Process
The interview was relatively easy. I was asked a couple of C coding questions related to bit manipulation, OS fundamentals like spinlocks, semaphores, mutexes, etc. There were basic memory layout and experience-related questions as well.
It was supposed to be 3 hours long, but it ended in 2 hours.
Questions
Swap bits in a number.
How do you set or reset a bit.
