Question 1
i was given a circuit with ff and gates with timing numbers and asked to calculate the tsetup and thold while also improving it and explaining what does it mean exactly. Also they asked about CTS and gave me a verilog code to tell them what it does.
I applied online. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Apr 2026

Question 1
Question 1
You are given an array of distinct integers.
Your task is to:
Find the smallest absolute difference between any two elements in the array.
Print all pairs of numbers that have this smallest difference.
a. In each pair, the smaller number comes first.
b. Print the pairs in ascending order.
Example 1
Input:
n = 4 elements, and numbers = [6, 2, 4, 10]
Output:
2 4
4 6
Explanation:
The minimum absolute difference is 2, and the pairs with that difference are (2, 4) and (4, 6).
Example 2
Input:
n = 4 elements, and numbers = [4, -2, -1, 3]
Output:
-2 -1
3 4
Explanation:
The minimum absolute difference is 1, and the pairs with that difference are (-2, -1) and (3, 4).
Constraints
2 ≤ n ≤ 10⁵
-10⁹ ≤ numbers[i] ≤ 10⁹
Test Case Input Format
The first line contains an integer n.
The next n lines contain an integer element of numbers.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Oct 2025
Interview
I had two interviews on the same day, with a one hour break in between, and each interview lasted 45 minutes, so the whole process took most of my day.
