3,798 c engineer interview questions shared by candidates

It's not allowed to share the questions, but you can expect deep knowledge of memory allocation and auto casting type definition, most of the questions are about these subjects. An example of easy question would be: geek = make_tuple('a', 10, 15.5); auto a = get<0>(geek) auto b = get<1>(geek); auto c = get<2>(geek) which kind of type is a, b, c? Or maybe they could ask, what is the result of a+b+c

Sample coding problems peppered with questions on on C++ and object-oriented design that built on the code being written. Examples are alternative approaches and the benefits or trade-offs associated with them. Lots of questions on memory management.

What happens in the memory at the backend from code compilation to execution? If you know the process ID, which command would you use to kill the process? Given a large dataset where you know the data and their IDs, which data structure would you prefer for searching? Which one have you used—SQL or NoSQL? Which is better and why? What is indexing? How does it help in searching when we don’t know the primary key or specific details?
