Then, difference b/w

char *str = "Hello";
char arr[] = "Hello";
he started asking whether following statements get complied or not;
arr++; // ERROR..its like a pointer constant
*(arr + 1) = 's';
cout<<arr; // o/p: Hsllo

SECTION I - 8 questions based on series.

1. These questions involve interchange of letters in a word at particular locations
and also interchanging letters adjacent to those particular locations.Certain other
conditions may also be given
For eg.
Let the word be ABBAABA
If we apply 25 on this, it means we have to interchange the letters at positions 2
and 5, also we have to change the letters adjacent to positions 2 and 5 i.e.from A
to B and B to A.
A B B A A B after Step 1 i.e interchange of 2 and 5 becomes AABABB
Now change adjacent elements of 2 and 5...finally answer becomes
Ans: B A A B B A
Questions 1-5 are based on the pattern with changed numbers as described
above
Questions 6-8 are of the following type
To get AAABBD from BBBAAA what number should be applied:a) 25
b) 34
c) 25 & 34
d) none

SECTION II
1. Given the following functions
(1) f(n a b c ) = ac if n=1

(2) f(n a b c) = f( n-1 a c b) + f( 1 a b c) + f( n-1 b a c ) if n > 1

Then what is the value f( 2 a b c ) = ?
Ans: f( 2 a c b ) = ab + ac + bc.
2. Similar question on functions.
3. [ Based on the function in the first question] For the function f( 4 a b c ) the
number of terms is...?
Hint f( 4 a b c ) = f( 3 a c b ) + f( 1 a b c ) + f( 3 b a c ) etc.
4. What is the value of the function f( 5 a b c ) = ?

SECTION III
Permutations and Combinations.
8 Questions.
1. r = number of flags;n = number of poles;
Any number of flags can be accommodated on any single pole.
1)r=5,n=5 The no. of ways the flags can be arranged ?
Questions 2-5 are based on the above pattern
6. r = 5 n = 3 . If first pole has 2 flags, third pole has 1 flag
How many ways can the remaining be arranged?
Questions 7.& 8. are similar to Question 6.
SECTION IV
Question consisting of figures - Pattern-matching type.
Refer R.S Agarwal's book on Analytical Reasoning & TMHs Quantitative ability
book by Edgar Thorpe.

Persistent Paper

Interview on this Persistent System P Ltd.

as a fresher they take a writen exm. of one hour of basic read throught the MCA
like -DBMS
-Netwoking
-Algorithem
-C
-Data Structure
-General Apptitude
-A . I.
-Operating System
one more exm of two prog in c (One Hour)

Test Pattern:Test will be totally based on computer science syllabus(all and all Technical test) . It will test u on
basis of Computer algorithm,Operating system,programming,DBMS,General.
Test is divided in two parts
1.Objective type Question :-Duration 1 hour
2.Programming Ability( u have to write two C programs for given problems-2 program):duration 1
hour

1.Objective Type Question:It has 5 types ,Each type contain 5 questions.No negative marking
Type1:-Computer Algorithm
(don't waste time doing paper work for algorithm my suggestion is first for DBMS GENERAL ..well if u r
confident for algorithm go for it.)
1.In what option the binary search will not possible to search 43
a.11,22,55,56,43,34
b.
c.
d.
2.how many comparison required for merging two ordered list.
3.
Type2:- Programming(in c) (it contains 10 question u have to solve any 5)
(u must have fundas in programming .....)
1.Typical what will be the outpt.
2.One simple question on macro
square(x) x*x

a=10 b=20
if called as printf("%d", square(a+b)); what will be output
ans=32
Type 3:-Operating System
1.one small problem on process time completion .OS scheduler is round robin with 1 sec interval.4
process is given with their arrival time .asked to calculate the completion time for process p.
2.which is odd one
given 5 algorithm and find odd one.
3.
Type 4:-DBMS

Type 5:-General.

2.Programming test
( I don' t whether the problem will remains same or not for successive test.but pattern will be same.)
Q1. U have to write the function for matrix addition using link list.It is called "sparse matrix" .The
structure for the element is as follows.
Typedef struct element{
Int row;
Int column;
Int value;
Element * next;
}element,sparsematrin*;
If value contains zero then there should not be node assign for that.U have to also check boundary
condition in your program.
Function is:
SparseMatrix SmAdd(SaprseMatrix m1,SparseMatrix m2)
( Revised concept of linked list and have a look at coding.....)

Q2.Problem:-

One boy has to climb steps. He can climb 1 or 2 steps at a time. Write a function that will returns
number of way a boy can climb the steps. Int WaytoSteps(int n)
(eg:- suppose number of steps is n=4 ,the function will return 5 (one-one-one-one ,one-one-two, onetwo-one-,two-one-one, two-two)
(I cant solve this problem )
well,all the best ...go through basic concept of computer science and c programming....

The paper consists of 2 test.

Test 1 -- consists of only technicalobjective questions,
It has six sections & each have 5 Qns.
The sections are -1. C Programming( in which some C Qns are there)
2. Theory ( Qns from Compiler toc etc.)
3. General( Qns from probability etc.)
4. OS(Qns from OS, like 5 processes are given with their burst &
some scheduling policy is also given, now find out when process P is
completed)
5. Database ( Qns from Normalisation, Transactions etc)
6. Data Structures
Qns are pretty simple. one Knowing only the basics can be able to
clear the exam. Just go through C language part in some detail.
Test 2--- Consist of only 1 Qn for program. In this we have to make
a C program.
Qn is that there is a binary tree , a node having three pointers -Left child, right child, parent. Now the problem is to delete the
tree in top-down fashion ie First delete parent & then child.
In previous paper, the Qn ask in this section is that--To take a string from the User & then arrange the characters in
that string in ascending order like if user enters "babcac" the
program should print it as "aabbcc"
The test is very simple just go thru the basics of OS, DBMS & data
structures. & concentrate over C programming. It is very essential
