A Technical Architect was asked 3mo ago
Q. What are the basic concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C++?
Ans. 

OOP in C++ is based on concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction for better code organization.

  • Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods in classes. Example: class Car { private: int speed; public: void setSpeed(int s) { speed = s; }};

  • Inheritance: Deriving new classes from existing ones. Example: class ElectricCar : public Car {}; // ElectricCar inherits from Car

  • Polymorphism: Ability to...

A Graduate Intern Technical was asked 7mo ago
Q. Tell me about computer cache performance.
Ans. 

Computer cache performance refers to the efficiency of the cache memory in storing and retrieving data for the CPU.

  • Cache performance is measured by hit rate, miss rate, and latency.

  • A higher hit rate indicates better performance as more data is found in the cache.

  • Cache misses result in slower performance as data needs to be retrieved from main memory.

  • Latency refers to the time it takes to access data in the cache.

  • C...

An Engineer was asked 8mo ago
Q. Tell me about clock gating.
Ans. 

Clock gating is a power-saving technique used in digital design to disable the clock signal to certain parts of a circuit when they are not in use.

  • Clock gating helps reduce power consumption by stopping the clock signal to unused parts of the circuit.

  • It is achieved by inserting logic gates in the clock signal path to control when the clock is allowed to reach certain elements.

  • Clock gating can be implemented at dif...

An Internship Trainee was asked 9mo ago
Q. What happens if we invert the circuit of an inverter?
Ans. 

If the circuit of an inverter is inverted, it will act as a buffer.

  • Inverting an inverter circuit essentially cancels out the inversion, making it act as a buffer.

  • The output will be the same as the input signal, with no inversion.

  • This can be useful in certain signal processing applications where a non-inverted signal is needed.

An Internship Trainee was asked 9mo ago
Q. Stick diagram for nand CMOS inverter
Ans. 

A stick diagram is a simplified way to represent the layout of a CMOS inverter circuit.

  • Use sticks to represent the diffusion regions of the transistors in the CMOS inverter

  • Draw a stick for the PMOS transistor connected to VDD and a stick for the NMOS transistor connected to GND

  • Connect the sticks with lines to represent the metal interconnects between the transistors

  • Label the input and output nodes of the inverter ...

A Data Science Intern was asked
Q. Explain the ROC curve.
Ans. 

ROC curve is a graphical representation of the performance of a classification model.

  • ROC curve stands for Receiver Operating Characteristic curve.

  • It plots the true positive rate (sensitivity) against the false positive rate (1-specificity) at various threshold settings.

  • The area under the ROC curve (AUC) is a measure of how well the model can distinguish between classes.

  • A perfect model would have an AUC of 1, while...

A Design and Verification Intern was asked
Q. If a left shift is applied to 1011, and an XOR gate connects the first and last bits, after which clock cycle will the output be 1111?
Ans. 

Left shift 1011, xor connected to first and last bit, clk 1111 will be there when 1011 is shifted left.

  • Perform left shift operation on 1011: 1011 << 1 = 0110

  • XOR the first and last bit of the result: 0 XOR 0 = 0

  • The clock signal 1111 will be present when the result of the XOR operation is 0

A Software Engineer Intern was asked
Q. Given the head of a singly linked list, reverse the list, and return the reversed list.
Ans. 

Reverse a linked list

  • Iterate through the linked list and reverse the pointers

  • Use three pointers to keep track of current, previous, and next nodes

  • Update the next pointer of each node to point to the previous node

A Software Developer Intern was asked
Q. Given a linked list, determine if it contains a loop. Return true if there is a loop in the linked list. Otherwise, return false.
Ans. 

To find a loop in a linked list, we can use the Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.

  • Use two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.

  • If there is a loop, the fast pointer will eventually catch up to the slow pointer.

  • If the fast pointer reaches the end of the list, there is no loop.

A Graduate Trainee was asked
Q. Write Verilog code for a D flip-flop.
Ans. 

Verilog code for D flip-flop (DFF) is a fundamental building block in digital design.

  • Use always block to describe the behavior of DFF

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

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

  • Example: always @(posedge clk) begin q <= d; end

  • Q2. Basic questions related to logic gates, memory, cache and computer architecture.
  • Q3. Pseudocode, find errors in the code. What can be output of code
  • Ans. 

    Analyze pseudocode for errors and potential outputs.

    • Check for syntax errors, such as missing semicolons or parentheses.

    • Verify variable initialization before use to avoid null references.

    • Ensure loops have proper termination conditions to prevent infinite loops.

    • Examine array indexing to avoid out-of-bounds errors.

    • Consider data types and conversions, especially in arithmetic operations.

Can speak English, can’t deliver in interviews
I feel like I can't speak fluently during interviews. I do know english well and use it daily to communicate, but the moment I'm in an interview, I just get stuck. since it's not my first language, I struggle to express what I actually feel. I know the answer in my head, but I just can’t deliver it properly at that moment. Please guide me
