Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SanDisk in Jul 2021
Asked very different questions than my profile and skills. He asked first question on huffman coding and asked if I remember and must have studied my college. Who remembers after 13-14 years? I do not know why interviewers interview the people when they are sitting for rejecting. Very bad experience.
- First questions was about huffman coding. write a code for the same. Asked about image processing, define a 2d array as struct of struct. allocate memory to 2d array dynamically (int **arr)
- what is Hash map, write a struct for that
- What is histogram and how values mapped. Calculate the frequency of numbers in a 2d matrix. Like in image processing the pixels frequency in a 2d array.
