How to Communicate with the Interviewer?
at 11:40 PM Labels: Placement / Interview Tips
In any organization, a good communicator is a positive assert and a long-term investment. Hence interviewers gauge the communication skills of the candidates. They may not be very particular about the accuracy of each answer but their primary target is fluently of expression, which you will have to demonstrate with utmost ease and facility while you respond to questions.
Your communication skills are one of the areas that an employer is looking at on the job interview. Many people will go into a job interview and say to the employer, “I have excellent communication skills.” But, if your interview suggests otherwise, then you’re just blowing hot air.
The interview gives you an opportunity to show off your communication skills. Communicating is more than just talking someone to death or listening to you talks. Communicating is a two part process. In an interview situation, you have to use active listening. Active listening basically means paying attention to what the other person is saying. Many people practice lazy listening. This is where you are not paying attention to the person speaking and you’re busy thinking about other things or what you’re going to say.
When the interviewer asks you a question, you can start off your answer by restating the question. This gives you extra time to form your answer.
For example, the interviewer asks, “How would your former employer describe you?”
Your answer would start off as, “My former employer would describe me as…”
When answering a question, keep your answers short and to the point. If you’re telling a story, keep it simple. The interviewer doesn’t need to know the life history of the people in the story. Don’t use slang or a bunch of ump’s and hubs.
Remember, you are trying to demonstrate to the interviewer that you have excellent communication skills. When you use umps and hubs throughout your answers, it signals to the interviewer that you aren’t sure of your answers or you don’t have excellent communication skills.
Practice your answers before the interview. You can’t know every question that he or she will ask you, but with the “most frequently asked questions” section of this website, you’ll be more prepared than most people.
During a job interview, a potential employer asks, “Can you take on more than one project at a time?” If you respond, “Yes,” you may want to rethink that answer. Be specific. Here’s a preferred answer to the question above, “In general, depending upon the type and length of projects, I believe I can efficiently handle more than one project at a time.” Active listening means two things: analysis and response to the message being communicated. An active listener maintains eye contact and good posture with a slight lean towards the speaker. Gestures, appearance, timing, voice responses, facial expressions, spatial distance – all affect how the speaker (or interviewer) interprets thelistener. So a person preparing for a job or work project interview should consider the cultural climate and norms of societyof the interviewer. In short, perceived active listening based on nonverbal signals can vary from culture to culture. Especially in this age of such great cultural diversity, be courteous of others regardless of cultural, sexual or societal backgrounds. If you are a woman and get to a door before a man, open it. If your interviewer doesn’t speak English very welland looks puzzled at your words, go back and explain yourself again in different words and re-establish a good communication exchange. A major part of active listening is paraphrasing. It’s not the same as summarizing. A summary is a shortened version of the original message, focusing on the main point. To paraphrase means to re-state the message in your own words. Active listeners take notes by paraphrasing or restating what the speaker said in their own words, and summarizing main points. A good listener is not the same thing as a silent listener. Good listeners ask questions, even something like, “Is this an accurate statement of what you have said?” to let the speaker know that you understand the message being communicated.

C, C++ Tech Aptitude Questions
Saturday, October 4, 2008 at 1:29 PM Labels: Other Aptitude Papers, Study Materials
Answer:
A modifier, also called a modifying function is a member function that changes the value of at least one data member. In other words, an operation that modifies the state of an object. Modifiers are also known as ‘mutators’.
2. What is an accessor?
Answer:
An accessor is a class operation that does not modify the state of an object. The accessor functions need to be declared as const operations .
Answer:
Template class:
A generic definition or a parameterized class not instantiated until the client provides the needed information. It’s jargon for plain templates.
Class template:
A class template specifies how individual classes can be constructed much like the way a class specifies how individual objects can be constructed. It’s jargon for plain classes.
4. When does a name clash occur?
Answer:
A name clash occurs when a name is defined in more than one place. For example., two different class libraries could give two different classes the same name. If you try to use many class libraries at the same time, there is a fair chance that you will be unable to compile or link the program because of name clashes.
5. Define namespace.
Answer:
It is a feature in c++ to minimize name collisions in the global name space. This namespace keyword assigns a distinct name to a library that allows other libraries to use the same identifier names without creating any name collisions. Furthermore, the compiler uses the namespace signature for differentiating the definitions.
6. What is the use of ‘using’ declaration.
Answer:
A using declaration makes it possible to use a name from a namespace without the scope operator.
7. What is an Iterator class?
Answer:
A class that is used to traverse through the objects maintained by a container class. There are five categories of iterators:
input iterators,
output iterators,
bidirectional iterators,
random access.
