L G SOFT PAPER ON 9th JANUARY 2008
Hey ppl...LG Soft came here in our campus for recruitment drive on 9th Jan 2008..Here are some details
abt the process...
Brief Description of the process:-

Tecncal cum Aptitude test.
At least 2 tech interviews.
fnal HR interview.
No.of students appeared for the wriitten test:-around 125.

The written test was havin 45 ques based on 'C' and among them some ques were on Data Structures + 15
ques based on general aptitude....
No sectional cut-off and negative marking were there.....Apti was very easy...but 'C' was a bit tricky....At a
first glance...you would think that this would be the nswer...but if you read it carefully, you will be
getting differant answer...'C' questions were based on function pointers,
basics etc....You shuld have a firm hand on 'C' and Data Structures.....
After around 1/2 to 1 hours, result of the tests were announced....around 45 were shortlisted.....Then after
that, there were at lest 2 rounds of technical interviews....Depending on one's performance in the 1st
round, he/she would be giving 2nd technical round....I faced three rounds of technical interviews...The ques
were based on C and Data Structures....
Once, you go into HR interview, after clearing all the initial interviews...You will be selected... In the
evening, results were announced....13 ppl got selected...I was one of them....The joining is on 21st Jan... If
your C basics are very clear,then only you will be able to clear the tech interviews...In order to get
selected...you should have sound knowledge of 'C'
Some ques asked were:-

Rate ur self in C.....function to get central node of the linked list.....reversing the linked list...etc....
So, I'll meet you there.....
Bye,
Adarsh

1. 1000000
2. Overflow
3. Error
4. None
Ans: 4
6. How do you declare an array of N pointers to functions returning pointers to functions

returning pointers to characters? Ans: The first part of this question can be
answered in at least three ways:
7. Build the declaration up incrementally, using typedefs:

typedef char *pc; /* pointer to char */
typedef pc fpc(); /* function returning pointer to char */
typedef fpc *pfpc; /* pointer to above */
typedef pfpc fpfpc(); /* function returning... */
typedef fpfpc *pfpfpc; /* pointer to... */
pfpfpc a[N]; /* array of... */
8. Use the cdecl program, which turns English into C and vice versa:
cdecl> declare a as array of pointer to function returning pointer to function
returning pointer to char char *(*(*a[])())()
cdecl can also explain complicated declarations, help with casts, and indicate which
set of parentheses the arguments go in (for complicated function definitions, like the
one above). Any good book on C should explain how to read these complicated C
declarations "inside out" to understand them ("declaration mimics use"). The pointer-
to-function declarations in the examples above have not included parameter type
information. When the parameters have complicated types, declarations can *really*
get messy. (Modern versions of cdecl can help here, too.)
9. A structure pointer is defined of the type time . With 3 fields min,sec hours having
pointers to intergers.
Write the way to initialize the 2nd element to 10.
10. In the above question an array of pointers is declared. Write the statement to initialize
the 3rd element of the 2 element to 10
11. int f()

void main()
{
f(1);
f(1,2);
f(1,2,3);
}
f(int i,int j,int k)
{
printf("%d %d %d",i,j,k);
}What are the number of syntax errors in the above?
Ans: None.
12. void main()

{
int i=7;
printf("%d",i++*i++);
}Ans: 56
13. #define one 0

#ifdef one
printf("one is defined ");
#ifndef one
printf("one is not defined ");
Ans: "one is defined"
14. void main()

{
intcount=10,*temp,sum=0;
temp=&count;
*temp=20;
temp=∑
*temp=count;
printf("%d %d %d ",count,*temp,sum);
}
Ans: 20 20 20
15. There was question in c working only on unix machine with pattern matching.
16. what is alloca() Ans : It allocates and frees memory after use/after getting out of
scope
17. main()
{
static i=3;
printf("%d",i--);
return i>0 ? main():0;
}
Ans: 321
18. char *foo()

{
char result[100]);
strcpy(result,"anything is good");

