SECTION III - ANALYSIS PROGRAM SEGMENTS

1) Here is the structure declaration of a doubly

linked list

struct dlink {

int nodeid;

struct dlink *next;

struct dlink *prev;

} dlink_t;

A pointer of the head of the linked list is maintained

as a global variable,

whose definition is

dlink_t *head;

The funtion remove_element(dlink_t *rp), needs to

remove the node pointed to

the rp and adjust the head.

The first node's prev and the last node's next are

NULL.

remove_element(dlink_t *rp)

{

rp->prev->next = rp->next;

rp->next->prev = rp->prev;

if( head == rp)

head = rp->next;

Which of the following statement is true about the

function remove_element

A) It work when head is the same as rp

B) It does not work when rp is the last element on the

list

c) It sets the head of the list correctly

D) It works in all cases

Answer :B

2) Consider the following function written in c:

#define NULL 0

char *

index(sp,c)


{

do {

if(*sp == c)

return (sp);

} while (*sp++);

return NULL;

}

The first argument sp, is a pointer to a C string. The

second

argument, c, is a character. This function scarches

for the character

c, in the string. If it is found a pointer to that

location is returned

else NULL is returned.

This function works

a) Always

b) Always, but fails when the first byte contais the

character c

c) works when c is a non NULL character only

d) Works only when the character c is found in the

string

For C you should refer to "Pointers in C" and "Tesh your C skills" by

Yashwant Kanitkar. Complete these 2 books before appearing for the

test. C is very important for HCL Test.

Be clear about these topics in detail:

* Pointers

* Arrays

* Strings

* Structures

* Unions

* Macros

* Function

It's going to help you in interview also.

I don't remember even a single question in C. Mostly questions look

alike. But i remember some questions in Aptitude. So i'll tell you

that.

Aptitude:

1. A was born when B was 1 year and 3 months old. C was born when A

was 2 years 1 month old. What is the age of B when C is 4 years and 6

months old?

2. If one type of tobacco costs Re.1/- per kg and other type costs

Rs. 5/- per kg. What quantity of first type and second type are mixed

so that 100 kg of mixture osts Rs. 100/-?

3. If an article is bought at a profit of 15% and sold at a loss of

15% what is my total profit percent or loss percent?

4. There are 5 questions in a question paper. In an examination 5%

students answer all questions and 5% answered none. 50% of the rest

answered 3 questions and 20% answered 2 questions and 300 answered

only 1 question. How many students appeared for the test?

5. A boat is going upstream with the velocity of ............

6. one question on probability.

7. one question on a paragraph.

8. one question on equations. (very simple)

that's all i could recall right now....note that these questions does

not contain the exact figure. But question formats were same. It'll

help you a lot. If you know how to do questions 1-4 then you can skip

these chapters while preparing. Questions from these chapters will

not be repeated.


SECTION A

The following program accepts a pair of 2 numbers from the user of system and totals them.

Numbers are accepted in pair repeatedly and totaled, until grand total of all the pair of

numbers accepted does not exceed 9.

Step 1 : Assign value 0 to x

Step 2 : Accept 1st number and assign to A

Step 3 : Accept 2nd number and assign to B

Step 4 : Add A and B assign to C

Step 5 : Add C to X

Step 6 : If X<10 go to Step 1

Step 7 : Stop.

The error in the above routine is

Step 6 should be If X<9 go to Step 1

Step 1 is redundant

Step 4 should be Add A & B and assign to X

Step 6 should read If x<10 go to Step 2

Step 1 should be Assign value 0 to A & B

The following program finds the greatest of the three numbers A, B and C and prints the result

Step 1 : If A>B assign A to X

Step 2 : If A>C assign A to X

Step 3 : If B>C assign B to X

Step 4 : Print X

The error in the above program:

It does not work in case C > A

It does not work in case B > A

It does not work in case C > B

It does not work in case A = B = C

Section II:

1) some 6 guys are there A,B,C,D,E,F(say) and u have to adjust in the row.

and some statements are there like A & D can't be adjacent

E,A have one vacant area in between.. like that and there are 5 questions are based on that?

2) this one is tricky .. there are two groups . one is many brothers can mary one sister of other

group. and second is many sister can mary one brother of other group

and some statements are there like V & U is father of S, X is the only grandmother of S ...like

that..

And there are 6 question based on that..

