Technical Interview Questions













Q.1 Palindrome no?
Ans. palindromes also offer another great string question.
write a function that tests for palindromes
bool isPalindrome( char* pStr )

if you start a pointer at the beginning and the end of the string and keep comparing characters while moving the pointers closer together, you can test if the string is the same forwards and backwards. notice that the pointers only have to travel to the middle, not all the way to the other end (to reduce redundancy).


bool isPalindrome( char* pStr )
{
if ( pStr == NULL )
return false;

char* pEnd = pStr;
while ( *pEnd != '' )
pEnd++;

pEnd--;

while(pEnd > pStr)
{
if ( *pEnd != *pStr )
return false;

pEnd--;
pStr++;
}

return true;
}
Q.2 Red marbles, blue marbles?problem: you have two jars, 50 red marbles, 50 blue marbles. you need to place all the marbles into the jars such that when you blindly pick one marble out of one jar, you maximize the chances that it will be red. (when picking, you'll first randomly pick a jar, and then randomly pick a marble out of that jar) you can arrange the marbles however you like, but each marble must be in a jar
Ans. chance! chance is easy if you know how to do the formula. we know that we have two choices to make. first we'll pick a jar, and each jar will have a 1/2 chance of being picked. then we'll pick a marble, and depending how we stack the marbles, we'll have a (# of red marbles in jar)/(# of total marbles in jar) chance of getting a red one.

for example, say we put all the red marbles into jar A and all the blue ones into jar B. then our chances for picking a red one are:


1/2 chance we pick jar A * 50/50 chance we pick a red marble
1/2 chance we pick jar B * 0/50 chance we pick a red marble

do the math and you get 1/2 chance for a red marble from jar A and a 0/2 chance for a red marble from jar B. add 'em up and you get the result = 1/2 chance for picking a red marble.

think about it for awhile and see if you can figure out the right combination. we had a 50/50 (guaranteed) chance in picking a red marble from jar A, but we didn't have to have 50 red marbles in there to guarantee those fantastic odds, did we? we could've just left 1 red marble in there and the odds are still 1/1. then we can take all those other marbles and throw them in jar B to help the odds out there.

let's look at those chances:

1/2 we pick jar A * 1/1 we pick a red marble
1/2 we pick jar B * 49/99 we pick a red marble

do the math and add them up to get 1/2 + 49/198 = 148/198, which is almost 3/4.

we can prove these are the best odds in a somewhat non-formal way as follows. our goal is to maximize the odds of picking a red marble. therefore we can subdivide this goal into maximizing the odds of picking a red marble in jar A and maximizing the odds of picking a red marble in jar B. if we do that, then we will have achieved our goal. it is true that by placing more red marbles into a jar we will increase the chances of picking a red marble. it is also true that by reducing the number of blue marbles in a jar we will increase the odds also. we've maximized the odds in jar A since 1/1 is the maximum odds by reducing the number of blue marbles to 0 (the minimum). we've also maximized the number of red marbles in jar B. if we added any more red marbles to jar B we would have to take them out of jar A which reduce the odds there to 0 (very bad). if we took any more blue ones out of jar B we would have to put them in jar A which reduce the odds there by 50% (very bad).



Q.3 Surgeons?a one armed surgeon with a hand wound needs to operate on three patients. the surgeon only has two gloves. how can he operate on the three patients in turn without risking exchange of fluids? (remember he only has one arm so he only needs to wear one glove at a time.)

Ans. the surgeon places both gloves on his hand (1 and 2). he operates on patient A. he then takes the top glove off (#2), leaving on the bottom glove (#1) and operates on patient B. then he carefully reverses glove #2, so the clean side is on the outside, and he places it on top of glove #1 which is on his hand, and operates on patient C.

this problem is kind of dumb because how's the surgeon going to change the gloves on his hand when he only has one hand. plus no offense, but how often do you come across a one-armed surgeon (i'm sure there are plenty of one-armed doctors, but a surgeon!?!). anyway, i had to make this problem child friendly and changing the story to the above was the only way to do it. consider for a minute what the initial problem was. the surgeon was just a guy, the patients were women, and the glove was... well, i won't insult your intelligence.
Q.4 you die and the devil says he'll let you go to heaven if you beat him in a game. the devil sits you down at a round table. he gives himself and you a huge pile of quarters. he says "ok, we'll take turns putting quarters down, no overlapping allowed, and the quarters must rest on the table surface. the first guy who can't put a quarter down loses." the devil says he wants to go first.

being the smart programmer you are, you realize that if the devil goes first, he may automatically win. so you convince him to let you go first, which makes your day because you know you can't lose. what is your winning strategy?
Ans. First, put the first quarter exactly in the center of the (perfectly circular) table.

