1. Written test- 50 questions to be attempted in 1 hour. Aptitude, basic understanding of C and electronic engineering concepts are tested. 2. HR interview- a random technical topic is allotted, and you're given time to prepare for a discussion about the topic. This is done to test your ability to comprehend technical details in a short duration, language and presentation skills. Discussion is followed by regular HR questions. Tech interview- I was asked to write a program on bits and arrays with some questions about random C topics.

Describe & implement the function memcmp with the signature: bool memcmp(int[] a, int[] b). It should decide whether all the elements of a and b are equal, assume a and b are of the same length N for some N > 0. memcpm is required to run exactly the same code flow for all possible inputs (e.g. no return should be called until ran over all N array elements, even of non-equal elements have already been found).
