Process

I met a Bloomberg employee at a University at Buffalo career fair.

The interviewer asked:

"Which is your favorite language?"

My response was: "C."

Then, they asked: "What is the difference between int and int* memory allocations?"

I answered: "One is allocated on the stack and the other on the heap."

One more question was:

c void foo() { foo(); }

int main() { foo(); return 0; }

"What does this do?"

He seemed satisfied and scheduled an interview. (Interview not yet completed.)

Was this helpful?
