A Senior Software Engineer was asked 7mo ago
Q. How is HIL programming different from normal software simulation?
Ans. 

HIL programming involves testing software with real hardware components, while normal software simulation uses virtual components.

  • HIL programming requires physical hardware interfaces for testing

  • Normal software simulation uses virtual components to mimic real-world scenarios

  • HIL programming provides more accurate results due to real hardware interactions

  • Normal software simulation is more cost-effective and easier t...

An EDG was asked 8mo ago
Q. Write a C program to calculate the dot product of two vectors.
Ans. 

Calculate dot product using C language

  • Use two arrays of numbers to calculate the dot product

  • Iterate through the arrays and multiply corresponding elements, then sum the results

  • Ensure both arrays are of the same length

An EDG was asked 8mo ago
Q. Define the sampling theorem.
Ans. 

Sampling theorem states that a continuous signal can be accurately represented by discrete samples if the sampling rate is at least twice the highest frequency component of the signal.

  • The sampling theorem, also known as Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, is essential in digital signal processing.

  • It states that in order to accurately reconstruct a continuous signal from its samples, the sampling rate must be at leas...

A Software Developer was asked 10mo ago
Q. Explain memory management.
Ans. 

Memory management is the process of controlling and coordinating computer memory, assigning portions called blocks to various programs.

  • Memory management involves allocation, deallocation, and organization of memory blocks.

  • It ensures that each process gets the memory it needs and that memory is used efficiently.

  • Examples include dynamic memory allocation in C/C++, garbage collection in Java, and virtual memory manag...

A Software Developer was asked 10mo ago
Q. Explain polymorphism.
Ans. 

Polymorphism is the ability of a single function or method to operate on different types of data.

  • Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.

  • There are two types of polymorphism: compile-time (method overloading) and runtime (method overriding).

  • Example: Inheritance in object-oriented programming languages like Java allows for polymorphism.

An 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 by changing the next pointers of each node to point to the previous node.

  • Start with three pointers: current, previous, and next.

  • Iterate through the list, updating the next pointer of each node to point to the previous node.

  • Update the previous, current, and next pointers for each iteration.

A Technical Writer was asked
Q. How can you manage to meet multiple timelines in a collaborative environment?
Ans. 

I prioritize tasks, communicate effectively, delegate when necessary, and use project management tools to track progress.

  • Prioritize tasks based on deadlines and importance

  • Communicate regularly with team members to ensure everyone is on track

  • Delegate tasks when necessary to ensure all deadlines are met

  • Utilize project management tools like Trello or Asana to track progress and deadlines
