section-a
you should write the programs for the following problems in c.
1. swapping two variables x,y without using a temporary variable.

2. a program has been given asking to find the output
ans. it is algorithm for finding g.c.d
3. write a program for reversing the given string.
4. the integers from 1 to n are stored in an array in a random
fashion. but one integer is missing. write a program to find the
missing integer.
ans. idea. the sum of n natural numbers is = n(n+1)/2.
if we subtract the above sum from the sum of all the
numbers in the array , the result is nothing but the
missing number.
5. some bit type of questions has been given on pointers asking to
to find whether it is correct from syntax point of view. and if
it is correct explain what it will do.(around 15 bits).
section-b
answer as many as possible.
6.& 7. two programs on pre-processor directions has been given asking

to find the output.

interview practice
-------------------------------------
practicing for the interview means practicing several behaviors

- not just answering questions. you must dress well, watch
your body language and posture, practice your manners and eye
contact as well as practice answering questions correctly,
smoothly, and with confidence. the practice questions below, in
one form or another, account for a large percentage of
interview questions. with each question, you are given a
series of choices as to how you might answer the question.
when you select an answer, you will learn whether your answer is
correct-and why. answering these questions will help you polish
your interviewing techniques. the questions and answers in
this excercise are generic and, in many cases, must be
tailored to your individual situation. still, the logic behind
the answer remains essentially the same.
why are you the best person for the job? i 've held a lot of
positions like this one, and that experience will help me
here." "because i am good at what i do."
"our discussion here leads me to believe this is a good place to

work."
"you need someone who can produce results, and my background and
experience are proof of my ability. for example..."
if asked a point blank question such as: are you creative? are
you analytical? can you work under pressure? etc. what is
the best way to answer?
answer yes or no.
answer yes and give a specific example.
answer yes and give an explanation.

part of your business appears to be _________ ."

appears to be fit for my career goals."
7. what is a weakness?

about everything.

essential to having open working relationships."
2."i consider myself to be very consistent. i have proven myself

to be someone who can be counted upon to do what is
expected."
3."i would have to chose between two skills. i am very proud of

my determination and ability to get things done. at the same
time, i am very proud of my analytical abilities and problem
solving skills. these skills combine to give me a unique
ability to solve problems and then implement the solutions."
10. how would co-workers describe you?
1."they perceive me as a leader. the people who have worked with

me learned great deal and accomplished in many cases more than
they thought possible."
2."my employees would tell you they got direction when they
needed and the room to work when it was appropriate. i believe
a measure of a good manager is how much he is able to get done
through others."
3."they perceive me as someone who cared about them personally

and had high expectations. i get a great deal of satisfaction
from helping others do their best. my former employees would
highlight three of my priorities which are to build loyalty
and a team environment, obtain results and develop people."

opportunity. could you tell me more about it?"
14. where do you want to be in 5 years?

company such as this one."

15. describe a situation you've encountered with a difficult

customer.

do so."
3."money is not very important to me. i need to be able to pay

the bills but the work environment is far more important to
me."
face to face interview preparation
so you have a job interview, now what?
you have sent out hundreds of resumes and finally a human

resource person calls to schedule a time for you to come in for
a face to face interview. this is a great company, and you
think you are perfect for the job. now, you must demonstrate
that to the hiring authority you are perfect for the position.
here are some pointers to keep in mind when going in for the
interview.
prepare - do not go in attempting to "wing" it. keep in mind

there are lots of competitors for the job, and you will only
have this opportunity to impress the hiring authority.research
and know the company, their history, products, services and
reputation.
prepare answers to questions that will likely come up, like

"what is your biggest weakness?" "what is your greatest
failure?" "describe your best and worse boss?" "tell me
something about yourself?" "why did you leave your last job?"
"how can you contribute to this company in this job?"
there will likely be a longer list of questions, each a

potential landmine that can eliminate you from the competition.
keep your answers short and to the point. do not ramble.
always be honest and avoid negative statements. wear your best
suit - the first impressions of a candidate are lasting. it is
better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. your appearance
will demonstrate that you are taking the initiative. go out of
your way to make a good impression. even if you never wear a
suit to work, even if it is a production job, the interviewer
will be pleased by your effort to impress.
be on time - it is better for you to be early and wait for your

appointment time than to keep the interviewer waiting and
wondering. if you miss your appointment time you may not get
another. if a problem or emergency arises, and they do, call
immediately and explain and offer to come in at another time,
whenever is convenient for the interviewer.
body language - sit up, look attentive, do not cross your arms
or legs make eye contact. interviewers rely on body language to
determine your level of interest.
present a positive attitude - companies seek pleasant and

