Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - India
Process
The interviewer was friendly. First, he described his work. Then, he asked me to describe my work during an internship. Next, we moved on to HackerRank, where I received a programming question.
Questions
Candy crushing question (can be solved using a stack; more optimal solutions are also possible).
(Copied from a previous Glassdoor description; was asked the same question.)
1-D Candy Crush: Given a string, collapse characters appearing three or more times consecutively. After collapsing, the new string must be checked for further collapses. The overall resultant string must not contain any sequence of three or more identical characters.
