Other Power Day Problems
Most Power Day coding rounds at Capital One are the incremental banking build. Some panels give a short algorithm question instead, often one that has stayed in rotation for years. These are usually counting, string scan or range questions, small enough to finish in the time but with a clear faster version behind the obvious one.
These rounds usually follow the same shape. You give a working answer, then the interviewer asks for a faster one. A slow count turns into a precomputed table, and a repeated scan turns into a prefix array. Say the simple version and its cost first, so that if the fast one stalls you still have something on the board.
The build round wants a working step before a clean one, and these questions reward the same habit. Keep a running total so you never rescan, and ask about the edge cases early, before you write the loop. Then improve the answer out loud, so the interviewer can follow each change you make.
