Novosoft interview questions

1st Interview and 1st Company for My Batch 1st Round (DSA + Technical) It was more like an online test, where I was asked around: 3 DSA questions 1 SQL query 2-3 Linux commands 1 messy code problem (I had to figure out what the code was doing) 1 server improvement question (e.g., the server is taking more time than expected; how would you improve it?) 2nd Round (P2P Interview) They asked 2-3 basic questions, like introducing yourself, etc. Then they moved on to which languages I’ve worked with, and I said Java and JavaScript. The interview focused on Java: First question: Create an ArrayList and find its maximum value. Then improve the same code to find the second maximum value. (I took a bit too long on this one.) Next, they gave me a HashMap problem that I solved within a few minutes. Then they asked me SQL queries: Left Join Self Join got selected for the 3rd round. 3rd Round (DSA Round) They gave me the first question, and I solved half of it. It was about a HashMap. In the middle of solving, they stopped me and asked what I was doing, so I quickly explained the code. The code had a couple of issues, and I panicked and couldn’t recover for the rest of the interview. The second question was also about HashMap, but I couldn’t solve it either. I built up a logic but didn’t know exactly what they were asking, no matter how I explained. They kept asking if I could solve it only this way. After that, they moved on to my project and asked questions about React. I think I answered that part pretty well (I’m guessing). Then they gave me a time-related problem: Take input from the user for hours, minutes, and seconds, and create a Time class. If the user inputs seconds, update the time accordingly. The time cannot go beyond 24 hours. Next Round: HR Round I don't think I'll be selected after my poor performance in the 3rd round. (Hope for the best)
