  • Q2. What are blocking and non blocking assignments?
  • Ans. 

    Blocking assignments wait for the assigned value to be calculated before moving on to the next statement, while non-blocking assignments allow multiple assignments to occur simultaneously.

    • Blocking assignments use the = operator, while non-blocking assignments use the <= operator

    • Blocking assignments are executed sequentially in the order they appear in the code, while non-blocking assignments are executed concurrently

I applied via campus placement at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani and was interviewed in Jul 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. How to predict if a 32 bit number is divisible by 8, draw a circuit using gates
  • Ans. 

    To predict if a 32 bit number is divisible by 8, design a circuit using gates.

    • Use a circuit with AND, OR, and NOT gates to check if the last three bits of the number are all zeros.

    • If the last three bits are zeros, then the number is divisible by 8.

    • For example, if the 32 bit number is 11010000, the last three bits are zeros, so it is divisible by 8.
