I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Thoughtworks (Pune) in Jul 2016

The interview process was pretty good. The initial phase conducted on first day had two coding rounds. In each round, some students were eliminated.
First one having four easy short coding problems with time limit of 20 minutes.
Second one having one relatively descriptive coding problem with time limit of 90 minutes.
Next phase included face to face interviews which was conducted the next day at their office.

Find minimum number of edits required to convert one string to second string. Both strings are given by user as input. And one edit is counted if a character is added, deleted or modified from a string. (Short coding problem)
Few friends go on a tour. The travel and other expenses are paid by some of the friends. So the problem is to design a program to equally divide the expenses among them and thus display as output who owes money to whom.
Input:
