1. Frequency of letters in a string
2. Removing duplicates, find duplicates in a string
3. Checking whether parenthesis is balanced or not
4. Whether two strings are anagrams
5. Star, diamond and number patterns
6. Conversion from decimal to binary
7. Palindrome check (string and integer)
8. Fibonacci, factorial, reverse( string and integer)
9. Quick sort , merge sort, bubble sort

pattern of having a '+' symbol before and after each alphabetic character
21. count how many times a digit appears that is exactly one less than the previous digit.
For example: if str is "5545887" then your program should return 2 because 4 appears
directly after 5 and 7 appears directly after 8.
22. Find GCD, LCM of given number
23. Find second largest number in an array
24. Find a subset in array with given sum

Some Important things to remember:


 In technical interviews, avoid using in-built functions as much as possible for coding
and also keep in mind the time complexity.
 Explain logic of the code clearly to the interviewer although the syntax maybe wrong.
 Have good knowledge about your projects and the questions that can be asked on
them.
 Go through Glassdoor interview experiences before every interview to get an idea
about the process.
 Do not include technical skills or projects that you are not confident about. Questions
will be based on resume majorly
 If you do not know any answer, then know the right way to convey it. Do not say “I
don’t know”.
 Keep going through sites like geeksforgeeks, youtube for interview questions based
on your skills.
 Be thorough in arrays, strings, LinkedList, HashSet,Hashmap concepts
 Make your “Tell me about yourself” as best and clear as possible.
 Prepare questions to ask the interviewer at the end of the interview. Ask at least 3
questions based on job role, tech stack, benefits or any relevant topic.
 Give them assurance that you would work for them irrespective of the package or
location.
 Mistakes will happen but do not panic, keep answering to the best of your knowledge
 Be confident and always have a smile on your face.
