GE Software Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

There was simple aptitude questions along with some C snippet

Q1. Difference between RISC and CISC?
Ans. 
RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) has a smaller set of simple instructions, while CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) has a larger set of complex instructions.
• RISC processors have simpler instructions that can be executed in a single clock cycle, making them faster.

• CISC processors have more complex instructions that may require multiple clock cycles to execute.

• RISC architectures typically have a smaller chi...read more

Q2. How ADC(Analog to Digital Converter) works?
Ans. 
ADC converts analog signals into digital data by sampling the input signal at regular intervals.
• ADC samples the input signal at regular intervals

• It quantizes the sampled values into discrete digital values

• The resolution of ADC determines the number of possible digital values

• Common types of ADC include successive approximation ADC and delta-sigma ADC

Q1. How to reverse an array?
Ans. 
To reverse an array of strings, iterate through the array and swap elements from start to end.
• Iterate through the array using two pointers, one starting from the beginning and the other from the end.

• Swap elements at the two pointers until they meet in the middle.

• Repeat until all elements are swapped and the array is reversed.

Q1. Explain OOPS and functional programming
Ans. 
OOPS focuses on objects and classes, while functional programming focuses on functions as first-class citizens.
• OOPS involves concepts like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.

• Functional programming emphasizes immutability, pure functions, and higher-order functions.

• In OOPS, data is typically stored in objects with methods to manipulate the data.

• Functional programming avoids side effects and mutable state.

• Examp...read more

Q1. React server side vs client side
Ans. 
React server side rendering generates HTML on the server while client side rendering generates HTML on the browser.
• Server side rendering is better for SEO and initial page load time

• Client side rendering is better for interactivity and dynamic content

• Server side rendering requires more initial setup and configuration

• Client side rendering can be easier to develop and maintain

Q2. Convert class based component to functional component
Ans. 
To convert a class based component to functional component, we need to remove the class syntax and use hooks instead.
• Remove the class syntax and replace it with a function

• Remove the render method and return the JSX directly

• Replace this.props with props

• Use useState hook to manage state

• Use useEffect hook to manage lifecycle methods

Q1. Differentiate between RISC and CISC
Ans. 
RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing and CISC stands for Complex Instruction Set Computing.
• RISC processors have a smaller set of simple instructions, while CISC processors have a larger set of complex instructions.

• RISC processors typically execute instructions in one clock cycle, while CISC processors may require multiple clock cycles.

• RISC processors rely on optimizing compilers for performance, while CISC...read more

Q2. Define and differentiate interpreter and compiler
Ans. 
Interpreter translates code line by line while compiler translates entire code at once.
• Interpreter: translates code line by line, slower execution, easier debugging (e.g. Python)

• Compiler: translates entire code at once, faster execution, harder debugging (e.g. C++)