positive people.
bring extra copies of your resume - you may interview with a

team of people, do not make them share one resume.
avoid smoking and drinking alcohol before and during an

interview. if going to lunch with an interviewer, decline
alcholic beverages even if the interviewer orders a cocktail
with their meal. if you are a smoker, abstain before and during
the interview. smoking can offend many people, even smoking
before an interview can leave an odor which may be offensive to
the interviewer.
do not lead with money or benefit questions in the initial

interview - if your main motivation is money it will probably
turn off most hiring authorities. convince them you can do the
job and want the job before discussing money and benefits.
money, benefits and vacation will come up and can be discussed
should the company wish to make you an offer.
sell yourself - if you don't no one else will. use facts and
figures to quantify your experience and ability. tell them the
things that will benefit the company if they hire you.
show interest in the job - if you act cool they may not realize
that you want the job. companies want someone who is interested
and enthusiastic about the job and the company. don't make the
hiring authority guess if you want the job.
do not close any doors - no matter what you see or hear during
the interview don't overreact. obstacles may come up regarding
money, relocation or other issues that can be resolved later if
you leave the issue open.
getting an offer - if an offer is made to you during an

interview never, reject it outright. ask for time to think it
over to consider money and the specific details of the offer.
always respond positively. if you let them know you want the
job it will be a lot easier to negotiate items like salary
later.
when the interview is over - ask if there are any reservations

about your ability to do the job. deal with these now. ask
what is the next step in the interview process. if you like
the job and want an offer now is the time to tell them. do not
assume they will know if you want the job or not.
follow-up - be sure to send a note letting them know you

appreciate the opportunity to interview and reiterating your
interest in the position. keep the note brief, and to the
point.
1.in my last job i dealt with customers at a retail store. one

customer wanted to return an item she had obviously bought

b) send after encoding
etc.
22. there are three processes a, b, c. a sends data to b. b removes the
header stores it and sends the data to c. c returns it to b. b receives the

sends to a.b receives the messages from c such that atmost 'm' messages
b
are pending.
identify the best data structure.
23. a question in compiler about the heap and stack allocation of memory.

novel network paper
*********************************************
the paper consists os three sections.

1. aptitude 15 questions 20 min.
2. system concepts 20 questions 20 min.
3. 'c' 15 questions 20 min.
note:::::
i'm sendin the questions, somany have no answers. u do check the

answers for all the given questions also.
all questions are multiple choices only.
u do try to cover the related topics to get some understanding.

in interview they are asking c c++ operating system concepts
and networks.
they will ask about ur interesting subjects, u try to have good
grip on those intresting subjects.
they selected 11 out of 55 students.

they asked about c c++ project work and os,networks.
but they selected only 2 , one from cs and another is btech ece.
section 1 is main factor selection to the interview
--------------------------------------------------------------
in the interveiw you should be very active .and should be frank to say
no also.one cs student said that he don't know network and he hasn't
taken networks subject.but he has selected.
ok best of luck.
section 1::::;
*. gre book test paper 3 section 5

question no. 8 to 12 (ships wxyz starting on dec. 23rd..........)
* 5 programs are sheduled from monday to saterday, monday is not holiday,
pqrst are the programs. the day before p is holiday, and some other clues are
given, we have to find the sequence (4 questions)
ans: tuesday is the holiday

p comes on wednesday ,
u can do the remaining very easily.
* suppose u r the presoner, there are two guards who will tell truth or
one will tell truth. there is a gate for liberty and another foe hell.
some questions are given, like

i. are u tell truth?
ii. another tell truth or not??
iii. both of u r telling truth??
iv. both of u lieing??
v. --------------
they gave a. b. c. d. and asking about which sequencing is sufficient to

find the gate for liberty??
( i can't give exact thing)
* there are wife and husband at one side of river. they have one child,
they want to cross the river. the child can't be lonly. the boat boy won't
permit morethan one to cross the river, what is the correct way to
cross the river??
* there are 7 targets, a b and c has to shoot them. all should be shooted
consicutively.
1. the no. of chances for a and b are not less thn 2,
2. for c there is only one chance.
3. a can't shot 3 times consicutively.
4. b is permited to shoot in even chances only.
they have given some 3or 4 questions on this
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
section 3::
1.max value of signed int

a. b. c. d.
2.one questin is given, long one, to find the answer u should be
femiliar
with the operation as follows
int *num={10,1,5,22,90};
main()
{
int *p,*q;
int i;
p=num;
q=num+2;
i=*p++;
print the value of i, and q-p, and some other operations are there.
}
how the values will change??
3. one pointer diff is given like this:
int *(*p[10])(char *, char*)
asked to find the meaning.
4. char *a[4]={"jaya","mahe","chandra","buchi"};
what is the value of sizeof(a)/sizeof(char *)

