  • Q2. What is sequential logic?
  • Ans. 

    Sequential logic refers to a type of digital circuit design that uses memory elements to store and process data sequentially.

    • Sequential logic circuits are used to build memory units, counters, shift registers, and other devices.

    • They rely on memory elements like flip-flops or latches to store and propagate data.

    • The output of a sequential logic circuit depends not only on the current inputs but also on the previous input...

  • Q3. What is the difference between mealy and Moore state machine?
  • Ans. 

    Mealy and Moore state machines are two types of finite state machines used in hardware programming.

    • Mealy state machine outputs depend on both the current state and the inputs

    • Moore state machine outputs depend only on the current state

    • Mealy machines have more flexibility but are more complex to design and analyze

    • Moore machines are simpler but less flexible

    • Mealy machines are often used when the output depends on the inpu...

Round 1 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Which is the best sorting algorithm
  • Ans. 

    There is no one-size-fits-all answer as the best sorting algorithm depends on the specific use case and constraints.

    • The best sorting algorithm depends on factors such as the size of the data set, the range of values, whether the data is mostly already sorted or not, and the available memory.

    • For small data sets or nearly sorted data, insertion sort or bubble sort may be efficient.

    • For large data sets, quicksort, mergesor...

I was interviewed before Dec 2020.

Round 1 - Coding Test 

(1 Question)

Round duration - 90 Minutes
Round difficulty - Medium

The timing was from 4:30 pm to 6 pm, so it was quite convenient. The platform was good, the only problem I had was while attempting diagram based questions, as the interface was difficult to understand. The test had three types of questions- MCQ, subjective and diagram based. The major topics from which the question were asked were- sequential circuits(sequence detector), static timing analysis, digital design and computer architecture.

  • Ans. 

    The task is to implement a wildcard pattern matching algorithm that checks if a given wildcard pattern matches a given text.

    • The wildcard pattern can include the characters '?' and '*'

    • '?' matches any single character

    • '*' matches any sequence of characters (sequence can be of length 0 or more)

    • The matching should cover the entire text, not partial text
