. If K is not in the sequence, output 0. Sample inputs and outputs provided.”
