A Senior Software Engineer was asked 3mo ago
Q. Explain structures in C++.
Ans. 

Structures in C++ are user-defined data types that group related variables under a single name.

  • Structures can contain different data types: e.g., struct Person { int age; char name[50]; };

  • Access members using the dot operator: e.g., Person p; p.age = 30;

  • Structures can be nested: e.g., struct Address { char city[50]; }; struct Person { Address addr; };

  • Structures can be passed to functions: e.g., void printPerson(Pe...

Q. Explain an efficient sorting algorithm.
Ans. 

Efficient sorting algorithms organize data with minimal time complexity, enhancing performance in various applications.

  • Quick Sort: Divides the array into sub-arrays and sorts them recursively. Average time complexity is O(n log n).

  • Merge Sort: Splits the array into halves, sorts them, and merges them back. Time complexity is O(n log n) in all cases.

  • Heap Sort: Utilizes a binary heap data structure to sort elements. ...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked 4mo ago
Q. Explain modern C++ features.
Ans. 

Modern C++ introduces features like smart pointers, lambda expressions, and concurrency support for safer and more efficient code.

  • Smart Pointers: Use of std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr for automatic memory management.

  • Lambda Expressions: Anonymous functions for cleaner and more concise code, e.g., auto add = [](int a, int b) { return a + b; };

  • Range-based for loops: Simplifies iteration over containers, e.g., fo...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked 4mo ago
Q. How do you approach problems?
Ans. 

I approach problems methodically, breaking them down into manageable parts and leveraging collaboration and research.

  • Identify the problem clearly: For example, if a feature is not working, I first replicate the issue to understand its scope.

  • Break down the problem: I decompose complex issues into smaller tasks, like isolating components in a microservices architecture.

  • Research and gather information: I consult docu...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked 5mo ago
Q. How does the CAN TP (Controller Area Network Transport Protocol) work?
Ans. 

CAN TP is a protocol used for transferring large data packets over Controller Area Network.

  • CAN TP breaks large data packets into smaller segments for transmission

  • It uses flow control mechanisms to ensure all segments are received and retransmits if necessary

  • CAN TP is commonly used in automotive and industrial applications

A Senior Software Engineer was asked 5mo ago
Q. Explain the AUTOSAR layer.
Ans. 

AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture) is a standardized software architecture for automotive systems.

  • AUTOSAR is a layered architecture consisting of four layers: Application Layer, Runtime Environment (RTE) Layer, Basic Software Layer, and Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL).

  • Each layer in AUTOSAR has specific responsibilities and interfaces with other layers to ensure modularity and reusability of sof...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked 11mo ago
Q. What are the differences between LINQ's First and Single methods?
Ans. 

LINQ's First and Single methods retrieve elements from collections, with distinct behaviors for handling multiple results.

  • First() returns the first element of a sequence or throws an exception if the sequence is empty.

  • Example: var firstItem = myList.First();

  • Single() returns the only element of a sequence or throws an exception if the sequence is empty or contains multiple elements.

  • Example: var singleItem = myList....

A Senior Software Engineer was asked
Q. Can you discuss your code and experience with microservices?
Ans. 

Discussing code and microservices involves architecture, communication, and deployment strategies.

  • Microservices architecture allows for independent deployment of services, enhancing scalability.

  • Example: An e-commerce platform can have separate services for user management, product catalog, and payment processing.

  • Communication between microservices can be achieved using REST APIs or message brokers like RabbitMQ.

  • Ex...

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