Next, for each quarter the opponent places, place one directly opposite it. That is, place it so that the center of the table is halfway between your piece and the opponent's previous piece.

This will generate a completely symettric (about the center) layout of quarters on the table. This means that whenever the opponent selects a free space to place a quarter in, the space opposite is guaranteed to be free as well. Since we are always guaranteed an open space, we will never lose with this strategy (and thus win when there are finally no more spaces for the opponent to use).
Q.5 Remember to be yourself, know your strengths and be honest with the interviewer 7.Practice is the keys to interviewing
Ans. 35/45

6 Know Your Strengths, Minimize Weaknesses
HR Interview Questions
Q. Where do you see yourself in five years?

Ans. I started out in my profession as a junior clerk while I completed my college studies during the evenings. Once I had my degree, I applied for a transfer to a more advanced position, citing my on-the-job training. This has been my pattern for my career with my past 2 employers. I learn quickly on the job and am willing to take classes and workshops to augment my experience.
Q. What are your short and long term goals?

Ans. The best advice is to be certain to relate your answers to the organization that interviews you. Do not make a point of having goals that cannot be realized there ("I want to work in Paris." Organization is strictly domestic.) If you do your research into the organization, and into what you truly want to do in the future, you will be able to come up with reasonable responses. No one is going to come back to you in five years and chastise you for not meeting these goals! You will not be held to them...it is only an interview and they are interested in how you see yourself (and they want to see you in the job.)

Q. why do you want to leave your current job?
Ans. I guess the answer to this question can be situational:

1.If you are relocating to a new place:My family is shifting to this place and I've been away from my family for a long time and I want to be associated with them since they need me at this time.

2.If a new Job with in the same city and has the same domain to work and you hold good experience with your current employer:

A lil lengthy,please spruce it by u'r self.The idea would be....

Say that you got the opprotunity to work on this domain as a member of the pilot bathc with u'r current employer and you have been a potential resource and have explored a lot on this/gained good experience and exposure and have built u'r subject matter expertise and you wanna learn some thing new/confront new challanges and implement/utilize the knowledge u've built so far in some thing knew adding value to it where you can see your visability of your potential.This new job has come as a great opportunity in your way and you would not just contribute to this role/co. but also learn a lot from the excellent team you would be associated with.

3.Say a better opportunity where you have a platform to perform well/add value and learn more and grow with the co.

In the interview don't degrade your current employer for giving a reason for quitting your co.Remember to project that you have been with winners and this would elevate your image.Talk good about your co... this shows u'r professionalism/healthy relation ship with u'r co./potential and respected resource.

Friends I'm new to this site and this is my 1st association with an HR forum.Please let me know your opinion on the above points shared with you.I'm sure this forum would make me use my grey cells and improve my analytical skills
Q. Why should we not hire you?
Ans. if you find any candidate batter than me.
Q. What day do you go back to school, Henry?&q...
Ans. Henry replied, "Nine days ago,means the present day minus 9 days.
the day before yesterday ,means 2 more day should be minused.
so all together 11 days to be subtracted from the present day.
That day happen to be "three weeks before the second day of term"

so add 3 weeks that is 21 days.so we get 10 days from the present day they spoke.

They spoke on Sunday.So 10 day form Sunday will fall on Tuesday.


Q. Know Your Strengths, Minimize Weaknesses
Ans. My confidence ,hard working ability.I am very much addeptive

Ofcourse we are not having good relationship with Pakistan. Yet we should cut diplomatic ties with them. That will lead other countries to between us. Especially the known superpower, which needs India to come down in wealth as well as in knowledge.

We should not break democratic ties Pakistan or any other country. This thing will lead to destruction of our policies
Views:
I can’t agree with you.why we hav to keep it? What happened in Kargil? Remember that kargil issue only they are trying to break the border very secretly. When they tried that, thats very interesting its when we hav some discussions about the Kashmir problem with pakisthan.



