Process
The first round was a technical interview with questions about past projects, technologies worked on, and how Google Maps and Analytics work. After this, a HackerRank coding challenge was sent, with a 90-minute duration and 3 coding questions and 4 MCQs. This was very tough. All 3 coding questions were DP.
Questions
Coding Question 1:
Given an array of 1s and 0s, count the minimum number of changes in positions such that all 1s are aligned to the left and 0s to the right. Positions can be changed only with nearby elements.
Coding Question 2:
Given an array of integers, find the minimum number of operations needed to make all the elements equal. While performing each increment, any one of the elements must be kept fixed.
A DP question.