Six knights - P,Q,R,S,T and U - assemble for a long journey in

two

travelling parties. For security, each travelling party

consists

of at least two knights. The two parties travel by separate

routes,

northern and southern. After one month, the routes of the

northern

and southern groups converge for a brief time and at that point

the

knights can, if they wish, rearrange their travelling parties

before

continuing, again in two parties along separate northern and

southern

routes. Throughout the entire trip, the composition of

travelling

parties must be in accord with the following conditions

P and R are deadly enemies and, although they may meet

briefly,

can never travel together.

p must travel in the same party with s

Q cann't travel by the southern route

11)the required number is a odd number

some stuff like this. These type of question takes much time. Attend such questions at last.

h) Question on finding the door numbers of two friends. some 5 or 6 conditions were given.

similar kind of problem can be found in ?SHAKUNTHALA DEVI PUZZLE BOOKS?

I remember only these many questions.I don?t know whether they are going to repeat the

same paper or not but one thing the pattern and the types of questions will be same as I even

compared to the previous question papers available in CHETANA PAPERS.

Group discussion:

The main elimination round of the SATYAM . Each group contains 8 members.For my batch

HR asked us to suggest us the topic and all 8 suggested 8 topics out of which HR choose a

topic and it was ? DO YOU PREFER ABROAD EDUCATION OR INDIAN EDUCATION ? We

were given two minute time to note down the points.

I thought Indian education is good but many would go for that topic. so I thought of arguing

toward the ABROAD EDUCATION and I started the discussion. As I thought earlier all the 7

were towards INDIAN EDUCATION and only I was against it. So I got much of the opportunity

to speak and argue. i was defending all the 7. Discussion was very nice. The discussion went

on for 15 ? 20 minutes( a bit long time compared to other as our discussion for good).Even

HR was very friendly and he also participated as one of the participant which gave me still

more confidence.

TIPS for GD:

a) Be careful while you choose to discuss towards the topic or against the topic.

b) Predict how others may depend and write downs short points in a scrap paper.

c) If possible try to start first , if not no problem but try to speak atleast not keep mum.

d) Be fixed to your attitude, it is if the opposite person argues strongly don?t leave your topic

go towards others.

e) Never be in a neutral state i.e talking both towards as well as against. One girl in our batch

did so. She was accepting both the arguments and she was eliminated.

f) It?s a discussion don?t make it as DEBATE ,be cool. Don?t jump on others. They test your

patience too when you are at heavy argument.Patience doesn?t mean silence but talk

smoothly , try to convince your offenders.

g) Always have a smiling face, that will carry you towards the success.

h) Finally don?t forget the conclude the discussion highlighting your strong points.

TECHNICAL AND INTERVIEWS:

Finally technical and HR round were together.

These questions surely based on the person who interviews you.

TECHINICAL:- Explanation of your project will a must, Only Project which you have done in

your final sem will be considered and you need to face many questions on your project.So

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Interview Question at Satyam for JAVA platform holding 3 yrs of Exp

-------------------------------------------------------------------

1) What is diffrence between StateFul and Stateless Session Bean?

A Stateful Session Bean is a bean that is designed to service business processes

that span multiple method requests or transactions. Stateful Session beans

retain state on behalf of an individual client. Stateless Session Beans do not

maintain state.

EJB containers pools stateless session beans and reuses them to service many

clients. Stateful session beans can be passivated and reused for other clients.

But this involves I/O bottlenecks. Because a stateful session bean caches client

conversation in memory, a bean failure may result in loosing the entire client

conversation. Therefore, while writing a stateful session bean the bean

developer has to keep the bean failure and client conversation loss in mind.

In case of stateless session beans, client specific data has to be pushed to the

bean for each method invocation which will result in increase in the network

traffic. This can be avoided in a number of ways like persisting the client

specific data in database or in JNDI. But this also results in I/O performance

bottlenecks.

If the business process spans multiple invocations thereby requiring a

conversation then stateful session bean will be the ideal choice. On the other

hand, if business process lasts only for a single method call, stateless session

bean model suits.

Stateful session beans remembers the previous request and responses. But

stateless beans do not. stateful does not have pooling concept, whereas the

stateless bean instances are pooled

-------------------------------------------------------------------

2) What is difference between BeanMangedPersistance and ContainerMangedPersistance?

CMP: Tx behaviour in beans are defined in transaction attributes of the methods

BMP: Programmers has to write a code that implements Tx behaviour to the bean class.

Tuned CMP entity beans offer better performance than BMP entity beans. Moving

towards the CMP based approach provides database independence since it does not

contain any database storage APIs within it. Since the container performs

database operations on behalf of the CMP entity bean, they are harder to debug.

