I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Sep 2024. There were 3 interview rounds.
(6 Questions)
- Q1. Merge intervals ( Leetcode)
- Q2. Buy and sell stocks II (Leetcode)
- Q3. Runtime polymorphism and how it works vptr and vtable
- Ans.
Runtime polymorphism in C++ is achieved through virtual functions, vptr (virtual pointer), and vtable (virtual table).
Runtime polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.
Virtual functions are declared in a base class and overridden in derived classes to achieve polymorphism.
vptr is a pointer that points to the vtable of an object, allowing dynamic binding of virtual ...
- Q4. Which version of c++ you use
- Ans.
I primarily use C++17, but I am familiar with earlier versions as well.
I am comfortable working with features introduced in C++17 such as structured bindings and constexpr if
I have experience with earlier versions like C++11 and C++14
I stay updated with the latest features and improvements in C++ standards
- Q5. Design patterns
- Q6. Have you used any windows api's?
- Ans.
Yes, I have used Windows API's extensively in my previous projects.
I have used Windows API's for tasks such as creating windows, handling messages, and interacting with system resources.
Examples include using functions like CreateWindow, SendMessage, and ReadFile.
I have also worked with specific Windows API's like Winsock for networking and WinINet for internet-related tasks.

- Q2. What is dynamic_cast where it can fail and what will happen in that case
- Ans.
dynamic_cast is a C++ operator used for safe downcasting of pointers and references in polymorphic classes.
dynamic_cast is used to safely downcast a pointer or reference from a base class to a derived class.
It can fail if the object being casted is not of the target type, in which case it returns a null pointer for pointers or throws a std::bad_cast exception for references.
Dynamic_cast can only be used with pointers o...

- Q2. What is union in c++
- Ans.
Union in C++ is a data structure that allows storing different data types in the same memory location.
Unions are similar to structures but all members share the same memory location.
Only one member of a union can be accessed at a time.
Unions are useful when you need to store different data types in the same memory space.
Example: union MyUnion { int i; float f; };
Example: MyUnion u; u.i = 10; // Accessing integer member
- Q3. What is weak pointer
- Ans.
Weak pointer is a type of smart pointer in C++ that does not control the lifetime of the object it points to.
Weak pointers are used to break circular references in shared pointers.
They do not increase the reference count of the object.
They are used in scenarios where the object may be deleted while there are still weak pointers pointing to it.
- Q4. What are processes and threads memory is allocated to what process or threads? what is mutex and semaphore how many threads/process can you launch at a time what is meaning of core in 4-core system what is...
- Ans.
Processes and threads are units of execution in a computer system. Memory is allocated to processes. Mutex and semaphore are synchronization mechanisms. Core refers to a processing unit in a multi-core system. Context switching is the process of switching between different processes or threads.
Processes are independent units of execution with their own memory space and resources.
Threads are lightweight units of executi...

I was interviewed before May 2016.
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: it was elitmus test conducted by the company itself on campus. As per my knowledge only those scoring 90 percentile got selected for round 2.
Tips: Attempt only those ques that are necessary for scoring 90+ in e litmus. Specially in verbal don't attempt more then required questions, though you might be tempted. The aim is not to score max bt to score 90+
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a programming based round. I was asked to write algorithms for various array linked list based problems. There was cross questioning prompting to reduce complexity and to use different data structures for same problems.
Mostly it focused on subjects like c, data structures and ADA.
Tips: Be clear with basic of data structures and algorithms. Pointers, queue, stacks, array linked lists, sorting etc are the keywords.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a information security specific round since that was my major. In depth cross questioning on my thesis topics, honeypots, network intrusion etc. Security certificates, and on the go problems to provide security solution layer wise in different scenarios. Security concept of torrents was also asked in detail.
Tips: It was more of a security discussion and throwing of ideas about how things in a particular case could work or could not. Don't worry about right or wrong answer just be clear with your reasoning about the solution you are suggesting.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: I don't know what to name this round, but it focused mainly on developing test cases for an object. Say they gave me a stapler and said to develop a test plan listing down test cases for a given object to pass so that it can be confirmed that it is a stapler. Another scenario was with a lift.
Tips: This is one round where your presence of mind and inter personal skills matter. I think the way you present your thoughts was most important here.
Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: This was was mostly about how would you react in a given professional situation
Like your assigned work could not be completed on time, or if you are doing something wrong with the work assigned.
Tips: This is all about inter personal skills and putting your best foot forward :)

Free the memory occupied by the node to be deleted
- Q3. What is a function pointer and volatile type in c
- Ans.
A function pointer is a variable that stores the address of a function. Volatile type is used to declare variables that can be modified by external factors.

- Q1. What is normalization
- Ans.
Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.
Normalization is used to eliminate data redundancy by breaking up tables into smaller, related tables.
It helps in reducing data anomalies such as insertion, update, and deletion anomalies.
Normalization is achieved through a series of stages called normal forms, with the most common being First Normal Form (1NF)...
