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.

  • Q4. Then he asked about machine cycles required registers required ….what exactly happens at os level…….then drawbacks of all these…
  • Q5. So asked to give another solution to do same….so I suggested (X &1)…
  • Q6. He said still it require 1 extra register…. I gave another solution using shift operator
  • 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.

    • Inter-pro...

  • 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

  • Q20. What is process, Thread? What is multi-threading?
  • Q21. Design data structure to implement multi-threading
  • Q22. Can you find maximum stack memory available using above data structure
  • Ans. 

    The maximum stack memory available cannot be determined using the given data structure.

    • The maximum stack memory available depends on the hardware and operating system.

    • It is not possible to determine the maximum stack memory based on the given data structure alone.

    • To determine the maximum stack memory, one would need to consider the hardware limitations and the operating system's stack size limit.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: 4 sections, no negative marking but they had sectional cut-off.Section 1 (C, C++ ):
15 questions.
Mainly questions of type what will be output of following, type of error.(compile time or run time ,etc.) [Do pointers, pointer to functions and OOP concepts in detail]
This section was quite easy.
Section 2 (Operating System):
10 questions.
Questions on deadlock, process scheduling, priority inversion , look-aside buffer memory, etc.
This section wasn’t that easy…..Section 3 (Data Structures):
8 questions.
DSA questions on sorting, searching , graph traversal (BFS n DFS),Minimum spanning tree (Prim and Kruskal algo), Shortest path(Dijkstra’s algo).
Time complexity related questions and applications of all above mentioned topics. No straight forward questions.
Toughest section of apti.Section 4 (Quant):
8 questions.
Questions on probability, series , simple logic puzzles.
Easiest section of apti.
No. of people shortlisted after the aptitude test = 20
Coding Test (2 Questions 30 min)3 questions were there out of which we had to solve only 2
1. Implement stack (push and pop) operations using linked list.
2. Find the first non-repeating character in a given string in O(n) time complexity.
3. Given co-ordinates of two rectangles find co-ordinates of intersecting rectangle.
No shortlist after this
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 43

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 4. What is polymorphism? What is virtual function…? How will you implement if I tell you to develop compiler?
I said, I will maintain a static table to store pointers of virtual functions for each class…so it can be accessed by all objects….and my call to virtual function will be converted as…..
p->fun_ptr->fun()….where p is my pointer to object.(He said this is another use of function pointer)

17. In class of 100 students there are 24 girls and 32 boys….no 3rd gender person…..
I gave him confused look….and asked how it is possible…? He said that is the question…you tell me….and told me to write equation….
I wrote on paper……32 + 24 = 100

    • Stuck-At-0 fault pattern occurs when one input is always 0, regardless of the other input.

    • Stuck-At-1 fault pattern occurs when one input is always 1, regardless of the other input.

    • Inversion fault pattern occurs when the output is inverted compared to the correct XOR gate output.