BMP beans offers more control and flexibility that CMP beans.

Diff 1) In BMP you will take care of all the connection and you write the SQL

code inside the bean whereas in CMP the container will take care of it

Diff 2) The BMP is not portable across all DB's.whereas the CMP is

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(3)Draw and explain MVC architecture?

MVC Architecture is Module- View-Controller Architecture. Controller is the one

which controls the flow of application / services the requests from the View.

Module is the other layer which performs the exact operations. Each layer should

be loosely coupled as much as possible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(4)Difference between forward(request,response) and SendRedirect(url) in Servlet?

With Forward, request & response would be passed to the destination URL which

should be relative (means that the destination URL shud be within a servlet

context). Also, after executing forward method, the control will return back to

the same method from where the forward method was called. All the opposite to

the above points apply to sendRedirect.

(OR)The forward will redirect in the application server itself. It does not come

to the client. whereas Response.sendredirect() will come to the client and go

back ...ie. URL appending will happen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(5)What is Synchornize?

Synchronize is a technique by which a particular block is made accessible only

by a single instance at any time. (OR) When two or more objects try to access a

resource, the method of letting in one object to access a resource is called sync

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(6)How to prevent Dead Lock?

Using synchronization mechanism.

For Deadlock avoidance use Simplest algorithm where each process tells max number

of resources it will ever need. As process runs, it requests resources but never

exceeds max number of resources. System schedules processes and allocates resoures

in a way that ensures that no deadlock results.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

7)Explain different way of using thread? :

The thread could be implemented by using runnable interface or by inheriting

from the Thread class. The former is more advantageous, 'cause when you are

going for multiple inheritance..the only interface can help

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(8)what are pass by reference and passby value?

Pass By Reference means the passing the address itself rather than passing the

value. Passby Value means passing a copy of the value to be passed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(9)How Servlet Maintain Session and EJB Maintain Session?

Servlets maintain session in ServleContext and EJB's in EJBContext.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(10)Explain DOM and SAX Parser?

DOM parser is one which makes the entire XML passed as a tree Structure and

will have it in memory. Any modification can be done to the XML.

SAX parser is one which triggers predefined events when the parser

encounters the tags in XML. Event-driven parser. Entire XML will not be stored

in memory. Bit faster than DOM. NO modifications can be done to the XML.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(11)What is HashMap and Map?

Map is Interface and Hashmap is class that implements that and its not

serialized HashMap is non serialized and Hashtable is serialized

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(12)Difference between HashMap and HashTable?

The HashMap class is roughly equivalent to Hashtable, except that it is

unsynchronized and permits nulls. (HashMap allows null values as key and value

whereas Hashtable doesnt allow). HashMap does not guarantee that the order of

the map will remain constant over time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(12a) Difference between Vector and ArrayList?

Vector is serialized whereas arraylist is not

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(13)Difference between Swing and Awt?

AWT are heavy-weight componenets. Swings are light-weight components. Hence

swing works faster than AWT.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

14) Explain types of Enterprise Beans?

Session beans -> Associated with a client and keeps states for a client

Entity Beans -> Represents some entity in persistent storage such as a database

-------------------------------------------------------------------

15) What is enterprise bean?

Server side reusable java component

Offers services that are hard to implement by the programmer

Sun: Enterprise Bean architecture is a component architecture for the

deployment and development of component-based distributed business applications.

Applications written using enterprise java beans are scalable, transactional and

multi-user secure. These applications may be written once and then deployed on

any server plattform that supports enterprise java beans specification.

Enterprise beans are executed by the J2EE server.

First version 1.0 contained session beans, entity beans were not included.

Entity beans were added to version 1.1 which came out during year 1999.

Current release is EJB version 1.2

-------------------------------------------------------------------

16)Services of EJB?

Database management :

?Database connection pooling

?DataSource, offered by the J2EE server. Needed to access connection pool of the server.

?Database access is configured to the J2EE server -> easy to change database / database

driver

Transaction management :

?Distributed transactions

?J2EE server offers transaction monitor which can be accessed by the client.

Security management :

?Authetication

?Authorization

?encryption

Enterprise java beans can be distributed /replicated into separate machines

Distribution/replication offers

?Load balancing, load can be divided into separate servers.

?Failover, if one server fails, others can keep on processing normally.

?Performance, one server is not so heavy loaded. Also, for example Weblogic has thread

pools for improving performance in one server.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

17)When to choose EJB?

Server will be heavy loaded :

?Distribution of servers helps to achieve better performance.

