Coding Round

  • Duration: 1 hour
  • Method: Online Coding Platform
  • Number of Questions: 2

Q1. Sliding Window Maximum – Array based problem (Hard Category)

C++ 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class GFG {
public:
    vector<int> maxSlidingWindow(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
        int n = nums.size();
        deque<int>dq;
        vector<int>ans; 

        for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i++) {
            // remove if it goes out of the window 
            while(!dq.empty() && dq.front() <= i - k){
                dq.pop_front();
            }
            while(!dq.empty() && nums[dq.back()] <= nums[i]){
                dq.pop_back();
            }
            dq.push_back(i);

            if(i >= k - 1) ans.push_back(nums[dq.front()]);

        }

        return ans;
    }
};

Q2. Valid Parenthesis – Stack & String based (Easy and frequently asked problem)

C++ 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class GFG {
public:
    bool isValid(string s) {
        
        //TC = O(N) SC = O(N) cz uaing stack
       
        stack<char> s1;

        for(int i = 0; i < s.size(); i++){

            if(s[i] == '[' || s[i] == '(' || s[i] == '{'){
                
                s1.push(s[i]);
            }
            else{
                if(s1.empty()){ //edge case
                    return false;
                }
                else if(s1.top() == '[' && s[i] == ']'){
                    s1.pop();
                }
                else if(s1.top() == '(' && s[i] == ')'){
                    s1.pop();
                }
                else if(s1.top() == '{' && s[i] == '}'){
                    s1.pop();
                }
                else{
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        
        if(s1.empty() == 1){

            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
};

Both problems tested algorithmic thinking and problem-solving ability. I managed to solve both and moved to the next stage.

Communication Round (AI Mock)

  • Mode: Online(You can give this round at anywhere according to your availability)
