General - Interview

ACCENTURE INTERVIEW

This interview was conducted for 1 year or more exp. guys in C++.

1)  Firstly he asked me about the project and i was thoroughly grilled.

2)  Then he asked to list the various types of storage classes and asked me to explain the 
     scope & lifetime of each one.. (Auto,Static,Register,Extern,and also mutable(only used 
     for classes) )

3)   Right shift/Left shift + 1's complement concepts then asked me to give the output of this:-
      i = 10;
      int j = i >> 10;
      cout<<j;

4)   Then, difference b/w
      char *str = "Hello";
      char arr[] = "Hello";
      he started asking whether following statements get complied or not;
      arr++; // ERROR..its like a pointer constant
      *(arr + 1) = 's';
      cout<<arr; // o/p: Hsllo
      and other questions which i dont remember                    
5)   struct Date
          {
           int yr;
           int day;
           int month;
         }date1,date2;

         date1.yr = 2004;
         date1.day = 4;
         date1.month = 12;
          now how will you initialize date2 (without member by member assignment)                       
          ans: date2 = date1;
          diff. b/w c++ structures & c structures

6)    Explain Primary Memory, Secondary Memory, Virtual Memory...etc etc..??

7)    What happens when you run a programme.. he meant what all the basic steps that O/S
        would take??

8)     Virtual functions/ Abstract classes/ Pointer functions

9)     Asked me to write a recurssive factorial prog.

10)    Then he gave me a prob. of inheritance. Asked me how u would invoke a base class member
         function using derived class pointer( that func is not a virtual func. && no virtual Base class 
         inheritance) And some other Q's which i dont remember now...

I thought my performance was ok if not spectacular.. Anyway guys..this was interview..(1 hour)
