Technical Assessment
Questions are from applications of MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), computer networking and security, and cloud fundamentals. The pseudocode section tests code analyzing skills through error finding or output determination tasks.
Coding Questions
The difficulty level varies. Preparation should cover basics to advanced DSA topics, such as:
Special Numbers
Description: Find the K smallest integers that are not divisible by any of the N integers in the array.
Input: K = 4, N = 5, Arr = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11]
Output: 32
Add Alternate Nodes in Linked List
Description: Modify a singly linked list by adding the value of the current node to the next to next node.
Input: head = 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7
Output: 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 6 -> 8 -> 10 -> 12
Distinct and Duplicate Integers
Description: Find the sum of distinct numbers and subtract the duplicate number.
Input: a = 5, b = 4, c = 4, d = 9
Output: 10
Lettered Number
Description: Returns the sum of number equivalents of each letter in the string.
Input: DCCBAA
Output: 1212
Other coding challenges include evaluating expressions, finding maximum elements, and working with arrays.
