Ans: find out??

3> c/c++ section: questions on c/c++, programs o/p etc.

{

unsigned int i=3;

while( i >=0)

printf( "%d", i--);

}

how many times will the printf stmt be executed?

a)0 b)3 c)4 d)infinite

Ans: I think the answer is infinite, b'cos 'i' is an unsigned integer and it will not decrement below '0' and hence end up in an infinite loop.(yes, i checked and it is getting stuck in an infinite loop)

2) main( )

{

int x,y, z;

x=2;

y=5;

z= x+++y;

printf("%d %d %d", x, y z);

}

a)3 5 7 b)option 2 c)option 3 d)option 4

Ans: a

3) # define swap(a,b) temp=a; a=b; b=temp;

main( )

{

int i, j, temp;

i=5;

j=10;

temp=0;

if( i > j)

swap( i, j );



printf( "%d %d %d", i, j, temp);

}

Ans: On compiling i got ans 10, 0, 0. I did not understand the concept. Please expalin this to me.

HP paper 21 Oct 2003


there were 3 sections
PART- 1 --> 40 q's (Fundamental computer Concepts, includes OS,N/w , protocols)
PART-2 --> 20 q's (Purely C ) -- bit tricky (involves ADA concepts)
PART-3 --> 20 q's (Analytical) --- very easy

I don't remeber all the q's.however some of them which i do have been written below.
They r not in order or part of .

Q : What is not a part of OS ?
O : swapper,compiler,device driver,file system.
A : compiler.

Q : what is the condition called when the CPU is busy swapping in and out pages of
memory without doing any useful work ?
O : Dining philosopher's problem,thrashing,racearound,option d
A: thrashing.

Q : How are the pages got into main memory from secondary memory?
DMA, Interrupts,option3, option 4
A : as far as i know its Interrupts --by raising a page fault exception.

Q : What is the use of Indexing ?
O : fast linear access, fast random access, sorting of records , option 4
A : find out....

Q : in terms of both space and time which sorting is effecient.(The question is
rephrased .)
O : merge sort, bubble sort, quick sort, option 4
A : find out

which case statement will be executed in the following code ?

main()
{
int i =1;
switch(i)
{
i++;
case 1 : printf ("");
break;

case 2 : printf("");
break;
default : printf("");
break;
}
}

Answer : Case1 will only be executed.

struct time {

char * day ;
int * mon ;
int * year ;
} * times;

Options : *(times).day, *(times->day), *times->*day.

Answer : *(times->day) -- after the execution of this statement compiler generates
error.i didn't understand why.can anybody explain.

Q: The char has 1 byte boundary , short has 2 byte boundary, int has 4 byte boundary.
what is the total no: of bytes consumed by the following structure:

struct st {
char a ;
char b;

HP Paper 15 Sep 2003

HP Q Paper Pattern:
48Q 1 hr
12Q General Knowledge
12Q General CSE
12Q C and C++
12Q Java

The q's r as follows:-


1. Which of the foll is not a protocol.

HTTP PIM PSI

A> PSI (check)

2> Which of the foll does not help security.

Good Password
Update Antivirus
VLAN

A> VLAN

3> What was the prob with Intel Processor

Cache
FPU
NONE
A> FIND OUT AND LET ME KNOW


Q.# define swap(a,b) temp=a; a=b; b=temp;
main( )
{
int i, j, temp;
i=5;
j=10;
temp=0;
if( i > j)
swap( i, j );
printf( "%d %d %d", i, j, temp);
}

Ans: On compiling i got ans 10, 0, 0. I did not understand the concept. Please expalin this to me.

and...the answer fot ur question is
first preprocessor will modify ur code before compilation...so
the #define swap will be substituted in the line no.6 of the
main...so ur code will become like this before compilation...

line 1: int i, j, temp;
line 2: i=5;
line 3: j=10;
line 4: temp=0;
line 5: if( i > j)
line 6: swap( i, j );
line 7: printf( "%d %d %d", i, j, temp);
because of preprocessor, line 6 becomes
temp=i; i=j; j=temp;
so...this is equivalent to
temp=i;
i=j;
j=temp;
hence...ur overall main becomes
int i, j, temp;
i=5;
j=10;
temp=0;
if( i > j)
temp=i;
i=j;
j=temp;
printf( "%d %d %d", i, j, temp);
and...now i think u will know why the answer was 10, 0, 0 ..

HP has 3 rounds
1.Preliminary-consists of 4 sections namely english,reasoning,aptitude and comprehension.

English-just preliminary consisting of articles,jumbled up sentences, antonyms & synonyms etc.

Reasoning-this is the part which most students found to be the tough eventhough half of the questions were very easy.
I will specify the ones which were tough-venn diagram puzzles,the type of problems were one has to decide if the person is to be selected, rejected or referred (refer R.S.aggarwal),clock puzzles, cube(which part is painted etc)

Aptitude-just prelimanariesvolving time & distance, binary numbers, clocks, simple but lenghy mathematical calculations.

Conprehension-Apassage from MIcroprocesor was given from which conclusion was to be drawn.It was a tough one.

2. Technical Interview-Just simple questions involving-C,C++,DBMS(must),SQL,
software engg,d.s.(I was asked from this fields).

3. HR-Lengthy(for me it was approximately 40 min) but quite cordial.Just general questions like family background,hobbies(write this properly in the biodata as many questions to from my biodata),last movie seen it's story,last boog read and so on.

The major eliminating round was the prelimanary section.
