General object oriented programming questions, such as as “what’s encapsulation, function overloading”. Some questions pertaining to C, such as “what’s the difference between structs and unions”, “where does execution start in a C program”. Then finally some basic Linux command line questions, “how to create files”, “how to check system resources”, “difference between grep and egrep”. If you use Linux and know C/C++ you will cruise through the first 2 rounds.
