FAQ Interview

simple programs to ask
================
#STRCAT
#STRCPY
#SWAP
#SUM of Digits


Macros
======
#No of Seconds in a year
#Server IP address
#MIN/MAX of two
#Allocation and deallocation of mem
#FOREVER loop


Declarations
=========
Pointer to int
Array of pointers
Pointer to an array
Struct and Union
Function Pointers

BitWise Operators
=============
how bitwise operators are used in error status flags. ( check declaring bits for particular err, setting more than one error, reading what error occured, clearing the error)



Misc Quetions
==========
#Static, Extern vars and functions scopes
#const
#How do u copy two structs
#Linked lists


===================================================================================================
If he answers 3 out 5 for above questions(except link list) then ask below to judge the depth

#Program to eliminate the duplicate elements in array. (Chk array init syntax, loops, function fomal args)
#Program to reverse the array without using the temp storage array
#Sort array using bubble sort and search using binary.


#Fibonacci Or factorial using recursion. ( Good if he explains the stack flow b/w normal function and recursion)
===================================================================================================

If he answers 1 of above good to go deeper

#List list - Create, add the end, add at the begining, delete, sort

=================================================================================================

if he is 5+ then ask classical typical interview question like

Dictionary creation - Chk the approach, Data structure building, tree formation, binary search on trees. ( This is good enough to discuss for 2 hrs)
