My interview was scheduled at 11.30 AM. I reached on time. But they made me wait till 2.30 PM for calling for an interview. The person asked me what all the things you know in C++. As I was telling him, he started to write:C++ concepts STL - map/vector/ list - Algorithms (sort, reverse)Socket ProgrammingMultithreading Smart pointers (auto, shared_ptr, unique_ptr, weak_ptr) He asked me to explain Smart pointers asked me to write a function if the input is string = "bbbabbaaaaabcda" Output should be a:7He asked me to write socket programming. I was not able to write correct syntax, but I knew APIs which were used for it. He said we want someone who can write a syntactically correct program without referring to any manual. I just got pissed off. Why would people expect something like this, when help pages are available for us forever?
