stuff.
For me 2 people interviewd. As I told them that I am strong in C
they told me to write some programs like double linked list, singly
linked list(adding node at last), macros, const *,char *,pointer
arrays.
The main question that they asked was how can u compile or
execute 'c' program without editor. (Using TCC utility)
coming 2 cpp only 1 question i.e what is polymorphism.
Java they asked me about protocol used in JSP, which layer does it
belongs to, main differences between _Javascript ,java and JSP.
During personal introduction try to excell your capabilities by
giving examples like as fast learner, hard worker like..!
If u have any achievements & awards try 2 put them all during
personal INtroduction.
