oa: **Question:**Lucy loves to play the Hop. Skip and Jump game. Given anN∗M matrix and starting from cell (1,1), her challenge is to hop in an anti-clockwise direction and skip alternate cells. The goal is to find out the last cell she would hop onto. Write an algorithm to find the last cell Lucy would hop onto after moving anti-clockwise and skipping alternate cells.Input The first line of input consists of two integersmatrix_rowand matrix col, representing the number of rows (N) and the number of columns (M) in the matrix, respectively. The next M lines consist of N space-separated integers representing the elements in each cell of the matrix. Output Print an integer representing the last cell Lucy would hop onto after following the given instructions. Example Input: 3 3 29 8 3715 41 3 1 10 14 Output: 41 Explanation: Lucy starts with 29, skips 15, hops onto 1, skip 10, hops onto 14, skips 3, hops onto 37 , skips 8 and finally hops onto 41. So, the output is 41 .

They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco in May 2026
Interview
Series of 4 interviews, First screening with HR Recruiter, reviewed resume and qualifications, second was hiring manager, reviewed experience and skills. Technical interview with team as a panel type interview, Last with hiring Director.
