Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Hyderābād, India
Process
I applied through college or university.
The interview is quite straightforward, like the interviewer asked two DSA questions that are standard LeetCode ones. First is the array one, the maximum XOR using a trie data structure. They also asked why you used trie and why not other data structures. My advice is that go for the internals of all the data structures, like the average time complexity, worst, and best. That's it.
Questions
They find the maximum XOR of two numbers in a subarray.
