Process

I submitted my resume through my university's online recruiting system. A couple of months later, I received a call to participate in their Destination Q recruiting event.

The interview consisted of three parts:

  • Operating Systems
  • C programming concepts
  • General problem-solving and critical thinking

The interviews were fairly easy for the most part, and the interviewers were very nice. I was surprised because I had been expecting much more difficult interviews.

Questions

If you have a variable i declared as int i that gets incremented in an interrupt handler, how would the graph look as a function of time and the value of i?
