1 technical interview on 22 oct 2007

Sir: with hand sacked Hello, I m mr. jha
Sir: tell me abt urself.
Me: said
Sir: why u have chosen j2me and blue tooth technology
Me: as I told in my intro I hve done Blue Presenter system as major project in my last sem., which is based on bluetooth technologies.
Sir, We want to be different from the people thats why we have chosen these technologies.
Sir: wht is this blue presenter
Me: said.
Sir: ur favorite subjects
Me: data structure, database, Uml and Oops concepts
Sir: lets first talk abt ds, What is data structure
Me: said
Sir: why we use data structure
Me: said
Sir: do u know types of data structure, linear and non-linear
Me: I thought, he will definitely ask me abt graph, so I was socked and looking to the sir
Sir: wht is nonlinear data structure?
Me: Sir, Graph and Tree are nonlinear data structures
Sir: How many types of tree do u know
Me: binary tree, avl tree, b+ tree, multi-way tree, balanced tree, and threaded tree.
Sir: which searching algorithms are used for tree?
Me: after sometime, I replied, sir, preorder, inorder and postorder.
Sir: just tell me post order of this tree
Me: said
Sir: explain me, how u get this
Me: explained
Sir: tell me the algo to search the tree level wise
1
2 3
4 5 6 7
o/p? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Me: first I just made a adjancy list and told sir we can get it from this
Sir: tell me how u hve converted this tree into it while I m having only root node address
Me: sorry sir, can I try for other way
Sir: ya sure,
Me: had tried 2-3 times and finally,
Sir: wht happened
Me: sir I got one solution but it produces twice the second level
Sir: while u go to the 3 level it will print it thrice. Just explain me wht u r trying
Me: explained
Sir: just left it. Lets talk abt link list, how to delete a node from linked list
Me: sir, from where start or end or by value
Sir: given me one linked list, told me just delete the node whose value is 3
Me: I have written a code to delete that node
Sir: but it cant work in the case if its first node
Me; tried, really its not working, I tried in other way, but I didnt able to write general code its was very embarrassing for me becoz I love linked list and not able to write this simple code that time.
Sir: tell me the logic
Me: explained, and it was right, I know
Sir: wht r the advantage of C over Cpp?
Me: said
Sir: what is oops concept?
Me: explained,
Sir: what is used in the case of template classes
Me: sir, reusability
Sir: is it oops concept
Me: no sir, Inheritance is used in template classes
Sir: Do u know database
Me: yes sir
Sir: wht is normalization?
Me: said
Sir: why we use de-normalization?
Me: said
Sir: what is ACID?
Me: sir they r properties of transaction, Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and durability.
Sir: Do u want to ask me any question?
Me: I thought I was not cleared the interview?
And I asked sir, in which technologies ur working?
Sir: all, java, .net c, cpp
Me: sir, any suggestion for me, as I m fresher, dont aware of the industries environment
Sir: U hve made good project in ur curriculum, u just do search on net wht new technologies is coming in market. Thats it.
Me: thank u sir, nice to meet u
Sir: wait down the stair and send the next candidate.

I was cleared the first round and called for second technical tomorrow

2 technical
Me: May I come in sir
Sir: yes plz, hve a seat
Me: thank u sir
Sir: looking to my written test sheet and first interview marks, U have asked abt ds, c/cpp and database in first interview
Me: yes sir
Sir: lets talk abt java? From where u hve made final sem project
Me: sir, from college
Sir: tell what is blue presenter system
Me: explained,
Sir: have u use any API or implemented it itself
Me: Sir we have used bluecove API, which is freely available on the net.
Sir java doesnt hve direct support for com, and we have to use third party sw, since we r fresher dont have enough money to invest, we have used vb for com support.
Using socket-server programming communicated java and vb.
Sir: meanwhile another sir has come in the cabin
Sir: sir, he has made a project in bluetooth technology, do u want to ask any questions?
2 Sir: how r u controlling the applications
Me: Sir, we have implemented one client application which is installed on mobile phone and one server application which is running on desktop pc.
2 Sir: how to installed client application on mobile.
Me: sir, just send the jar file to mobile and select that file it ask u, U want to installed the application and follow the instructions.
2 Sir: what is the use of ur application?
Me: sir, while we giving presentation, there is a headeck of synchronization between operator and presenter, or while u want to change the slide u have to come near the PC or Laptop means u r not free to give walk around presentation.

