What kind of questions I can expect in technical round and which are the toughest programs in C that they may ask? Somebody please suggest me or send me some useful link.

For C/C++ make sure you know pointers and for C++ have a good grasp of the C++ Standard Library.</p> <p>Is the company looking for a junior/entry level developer? Why not get a job in mechanical engineering?</p>Jim4PrezWed, 16 Jul 2014 10:09:31 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3364/im-a-mechanical-engineer-and-ive-a-big-interview-coming-up-as-a-developer-in-a-big-it-company-what-should-i-prepare/3370Answer by _pathakhttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/3364/im-a-mechanical-engineer-and-ive-a-big-interview-coming-up-as-a-developer-in-a-big-it-company-what-should-i-prepare/3369<p>Thax Andy for ur response. Actually the company expects me to prepare c &amp; c++ for the technical written test n interview but I don't have so much time that I can read the whole c &amp; c++ book. So is there anything in particular that I can prepare. Some link??</p>_pathakWed, 16 Jul 2014 09:56:03 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3364/im-a-mechanical-engineer-and-ive-a-big-interview-coming-up-as-a-developer-in-a-big-it-company-what-should-i-prepare/3369Answer by Andy Alkalinehttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/3364/im-a-mechanical-engineer-and-ive-a-big-interview-coming-up-as-a-developer-in-a-big-it-company-what-should-i-prepare/3368<p>That question would be virtually impossible to answer without knowing what the company's needs are.</p> <p>For information about programming, you might find some useful threads at <a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/</a></p>Andy AlkalineWed, 16 Jul 2014 09:40:37 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3364/im-a-mechanical-engineer-and-ive-a-big-interview-coming-up-as-a-developer-in-a-big-it-company-what-should-i-prepare/3368