( we don't know the answer)
5. void fn(int *a, int *b)

{
int *t;
t=a;
a=b;
b=t;
}
main()
{
int a=2;
int b=3;
fn(&a,&b);
print the values os a and b;
}
what is the output--- out put won't swap, the same values remain.
a. error at runtime
b. compilation error
c.2 3
d. 3 2
6.
#define scanf "%s is a string"
main()
{
printf(scanf,scanf);
}
what is the output.
ans : %s is string is string

iii)some green are not white iv) all white are blue
a) he has given four choices like gre type
12)all teachers are students. some students are girls.
this type of questions are there.
we cant able to reproduce them.:wq
1.while((*p++=*q++)!=0){}
is equal to
expl: while((*p++=*q++)!='\0'){}
a) b) c) d)
2.the function strcmp(str1,str2) returns

ans: int
3. int *x[](); means

expl: elments of an array can't be functions.
4.#define print(int) printf("int=%d",int);

main()

x=03;y=-1;z=01;
print(x^x);
z<<=3;print(x); ----> i think here may be (z). for this ans=8.
if (x) ans ix =3.
y>>=3;print(y);
}
expl: 0,8,-1 (if second is z)
5. struct list{
int x;
struct list *next;
}*head;
the struct head.x =100
above is correct / wrong
expl: before using the ptr type struct variable we have to give memory
to that .
and also when ever the struct variable is ptr then we access the members
by "->" operator.
6. '-'=45 '/'=47

it was a formal g.d followed by personel interview.in g.d the toppic was
"internet effect on indian culture."the lucky thing for me was no good
competitor in our batch. first he divided 50 people into 5 batches
and for each batch he given seperate topic.those are 1.computers in
communications...2.g.d is essential for mode of selection.etc
they took 4fellows from each batch.then in my interview heasked the
the first question was what is the differance between cad/cam.that
question i expected i answered very confidently.then i told about
concurrent engg. &reengineering. then they asked about personnel questions.
do interested in further studies etc..again they asked that have you done
any course in computers.actually i have't done any course. i told him
that i operated some packages.that is about auto cad & uni graphics&
pattern. on which platform you used auto cad. on ms-dos.then they asked
what is icon.then about unigraphics i did a minor project on that.
i told some more good on that.so that was my interview.is satyam sec bad
is coming to your campus or only dbss.our joining date is on 1st januvary of
98.what about our potti usha. she got job in which company.convey my best

about the company:(the info here is the opinion expressed by the class members who
attended the interview immedieately after the interview. so take note of this and
it might have been affected by one of senior who is working comments or what ever
it is.take this into consideration.)
this is the right royal screwing company you can get in indian
scenario.it seems they put video cameras to monitor the moments
of the peopl inside the company.their e-mails will be filtered
and you will be doing only testing.you might have to work minimum
12 hours a day to 14hours a day.no perks or facilities.work environment
is good,salary is less compared to avg.industry standard.company
stamp is considered to be best.they won't give the details about
their work .everything is confidential.in the world
everybody is suspect until proved otherwise
for them.they screwed guys in the interviews saying that you people
will be leaving the company.how will you assure us to the contrary?
is their paining repeated question.it seems among 15 persons
in a team in one year itself 10 persons left.that's why i think
they are getting pained.anyway,if you wanna enjoy u'r self this is
not the company for you.if you want the stamp then yes it is the
company.
phani adds
(as on 10/10/96)
that there are no cameras for watching and it seems that he got it confirmed from
one of senior working there called bagi

this is the tcs paper held at iitm.
tcs is as follows.
hai guys
107 members were selected out of 400+ attentd for written and 200+ were short
listed for intv's. 40+ from m.tech 30+ from b.tech and remaining from ms.
intv's for phds are yet to be started.
there is a rumour that, if age is above 24 tcs will not take.

it is absolutely wrong. here they took fellows who having less cgpa and who
does't know minimum basics about compuer knowledge.
so what i am saying is we should have some fate at that time.
