1. In the HR screening, I was asked about my experience and why do I want to leave my current role? Also, I was told about the salary, the company, and the job description. 2. In the managerial round, the manager asked me about my most proud project and how I managed to get it done. 3. In the coding round, I was asked a question from data structure and algorithm which was following: You are given a list of integers, e.g.: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] called "l". You are given an integer w. Write a function that calculates the moving average of window size = w over l. Moving average = average of the previous w elements, including the current element Input: w = 3 l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Output:, [1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5] Then I was asked to optimize the same.
