I was referred by a friend, each round was mix of coding and systems question and question were easy to medium category, for coding question they don't actually need you to write an executable code but rather more interested in your approach and thinking. They are also interested in how deep your knowledge is in fundamentals

Interview questions [17]

Question 1

a[5] = [10,12,3,4,15] int* const exp1 = &a; int const* exp2 = &a; for ( int i=0; i<5; i++) { print("Value %d", *exp1++); print("Value %d", *exp2++); } what will be the output?

Question 2

int main() { while(1) { char* m = malloc(100); if ( m == NULL ) { print ("Unable to allocate memory"); } } return 0; } what will this code print? when will it stop? which memory is allocated (Virtual or Physical) Memory hierarchy of OS? How malloc works Round 1 Q 2

Answer question

Question 4

Given two unsigned 32-bit integer write a function to find average without using any extra space and return 32-bit unsigned int

Question 5

Define a stack with normal operation such as push, pop, top and a new operation max which always return max element in stack

Question 7

Define memory hierarchy in OS

Given a sorted array A = 1,2,3,4,5, the array can be rotated by k elements e.g. K=2 A=4,5,1,2,3 K=1 A=5,1,2,3,4 K=4 A=2,3,4,5,1 Give a O(log n) solution to find element X in array (The element will always be present in array)

I interviewed at NVIDIA (Tel Aviv)

They asked to talk about some projects I worked on and then also asked two leetcode questions. I answered both questions correctly, although the second one I answered more slowly and the code was not organized but the solution was correct.
