Software Engineer Interview Questions

I Software engineer scrivono i programmi per progettare e sviluppare software informatici. I colloqui sono prettamente tecnici, quindi preparati ad affrontare problemi di programmazione e rompicapi matematici. Le domande specifiche che ti saranno poste dipenderanno dal tipo di posizione che stai cercando nell'ambito della programmazione. Prova a fare le dovute ricerche su una disciplina software specifica, come lo sviluppo si siti web, di applicazioni o di sistemi.

Domande tipiche dei colloqui per Software engineer e come rispondere

Question 1

Domanda 1: Come descriveresti il tuo processo di programmazione?

How to answer
Come rispondere: Nel rispondere a una domanda sul processo o ciclo di vita per lo sviluppo e la progettazione di un software, è utile descrivere tutti i passaggi, a partire dall'ottenimento dei requisiti per il prodotto finale. Includi quanti più dettagli possibile per dare all'intervistatore maggiori informazioni su eventuali lavori svolti in qualità di Software engineer e su come hai gestito gli incarichi, così da dimostrare che sei in grado di affrontare un progetto dall'inizio alla fine.
Question 2

Domanda 2: Quali linguaggi di programmazione conosci e preferisci?

How to answer
Come rispondere: L'intervistatore vuole sapere quali linguaggi di programmazione conosci meglio e quali preferisci. Non esiste una risposta giusta o sbagliata a questa domanda, il cui scopo è invece ottenere informazioni approfondite sulle tue capacità e competenze di programmazione. Se nell'offerta di lavoro per la quale ti stai candidando sono indicate preferenze per dei linguaggi specifici, menzionali quando parli dei linguaggi software che conosci.
Question 3

Domanda 3: Parlami di un progetto che hai portato a termine con successo.

How to answer
Come rispondere: Nel descrivere un progetto che hai portato a termine con successo, è utile individuare gli aspetti che hanno funzionato e descrivere in dettaglio i diversi elementi delle attività svolte. Puoi descrivere il team con il quale hai lavorato, il modo in cui hai gestito i tempi e il contributo specifico che hai apportato.

Given a string of format '2+3*2-1', calculate and return the result. No parenthesis in the input, just integers and + - * / operators. Operator precedence has to be considered. Linear time complexity and minimal data structure use is preferred.

Given a triangle, determine if its a scalene, equilateral, isosceles or neither... required knowledge of triangle properties, I learnt these properties about two decades ago so ofcourse I was fuzzy on the details, completely unexpected

Imagine you have a string and you want to return False if there are repeat characters in this string, what are the fastest and most space efficient ways to do this. (I clarified and he only wanted to return False if there was a repeat letter or number)

1st question : 210 points. Write a program to simulate a keyboard with given keys and their operation. You need to print the final text to STDOUT. Type of Keys: Each key affects the movement of the cursor on editor. The cursor position is identified by row and column. alpha numeric space => this key inserts their respective symbol at cursors position and shift cursor. @ => [CAPS Lock] toggles caps lock, i.e., if CapsLock is 'ON' after this key press it will be 'OFF' and vice versa. Initially CAPS Lock in 'OFF'. # => [ENTER/New Line] inserts a new line character at cursor position and shift cursor position. < => [LEFT arrow] moves cursor to one step left (if available). If cursor is at the starting of the row, it moves to end of the row above (if available). > => [RIGHT arrow] moves cursor to one step right (if available). If cursor is at a row end it moves to starting of the row below (if available). / => [Backspace] deletes one character from the left of the cursor and move cursor one step left. It follows same direction rules as LEFT arrow key (<). ? => [Down arrow] If cursor is on last row nothing changes. The cursor moves to original column in next row if there are not enough characters in next row, cursor shifts to the end of the new row. Note: If key is pressed continuosly original column will not change with every key press. ^ => [UP arrow] If cursor is on first row nothing changes. The cursor moves to the original column (current) of the previous row, if there are not enough characters in previous row cursor shifts to the end of the previous row. Note: If key is pressed continuosly original column will not change with every key press. Example: Input: asdf#q#pqr^^23 Output: asd23f q pqr Input: One line of input characters (as defined above). Output: The formatted text. Example 1: Input asdf1# @qwe^23 Output asdf231 QWE Example 2: Input asdf1#@ qwe<<<//23 Output asdf123QWE Explanation: asdf1 prints asdf1 asdf1 # inserts new line character after asdf1 @ qwe switches caps lock from off to on and inserts QWE asdf1 QWE <<< shifts cursor position 3 position left // deletes 2 character (space and new line) from left of Q character asdf1QWE 23 inserts 23 from current cursor position asdf123QWE
