Matlab section was irritating: What are mex functions? Where are global and persistent variables stored? Give 2 different ways to access an element in ma trix. What command would you use to get 2 different axes on the same figure? What are cell arrays? Is matlab column specific or row specific? .... Math consisted of first order ODE, integrals, functions, linear algebra etc... I guess the question: 'what are eigen values' is a popular one. Programming Q's were a lot focused on virtual constructors/destructors and classes, polymorphism etc... Matlab section was irritating: What are mex functions? Where are global and persistent variables stored? Give 2 different ways to access an element in ma trix. What command would you use to get 2 different axes on the same figure? What are cell arrays? Is matlab column specific or row specific? .... What would be called if you have a variable 'x' in your workspace in MATLAB and a function 'x' stored in the MATLAB directory when you type 'x' in the command window? She sent me a list of topics that I had to prepare for intrvw. It consisted of Signal Processing(FFT,Z-transform,ROC, DFT,Stability), C or C++, programming Concepts, MATLAB, Mathematics. The intrvw was real easy and I was able to answer atleast 80% of them right. Unfortunately I dint hear from them back what is recursive function?

what precautions one must take while using pointers

Basic math (linear algebra, differential equations and calculus) Programming concepts (understand syntax and how languages work) One programming language (C, C++, or Java) (if C++ is selected, understand syntax and structure, compilation and OOP concepts) MATLAB (basic MATLAB syntax, programming and data concepts) Signals Processing (z-transforms, region of convergence, filter design, stability, noise, elementary system theory, the frequency domain, the response of systems, and the time domain)

took the technical phone interview amost 2 weeks back and havent received a call from them yet. I got questions from basic math, programming concepts, MATLAB and DSP. Has anybody got a call for an on site interview recently like in the past 1 week. What is the difference between MATLAB function and MATLAB script? Difference between Sub function and nested function multi threading, parallel computing What are cell arrays? Asked basic math and algorithm theory . I was given a summation of infinite series . The series formed a GP, basic sets /unions, a set of theorems like the triangular ineuality , max-min flow theorem, four color problem, I was asked what is N and P ( NP complete problems), then complexity of matrix multiplication,Big O notation. if two functions of o(n) complexity were multiplied/added what is the complexity of the resultant function. no eigen vectors and nothing on probability though. Then embedded systems was easy- what is rtos ,its applications, interrupt latency, thread vs process , ISR, virtual memory , semaphore vs mutex, types of semaphores , thread safe, priority inversion C union vs structure, volatile , reentrant code,static , header files, linking, memory section ,bit fields structure and its uses, call by value call by reference , null pointer, typedef vs #define java - access specifiers, abstract class vs interface Calculate circular convolution. What is type cast? about C header files What are java beans? Can you perform arithmetic operations on void pointers? If you were writing a function in a calculator to compute sine/cosine/tangent, and all you had was basic math operations (+, -, *, /) how would you do it? You cannot use lookup tables what is a mutex?
