Process

All the questions are from the question bank. It was a very pleasant experience. The interviewer was very nice and even helped me to answer a few questions. I am awaiting the call to Natick.

I have jotted down a few of the questions:

JAVA

  • Difference between final, finally, and finalize
  • Exit condition for the Fibonacci series
  • OOP

Math

  • Find the inverse of a 3x3 matrix.
  • Find the orthogonal vector to A = i + 2j + k; B = j + 2k
  • Find acceleration from velocity

DSP

  • Difference between discreet and continuous delta function
  • FIR vs. IIR
  • DFT vs. FFT
  • The sampling frequency for 3cos(600pit) + 2cos(1800pit)

Matlab

  • Difference between A.' and A'
