Practice the questions that actually come up and get instant feedback before the real thing.
Q: Write a function to reverse the words in a string.
A: Split the string on spaces into a list of words, reverse the order of that list, then join it back with single spaces. Guard against leading, trailing, or repeated spaces so you don't emit empty tokens.
Q: How would you find the missing number in an array of integers from 1 to N?
A: Compute the expected sum of 1 to N with N times (N plus 1) divided by 2, then subtract the actual array sum. The difference is the missing number, and it runs in linear time with constant space.
Q: Explain the concept of a virtual function in C++ and how the vtable works.
A: A virtual function lets a call resolve to the derived-class override at runtime through dynamic dispatch. Each class with virtuals has a vtable of function pointers, and every object holds a hidden vptr pointing at its class vtable.
Q: Implement a thread-safe queue.
A: Wrap a standard queue with a mutex around every push and pop, and use a condition variable so consumers wait when the queue is empty instead of spinning. Signal the condition variable on each push.
