287 Interview questions
Variance of sum of two iid random variables is the sum of their individual variances.
Variance of sum of two iid random variables is the sum of their individual variances
If X and Y are iid random variables, Var(X+Y) = Var(X) + Var(Y)
For example, if X and Y are both dice rolls, Var(X+Y) = Var(X) + Var(Y) = 35/12
Find the next greater element for each element in an array.
Use a stack to keep track of elements without a next greater element.
Iterate through the array and compare elements with the top of the stack.
Update the stack with the current element if it is greater than the top element.
Binary search in a sorted rotated array with no duplicates.
Find the pivot point where the array is rotated.
Determine which half of the array to search based on the target value and pivot point.
Perform binary search in the selected half of the array.
Binary search in a sorted rotated array with duplicates present.
Perform a modified binary search by checking both ends of the array for duplicates
Handle cases where duplicates are present at the start, end, or middle of the array
Consider cases where the array is rotated multiple times
What people are saying about Qualcomm
Generated clocks through edges are defined by specifying the source clock and the edge on which the generated clock is based.
Specify the source clock for the generated clock
Define the edge (rising/falling) on which the generated clock is based
Use tools like Synopsys Design Compiler to define generated clocks
Cross talk is the unwanted transfer of signals between different components or traces on a circuit board.
Occurs when signals from one trace interfere with signals on another trace
Can lead to signal distortion or errors in data transmission
Prevented by proper spacing and shielding between traces
Example: Cross talk between data lines on a PCB causing errors in communication
Deep copy in C involves creating a new copy of data, allocating separate memory for it, unlike shallow copy which shares memory.
Deep copy allocates new memory for the copied data.
Shallow copy copies the pointer, sharing the same memory location.
Example: For an array of integers, deep copy creates a new array with the same values.
Use 'malloc' for dynamic memory allocation in deep copy.
Deep copy is essential for avo...
Detect endianness using C program
Use a union to create a variable with a known value
Check the value of the first byte to determine endianness
Big endian systems store the most significant byte first
Little endian systems store the least significant byte first
Example: union { int i; char c; } u; u.i = 1; if (u.c == 1) { /* Little endian */ } else { /* Big endian */ }
Count set bits in a number using C programming language.
Use bitwise AND operation with 1 to check if the rightmost bit is set.
Shift the number to the right by 1 bit each time to check all bits.
Repeat the process until the number becomes 0, counting the set bits each time.
Merge two sorted linked lists into a single sorted linked list
Create a new linked list to store the merged result
Iterate through both input linked lists and compare nodes to determine the order in which they should be merged
Update the next pointers of the nodes in the new linked list accordingly

- Q1. What is depreciation?
- Ans.
Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense that reduces the value of an asset over time.
It reflects the wear and tear, obsolescence, or decrease in value of an asset.
Common methods of calculating depreciation include straight-line, double declining balance, and units of production.
Example: A company purchases a machine for $10,000 with a useful...
