Phone interview for C++ software developer:

1. Where does new allocate memory?

In the heap.

1. If Class B inherits from Class A, what member variables get inherited?

Protected and public member variables.

1. What is the difference between a process and a thread?

Processes have their own memory, while threads have a shared memory space. Processes also contain threads.

1. What does the following equal: cpp int x = 5; x++++;

I initially said 7, but the interviewer asked if I was sure and if I had seen this before. I had not, so it was a syntax error.

1. What has a faster lookup to a value at position 5, a list or a vector?

A vector, since a list can be implemented using a linked list.

What does 40 << 2 equal?