At that time they broke it.and they are still trying to create problems in kashmir.and as an effect of this we hav to spend lot of manpower and money to keep peace in kashmir

Then still how we can keep diplomatic ties with pak

Views:
Pakistan is one of our neighbouring countries. We are going towards good relationship. The situtaion is better than before. We are in a known nation. We should be friendly with all the countries. We should not cut the diplomatic ties with pakistan.



Arshadsalim,



For example, if your mom or dad fights with you, even if you are correct by your way, will you cut relationship with your family? If your brother or sister or friend fights with you, will you cut the relation with them? All will try only to improve the relationship. We should make them to realise that they are wrong and we should be able to make them ourselves. You will bring your mom and dad your side na? Even pakistan is doing much wrong things, we should not cut the ties with them. All the people of pakistan are not bad. Only because of few persons, fights are occuring. When the cricket was stopped between INDIA and pakistan, did you ever think that it will be continued again? When the transport was stopped,did you expect the prevailing situtaion.How much we were enemies?But now,we are coming close na?Like this we will be united again.It may take sometime.But this is not the final.Everything changes according to situtaion.And another thing is that we know only pakistan is doing wrong to us,since they are doing explicitly.But many other countries are doing bad to us secretly.I think explicit is better.So in any case we should not cut the ties.We should change the situtaion.

Dealing with exam anxiety and pressure What are exams? Exams, both formal and informal, are a way of assessing the learning of the students. The exams test the ability of the students in performing specific tasks and form part of the experience of being a student. These are usually a constant feature in the life of a student. These, along with other forms of assessments are designed in a way that will tell the examiner the student’s ability to perform under pressure within a fixed time frame. What is anxiety? According to the dictionary anxiety means a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. It is the displeasing feeling of fear and concern. It is also described as our natural response to threat or sense of an emergency. When exams are round the corner, it is natural and quite common to feel anxious. In fact it is an expected feeling. While a moderate level of anxiety may be a blessing in disguise, too much of it may be detrimental to your health. A little anxiety may help you in concentrating more on your studies, sharpen your skills and give you an extra energy to do better in exams. But if you go overboard with anxiety, then it can get overwhelming and can prevent you from studying well and performing well in your exams. Some common symptoms of anxiety widely observed can be mind wandering, lack of sleep, sweaty palms, dry mouth, fast beating of the heart, eat either less or more than what is required, lack of concentration in anything, a feeling of being sick, etc. So how do you cope with this anxiety? How can you make yourself comfortable and confident about the forthcoming exam? Listed below are some ways in which you can reduce your anxiety and thereby feel less pressured. Make sure you sleep adequately – Getting enough sleep is a must. At your age you require a minimum of 6 hours of sleep. Anything less than that comes under sleep deficit. Sleep deficiency can lead to health problems including lack of concentration which in turn can result in poor performance in the exam. So if you are thinking that you will score better by staying awake and studying, think again. It would be more productive if you get a good night of sleep before your exams. Work on better study habits – Don’t leave your studies for the last minute. Practice your lessons regularly so you don’t have to do all of it right before your exams. Last minute studies can lead to sleep deficiency. (Refer point 1.) Make a list of all the topics to be studied in the order of importance and priority. Then start studying from the top most topic in the list. This will ensure that should you run out of time, you would still have covered the important points. Also follow proper time management. Make sure you calculate how much time you have to study after making provisions for all the works you need to do. This will help you decide how much you can cover, whether you can study in depth or just skim through or just give it one reading. It would also help if you can stay away from TV until your exams are over so that you don’t get distracted. Keep telling yourself that you will succeed – Every night when you are going to sleep, tell yourself that you will do just fine in the exams. Visual yourself successfully completing the exam and doing well. This will help in building your confidence thereby reducing your anxiety. Most important is to stay calm no matter what – if you are too stressed, you will not be able to remember things accurately. If you want to perform well in the exams then it is very important that you stay calm at all times. If you feel stressed or anxious, try to do some breathing exercises. This will help in calming the mind and reversing any stress that you may be feeling. Practice meditation techniques. Last but not the least, always remember that if you believe that you are being judged by your friends and family only on the basis of your performance in the exams, then you are adding to your stress and further pressurising yourself unnecessarily regarding exams. Also it is important to remember that not doing well in an exam is not necessarily the end of your studies or your dreams. It also does not mean that you are a failure. So have confidence and belief in yourself and believe that you can do well. All the best..!!
