Written test paper at Cisco interview Question paper
1. The starting location of an array is 1000. If the array[1..5/...4] is stored in row major order, what is the location of element [4,3]. Each word occupies 4 bytes.
Ans: 1056 (Check it out for yourself!)
2. In a tertiary tree, which has three childs for every node, if the number of internal nodes are N, then the total number of leaf nodes are?
Ans: (2N+1)
3. Explain the term "locality of reference" ?
Ans: In computer science, locality of reference, also called the principle of locality, is the term applied to situations where the same value or related storage locations are frequently accessed. There are three basic types of locality of reference: temporal, spatial and sequential:
Temporal locality -
Here a resource that is referenced at one point in time is referenced again soon afterwards.
Spatial locality -
Here the likelihood of referencing a storage location is greater if a storage location near it has been recently referenced.
Sequential locality -
Here storage is accessed sequentially, in descending or ascending order.
4. What is the language used for Artificial Intelligence
Ans: lisp
5. What is the character set used in JAVA 2.0 ?
Ans: Unicode
6. char a =0xAA ;
int b ;
b = (int) a ;
b = b >> 4 ;
printf("%x",b);

program segment ?

Ans: fffffffa
7. struct s1 { struct { struct { int x; } s2 } s3 }y;
How does one access x in the above given structure definition ?

Ans: Compilation failes as ";" is missing immediately after declaration of the strcuture variables s2 and s3.
Otherwise, we can access x like this: y.s3.s2.x
8. Why there is no recursion in Fortran ?
Ans. There is no dynamic allocation.
9. What is the worst case complexity of Quick sort?
Ans. O(n2)
10. What will be sequence of operating system activities when an interrupt occurs ?
Ans: Most modern general purpose microprocessors handle the interrupts the same way. When a hardware interrupt occurs the CPU stops executing the instructions that it was executing and jumps to a location in memory which either contains the interrupt handling code or an instruction branching to the interrupt handling code. This code usually operates in a special mode for the CPU, interrupt modeand, normally, no other interrupts can occur in this mode. There are exceptions though; some CPUs rank the interrupts in priority and higher level interrupts may happen. This means the first level interrupt handling code must be very carefully written and it often has its own stack which it uses to store the CPU's execution state (all of the CPU's normal registers and context) before it goes off and fully handles the interrupt. Some CPUs have a special set of registers that only exist in interrupt mode and the interrupt code can use these registers to do most of the context saving it needs to do. When the interrupt has been handled, the CPU's state is restored and the interrupt is dismissed. The CPU will then continue to doing whatever it was doing before being interrupted. It is important that the interrupt processing code is as efficient as possible and that the operating system does not block interrupts too long.
11. In a sequential search, what is the average number of comparisons it takes to search through n elements ?
Ans: (n+1)/2.
12. What is the size of the array declared as double * X[5] ?

Ans. 10 ( 16179 = 11111100110011)
17. In memory mapped I/O how is I/O is accessed ?
Ans: uses the same address bus to address both memory and I/O devices, and the CPU instructions used to access the memory are also used for accessing devices.
