AnswersPhone Interview:
- Carbon April 30, 2008
The guy who interviewed me is a project leader at Bloomberg. He was very arrogant and
his english was very poor.
First he asked me to explain what I have worked on at current company. So I explained him the distributed system I built at world's 3rd best research organization. The discussion went on for 30 minutes and at the end He laughed at it and claimed that its not a real distributed system!
He then asked following C++ questions:
1. Can you have private destructor and private constructor ? explain your answer.
2. Can you have virtual constructor ? explain your answer.
3. What design pattern is similar to virtual constructor ?
4. Can you have vector of auto_pointer ? explain your answer.
5. is this code valid:
auto_pointer<Object> a(new Object());
auto_pointer<Object> b(new Object());
a = b;
My Answer: Yes its valid ( I checked in the book later)
but he insisted that this is invalid code! what an idiot.
If he comes on the phone to interview you, just say "No Thanks!"| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE
