Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online via the website.

Received a call from a staffing coordinator within a day, who set up an interview.

There were two rounds of interviews, both conducted over the phone and lasting 40 minutes each. The questions primarily focused on basic C++ syntax and bit manipulation problems.

Most of the questions were repeated multiple times in Glassdoor reviews for NVIDIA.

I felt I performed well in both interviews but was unexpectedly rejected.

Questions

Write a C macro with 2 inputs, n and data (integers), to set the nth bit of data to 1.

Write your own C function to perform a string copy.

Output of this function:

void foo(void) { unsigned int a = 6; int b = -20; (a + b > 6) ? puts("> 6") : puts("<= 6"); }

What's wrong with this ISR function?

__interrupt double compute_area(double radius) { double area = PI * radius * radius; printf("\nArea = %f", area); return area; }

Using the variable a, write down definitions for the following:

(a) An integer (b) A pointer to an integer (c) A pointer to a pointer to an integer (d) An array of ten integers (e) An array of ten pointers to integers (f) A pointer to an array of ten integers (g) A pointer to a function that takes an integer as an argument and returns an integer (h) An array of ten pointers to functions that take an integer argument and return an integer

Given a 16-bit input (d3 d2 d1 d0 as the 4 nibbles), write a function which gives an output d2 d3 d0 d1.
