  • Use non-blocking assignment to update the output based on the input

  • Include a clock signal to trigger the update of the output

Q. What is a virtual function?
Ans. 

Virtual function is a function in C++ that can be overridden in a derived class.

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

  • Example: virtual void display() { cout << 'Ba...

A Graduate Trainee was asked
Q. What is a destructor?
Ans. 

A destructor is a member function of a class that is responsible for destroying objects of that class.

  • Destructors have the same name as the class preceded by a tilde (~).

  • They are called automatically when an object is destroyed or goes out of scope.

  • They are used to release resources allocated by the object during its lifetime.

  • Example: ~MyClass() { delete[] myArray; }

  • Destructors cannot be overloaded or inherited.

A Graduate Trainee was asked
Q. What is a constructor?
Ans. 

A constructor is a special method that is used to initialize objects of a class.

  • Constructors have the same name as the class they belong to.

  • They are called automatically when an object of the class is created.

  • They can be used to set default values for object properties.

  • Constructors can be overloaded to accept different parameters.

  • Example: public class Car { public Car() { // constructor code here } }

Ans. 

Questions related to data structures, memory management, programming languages, and computer architecture.

  • Linked list is a dynamic data structure while array is a static data structure.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Most interviews progress depending on what is being highlighted/ stressed by you. Highlight things accordingly in resume and during interviews. My interview was focused on advanced VLSI electives/projects as I highlighted them during the interview and in resume.
Tips: CG cut-off: CG is a factor but nothing rigid above 8 would be useful. Generally long
shortlists are released. Therefore, selection is extremely dependent on interviews.

General Tips: Intel HR Interviews mostly concentrate on ethics. Make sure all replies are ethically correct. Work environment - one of the top 3 best places to work in India. Good employee care.
Note: Sometimes the HR interviews are taken by tech interviewers themselves. There is not always
an independent panel for HR interviews.
