Do you remember what type of questions they asked in online coding screen sharing ? I have an interview on next tuesday and i am nervous about typing code in a text editor . Can you give me some sample questions they asked ? Minder
↳
These were fairly straight forward ones- FizzBuzz, Fibonacci for coding problems, couple of bitwise operations with XOR, regex for US phone number, abt 50% theory questions like interface vs abstract classes and uses of generics and SOLID principles. One question were I messed up a bit was 'Write the api for System.out.println()'. I didn't fully understand the question, then the interviewer clarified. Essentially, he wanted me to write the classes and methods (ignoring the actual logic code) that would allow the user to write System.out.println(). I used inner class to implement it. Good luck.

Thanks. I was contacted by the Sr.Director about 10 days after the interview and made the offer. Minder
A company uses a format to exchange messages with us. You need to validate the input. The character encoding ASCII. Valid characters are between 0x20 (space) and 0x7E (~). write validate function to generate valid output or the error message.

Core Java questions & this person was also not aware about the immutability concept properly except what is given on internet. I had to teach him the immutability of class & object, else for this person both are same.

Many companies are doing the same either companies are just giving illusion to people that they are hiring or the incompetent interviewers are not selecting any worthy candidate for the safety of their own job. In short, all seems to be a kind of fraud going on in name of hiring. Minder

I had the same experience. I was supposed to be interviewed by some Morgan Stanley person on 16th April 2020, then this Morgan Stanley person called me to reschedule the call. Then in evening, this person never showed his face in video conference & he also didn't seem to have proper technical understanding. I think his name was 'Dhaval' & I don't feel that he will select any person more capable. Minder

I also had the similar experience, I think either stupid people work here or stupid people come to take the interviews. Minder

During the first 2 rounds of 2 hours, almost everything the interviewer tried to ask which he might have collected from internet for the interviews.

This shows the cheap mentality of its people & how such kind of people waste the valuable time of both candidates & company. Minder
↳
Right, this is some kind of fraud being done by these companies to exploit the candidates & take their important details for own benefits. And I think Govt should take some actions on such processes. Minder

Well said & agree with you that it is not a worthy company to try for where people are wasting time of the candidates. Minder

Print numbers 1 to 100 in sequence using multiple threads.
4 antwoorden↳
I don't know how did you do it, but there are various ways to do this & depending on the requirements & planning one can pick one. But for this small range, one can throw these many threads with right coordination. But if this range is high or CPU intensive task then better to have a pool of threads. But such questions are trivial & again not sure what your interviewer was looking as the solution. Minder
↳
I just created multiple threads giving one number to each, for simple implementation & just told that it is not the right & should use thread pooling to avoid multiple threads & he also didn't ask to try to use pool. He was complaining in the feedback that I created too many threads but he never asked me to optimize that also. Plus his ask was that all the numbers shouldn't be printed by a single thread & other threads are idle, so I printed via different threads. And it gave another point to reject & I am happy that I didn't give him even better solution to such people. Many interviewers use interviews to get the ideas or prepare for their own interviews with other companies, but till they get next offer letter such people try to avoid any competition in their current team.

You can use & modify below query - select e.ename, dep.loc from emp e, (select d.deptno, d.dname, d.loc from dept d, (select deptno dno, count(*) ct from emp group by deptno order by deptno desc) dn where rownum = 1 and dn.dno = d.deptno) dep where e.deptno = dep.deptno order by e.ename; Minder

I think query will be like given below. Check or change a bit for your requirements. select EMP.ENAME, lc.LOCNAME from employee emp, company org, location lc where emp.cID = ORG.CID and org.locID = lc.locID and lc.locID in ( select place.locID from ( select loc.locID, count(*) ct from employee e, company c, location loc where e.cID = c.cID and c.locID = loc.locID group by loc.locID order by ct desc) place where rownum = 1); Enjoy :) Minder

These people in ADP have been in such a comfort zone that they don't like to pick more capable people who can challenge their capability disturbing their comfort zone & rest who cares about the profits of the company till the time salary is getting credited in the account with less or no work. So continue to show-off & keep capable people away. Minder
A rustic village contains one million married couples and no children. Each couple has exactly one child per year. Each couple wants a girl, but also wants to minimize the number of children they have, so they will continue to have children until they have their first girl. Assume that children are equally likely to be born male or female. Let p(t) be the percentage of children that are female at the end of year t. What is p(t)? "Can't tell" is a potential answer if you don't have sufficient information.
4 antwoorden↳
p(t) = 50% at all years (with some rounding) P(1) = 1,000,000 children, 500,000 of them girls, 500,000 of them boys P(2) = 500,000 more children (only those who had boys have another child), 250,000 girls, 250,000 boys so overall, there are now 750,000 girls, and 750,000 boys P(3) = 250,000 more children, 125,000 girls, 125,000 boys so there are now 875,000 girls (with 500,000 being only children, 250,000 having one brother, and 125,000 having 2 brothers), and 875,000 boys So, except for some rounding when the previous year's number of all boy families is an odd number, you will always have 50% of each Minder
