       Interview

I have attended the Week-End Accenture interview in Hyd. (I am afraid, its not for freshers). I was interviewed for about an hour or so.Here are the various questions:-This interview was conducted for 1 year or more exp. guys in C++.

  1. Firstly he asked me about the project and i was thoroughly grilled.

  2. Then he asked to list the various types of storage classes and asked me to explain the scope & lifetime of each one..
    (Auto,Static,Register,Extern,and also mutable(only used for classes) )

  3. Right shift/Left shift + 1\'s complement concepts then asked me to give the output of this:
    i = 10;
    int j = i >> 10;
    cout<<j;

  4. Then, difference b/w
     char *str = "Hello";
     char arr[] = "Hello";
    he started asking whether following statements get complied or not;
     arr++; // ERROR..its like a pointer constant
    *(arr + 1) = \'s\';
     cout<<arr; // o/p: Hello

  5. struct Date
     {
      int yr;
      int day;
      int month;
     } date1,date2;

    date1.yr = 2004;
    date1.day = 4;
    date1.month = 12;

    now how will you initialize date2 (without member by member assignment)
    ans: date2 = date1;

    diff. b/w c++ structures & c structures

  6. Explain Primary Memory, Secondary Memory, Virtual Memory...etc etc..??

  7. What happens when you run a programme.. he meant what all the basic steps that O/S would take??

  8. Virtual functions/ Abstract classes/ Pointer functions

  9. Asked me to write a recursive factorial prog.

  10. Then he gave me a prob. of inheritance. Asked me how u would invoke a base class member function using derived class pointer( that func is not a virtual func. && no virtual Base class inheritance)
