Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had just one on-campus interview.

I contacted them through a career fair. A software engineer from a network engineering team interviewed me for about 45 minutes.

  • The first 10 minutes were spent asking me questions about my previous work experience and projects.
  • The next 10 minutes involved an open-ended question on how to design a coke vending machine.
  • During the last 10 to 15 minutes, he asked technical questions.

Questions

Write a C++ code to reverse the order of words in a string, without using any additional buffer.
