Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

September 23, 2013
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The manager called and introduced the company and his group.

He spent some time talking about how the company could offer opportunities for smart people.

Then he began to ask me some easy questions on C++:

  • Memory management
  • Smart pointers
  • Virtual functions and how they are implemented
  • Early and late binding
  • Constructors
  • Destructors

...and so on.

Questions

If the constructors of the base and derived classes both call a virtual function foo(), which is re-implemented in the derived class, which version of foo() will be called in a base-class object?
