Paytm Developer Interview Questions

Software Testingo Blog has helped me a lot. To help other students, I would like to share my experience.

Tech Round 1:

• How will you balance a binary search tree?
• Implement two stacks in an array. The interviewer was confused about questions, so he doesn’t ask about it?
• The other question was given a 2-dimensional array in which the elements are either ‘x’ or ‘o’. Replace all ‘o’ with ‘x’ if the top, bottom, right, and left elements are ‘x.’ I did it using two traversals. In the first traversal, I replaced ‘o,’ which satisfy the constraint with some arbitrary value ‘y’ and then replaced all ‘y’ with ‘x’ in the second traversal.
• I was asked if I was aware of any version control software. I said I knew about git and svn. He asked me to tell the difference between git merge and rebase. He asked me how you would implement your version control software. I told him I would implement it using the MD5 algorithm. I would see if hash values are different and then point accordingly that there have been some changes in the local repository. He did not want me to tell the entire design, and he was satisfied with my answer, and time was up for the interview.

Tech Round 2:

• function f2x () generate numbers 0 and 1 with equal probability Design a function f4x () that will generate 0,1,2,3 with equal probability.
• Given a number, find the next greatest palindrome.
• Question on database design and SQL query.

Tech Round 3:

• How the friend’s list is maintained on Facebook.
• Suppose when the user chooses the PayTm wallet as an option for a payment Using BookmyShow, what happens in the backend. Explain the whole process and consider all methods which could happen during the process (Hint – he was trying to get into API)

Technical Interview Questions:

• Give two ints, return index(0 based) of it if it is present in another int. For eg. int a = 34, int b = 12345. The function must return 2 since 34 starts in 12345 at index 2.
• Implement a pattern matching dictionary using Trie?
• Deadlock and synchronization?
• Given an array of integers and an integer k. Returns the pairs that subtract result int k. Example: 3,6,10,13. , k=3
  (3,6),(10,13)
• You have a 5-quart jug and 3-quart jug, and an unlimited supply of water (but no measuring cups). How would you come up with exactly four quarts of water?
• You are trying to cook an egg for exactly 15 minutes, but instead of a timer, you are given two ropes which burn for exactly 1 hour each. The ropes, however, are of uneven densities – e.g., half the rope length-wise might take only 2 minutes to burn?
