Software Engineer Software Developer Interview Questions

419,591 software engineer software developer interview questions shared by candidates

The first question is two find the largest and second largest value at each level of a binary tree. You don't need to return all values, just print out instead. the second question is to return a value in an array with the probability proportional to the weight of the value within the array. For example, in an array [4,5,6], return 4 with probability 4/15, 5 with 5/15 and 6 with 6/15. You are given a function that returns a random real number between 0 and 1

In most cases you need to have some experience with CUDA. If you want to increase your chances of getting a job offer you need to know very well about linked lists. We used the collabedit.com for the interview. It is like a chat but for coding. I got the following question on the screen of collabedit: // There is a chunk of memory in the kernel address space represented by kernelResource and an API exists to clear it. An IOCTL path exists to take a request from user-mode and using O/S services eventually dispatches to API_ZeroResource. From a security perspective what concerns do you have with this implementation? How would you fix them? // // KERNEL // BYTE kernelResource[10] = {0}; int API_ZeroResource( in_params *pParams ) { if (pParams->offset + pParams->length > sizeof(kernelResource)) return ERR_INVALID_LIMIT; memset(kernelResource + pParams->offset, 0, pParams->length); return 0; } // // USER // void ZeroResource() { in_params params = { ??? }; // an ioctl path exists to call API_ZeroResource ioctl( CMD_ZeroResource, &params ); }