An iterator is an entity that gives access to the contents of a container object without violating encapsulation constraints. Access to the contents is granted on a one-at a-time basis in order. The order can be storage order (as in lists and queues) or some arbitrary order (as in array indices) or according to some ordering relation (as in an ordered binary tree). The iterator is a construct, which provides an interface that, when called, yields either the next element in the container, or some value denoting the fact that there are no more elements to examine. Iterators hide the details of access to and update of the elements of a container class. The simplest and safest iterators are those that permit read-only access to the contents of a container class. The following code fragment shows how an iterator might appear in code:
cont_iter:=new cont_iterator();
x:=cont_iter.next();
while x/=none do
...
s(x);
...
x:=cont_iter.next();
end;

Object Oriented Software Engineering (Objectory) (Jacobson 1992).
Object Oriented Analysis (OOA) (Shlaer and Mellor 1992).
11. What is an incomplete type?
Answer:
Incomplete types refers to pointers in which there is non availability of the implementation of the referenced location or it points to some location whose value is not available for modification.
Example:
int *i=0x400 // i points to address 400
*i=0; //set the value of memory location pointed by i.
Incomplete types are otherwise called uninitialized pointers.
12. What is a dangling pointer?
Answer:
A dangling pointer arises when you use the address of an object after its lifetime is over. This may occur in situations like returning addresses of the automatic variables from a function or using the address of the memory block after it is freed.
Answer:
Objects communicate by sending messages Provides response to a message to each other.
A message is sent to invoke a method. It is an implementation of an operation.
14. What is an adaptor class or Wrapper class?
Answer:
A class that has no functionality of its own. Its member functions hide the use of a third party software component or an object with the non-compatible interface or a nonobject- oriented implementation.
15. What is a Null object?
Answer:
It is an object of some class whose purpose is to indicate that a real object of that class does not exist. One common use for a null object is a return value from a member function that is supposed to return an object with some specified properties but cannot find such an object.
16. What is class invariant?
Answer:
A class invariant is a condition that defines all valid states for an object. It is a logical condition to ensure the correct working of a class. Class invariants must hold when an object is created, and they must be preserved under all operations of the class. In particular all class invariants are both preconditions and post-conditions for all operations or member functions of the class.
17. What do you mean by Stack unwinding?
Answer:
It is a process during exception handling when the destructor is called for all local objects between the place where the exception was thrown and where it is caught. 18. Define precondition and post-condition to a member function.
Precondition:
A precondition is a condition that must be true on entry to a member function. A class is used correctly if preconditions are never false. An operation is not responsible for doing anything sensible if its precondition fails to hold. For example, the interface invariants of stack class say nothing about pushing yet another element on a stack that is already full. We say that isful() is a precondition of the push operation.
Post-condition:
A post-condition is a condition that must be true on exit from a member function if the precondition was valid on entry to that function. A class is implemented correctly if post-conditions are never false. For example, after pushing an element on the stack, we know that isempty() must necessarily hold. This is a post-condition of the push operation.
19. What are the conditions that have to be met for a condition to be an invariant of the
class?
Answer:
The condition should hold at the end of every constructor.
The condition should hold at the end of every mutator(non-const) operation.
20. What are proxy objects?
Answer:
Objects that stand for other objects are called proxy objects or surrogates.
Example:
template
class Array2D
{
public:
class Array1D
{
public:
T& operator[] (int index);
const T& operator[] (int index) const;
...
};
Array1D operator[] (int index);
const Array1D operator[] (int index) const;
...
};
The following then becomes legal:
Array2D
........
cout<
21. Name some pure object oriented languages.
Answer:
Smalltalk,
Java,
Eiffel,
Sather.
22. Name the operators that cannot be overloaded.
Answer:
sizeof . .* .-> :: ?:
23. What is a node class?
Answer:
A node class is a class that,
relies on the base class for services and implementation,
provides a wider interface to te users than its base class,
relies primarily on virtual functions in its public interface
depends on all its direct and indirect base class
can be understood only in the context of the base class
can be used as base for further derivation
can be used to create objects.
A node class is a class that has added new services or functionality beyond the services inherited from its base class.
24. What is an orthogonal base class?
Answer:
If two base classes have no overlapping methods or data they are said to be independent of, or orthogonal to each other. Orthogonal in the sense means that two classes operate in different dimensions and do not interfere with each other in any way. The same derived class may inherit such classes with no difficulty.
