Submitted resume at a career fair and was called 4 weeks later. A phone interview was set up, but no job description was provided.

It seems the hiring manager wants to test your knowledge on the fly, with a focus on basics. Questions covered OS concepts, Intel architecture, and coding concepts. When asking about C/C++, the focus was on code debugging aspects. Multiple interviewers were present, likely to discuss specific topics. The interview seemed rushed after a back-and-forth discussion on a debugging scenario, as no particular code was being used. It felt like a "you know it or you don't" situation.

What would you say if you run a program and it crashes unexpectedly? They wanted to know the debugging process you would follow, like using the debugger's step-by-step method. What if only the command line was available?

Questions related to null pointer exception scenarios.
