Interview Questionnaire 

44 Questions

  • Q1. Tell me about yourself
  • Q2. What is your goal?
  • Q3. Find whether no. is even or odd…(I gave mod2 solution)
  • Ans. 

    The solution to determine whether a number is even or odd is to use the modulus operator with 2.

    • Use the modulus operator (%) to find the remainder when the number is divided by 2.

    • If the remainder is 0, the number is even. Otherwise, it is odd.

    • Example: 7 % 2 = 1, so 7 is an odd number.

    • Example: 10 % 2 = 0, so 10 is an even number.

  • Q7. What are sockets, pipes, inter-process communication?
  • Ans. 

    Sockets, pipes, and inter-process communication are mechanisms used for communication between processes.

    • Sockets are endpoints for sending and receiving data across a network. They enable communication between processes running on different machines.

    • Pipes are a form of inter-process communication that allows communication between processes running on the same machine. They provide a unidirectional flow of data.

  • Q8. What is little endian and big endian?
  • Ans. 

    Little endian and big endian are two ways of storing multi-byte data types in computer memory.

    • Little endian: least significant byte is stored first

    • Big endian: most significant byte is stored first

    • Example: In little endian, the number 0x1234 is stored as 0x34 0x12

    • Example: In big endian, the number 0x1234 is stored as 0x12 0x34
