HR round that lasted for 45 minutes. Did brainstorming on puzzles and HR asked questions to know more about me.
Tips : During HR, think before you speak, they can catch any word that you speak. Prepare well for aptitude, as they shortlist less people after the test. Ask good questions during the end of the interviews. It might impress them. So prepare for it before going for the interview. Lastly, don’t be nervous, HRs are only trying to make you nervous during the interview as a part of the stress test.

Q1. What is a virtual function in C++?
Ans. 
A virtual function in C++ is a function that is declared within a base class and is redefined by a derived class.
• Virtual functions allow a function to be overridden in a derived class.

• They are used in polymorphism to achieve runtime binding.

• The base class function must be declared as virtual for dynamic binding to occur.

• Example: virtual void display() = 0; // pure virtual function

Q2. Can you explain the malloc() and free() operations in the context of memory management in C?
Ans. 
malloc() is used to dynamically allocate memory in C, while free() is used to release allocated memory.
• malloc() allocates a block of memory of specified size and returns a pointer to the beginning of the block.

• free() deallocates the memory previously allocated by malloc() or calloc().

• Example: int *ptr = (int*)malloc(5 * sizeof(int)); // Allocates memory for 5 integers

• Example: free(ptr); // Deallocates the memory alloca

Q3. What is structure padding?
Ans. 
Structure padding is the concept of adding empty bytes to a structure to align its data members on memory boundaries.
• Structure padding is done to optimize memory access and improve performance.

• Padding is necessary because most processors require data to be aligned on specific memory boundaries for efficient access.

• For example, if a structure contains a char followed by an int, padding may be added after the char to ali
