Tell me about yourself. Give me an overview of all the projects mentioned in your resume. Explain to any one of them, which technologies you used. What is the data structure you implemented in it? Explain the approach and Code (Just the required functions) on any text editor: Add 1 to a number represented in the linked list and return the updated linked list. I have explained the 2 approaches and also written the functions. Given a set of characters, generate its power set. E.g. for set {a,b,c} : powerset will be: [ {}, {a},{b},{c},{a,b},{b,c},{a,c},{a,b,c} ]. Initially stuck for some strings, but after hint, I covered the logic. One logic was by using recursion. Another logic is the Binary. e.g 0 1 1 means {b,c}. Approach to implement LRU cache Explain All the OOPS concepts. Some Language-based questions like What are the types of constructors in C++ (My preferred language) From OS, what are semaphores, deadlock, and its conditions? Solve the hourglass puzzle.I will suggest going through all these puzzles.

C test: 2 set of functions to implement in C within 1.5 hrs. Not very difficult if you are a regular hands-on programmer Interview questions: low level firmware steps to implement data acquisition using 8 channel ADC. How ADC works? How to implement firmware update scheme? How to differentiate valid binary image and malicious one (hint: use signature authentication)? Some irrelevant questions like: how will you implement sudoku in C, logic to implement VI editor How will you recover if a process is crashed while holding a mutex and another process is waiting on it (this is very specific to OS and linux solves this using concept of "robust mutex") what are some of the challenging problems you have solved, explain projects
