On March 6, 2022, I participated in HackwithInfy 2022. It’s a yearly contest that consists of 3 programming problems, after which you advance to further rounds and ultimately a Hackathon in the finals. I solved 1 problem completely (100% test cases) and another problem partially (only 10 % test cases). I received a Pre-Placement Interview Opportunity for the role of Digital Specialist Engineer at Infosys.

Question 1
The Interview was scheduled for 12th May, the Duration was 40 minutes. Strangely the Interviewer didn’t introduce himself, nor did he ask for my introduction.
