pointer
What is a binary semaphore? What is its use?
Answer:A binary semaphore is one, which takes only 0 and 1 as values. They are used to implement mutual exclusion and synchronize concurrent processes.
What is thrashing?
Answer:It is a phenomenon in virtual memory schemes when the processor spends most of its time swapping pages, rather than executing instructions. This is due to an inordinate number of page faults.
What are turnaround time and
response time?
Answer:Turnaround time is the interval between the submission of a job and its
completion. Response time is the interval between submission of a request, and the first response to that
request.
What is data structure?
Answer: A data structure is a way of organizing data that considers not
only the items stored, but also their relationship to each other. Advance knowledge about the relationship
between data items allows designing of efficient algorithms for the manipulation of data.
List out the areas in which data structures are applied extensively?
Answer: The
name of areas are:
Compiler Design,
Operating
System,
Database
Management System,
Statistical
analysis package,
Numerical Analysis,
Graphics,
Artificial Intelligence,
Simulation
What are the major data
structures used in the following areas : RDBMS, Network data model & Hierarchical data model.
Answer: The major data structures used are as follows:
RDBMS - Array (i.e. Array of structures)
Network data
model - Graph
Hierarchical
data model - Trees
What is the data structures
used to perform recursion?
Answer: Stack. Because of its LIFO (Last In First Out) property it
remembers its 'caller' so knows whom to return when the function has to return. Recursion makes use of system
stack for storing the return addresses of
the function calls.
Predict the output or error(s)
for the following:
void main()
printf("%d",++(*p));
Answer:
Compiler error:
Cannot modify a constant value.
integer".
char s[ ]="man";
for(i=0;s[ i ];i++)
printf("\n%c%c%c%c",s[ i ],*(s+i),*(i+s),i[s]);
Answer:

nnnn

as s[i].
|
|
main()
|
|
{
|
|
else
|
|
}
|
Explanation:s[i], *(i+s), *(s+i), i[s] are all different ways of
expressing the same idea. Generally array name
is the base address for that array. Here s is the base address. i is the
index number/displacement from the
base address. So, indirecting it with * is same as s[i]. i[s] may be
surprising. But in the case of C it is same
float me = 1.1;
double you =
1.1;
if(me==you)
printf("I
love U");
printf("I
hate U");
Answer:
I hate U
Explanation: For floating point numbers (float, double, long double) the
values cannot be predicted exactly.
Depending on the number of bytes, the precession with of the value
represented varies. Float takes 4 bytes
and long double takes 10 bytes. So float stores 0.9 with less precision
than long double.
Rule of Thumb:
Never compare or at-least be cautious when using floating point numbers
with relational operators (== , >,
<, <=,
>=,!= ).
List out few of the
Application of tree data-structure?
Answer: The
list is as follows:
The manipulation of Arithmetic expression,
Symbol Table construction,
Syntax
analysis.
List out few of the applications
that make use of Multi linked Structures?
Answer: The applications are listed below:
Sparse matrix,
Index
generation.
In tree construction which is
the suitable efficient data structure?
Answer: Linked list is the efficient data structure.

What is the type of the
algorithm used in solving the 8 Queens problem?
Answer:
Backtracking
In RDBMS, what is the
efficient data structure used in the internal storage representation?
Answer: B+ tree. Because in B+ tree, all the data is stored only in leaf
nodes, that makes searching easier.
This
corresponds to the records that shall be stored in leaf nodes.
Whether Linked List is linear
or Non-linear data structure?
Answer: According to Access strategies Linked list is a linear one.
According to
Storage Linked List is a Non-linear one.

Candidate | Accenture Previous year interview
Questions
Don't just read these questions--practice and rehearse the answers. Don't
let the company interview be the
first time you have actually formulated an answer in spoken words. It is
not enough to think about them in
your head--practice! Sit down with a friend, a significant other, or your
roommate (an especially effective
critic, given the amount of preparation to date) and go through all of the
questions. Make the most of every
single
interview opportunity by being fully prepared!
Here are some of the standard questions that you can expect in the
Interview!!!

upon, educational
qualifications. If you are a fresh graduate, you can provide some
information about your family also.
The trick is to put the full stop at the right place to provoke the next

to have the leadership traits. So, you
can say that, I know the job well and I have the qualities which need me
to lead here. So, I think I am ready
to move on to a more challenging and responsible positions like this.
If you face a problem with
your own performance, what would you do?
The purpose here is to see if you are able to identify the problems with
your own performance and take
corrective measures. To answer this question, you can say something like,
"If I face a problem with my own performance, I will try to estimate how big is the problem, what is
causing the problem and then take action on each of the
listed things."

evaluate success?

situation in which you were successful.

you?
