Cquest Placement Papers

1. Declarations and Initializations
1.1 How do you decide which integer type to use?

1.4 What should the 64-bit type on new, 64-bit machines be?

1.7 What's the best way to declare and define global variables?

1.11 What does extern mean in a function declaration?

1.12 What's the auto keyword good for?

1.14 I can't seem to define a linked list node which contains a
pointer to itself.

1.21 How do I declare an array of N pointers to functions returning
pointers to functions returning pointers to characters?

1.22 How can I declare a function that returns a pointer to a function
of its own type?

1.25 My compiler is complaining about an invalid redeclaration of a
function, but I only define it once and call it once.

1.30 What can I safely assume about the initial values of variables
which are not explicitly initialized?

1.31 Why can't I initialize a local array with a string?

1.32 What is the difference between char a[] = "string"; and char *p =
"string"; ?

1.34 How do I initialize a pointer to a function?

2. Structures, Unions, and Enumerations

2.1 What's the difference between struct x1 { ... }; and typedef
struct { ... } x2; ?

2.2 Why doesn't "struct x { ... }; x thestruct;" work?

2.3 Can a structure contain a pointer to itself?

2.4 What's the best way of implementing opaque (abstract) data types
in C?

2.6 I came across some code that declared a structure with the last
member an array of one element, and then did some tricky allocation to
make it act like the array had several elements. Is this legal or
portable?

2.7 I heard that structures could be assigned to variables and passed
to and from functions, but K&R1 says not.

2.8 Why can't you compare structures?

2.9 How are structure passing and returning implemented?

2.10 Can I pass constant values to functions which accept structure
arguments?

2.11 How can I read/write structures from/to data files?

2.12 How can I turn off structure padding?

2.13 Why does sizeof report a larger size than I expect for a
structure type?

2.14 How can I determine the byte offset of a field within a
structure?

2.15 How can I access structure fields by name at run time?

2.18 I have a program which works correctly, but dumps core after it
finishes. Why?

2.20 Can I initialize unions?

2.22 What is the difference between an enumeration and a set of
preprocessor #defines?

2.24 Is there an easy way to print enumeration values symbolically?

3. Expressions

3.1 Why doesn't the code "a[i] = i++;" work?

3.2 Under my compiler, the code "int i = 7; printf("%d\n", i++ *
i++);" prints 49. Regardless of the order of evaluation, shouldn't it
print 56?

3.3 How could the code [CENSORED] ever give 7?

3.4 Don't precedence and parentheses dictate order of evaluation?

3.5 But what about the && and || operators?

Covansys Placement Papers

irst round pattern;
You will be given a question booklet that contains many papers on different topics. Some are compulsory while some are optional (i.e. you can take this or that). All the papers are objective type.


Aptitude will be your first section-aptitude will be quite easy (simple distance, time, numbers etc.)
problems. You'll probably also have one question like the GRE analytical section (i.e. you will be given a paragraph followed by a set of 4/5 questions based on that paragraph). This section is easy but don't spend too much time on any question (time will be a factor) for some of the questions u can easily work out the solution backwards (I mean you can form an equation and then substitute the choices given in your answers instead of trying to solve equations)


Next you will have to take 2 papers on programming languages : you can choose between C/C++, Java and VB. Just glance thro the 3 papers and choose 2 which you are comfortable with. I think C/C++ and Java will be easy. Time is not a problem for these papers.


Next you will have to take one of the database related papers (I think there is oracle and something
else) oracle seemed easy (though I have never worked in oracle)-questions are basic and even if you don't know oracle you could just try to find some tutorial on the net.


Then you have choice of paper between Windows Server 2000 and Unix (I'm not sure of these choices since I took the test in May). Again the questions will be easy (basics).


Well, that's all there is in all I think u have to take 5 papers (apt., 2 languages, 1 database and 1 OS)

So, those of you taking your test best of luck-just stay calm-if you have studied oracle,unix it will be
very easy (for others like me just relax and give it your best shot-you have nothing to lose).



ANOTHER Comment

Don't worry abt the so called english test held by covansys....i was called a few weeks back (for the 2nd round) and they had mentioned the same stuff to us also.....but the english test was: write an essay on "should every indian know at least two indian languages".they gave us 30 minutes or so for the essay.....then GD was just a formality.....don't worry about it....just talk something sensible.....

everyone called will attend the interview....and in the interview they'll ask you about the papers that you chose for the written test (if u remember for the covansys test we had a choice of papers like C++/vb/java and oracle etc...)....tehy'll usually ask you what paper you chose and then they'll ask some basic questions from that subject....

don't worry too much.....just brush up a little with whatever subject you wrote the test (if you took C, brush up with that)....

don't worry too much abt vocabulary....just keep your language simple and express your ideas properly.....i think the same process will be followed this time as well (i doubt whehter they will give you any english test paper)....
