Process
I had two phone interviews after submitting my resume at a career fair. The questions were mostly basic coding interview questions in C/C++. I had anticipated more hardware design questions, but there was only one about an FSM.
Questions
Write a C++ function that returns the second largest number in an array.
Write a function in C that reverses a linked list.
Design an FSM (explain Mealy and Moore machines, and the differences between them).
