Interview questions [1]
Question 1
OAT :
Given an array of integers (unsorted) and a value n indicating number of channels. You have to send all these numbers through n channels (At least one number should go through each channel)
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums of length n.
nums contains a valid split at index i if the following are true:
The sum of the first i + 1 elements is greater than or equal to the sum of the last n - i - 1 elements.
There is at least one element to the right of i. That is, 0 <= i < n - 1.
Return the number of valid splits in nums.

Interview
The overall experience exceeded expectations due to the exceptional attention to detail, consistently professional communication, thoughtful execution, and impressive reliability throughout the entire process. Every aspect was handled efficiently, resulting in a seamless, highly satisfactory outcome that demonstrated both expertise and a strong commitment to quality.
Interview was conducted well. Questions were fair, just wasn't prepared well enough. Brush up on your data structures and basic algorithms. The programming language used doesn't matter. Prepare past experiences stories beforehand so you are ready when asked about an experience.
