Interview Questions

Nominal money relates more to it's measure of counting - so nominal figure of what is written on bill, while "real" relates more to it's purchasing power (usually between some periods of time). For instance 100 units in nominal could buy 2 units of good in 1950 and 1 unit of good in 2005, at the same time real value of this 100 nominal units are 100 real units in 1950 and 50 real units in 2005.

Same is with GDP. In nominal it can rise due to inflation while it can stay the same or even decrease in real value.

When you give your item to the USPS for delivery, it accepts your item and starts the process of delivery. Transit is a part of the shipment delivery process. When we say that the package is in the transit or in transit to the destination, it means that the package is on the way to the delivery.

Why Are You Looking For A New Job?

Purpose - This question is asked to get some insights into your personality and your relationship with your last job, colleagues and employer. So you should be careful while answering this question.

1. Never bad-mouth your former employers.
Why? It is very simple as the interviewer will envision that you will bad-mouth them when you decide to leave, and nobody wants bad rumors about themselves or their company.

2. Never bad-mouth your previous co-workers.
Why? This world is too small, your co-workers could be a friend, relative of the interviewer.

3. Never bad-mouth about the responsibilities and tasks you performed at your previous job.
Why? Thinking that the new employer would give you great responsibilities and tasks and if you give a hate speech on the previous job responsibilities and activities and to your surprise if your interviewer is thinking about similar tasks for this position, you have already given a reason to quit the new job which you have not yet got. So guess, the chances of you getting the job is Nil.

Keep the answer short and try not to disclose too much. A straight answer is best and as stated above avoid negative statements about yourself, your work, or your ability to get along with others.

E.g.
My organization was forced to downsize.

Our department was eliminated due to corporate restructuring.

I am looking for a bigger challenge and to grow my career.

I am relocating to this area due to family ( Marriage, Kids Education etc...)

I received degree and want to utilize my new skills in this new position.

I am interested in a job with more responsibility and challenges.

I am seeking a position with a stable company with room for growth and opportunity for advancement.

Both these are used to combine the results of different SELECT statements.

    UNION       - Selects only distinct values 

    UNION ALL - Selects duplicate values also

Syntax:

    SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1

    UNION / UNION ALL

    SELECT column_name(s) FROM table2;

Notice that each SELECT statement within the UNION must have the same number of columns. The columns must also have similar data types. Also, the columns in each SELECT statement must be in the same order.

This problem isn't too hard. You just need to start at the head of the list, and iterate to the end. At each node, swap the values of pNext and pPrev. Finally, set pHead to the last node in the list.

Node * pCurrent = pHead, *pTemp;

while (pCurrent)

{

  pTemp = pCurrent->pNext;

  pCurrent->pNext = pCurrent->pPrev;

  pCurrent->pPrev = temp;  

  pHead = pCurrent;

  pCurrent = temp;

}

strstr() returns part of a given string from the first occurrence of a given substring to the end of the string.
For example:
strstr("user@example.com","@") will return "@example.com".

stristr() is idential to strstr() except that it is case insensitive.
