Hi,
I had a reject from the last interview I took and I don't have any others lined up. My question is should the time before my next interview be just used to practice or build new projects which can be added to my resume?

Hi,
I'd like some feedback on this.

I did an interview a week ago for a Junior software developer position at Jonar, an ERP & EDI Software company based in Montreal.
The interview went well, i had a good feeling leaving.
First part of the interview was with the HR coordinator and the chief of staff. I was prepared for a technical interview but i got no technical questions. It was mostly behavioral questions and questions on my past experiences.

I have no prior experience as a developer. I study economics at the University of Montreal and did a coding bootcamp 6 months ago.
I also founded an Edtech start-up 3 years ago, which failed earlier this year.

During the interview, I also spoke with the product manager & product owner. They both did not asked any technical questions and I felt like i answer their behavioral questions really well.

Although i though i connected well with the HR coordinator and the chief of staff, i am not sure if i should send a follow-up email or not. It's been a week and i did not heard from them.

Should i wait or send a note? Any advice ? Anybody experienced this before?

There is a street with n shops and each shop having k items. You need to start from the first and end at the last shop and find the minimum cost to pick items from each shop.
You can pick one item from each shop.
You cant pick same items from 2 adjacent shops.

Eg :

X 6 1 1
Y 50 50 50
Z 8 20 10
X, Y Z are items to be picked from each shop.
Minimum cost path -> 8,1,1

Given a 6*6 2D Array, :

1 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
We define an hourglass in A to be a subset of values with indices falling in this pattern in arr's graphical representation:

a b c
d
e f g
There are 16 hourglasses in arr, and an hourglass sum is the sum of an hourglass' values. Calculate the hourglass sum for every hourglass in arr, then print the maximum hourglass sum.

For example, given the 2D array:

-9 -9 -9 1 1 1
0 -9 0 4 3 2
-9 -9 -9 1 2 3
0 0 8 6 6 0
0 0 0 -2 0 0
0 0 1 2 4 0
We calculate the following hourglass values:

-63, -34, -9, 12,
-10, 0, 28, 23,
-27, -11, -2, 10,
9, 17, 25, 18
Our highest hourglass value is 28 from the hourglass:

0 4 3
1
8 6 6
Note: If you have already solved the Java domain's Java 2D Array challenge, you may wish to skip this challenge.

Explanation

contains the following hourglasses:


The hourglass with the maximum sum () is:

2 4 4
2
1 2 4
int hourglassSum(vector<vector<int> > arr) {
int i,j,k,sum,max,count=0;
for(i=0;i<4;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<4;j++)
{
sum=0;
for(k=j;k<j+3;k++)
{
sum+=arr[i][k];
sum+=arr[i+2][k];
}
sum+=arr[i+1][j+1];
if(count==0)
{
max=sum;
count++;
}
else
{
if(max<sum)
max=sum;
}
}
}
return max;
}
please tell me what's wrong with my code?

You are given positive integers N and D. You may perform operations of the following two types:

add D to N, i.e. change N to N+D
change N to digitsum(N)
Here, digitsum(x) is the sum of decimal digits of x. For example, digitsum(123)=1+2+3=6, digitsum(100)=1+0+0=1, digitsum(365)=3+6+5=14.

You may perform any number of operations (including zero) in any order. Please find the minimum obtainable value of N and the minimum number of operations required to obtain this value.


this is my code I am getting the wrong answer in some test cases please let me know where I am wrong.

If you partition the list around element x = 5 then 10 should be after x in the "Output" list. If I am right then the example is confusing readers :)

how to generate GUID in c/c++

Can someone help me to convert the call centre program in Java to C++?

Hi all,
On one of the video Gayle presents the following problem -
"Given p number of people with their birth year and their death year, return the year with the maximum population".

At the same video she also states the best possible solution is O(P+Y) s.t. P is the number of peoples and Y is the length of the array of the years from the minimal birth year to the maximal death year, Can't the optimal solution be O(P)?

Here's how -
Generally she achieved a solution of O(P+Y) since she iterate through all the peoples in the input getting the minimal year and the maximal year that is O(P) which gives her Y the total number of years all the people was living in, then she instantiate an array on the size of Y that is O(Y), then she goes through every person in the input, add +1 for birth and -1 for deaths so that is O(P) and lastly she goes through all the array of years summing up the number of +1\-1 to that point which is giving her the number of people living in that year so again O(Y), all together it's O(P+Y+P+Y) => O(P+Y)

However - using a TreeMap (a hashmap that uses an inner tree to sort the dataset) we can achieve O(P), here's how -
traverse the people input and for every person p on the people list add +1 for the person birth year and -1 for the person death year that will end up with a tree with total (MAX) of 2*p nodes and traversing the tree to every year can yield that same result as traversing an array on the size of Y (however using a tree with 2p nodes is much memory efficient than using an array with potentially a-lot of unused 0's) while traversing the tree we can also keep int max which is the year with the max alive people in it.

Isn't that a better solution? or am I missing something?

Given a <Word, TimeStamp> pair data type iterator as input. Implement an iterator based on it which can ignore the item if the same word has occurred in the past 10 seconds.

My implementation is to use a HashMap to memorize the word and its latest timestamp + 10s. For each new item, it will be checked against the HashMap to see if it has duplicated word occurred in the past 10s.

The interviewer asked me how to improve the space complexity if the string value varieties are infinite. He mentioned some boundary stuff.

Could anyone share some thoughts?

Given 2 Linked Lists containing single digit as data representing number with most significant digit at head and least significant at the tail return the addition of both.

The solution must not reverse the given linked lists and do it in O(n) time complexity and constant space complexity(Recursive solution will take O(n) space because of stack).

For example:

9 -> 3 -> 2 -> 2 ->

+

3 -> 4 -> 8 -> 3 ->

=

1 -> 2 -> 8 -> 0 -> 5

Take as input N, a number. Take N more inputs and store that in an array.

a. Write a recursive function which counts the number of ways the array could be split in two groups, so that the sum of items in both groups is equal. Each number in the array must belong to one of the two groups. Print the value returned.

b. Write a recursive function which keeps track of ways an array could be split in two groups, so that the sum of items in both groups is equal. Each number in the array must belong to one of the two groups. Return type of function should be void. Print the two groups, each time you find a successful split.
Input Format:

Take as input N, a number. Take N more inputs and store that in an array.

Hi, I have a technical phone interview coming up and I was wondering what kind of questions will be asked? Thanks in advance.

Using tools like memtool one can read the memory addresses and dump it on screen. But, mapping these bits into their meaning as per SOC's register definition is a tedious and error prone task.

So, i am working on developing a tool that can take the memtool output and then map it to the SOC register bits.

I have SOC register header file and memtool as inputs. The challenging part is parsing through the SOC register header file some way and may be create an intermediate output which helps in mapping the data.

Please suggest what would be best approach to follow here, when it comes to parsing through the SOC register header file.

Where do I find EPIC test questions on this site to practice for the test? Many thanks.

I want to create a web application online java compiler where you can put the code and compile it to see the results, i just don’t know where to start from.

Maybe you fixed this already in 7th.

In 6th edition, question 4.11, the question only specifies a binary tree but the answer assumes a binary search tree. Which is exactly a thing you told us to look out for. So I was.

EDIT: Although this doesn't really seem to affect the answer.

Also, for the love of all things holy, invest in some spam-blocking on the forums!
