AT&S Maintenance Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. What is virtual function?
Ans. 
A virtual function is a function in a base class that is declared using the keyword 'virtual' and can be overridden by a function in a derived class.
• Virtual functions allow a derived class to provide a specific implementation of a function that is already defined in a base class.

• They enable polymorphism, where a pointer to a base class can be used to call a function in a derived class.

• Virtual functions are used in obje...read more

Q4. What is inheritance
Ans. 
Inheritance is a concept in object-oriented programming where a class inherits properties and behaviors from another class.
• Allows for code reusability by creating a new class based on an existing class

• Derived class (subclass) inherits attributes and methods from a base class (superclass)

• Can have multiple levels of inheritance (multi-level inheritance)

• Example: Animal class can be a base class with properties like name a...read more

Q5. What is polymorphism
Ans. 
Polymorphism is the ability of a single function or method to operate on different types of data.
• Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.

• It enables a single interface to be used for different data types.

• Examples include method overloading and method overriding in object-oriented programming.

Q2. Memory Management and mapping in different scenarios.
Ans. 
Memory management involves allocating and deallocating memory efficiently, while mapping involves associating memory addresses with physical locations.
• Memory management is crucial for optimizing performance and preventing memory leaks.

• Mapping involves translating virtual memory addresses to physical memory locations.

• Different scenarios may require different memory management strategies, such as stack allocation vs heap...read more

Q3. Program to find length of bits assigned in memory using recursion.
Ans. 
Program to find length of bits assigned in memory using recursion.
• Define a recursive function to count the bits in memory

• Base case: if input is 0, return 0

• Recursive case: return 1 + function(input / 2)

Q1. Volatile usage w.r.t to gpio initialization, how volatile can help in overwriting compiler optimization.
Ans. 
Volatile keyword prevents compiler optimization by telling the compiler that the variable's value can change unexpectedly.
• Volatile keyword is used to indicate that a variable may be changed unexpectedly, such as in the case of hardware registers.

• When initializing GPIO pins, using volatile keyword ensures that the compiler does not optimize away the initialization code.

• Without volatile keyword, the compiler may optimize...read more

Q2. Union usage for bit assignments.
Ans. 
Unions in C/C++ can be used for bit assignments by allowing multiple variables to share the same memory location.
• Unions allow different data types to be stored in the same memory location, which can be useful for bit manipulation.

• By defining a union with multiple variables of different data types, you can access the same memory location using different variable names.

• For example, you can use a union to access individua...read more

Q3. Explain static const usage with an example .
Ans. 
static const is used to declare constants that are known at compile time and cannot be modified
• static const int MAX_SIZE = 100; // declaring a constant integer

• static const double PI = 3.14159; // declaring a constant double

• static const char* MESSAGE = "Hello, World!"; // declaring a constant string

Q4. Program to find the sum of all the digital in the number .
Ans. 
Program to find the sum of all the digits in a number.
• Iterate through each digit in the number and add them together.

• Convert the number to a string to easily access each digit.

• Use modulo operator to extract each digit from the number.

• Handle negative numbers by taking the absolute value before processing.

Q5. Create a linkedlist check if list is circular if not then reverse it .
Ans. 
Check if a linked list is circular, if not reverse it.
• Create two pointers, one moving at double the speed of the other to detect a cycle

• If a cycle is detected, the list is circular. If not, reverse the list by changing the pointers' directions

Q4. Structure which can take input as 0 or 1 , based on the input traverse the linkedlist and return the decimal equivalent of the traversed data .
Ans. 
Traverse a linked list based on input 0 or 1 to return decimal equivalent.
• Create a function that takes input 0 or 1 and traverses the linked list accordingly.

• For each node in the linked list, multiply the current decimal value by 2 and add the data of the node if input is 1.

• Return the final decimal value after traversing the linked list.

Q2. Detect and remove loop in ll
Ans. 
To detect and remove a loop in a linked list, we can use Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm.
• Use two pointers, slow and fast, to traverse the linked list

• If there is a loop, the fast pointer will eventually meet the slow pointer

• Once the loop is detected, reset one of the pointers to the head and move both pointers at the same pace until they meet again to find the start of the loop