This application free u from this restrictions and walk around presentation improve presentation performance, u can see the list of slide titles on ur mobile, back and forth the slide or even see the slide notes on ur hand.
1 Sir: wht security u hve used in this project?
Me: there is no use of security in this project, only one mobile is connected to pc at a time
1 Sir: let consider I m connected to Pc and shutdown the Pc and some one want to control any application.
Me: sir, using pass key u connected to the PC, its the functionality of bluetooth device.
Sir when u shutdown the system our application is terminated which is running on PC and then mobile application. So, no other person will perform any operation.
Sir: what is J2Me?
Me: said very well
Sir: what is the difference between desktop application and mobile application?
Me: said perfectly
Sir: what criteria r considered while implementing mobile application?
Me: Sir, since mobile application have less memory and power capability, we have to take care of memory, so that performance of the device is not degraded.
Sir: Do u know design pattern?
Me: yes sir, Singleton pattern and factory pattern
Sir: What is Singleton pattern
Me: explained with example
Sir: write the code for singleton pattern
Me: yes sir,
Class A
{
private static A a;
private A()
{}
public static A getObject()
{
if(a.equals(null))
a=new A();
else
return a;
}
}
Sir: what is the difference between equals m/d and == equal to?
Me: said perfectly
Sir: can we use == instead of equals m/d in this code
Me: sir yes
Sir: modify the code
Me: yes sir
Sir: I think it wont return or return is missing in this code?
Me: yes sir, I modified the code
Class A
{
private static A a;
private A()
{}
public static A getObject()
{
if(a==null)
return (a=new A());
else
return a;
}
}
Sir: I want to reduce the line of code and use only one return?
Me: yes sir, I modified the code once more, sir just remove the else and one return
Class A
{
private static A a;
private A()
{}
public static A getObject()
{
if(a==null)
a=new A();
return a;
}
}
Sir: if there r 2 thread running then what happened with this code
Me: sir as a is a static member of class, it is shared among both thread
Sir: but second thread overrides the 1st instance
Me: sir it may happen
Sir: if 2 threads is running simultaneously then, how many times new is called
Me: thinking, I answered sir once
Sir: if at the same time both threads at a==null, both find a==null and create the instance then
Me: I was in dilemma; I remembered its just like a dirty read problem, and after sometime
Sir: think dear, use pen and paper
Me: after that I answered sir, new is called twice, we can avoid this problem using synchronization
Java support 2 types of synchronization semaphore and monitor
Semaphore: when we use synchronized before variables, its called
Monitor: when we use synchronized before m/d its called monitor or using synchronized block
And I modified the m/d signature as
Synchronized public static A getObject(){ }
Sir: synchronized is used before access modifier
Me: no sir, after access modifier, since on page I didnt find space after public I written it before
Sir: what is factory pattern?
Me: I didnt work on it sir, but I know why we use it and what is the utility of it, and explained it with example.
Sir: Lets move to data structure, very simple question
Me: yes sir
Sir: what is the difference between stack and queue?
Me: explained with example
Sir: looking to my written and objective answer sheet, (as I got 5 marks out of 7 in OS), Do u know OS?
Me: yes sir
Sir: what is paging?
Me: I explained whole procedure and why we use paging
Sir: anil, do u know database
Me: yes sir
Sir: what is transaction?
Me: sir, transaction is a logical unit of set of operation, which is execute all operation or none.
Sir: What is ACID?
Me: said
Sir: U wants to work in java or C
Me: sir, its totally depends on organization requirement.
Sir: ya I know but tell me whether java or C
Me: sir, I more interested in java but I dont have problem in C, if organization needs me to work in C, I can do so.
Sir: Ok anil
Me: thank u sir, nice to meet u..
