I am from MNIT Jaipur. I appeared for Netapp campus interview for developer profile recently. I would like to contribute for CrazyforCode by sharing my experience.
First a written round was conducted. Written was based on Programming, Data structure, OS and Aptitude/Quant.
Round 1
→ explain your internship project.
Q1. Define IP tables.
Q2. Write a program to traverse a linked list.
Q3. Write a program to reverse a linked list.
→ how will you do it if you are allowed to use extra space?
Q4. In a knockout football tournament, there are n teams. find total no. of matches to be played
to choose the winner of the tournament.
Q5. Given two nodes of a tree, find their closest ancestor.
Q6. What is segmentation fault?
Q7. If u have a million numbers, how will u find the maximum number from them if
→ the input is given on the fly i.e. the numbers are entered one by one.
→ numbers are given 1000 at a time.
Q8. For a kernel level process, should the variables be stored in a stack or a heap?
Q9. What is internal fragmentation?
Round 2
Q1. Can u compare 2 structure variables in c? why? why not?

Q2. Find an engineering solution to a given social problem.
Q3. We use cylindrical beaker in our daily life to measure different solutions. we have to bend in
front of the beaker to see the level of the solution. find an efficient solution where we dont have to
bend to see the level and we are able to see the level as we pour the solution.
constraint: if cost of original beaker was 10 rs, the new beaker cannot cost more than 12 rs.
hint: think in terms of shape change.
Round 4
Q1. What is your experience of the whole day?
Q2. What part did you like best in our ppt?
