Below I have shared the details of the entire interview process, for PrepInsta
The online exam was conducted on Glider. There were 5 sections in total.
The programming question that came was:-
Write a code to check if two strings are anagram or not.
#include
int main()
{
//Initializing variables.
char str[100];
int i;
int freq[256] = {0};
//Accepting inputs.
printf("Enter the string: ");
gets(str);
//Calculating frequency of each character.
for(i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++)
{
freq[str[i]]++;
}
printf("The non repeating characters are: ");
for(i = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
if(freq[i] == 1)//Finding uniques charcters and printing them.
{
printf(" %c ", i);
}
}
return 0;
}
The Technical interview was conducted on Google Meet platform. The interview started with the interviewer introducing himself and then asked me for my introduction. Then the interviewer asked me to keep my screenshare on, while he asked some dbms and coding questions.

import java.util.*; public class first { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.print("Enter the length of the array : "); Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in); int len=sc.nextInt(); int[] arr=new int[50]; System.out.print("Enter the elements of the array : "); for(int i=0;i<len;i++) { arr[i]=sc.nextInt(); } int large = arr[0]; for(int i=0;i<len;i++) { if(arr[i]>large) { large=arr[i]; } } System.out.print("The largest element of the array : "+large); } }
6. There was another code on string manipulation
7. What is collections in java?
Collections is used in java to store and manipulate objects in a group.
8. Differentiate between errors and exceptions.
| Error | Exception |
