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

Ans.

Little Endian and Big Endian refer to the order in which bytes are stored in computer memory.

Little Endian stores the least significant byte first, while Big Endian stores the most significant byte first.
Little Endian is commonly used in x86 architecture, while Big Endian is used in architectures like SPARC and PowerPC.
Endianness can affect data transmission between systems with different byte orders.

Ans.

Program to determine system's endianness

Check the endianness by storing a multi-byte integer and checking the byte order
Use bitwise operations to extract the least significant byte
If the least significant byte is at the lowest memory address, it's little-endian
If the least significant byte is at the highest memory address, it's big-endian

Q3. What is the volatile keyword in programming?

Ans.

The volatile keyword in programming is used to indicate that a variable's value can be changed unexpectedly.

Volatile keyword is used in multithreaded programming to prevent compiler optimizations on variables that can be changed by other threads.

Q4. What is the use of a function pointer in C?

Ans.

Function pointers in C are used to store the address of functions, allowing for dynamic function calls and callbacks.

Function pointers can be used to implement callbacks in event-driven programming.
They can be used to switch between different functions at runtime.
Function pointers are commonly used in implementing data structures like function pointers in an array of function pointers.
Example: void (*funcPtr)(int) = &a

Q7. What is a storage class in programming?

Ans.

A storage class in programming defines the scope and lifetime of variables.

Storage classes include auto, register, static, and extern.
Auto variables are created when a function is called and destroyed when the function ends.
Register variables are stored in CPU registers for faster access.
Static variables retain their value between function calls.
Extern variables are declared outside of any function and can be accessed

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: written test
Experience: it was elitmus test conducted by the company itself on campus. As per my knowledge only those scoring 90 percentile got selected for round 2.
Tips: Attempt only those ques that are necessary for scoring 90+ in e litmus. Specially in verbal don't attempt more then required questions, though you might be tempted. The aim is not to score max bt to score 90+

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a programming based round. I was asked to write algorithms for various array linked list based problems. There was cross questioning prompting to reduce complexity and to use different data structures for same problems.

Mostly it focused on subjects like c, data structures and ADA.
Tips: Be clear with basic of data structures and algorithms. Pointers, queue, stacks, array linked lists, sorting etc are the keywords.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a information security specific round since that was my major. In depth cross questioning on my thesis topics, honeypots, network intrusion etc. Security certificates, and on the go problems to provide security solution layer wise in different scenarios. Security concept of torrents was also asked in detail.
Tips: It was more of a security discussion and throwing of ideas about how things in a particular case could work or could not. Don't worry about right or wrong answer just be clear with your reasoning about the solution you are suggesting.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: I don't know what to name this round, but it focused mainly on developing test cases for an object. Say they gave me a stapler and said to develop a test plan listing down test cases for a given object to pass so that it can be confirmed that it is a stapler. Another scenario was with a lift.
Tips: This is one round where your presence of mind and inter personal skills matter. I think the way you present your thoughts was most important here.

Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: This was was mostly about how would you react in a given professional situation
Like your assigned work could not be completed on time, or if you are doing something wrong with the work assigned.
Tips: This is all about inter personal skills and putting your best foot forward :)
