Interviewer: How are u feeling today
Me; fine and excited sir

Interviewer1 :as u have mentioned about Maths Olympiad in your cv tell me one maths trick
Me : Listening to the first question i was a little bit nervous but suddenly i remembered Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to generate prime numbers which is very often used in competitive coding.I explained him the algorithm

Interviewer1 : Giving pen and paper he asked ….okay ,so find a general formula to add all odd numbers divided by 3 .
Me; after thinking a little bit i figured out that starting from 3 every 6th number is odd and divided by 3 . so i wrote the generalised formula summation( 6x +3 )

Interviewer1 : What was your role in your project
Me : sir, i was the team leader

Interviewer2 : okay ,so u took 7 attempts to make first code accepted and did second in one go .why is it so ?
Me: i explained him my logic for first code and he was satisfied .but may be there was problem with the test cases so the code didn’t work

He asked me more questions about code
I answered him my logic and the stl (standard template library) i used in my code
I did code in c++.
He asked if i can do same code in java or not to which I replied yes but i don’t know the predefined function for next_permutation() in java otherwise the logic is same
