1) asked basic coding question 1,2,3, 5,7,a,6,7,8,@9,11 output: 1,2,3,6,7,8,9,11 interviewer asked for a pseudo code.. He didn't know difference between pseudo code and actual implementation.. on writing pseudo code he said why did you write like this.. I want a running code. 2) tell me about springboot architecture.
