Interview
Asked a few basic OOPS Concepts like Polymorphism, Inheritance and then a coding question that required to pick out repeated elements from the given integer array. Like [1,1,2,3,2] then the output of the program will be 1, 2. And then had a general talk about the company and work there.
Asked also regarding hash tables and I was not able to work out that part.
Given an array which is not sorted, pick out the elements that are repeated. For example, [1.1,2,3,3] the output should be 1 & 3. Then asked to solve the same for [1,1,2,3,2]
