Motorola Engineering Aptitude Paper
There were basically 3 papers -software ,DSP, Semiconductor software paper (20 questions 45 minutes) concentrate more on data structures 10 questions from data structures and 10 from C++ and data structures10 questions were in the fill in the blank format and 10 questions were multiple choice questions.

a)binary tree with even nodes is balanced
b)every binary tree has a balance tree
c)every binary tree cant be balanced
d)binary tree with odd no of nodes can always be balanced
8. Which of the following is not conducive for linked list implementation of array

d)reintrepret_cast
10. Which of the following is true abt AOV(Active On Vertex trees)
a)it is an undirected graph with vertex representing activities and edges representing precedence relations
b)it is an directed graph "" "" """ "" "" "" "" "" "
11. Question on worst and best case of sequential search
12.question on breadth first search
13. char *p="abcdefghijklmno"
then printf("%s",5[p]);
14. what is the error
struct { int item; int x;}
main(){int y=4; return y;}
error:absence of semicolon
15. Which of the following is false regarding protected members
a)can be accessed by friend functions of the child
b) can be accessed by friends of child's child
c)usually unacccessible by friends of class
d) child has the ability to convert child ptr to base ptr
16. What is the output of the following
void main()
{
int a=5,b=10;
int &ref1=a,&ref2=b;
ref1=ref2;
++ ref1;
++ ref2;
cout<<a<<b<<endl;
}value of a and b
a)5 and 12
b)7 and 10
c)11 and 11
d)none of the above
17. What does this return
f(int n)
{
return n<1?0:n==1?1:f(n-1)+f(n-2)
}
hint:this is to generate fibonacci series
code for finding out whether a string is a palindrome,reversal of linked list, recursive computation of factorial with
blanks in the case of some variables.we have to fill it out
18. for eg; for palindrome
palindrome(char * inputstring)
{
int len=strlen ( ?);
int start= ?;
end =inputstring + ?-?;
for(; ?<end && ?==?;++ ?,--?);
return(?==?); }
we have to replace the question marks(?) with corresponding variables
19 .linked list reversal
Linked (Link *h)
{
Link *temp,*r=0,*y=h;
while(y!= ?) (ans:Null)
{
temp = ?;(ans:y->next)
some code here with similar fill in type
}
fill in the blanks type question involving recursive factorial computation
