Round 1: Telephonic with Collabedit.

Round 2: Technical round with one person.

Round 3: Technical round with two people.

Round 4: Technical round.

The first question was: "Your designation is Lead in your current organization, and we are recruiting for Senior SDET."

I replied: "I am an individual contributor in my company, but my designation is Lead as I am responsible for the automation team and sending project delivery status to all stakeholders associated with the project."

Later, I found on LinkedIn, she was also a Lead SDET :)

Round 1: Telephonic round with collabedit

• All basic and tricky questions related to DNS, shell, pattern, Linux, Python, debugging, and puzzles.

Round 2: Face-to-face Technical round with 1 person

• Clear. Same as Round 1, but explained on a board.

Round 3: Technical round with 2 people

• Programming skill check. Program writing for sorting, occurrence, and tricky mathematical puzzles.

Round 4: Technical round

2nd Question: Write a program to grep the pattern from the file and return the line number which has the maximum '1's.

0110101010010 1101010010101 0110101111111 1111111111100 0100101010010 1000001010100

I wrote:

python import io

r = open("file.txt", 'w+') r.write('0110101010010\n1101010010101\n0110101111111\n1111111111100\n0100101010010\n1000001010100') r.close()

index = 0 count = 0 linenumber = 0 val = '' for i in open("file.txt", 'r'): num1count = 1 linenumber += 1 for j in range(len(i)): print i[j] if i[j] is '1': num1count += 1 if count < num1count: index = linenumber count = num1count val = i

print 'highest 1 index is ', index, 'and value is ', val

Question 3: Can you optimize this?

I tried to solve using pattern.search with one for loop. I was not able to recall the syntax of it, hence just explained the logic.

Question 4: Can you further optimize this?

I tried using re.match, but I was not able to find the line number for the highest number of '1's.

Question 5: Can you further optimize?

I replied, "This is what I am able to think as of now."
