Tell me about yourself (followed up with details about your projects) What happens if you initialize the weights of a neural network to zero? What happens to the estimators of linear regression if you double the dataset? What is ridge regression? How do you sample points uniformly from a circle? How do you sample points uniformly from a sphere? Leetcode medium DP problem (jump game)

One of the question: Compare two strings from two arrays of n strings and print 'yes' if they are almost similar and 'no ' if they are not. for example if 1 - 'aaabbb' 2- 'aabb' 1- {a:3 b:3} 2-{a:2 b:2} then they are almost similar if for, a: 3-2=1 and for b= 3-2 =1 such difference is less than 3, so for this example, the results is 'Yes' .

Was given two coding questions. They were easy-medium. I got 100$ one one and 24/27 test cases passed on the other. By the time I realized my mistake (a stupid one line error in my list comprehension), the time was up and I could not fix it. Was given the rejection after a few days, so I think they want 100% accuracy on all the hidden tests, doesnt matter if your logic is correct or not (my code was heavily commented on).
