SWC Test Advanced coding - online 3hrs There are n cards which has some number on it and a symbol(one of four symbols from playing cards). We have to choose k cards such that the score is maximum. Score is calculated by sum of all numbers present on chosen cards + sum of squares of count of each symbols chosen. EX: N = 5,k = 3 Numbers[n] = {3,4,5,6,7,18}; Symbols[n] = {0,1,1,2,2,3}; o/p = 18+13+1+4 = 36 (choose 6,7,18 and symbol 2 is chosen twice so add its square 4, and symbol 3 is chosen once so add its square which is 1).
Technical round: - online 1hr Basic discussion on previous work experience. OOPS concepts. Find all permutations of given array question1 Find all combinations question2 Few more questions like virtual functions and so and so.
