Interviews Questions asked by Accenture, TCS, and Wipro

-
In this blog post, we are going to discuss some of the most frequent interview questions from IT Giants like Accenture, TCS, and Wipro. These companies normally focus on checking the concept and base of students rather than checking exceptional coding skills. So it is quite easy to crack their interview if you have a strong base in computer science. Normally these companies ask simple C Puzzles or conceptual questions in C or C++. They can also ask from JAVA if you have mentioned it on your Resume. Sometimes they also ask about simple Logical puzzles involving out-of-box thinking. They just see your approach to solving problems. I will discuss some of the common questions they ask in interviews.


1) Function and Operator Overloading

This is by far the most common Interview question asked by these companies. You will definitely encounter this question in at least one of your interviews with the above IT companies. So you need to be crystal clear in these concepts
They generally ask the below questions :

a) What is Function Overloading/Operator overloading?
b) What is the need for function overloading?
c) Give some examples of function overloading
d) What are the functions declaration that cannot be overloaded? See Function declarations which cannot be overloaded 
e) Give some examples of Operator Overloading

They normally don't ask big programs in function and operator overloading but make sure that you at least know the simple programs of both. More focus should be on Basic questions

2) Pointers

Next are pointers which are the favorite topics among interviewers generally because students get confused in this part mostly. So you should be very good at the concept of the pointer. Some common questions they will ask you will be :

a) What are Pointers with example?
b) What is the Dangling pointer?
c) What is a Null pointer?
d) What are array pointers?
e) What is a function pointer? See Function Pointers
f) Write a simple program involving pointers

3) Class and Structures

These companies often ask about Classes and Structures. So you need to be clear in these concepts as well. They ask both the concepts classes and structures to make sure that the student knows both C and C++ language and concepts in it well. They will ask you questions like

a) What is Structure/Class?
b) Why do we need a Class in C++
c) Difference between Class and Structures
d) How to find the size of Class and structures? See How to calculate the size of Class
e) What is Inheritance?
f) What is a Virtual Class?
g) What is Abstract Class?
h) What are Constructors and destructors?

The Best place to learn these Basic questions is from the book by Balaguruswamy. It has detailed and easy explanations with examples.

I will post some more Interview Questions asked by these companies in my upcoming posts :-)

Tricky Questions or Puzzles in C

-
This post is about the Tricky Questions   or code snippet in C or C++ asked in most of the Interviews   (See Interview Experience ) by some of the good companies. You may know probably the right concept but it will not strike you at the interview and to crack all those Interview Questions  you should know some of them beforehand. If you are applying for Job related to JAVA then checkout the blog post  Tricky Questions in JAVA . 1) what will be the output of the following Printf function.   printf("%d",printf("%d",printf("%d",printf("%s","ILOVECPROGRAM")))); Ans-ILOVECPROGRAM1321 The above printf line gives output like this because printf returns the number of character successfully written in the output. So the inner printf("%s","ILOVECPROGRAM") writes 13 characters to the output so the outer printf function will print 13 and as 13 is of 2 characters so the next outer printf function will print 2 and then

Number series arrangement puzzles

-
In this post I am going to give the number series arrangement puzzles in which you have to find the next element or missing element in the series of numbers given. These questions are an important part of any technical interviews where interviewer wants to check how fast you can think and deduce connections between numbers. 1. What is the next number in the series? 27  101  91 82 18 17 __ 2. What is the next number in the series? 83  99   1027    1181    12243  __ 3. What is the missing number in the series? 132   3134    5236    7338   __   115312 4. What is the missing numbers in the series? 31 34 __ 37 37 __ 40 40 40 __ 40 40 40 5. What is the next number in the series? 58   1024   2040    4056   __ Click  here  for answers