Server should have replica for the case of failure of one server:

?Replication is invisible to the programmer

Distributed transactions are needed "

?J2EE server offers transaction monitor that takes care of transaction management.

?Distributed transactions are invisible to the programmer

Other services vs. money :

Weblogic J2EE server ~ 80 000 mk and Jbuilder X Professional Edition ~ 5 000mk

-------------------------------------------------------------------

18)Why not to use free J2EE servers?

?no tecnical support

?harder to use (no graphical user interface ...)

?no integration to development tools (for example, Jbuilder)

?Bugs? Other problems during project?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

19) Alternative:Tuxedo

Tuxedo is a middleware that offers scalability services and transaction monitors.

C or C++ based.

Can be used with Java client by classes in JOLT package offered by BEA.

Faster that J2EE server?

Harder to program?

Harder to debug?

Implementation is platform dependent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

20) J2EE server offers

DataSource:

?Object that can be used to achieve database connection from the connection pool.

?Can be accessed by the interface DataSource

Transaction monitor:

?Can be accessed by the interface UserTransaction.

Java Naming and the Directory Service :

-------------------------------------------------------------------

21)Java Naming and the Directory Service

Naming service is needed to locate beans home interfaces or other objects (DataSource,

UserTransaction):

?For example, jndi name of the DataSource

Directory service is needed to store and retrieve properties by their name:

?jndi name: java:comp/env/propertyName

-------------------------------------------------------------------

22)XML ? deployment descriptor

ejb-jar.xml + server-specific xml- file Which is then Packed in a jar ? file

together with bean classes.

Beans are packaged into EJB JAR file , Manifest file is used to list EJB?s and

jar file holding Deployment descriptor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

23) Session Bean

Developer programs three classes:

?Home interface, contains methods for creating (and locating for entity beans) bean

instances.

?Remote interface, contains business methods the bean offers.

?Bean class, contains the business logic of the enterprise bean.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

24)Entity Beans

Represents one row in the database:

?Easy way to access database

?business logic concept to manipulate data.

Container managed persistence vs. bean managed persistence:

Programmer creates three or four classes:

?Home interface for locating beans

?Remote interface that contains business methods for clients.

?Bean class that implements bean?s behaviour.

?Primary key class ? that represents primary key in the database. Used to locate beans.

Primary key class is not needed if primary key is a single field that could

-------------------------------------------------------------------

25) When to use which bean?

Entity beans are effective when application wants to access one row at a time.

If many rows needs to be fetched, using session beans can be better alternative

ava class (for example, Integer).

Entity beans are efficient when working with one row at a time

Cause a lot of network trafic.

Session Beans are efficient when client wants to access database directry.

?fetching/updating multiple rows from the database

-------------------------------------------------------------------

26) Explain J2EE Arch?

Normally, thin-client multitiered applications are hard to write because they

involve many lines of intricate code to handle transaction and state management,

multithreading, resource pooling, and other complex low-level details.

The component-based and platform-independent J2EE architecture makes J2EE

applications easy to write because business logic is organized into reusable

components and the J2EE server provides underlying services in the form of a

container for every component type. Because you do not have to develop these

services yourself, you are free to concentrate on solving the business problem

at hand.

Containers and Services :

Component are installed in their containers during deployment and are the

interface between a component and the low-level platform-specific functionality

that supports the component. Before a web, enterprise bean, or application

client component can be executed, it must be assembled into a J2EE application

and deployed into its container.

The assembly process involves specifying container settings for each component

in the J2EE application and for the J2EE application itself. Container settings

customize the underlying support provided by the J2EE Server, which include

services such as security, transaction management, Java Naming and Directory

InterfaceTM (JNDI) lookups, and remote connectivity.

Container Types :

The deployment process installs J2EE application components in the following

types of J2EE containers. The J2EE components and container addressed in this

tutorial are shown in Figure 5.

An Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) container manages the execution of all

enterprise beans for one J2EE application. Enterprise beans and their

container run on the J2EE server.

A web container manages the execution of all JSP page and servlet components

for one J2EE application. Web components and their container run on the J2EE

server.

An application client container manages the execution of all application

client components for one J2EE application. Application clients and their

container run on the client machine.

An applet container is the web browser and Java Plug-in combination running on

the client machine

sleep..the next dacoit wakes up, does the same thing,ie takes 1/5th of the remaining bounty

plus one for himself, puts the rest back and goes to sleep..the third,fourth and fifth dacoits do

the same thing..in the morning, they all wake up and divide the bounty equally among
