Process

The interviewer was a male and very polite. First, he asked something from my resume, such as "What are your favorite projects?" Then, we started the technical questions.

The technical questions covered:

  • An algorithm problem
  • A C programming problem
  • Some basic concepts about STL in C++
  • Some other practical questions, such as writing a bash script.

My performance was very bad.

Questions

Here's an example to show the use of the bitset container in C++.
