I had a technical phone interview and was contacted by a gentleman who was very easy to get along with. Although he did have a slight accent which made it difficult to understand him at first, it wasn't a problem later in the interview.

The job qualifications stated:

• A strong understanding of networking topologies, components, standards, and programming was required
• A strong understanding of C/C++ was required
• A strong understanding of data structures and algorithms was required

During the interview, very little time was spent actually discovering how much I knew about networking topologies, components, standards, and programming. A quick question was asked about TCP and setting up a connection, but most of the interview was spent on my mastery of C/C++.

Describe static variables, methods, and members.
