Round 1 - Face to Face 

(7 Questions)

Round duration - 60 minutes
Round difficulty - Easy

Technical Interview round with questions on OOPS and OS mainly.

  • Q1. What are Little Endian and Big Endian in the context of computer architecture?
  • Ans. 

    Little and big endian are two ways of storing multibyte data-types ( int, float, etc). In little endian machines, last byte of binary representation of the multibyte data-type is stored first. On the other hand, in big endian machines, first byte of binary representation of the multibyte data-type is stored first.

  • Answered Anonymously
  • Q2. Write a program to determine if your system is little-endian or big-endian.
  • Ans. 
    #include <bits/stdc++.h>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    	if constexpr (endian::native == endian::big)
    		cout << "big-endian";
    	else if constexpr (endian::native == endian::little)
    		cout << "little-endian";
    	else
    		cout << "mixed-endian";
    }
  • Answered Anonymously
  • Q3. What is the volatile keyword in programming?
  • Ans. 

    The volatile keyword is intended to prevent the compiler from applying any optimizations on objects that can change in ways that cannot be determined by the compiler. 
    Objects declared as volatile are omitted from optimization because their values can be changed by code outside the scope of current code at any time. The system always reads the current value of a volatile object from the memory location rather than ...

  • Answered Anonymously
  • Q4. What is the use of a function pointer in C?
  • Ans. 

    In the C function pointer is used to resolve the run time-binding. A function pointer is a pointer that stores the address of the function and invokes the function whenever required.

  • Answered Anonymously
  • Q5. Design a data structure to implement multi-threading.
  • Ans. 

    If you're doing lots of reads and writes on it, a ConcurrentHashMap is possibly the best choice, if it's mostly reading, a common Map wrapped inside a collection using a ReadWriteLock (since writes would not be common, you'd get faster access and locking only when writing).
    Collections.synchronizedMap() is possibly the worst case, since it might just give you a wrapper with all methods synchronized, avoid it at all cost

  • Answered Anonymously
  • Q6. What does a kernel do?
  • Ans. 

    Kernel acts as a bridge between applications and data processing performed at hardware level using inter-process communication and system calls.
    Kernel loads first into memory when an operating system is loaded and remains into memory until operating system is shut down again. It is responsible for various tasks such as disk management, task management, and memory management.

  • Answered Anonymously
  • Q7. What is a storage class in programming?
  • Ans. 

    Storage Classes are used to describe the features of a variable/function. These features basically include the scope, visibility and life-time which help us to trace the existence of a particular variable during the runtime of a program. To specify the storage class for a variable, the following syntax is to be followed:
    Syntax: storage_class var_data_type var_name;