25. What is a container class? What are the types of container classes?
Answer:
A container class is a class that is used to hold objects in memory or external storage. A container class acts as a generic holder. A container class has a predefined ehavior and a well-known interface. A container class is a supporting class whose purpose is to hide the topology used for maintaining the list of objects in memory. When a container class contains a group of mixed objects, the container is called a heterogeneous container; when the container is holding a group of objects that are all the same, the container is called a homogeneous container.
Answer:
An abstract class is a protocol class if:
it neither contains nor inherits from classes that contain member data, non-virtual functions, or private (or protected) members of any kind.
it has a non-inline virtual destructor defined with an empty implementation,
all member functions other than the destructor including inherited functions, are declared pure virtual functions and left undefined.
27. What is a mixin class?
Answer:
A class that provides some but not all of the implementation for a virtual base class is often called mixin. Derivation done just for the purpose of redefining the virtual functions in the base classes is often called mixin inheritance. Mixin classes typically don't share common bases.
28. What is a concrete class?
Answer:
A concrete class is used to define a useful object that can be instantiated as an automatic variable on the program stack. The implementation of a concrete class is defined. The concrete class is not intended to be a base class and no attempt to minimize dependency on other classes in the implementation or behavior of the class.
29.What is the handle class?
Answer:
A handle is a class that maintains a pointer to an object that is programmatically accessible through the public interface of the handle class.
Explanation:
In case of abstract classes, unless one manipulates the objects of these classesthrough pointers and references, the benefits of the virtual functions are lost. User code may become dependent on details of implementation classes because an abstract type cannot be allocated statistically or on the stack without its size being known. Using pointers or references implies that the burden of memory management falls on the user. Another limitation of abstract class object is of fixed size. Classes however are used to represent concepts that require varying amounts of storage to implement them. A popular technique for dealing with these issues is to separate what is used as a single object in two parts: a handle providing the user interface and a representation holding all
or most of the object's state. The connection between the handle and the representation is typically a pointer in the handle. Often, handles have a bit more data than the simple epresentation pointer, but not much more. Hence the layout of the handle is typically table, even when the representation changes and also that handles are small enough to move around relatively freely so that the user needn’t use the pointers and the references.
30. What is an action class?
Answer:
The simplest and most obvious way to specify an action in C++ is to write a
function. However, if the action has to be delayed, has to be transmitted 'elsewhere'
before being performed, requires its own data, has to be combined with other actions, etc
then it often becomes attractive to provide the action in the form of a class that can
execute the desired action and provide other services as well. Manipulators used with
iostreams is an obvious example.
Explanation:
A common form of action class is a simple class containing just one virtual
function.
class Action
{
public:
virtual int do_it( int )=0;
virtual ~Action( );
}
Given this, we can write code say a member that can store actions for later
execution without using pointers to functions, without knowing anything about the
objects involved, and without even knowing the name of the operation it invokes. For
example:
class write_file : public Action
{
File& f;
public:
int do_it(int)
{
return fwrite( ).suceed( );
}
};
class error_message: public Action
{
response_box db(message.cstr( ),"Continue","Cancel","Retry");
switch (db.getresponse( ))
{
case 0: return 0;
case 1: abort();
case 2: current_operation.redo( );return 1;
}
};
A user of the Action class will be completely isolated from any knowledge of
derived classes such as write_file and error_message.

Since I had presented four papers in different places in India I took his attention towards it by telling that one of my hobbies is public presentation, and I supported it with example . He asked me about each and every paper and I took 45 min to explain him all the papers. Then he asked whether I wanted to know anything about WIPRO. I asked him around 11 - 12 questions and he was pretty impressed. The trick was to just to nod ur head and frame the next question in line while he was explaining one question.WIPRO has undertaken a project named “ MOBIO” it deals with biometrics. Since our minor project is on fingerprint recognition I would like to know something about MOBIO. After gaining the billion dollar status Mr Azim Premjee said that appreciation of rupee is a concern. What should be the possible steps so that it no more remains a concern?
U have diversified from soaps to software as well as maintained a constant growth rate.
What is the secret of ur success?
The work culture at WIPRO is great. How do u maintain it?
How do u allocate projects among ur employees?
How do u select employees for foreign duty?
What is six sigma strategy and how do u implement it?
In the ex-pression “WIPRO is a CMMi company” , what does ‘i’ signify?
Is SAP associated with you someway ?
Do you have plans to design a ìp better than Pentium 4? (They were the first in India to develop 8086 chip at IISc Bangalore , so I took this chance of asking him the silly question!!!)
