OYO Rooms Interview Experience | Set 3 (For SDE-II, Gurgaon)
Round 0: I was given two problems to solve on paper (I wrote this as zero because it was not elimination round)
- Given a linked list N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> N4 …… -> Nk, you have to convert this to N1 -> Nk -> N2 -> Nk-1 …. and so on.
w3wiki Link - Given a cost matrix, you have to find the minimum cost to travel from station 0 to station n-1. (you can only travel in ascending direction)
i.e you have to travel from station 0 to station 3 and values of the matrix are cost like station 0 t0 2 in the first-row cost would be 78stations 0 1 2 3 0 0 26 78 90 1 Infinite 0 34 60 2 Infinite Infinite 0 65 3 Infinite Infinite Infinite 0
