Subex Azure Selection Pattern : The selection is based on written/aptitude test, technical interviews and HR round. 
The written test is divided into 2 sections. The first section is objective test in which there are 20 questions for which 30 minutes are allotted. For every wrong answer 1/2 mark will be deducted. The section section is Programming section in which there are 2 questions and you have to attempt only one. The time allotted for this is 30 minutes.

Some of the Technical Questions : 

1. What will be the output of the following program?

Note: Space is represented by 0.

int main(int argc,char *argv[])

{char *s=“Hello,world”;printf(“%10s”,s);}

a) Hello,world0000000000 b) Hello,worl c) 0000000000Hello,world d) Hello,world

ans: d

2. In the below program the getNewString function is defined and it returns a character pointer. This function is called from main function as defined below. What will be the output of this program?

char *getNewString( )

{static char xxx[1024];return xxx;}

main( )

{char g[]=“First”;char *p;strcpy(getNewString( ),g);

p=getNewString( );

strcpy(p,“Second”); 

printf(“The string is : %s”,getNewString( ));}

a) The string is : First b) The string is : FirstSecond c) The string is

ans: c 

: Second

d) Unknown, since the scope of the pointer is local 

3. What will be output of the following recursive program?

What is the equivalent of a Ans: *(a+i)

int (*func)(int,int) is a pointer to a function with 2 integers as parameters and returning an integer value.

int *(*func)(int *,int *) is a pointer to a function with 2 integer pointers as parameters and returning a pointer to

an integer Which of a and b is true?
Ans: Both are true.

switch(float value) this is compiler error.

int a[5]={1,2,3,4,5};
int *p=a+1;
int *q=a+5;

int dif=q-p;
value of dif is 4 ( q-p is evalueated as q-p/sizeof int)

Switch(NULL)
ans: case 0: will be executed.

#define exp 5
printf("%d",exp++);
ans: compilation error lvalue required

strcat(str,str);
ans: compilation error

Coding Questions :


1) write a program to convert a expression in polish notation (postfix) to inline (normal) something like make 723+*  (2+3) x 7 (not sure) just check out its mainly printing expression in postfix form  to infix.

2)Write a program to print distinct words in an input along with their count in input in decreasing order of their count.
**other sets**

3)There is a mobile keypad with numbers 0-9 and  alphabets on it. take input of 7 keys and then form a word from the alphabets present on those keys.

All The Best Guys!!
