HP PAPER ON 13th JULY AT CHENNAI

Hai....friends,

and 5 is lawyer father of 6

Q1- who is student

ans 550
Q5 - some question were from english series as which will be next

1 - the size of text box.
2 - the size of msg box
3- what operator used to compare two string
4- DIM i,j means ... variant i,and variant j

Operating Systems
Study all the unix commands & some basic networking concepts like DHCP, Dynamic NAT, RARP, ARP, UDP, DNS. Unix : Grep, sed, basic perl program whose o/p is to be predicted. Pipes. You can expect some nasty & tricky questions !. But this section is kool not to worry too much

Section 2 : Programming part
C programs & Java programs. The programs seems to be easy but bcoz of the Negative marking (0.5) we have to be very clear. No bluffing ok! The programs are easy. Programs were on Fork, PID, Basic C syntax, Basics of Java, Exception handling, Inheritance, Strings, Cast conversion, Object linking etc

Section 3 : Aptitude
Most of the questions can be found from other placement papers like Sonata, TCS, Caritor. Nothing to worry much. But again you have to be very confident about the answers.

HP PAPER ON 15th MAY

hello everbody ...hope my questions will help

1.the paper was totally filled with c.
2.some programs were given and u are asked for the output.

e)try to know pointer and its various operation (say what will happen if 2 pointer is added or int pointer is addressed to a char etc.)
4.try to know something about firewall and its functions

best of luck

HP PAPER - 21 OCT 2003- BANGALORE

I attended the test conducted on 21st of oct at their office 29,Cunningham Road. There were 80 q,s to be answered in 75mins unlike the previous ones.

there were 3 sections
PART- 1 --> 40 q,s (Fundamental computer Concepts, includes OS,N/w , protocols)
PART-2 --> 20 q,s (Purely C ) -- bit tricky (involves ADA concepts)
PART-3 --> 20 q,s (Analytical) --- very easy

I don,t remeber all the q,s.however some of them which i do have been written below. They r not in order or part of .

Q : What is not a part of OS ?
O : swapper,compiler,device driver,file system.
A : compiler.

Q : what is the condition called when the CPU is busy swapping in and out pages of memory without doing any useful work ?
O : Dining philosopher,s problem,thrashing,racearound,option d
A: thrashing.

Q : How are the pages got into main memory from secondary memory? DMA, Interrupts,option3, option 4
A : as far as i know its Interrupts --by raising a page fault exception.

Q : What is the use of Indexing ?
O : fast linear access, fast random access, sorting of records , option 4
A : find out.

Q : in terms of both space and time which sorting is effecient. (The question is rephrased .)
O : merge sort, bubble sort, quick sort, option 4
A : find out

which case statement will be executed in the following code ?
main()
{
int i =1;
switch(i)
{
i++;
case 1 : printf ("");
break;
case 2 : printf("");
break;
default : printf("");
break;
}
}

Answer : Case1 will only be executed.

Q : In the given structure how do you initialize the day feild?
struct time {
char * day ;
int * mon ;
int * year ;
} * times;

Options : *(times).day, *(times->day), *times->*day.

Answer : *(times->day) -- after the execution of this statement compiler generates
error.i didn,t understand why.can anybody explain.

Q: The char has 1 byte boundary , short has 2 byte boundary, int has 4 byte boundary.
what is the total no: of bytes consumed by the following structure:
struct st {
char a ;
char b;
short c ;
int z[2] ;
char d ;
short f;
int q ;
}

Options are given.
Answer : its very easy 20 and not 19 .

Apart from these there were other q,s concerning minimal spanning tree, shortest path and some complexity questions.
