Process
I had applied online and received one HackerRank coding assessment as a part of the interview process. The duration of the challenge will be 60 minutes from the time you start. I am still waiting for the results.
Questions
There were around 9 questions covering MCQs, Data Structures, Operating Systems, and Caching.
The MCQ questions included code snippets in C++, requiring the determination of their output. However, the provided options were insufficient.
There were 2 coding questions: a Number Scoring System and a Lock Use Analyzer.
