Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Bengaluru, Karnataka
Process
The first round was a combo of aptitude and coding.
Coding questions were two: one was easy and one was hard. The hard question is what I'll be talking about.
The other two rounds were technical and dealt with both coding questions as well as computer science subjects, ranging from OS, CN, to DBMS and OOPS.
Had a good discussion on all these and stressed a few ML parts too.
The last round was the HR round.
Questions
It was a question where, given an expression in a string with parentheses, we must find out the result of that expression and print it out using BODMAS.
Input: "7+(8-6)*4" Output: 15
