7 Interview questions

A Project Trainee was asked
Q. What is the formula for crystal frequency?
Ans. 

The crystal frequency formula is used to calculate the resonant frequency of a crystal oscillator.

  • The crystal frequency formula is: f = 1 / (2 * pi * sqrt(L * C))

  • Where f is the resonant frequency in Hertz, L is the inductance in Henrys, and C is the capacitance in Farads

  • This formula is commonly used in electronics for designing crystal oscillators

An Embedded Developer was asked
Q. What is an Interrupt Service Routine?
Ans. 

An Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) is a function that is executed in response to an interrupt signal.

  • ISR is a type of callback function that handles interrupts

  • It is a low-level function that runs in response to a hardware event

  • ISR must be short and fast to avoid blocking other interrupts

  • Examples of interrupts include keyboard input, timer events, and hardware errors

Q. What are the different types of interrupts?
Ans. 

Interrupts are signals sent to the processor to temporarily halt its current task and execute a specific task.

  • Hardware interrupts - generated by external devices

  • Software interrupts - generated by software programs

  • Maskable interrupts - can be disabled by the processor

  • Non-maskable interrupts - cannot be disabled by the processor

  • Examples - keyboard input, mouse input, timer interrupts, etc.

An Embedded Developer was asked
Q. What are storage class specifiers in C?
Ans. 

Storage class specifiers in C are used to define the scope and lifetime of variables.

  • There are four storage class specifiers in C: auto, register, static, and extern.

  • Auto variables are local to a block and have automatic storage duration.

  • Register variables are stored in CPU registers for faster access.

  • Static variables have a lifetime throughout the program and are initialized only once.

  • Extern variables are declare...

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
