All friends are graduating in a few weeks, most have a job, and almost all are still talking interview calls. I have to start my job hunt in a month maybe, once I have a resume, so I keep asking people about their interview and interview questions.
It is surprising, or maybe not to many people, that the interviewers ask "dumb" questions. What I consider "dumb" is something that you need not accurately at the tips of you finger, you have a fair idea, and there are more than enough online resources to answer that question. A simple example, what does strstr() do ? Ok, I know it does some string operation, probably related to substring matching. I need not know the parameters, I can always do a $man strstr. But for some reason, the interviewers want you to know all these (minute) details.
That is still fine. They give C code of the form
if (!++p+k||t&&!b+++c)
And then they ask you what is the output.. Now who the fuck is to remember all the operator precedences, and which bitch writes such code ? Ain't this bad programming practise ? If this is the way the interviewer, who probably is my Team Lead is gonna code, I am no ways working with that fellow..
