5,488 software c interview questions shared by candidates

Round 1: Storage classes in C, etc. Basic RTOS questions like priority inversion, semaphore and mutexes, exceptions, Embedded question on I2C, SPI, RS485, PWM, TCP/IP layers, transmission control Second round: started on negative note that we are not like other companies to give you this-that and all, your profile doesn't suit the requirements etc. Asked few RTOS related questions like which RTOS you have used? Asked me to write a c program and then read it out (since it was through VC) lol...

4 tasks in Codility. The first one was about C++ basics like dynamic_cast etc, 4-choice Second one classic parsing exercise in C++ using string, maps, arrays, however very badly specified so that correct solution was simply not feasible in given time, unless you neglect most possible inputs and "go straight to dumbest implementation" that might or might not pass Codility scoring test. Third question is about dynamic programming, in-depth search of cheapest route. Fourth was numerical exercise, relative calculation on angles maybe easy but certainly might be tricky.
