Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The written test had 75 questions and we were allotted 80 minutes for the same.There were four sections: Verbal, Analytical, Attention to Detail and Technical (C and Data Structures).First, there was the verbal section. Basically, questions on articles, synonyms and antonyms were asked. Two passages were also given and related questions were asked. The analytical section included questions from quant (set theory, data sufficiency, cubes,etc.) and Logical Reasoning.
The third section was the easiest and did not require any special preparation. From a group of patterns, we had to determine if they were alike or different.
The fourth was the technical section and had 5 questions each from C and DS. This was the toughest section.Time management is absolutely important. There were sectional cutoffs and so we had to clear each section.

Round: Technical Interview

  • Q3. Difference between TCP and UDP ?
  • Ans. 

    TCP is a connection-oriented protocol while UDP is connectionless.

    • TCP provides reliable data transfer while UDP does not guarantee reliability.

    • TCP uses flow control and congestion control while UDP does not.

    • The ants will never meet if they all move in the same direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) at the same speed.

    • The probability of this happening is 1/3, as each ant has two possible directions to choose from.

    • Example: If one ant starts moving clockwise, the other two ants must also move clockwise to never meet.
