2. He gave me a set of assembly level instructions and asked me to write a C++ code for parsing it and create a compiler. Left me for almost 25-30 min to solve it. Once I wrote some code, he had a series of questions like why did you use a character array and why not a linked list, stack or queue? He asked to come up with a better solution. I told him that we can also use a hash table, he asked me the reasons.
3. He asked me to explain a project of mine and grilled me there with a series of questions.
