Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation

The interview process was pretty good and straightforward. I applied through campus. It all happened on campus in one day. They started by asking about me and then went through my resume. They asked some questions related to C and data structures. To finish, I had to explain my final year project. There were only 3 rounds in total: an aptitude test, a technical interview, and an HR interview. The HR round was a bit challenging though.

Quoted word for word from Things We Dont Know interview reports.

What is the difference between a linear and a non-linear data structure?

Read reports

Can you write a function to reverse a string? Given an input like 'hello,' it should output 'olleh.' Make sure it handles both upper and lower case letters and is efficient for different string lengths. You can use languages like Python, Java, or C++ to show off your string manipulation and coding skills. For example, input 'programming' should result in 'gnimmargorp'.
