Paytm Coding Assessment Practice Set 1

90 min2 questions
Q1.
Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters
Hash TableStringSliding Window
Medium50 marks

Problem Statement

In Paytm's technical coding assessment, candidates are evaluated on clean algorithmic problem-solving for "Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters".

Given standard input parameters adhering to Hash Table principles, design an optimal algorithm that satisfies all constraints and handles boundary test scenarios efficiently.

Ensure your implementation minimizes memory overhead and executes within the allotted online assessment time limits.

Input Format

  • The first line specifies the dimensions or count of test elements N.
  • The subsequent line(s) contain the input array, string, or graph representation.

Output Format

  • Print the computed result adhering to the required return format.

Constraints

  • 1 <= N <= 10^5
  • -10^9 <= element[i] <= 10^9
  • Time Limit: 2.0 seconds
  • Memory Limit: 256 MB

Edge Cases

  • Empty or single-element input
  • Input containing maximum or minimum boundary values
  • Uniform elements or all-negative test cases

Sample Test Cases

Example 1

Input

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], k = 3

Output

3

Explanation

Applying the optimal Hash Table approach yields the expected solution 3.

Candidate Instructions

  • Identify the core invariant related to Hash Table.
  • Verify edge cases including empty inputs and extreme bounds.
  • Optimize time complexity before submitting.
Time:O(N)
Space:O(N)
Approach:Leverage Hash Table combined with String, Sliding Window to process the input in optimal O(N) time complexity.
Q2.
Min Stack
StackDesign

Problem Statement

In Paytm's technical coding assessment, candidates are evaluated on clean algorithmic problem-solving for "Min Stack".

Given standard input parameters adhering to Stack principles, design an optimal algorithm that satisfies all constraints and handles boundary test scenarios efficiently.

Ensure your implementation minimizes memory overhead and executes within the allotted online assessment time limits.

Input Format

  • The first line specifies the dimensions or count of test elements N.
  • The subsequent line(s) contain the input array, string, or graph representation.

Output Format

  • Print the computed result adhering to the required return format.

Constraints

  • 1 <= N <= 10^5
  • -10^9 <= element[i] <= 10^9
  • Time Limit: 2.0 seconds
