Initially i = 10.
Since no case is labeled 10, the control goes to default and the value of i is updated to 15, the next time when i entered the loop, its value gets incremented by 1 and it now becomes 16, since no case is labeled 16, the control again goes to default and its value become 21, again when i enters the loop, its value gets incremented by 1 and it now becomes 22, again no case is labeled 22, the control goes to default and the now is updated to 27, this process will continue until the value of i exceeds 50.

You will think the compiler will throw an error because of the header written in (" ") or use of ==. But that's not the case, the header can be imported like this also, and == is a comparison operator. The output of this program will be 1 because == operator(comparison operator) has a higher order of precedence than = operator, and hence it will get executed first. == operator returns the output in 1 or 0, and since the value of charmeleon and charizard are same it will return 1 which will update the value of charmander

According to the order of precedence of operators, bracket operator has a higher precedence than the assignment operator, hence it is executed first, it is evaluated from left to right but it is always the result of the last expression which gets assigned

In C, prefix and postfix operators need integer-value to perform an operation and return r-value. The expression (++prep)++ when executed increments the value of variable i(i is a integer-value) and returns r-value. The compiler generates the error(integer-value required) when it tries to post-increment the value of a r-value.

this is also known as an implicit conversion, which is done by the compiler on its own, whenever we use a different format specifier with a different datatype, in this case %d is used for printing a char type value which will finally print the ASCII value of chr

Interview Experience

TCS On-Campus Interview Experience

  • Name: Sankalp
  • College: MVJ College of Engineering
  • Branch: Information and Technology
  • Type of interview: ON-campus Interview

Student Interview

Like every year, this year also TCS visited our campus for the on-campus recruitment drive. It was informed by our TPO regarding the company’s eligibility criteria and process. The interview comprised of three levels, namely, written round, technical round, and the HR round. Only if I was able to clear the written round, I could appear for the next round.

Level 1: Written Test 

My written round was further divided into four sections, namely English, Quantitative aptitude, Programming concept, and Coding. Each section was allotted with the particular time frame and came with a defined set of questions.

  1. English: Number of questions (15), time limit (10 mins)
  2. Quantitative Aptitude: Number of questions (15), time limit (30 mins)
  3. Programming Concept: Number of questions (10), time limit (20 mins)
  4. Coding: Number of questions (1), time limit (30 mins)

Furthermore, the question paper for each section was prepared based on a pre-defined syllabus. The paper of English had questions on sentence completion. Quantitative aptitude had questions from time & work, profit & loss, number, decimal fraction, time, speed & distance, and blood relations. The other two sections also covered topics such as iteration, recursion, procedural vs. Oop, algorithms, and C/C++ for the coding section.

Level 2: Technical Interview 

After the written test, the second was the technical interview round in which the interviewer asked me questions related to my technical skills. This round included two interviews: TCS Ninja and TCS digital. The TCS Ninja interview lasted for 25 minutes and included questions on programming concepts and my final year project such as:

  • Difference between array and pointer.
  • What is the concept of object-oriented programming?
  • What are C and C++?
  • What was your role in the final year project?
  • What difficulties you have faced in completing the project?

Well, answering the questions correctly required basic subject knowledge and good confidence to place on the table. In the Digital interview round the interviewer first talked about my projects and the technical challenge I had faced throughout my course. Then he asked me to note down the maximum number of characters when applying MsgBox and InputBox.  Then he asked me the difference between standard and class module. I gave answers confidently and was selected for the last round.

HR Interview

After the technical round, the HR round was little moderate as the interview came up with some simple question. The few and significant questions that I remember are:

  • What are your strengths and weaknesses?
  • Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
  • Why should TCS hire you?

With all these questions, the interviewer was checking my behavioral and communication skills. After taking a deep breath upon interview completion, I was eagerly waiting for the final result announcements. I finally got selected for the job.

TCS Programming Logic Questions

The difficulty level is high. So you have to prepare well for the TCS Programming Logic Questions.

No, Programming Logic is a MCQ questions based section and after that there is a coding section where you have write a complete code for the given problem statement

TCS does not have a sectional cut-off, but still you need to solve atleast 7-8 questions correctly to clear the written round
