Software Engineer Intern

Interview Questions
Name

Position applied for

Date

Start Time

Environment Cross-platform (Linux, Windows, macOS, and iOS)

Compiler C++ 14/17


1 - Point out as many bugs as possible in the following code.

#include <vector.h>

void main(int argc, char** argv){

int n;

if(argc > 1)

n = argv[0];

int* stuff = new int[n]; ((if n=0))

vector<int> v(100000);
delete [] stuff;

return 0;

2 - What is the output of the following program?


int* foo(){

int k = 3;

k++;

return &k;

void main()

int* p = foo();

printf(“Out = %d, ”, *p);


}

// 4 expected, but gives segmentation fault since ptr is to local variable

3 - What is the output of the following program?

void main(){
static int data[] = {0,1,2,3,4};

int* p[] = {data, data+1, data+2, data+3, data+4};

int** ptr = p;

ptr++;

printf(“\n %d %d %d”, ptr-p, *ptr-data, **ptr);

*ptr++;

printf(“\n %d %d %d”, ptr-p, *ptr-data, **ptr);

*++ptr;

printf(“\n %d %d %d”, ptr-p, *ptr-data, **ptr);


++* ptr;

printf(“\n %d %d %d”, ptr-p, *ptr-data, **ptr);

// Output? - based on sequence of operators, increment is first, then dereference

// 1 1 1

// 2 2 2

// 3 3 3

// 3 4 4

4 - Can you bypass the password protection without

providing the right password? If yes, how?

#include<stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]){

int flag = 0;

char passwd[10];

memset(passwd, 0, sizeof(passwd));

strcpy(passwd, argv[1]);

if(0 == strcmp("rapsodo", passwd))

flag = 1;

if(flag)

printf("\n Pwd matched \n");


else

printf("\n Wrong Pwd \n");

return 0;

// Attack the strcpy by overflowing the stack buffer by providing an input of longer length

// which will overflow the stack and overwrite the value of flag

// input "aaaaaaaaaaa" will crack the password

// Program needs to be compiled with stack protector disabled -fno-stack-protector

5 - Can static variables be declared in a header file in a C program? What happens when such a
header file is included from multiple source files?
6 – What is the difference between an abstract class and interface?
7 – How would you investigate a memory leak in C++?
8 – What are virtual and pure virtual functions?
9 – What is the l-value and r-value reference?
10 – What are the move constructor and assignment, what are their purposes?
