Process
Got a phone interview request, followed by a 1:1 interview. Depending on the programming language you choose, you'll get questions. I chose C. Here are a few questions:
- Difference between an inline function and a macro.
- What is a pointer?
- What is heap memory allocation and stack memory allocation?
- When do you get a segmentation fault?
- What is a friend function?