PROGRAMMING SECTION (This consisted of Two programs to be solved in 1 hour.)
A sparse matrix is a matrix in which a node with val=0 is not represented. The whole matrix is
represented by a Linked list where node typedef struct Node
{
int row;
int col;
int value;
sparsematrix next;
} Element, *sparsematrix;
The problem is, if there are two matrix given suppose m1 and m2, then add them and return the
resultant sparsematrix.
If suppose there are N functions say from 0,1,2,... N-1 and it's given that A[i][j]=1 if the function i
contains a call to
func. j otherwise A[i][j]=0, then write a function that will form groups of related functions and print
them line by line and at the end print the number of total groups

(TIPS) 10 Days Guide to Crack Infy by: Rajiv
I am a fresher who just finsiehd my final year B.Tech Information
Technology.Being fully prepared for the selection test for Infy on
June 19th, and with God's grace I was able to get an appointment
Order form Infosys.I would like to give back to the group the 10 day
schedule that i followed, which may be of use in CRACKING the Infy
test.If 10 days arent there for you, then you coudl leve out the
days that i have used for Ravi Narula and the quantitaive Aptitude.
That would bring down the number of days to 7 or 8. You need to
manage your time very effeciently. Spend your itme in studying, and
prayers. Prayers do help a lot .
Usually when you register with Infosys, you woul get a mail atleast
10 to 12 days before the written test either by email, or by
Post.Let us keep this as 10 days.Before we start off, three rules
must be kep in mind.
FIRST RULE : While job hunting , check your mail on a daily basis,
so that you dont get delayed info regarding test or other such
details . Even the appointment order comes by email.
SECOND RULE : Once you do receive the intimating or hall ticket,

check for the following books.Not all chapters need to be followed
in each book and i have given the need ones in the daily schedule .
(1) Puzzles to Puzzle you - Shakuntala Devi (very Important)

(2) More Puzzles - Shakuntala Devi (very Important)
(3) Puzzles and Teasers - George Sammers (very very Important)
(4) Brain Teasers - Ravi Narula (Optional, but few old sums are here)
(5) Quantitative Aptitude - R.S Agarwal ( Important)
(6) Verbal Reasoning - R.S Agarwal (very very Important)
(7) Previous Papers - Chetana group, Mail me for more (Important) THIRD
RULE : YOU must forget all your previosu failures and start
afresh with firm determination and enthusiasm. Once you do this ,
solving puzzles become easy . I solved 9 out of 10 puzzles.
Concentrate on the bigger puzzles first . This may be the way the
marks are distributed:
8 marks and 6 marks - George Sammers and Verbal Reasoning

(R.S Agarwal)
4 marks and 5 marks and 3 makrs - Shakuntala Devi books and
Ravi Narula and Quantitative Aptitude(R.S Agarwal)
Some questions from Previous Papers
Now lets start of with the schedule :
DAY 1 : Start off with Puzzles to Puzzle you - Shakuntala Devi and
finish as mush as possible.Decide to only finish the book and call
the day off. Note down the sums which you are not able to solve or
need the answers to solve and keep this list safely. After you go
through the whole book, go back to thses questions and just check
out the way they are solced. Sometimes they will not be explained.
In this case you have no choice but to leave them. But some sums
will have some funny explanations.Just rememeber the way or method.
DAY 2 : Now take a break off from Shakuntala Devi and then start
Verbal Reasoning - R.S Agarwal . In this you just have to do the
Puzzle Test Chapter fully , and have a look at the Number, Ranking
and Sequence Test chapter. I contains fully George Sammers type
question on easier scale but you woudl be able to uderstand the
basic logic of solving George Sammers type questions.Finish off the
whole book during the second day.There is just one or two methods to
solve these sort of questions and the explanation is very clear .
Once you get the method , you can solve al the puzzles in this, but
just in case do go through all the puzzles. there have been puzzles
in previous papers from here.Once ou get the method well, there will
not be any revision necessary in this book . But you will have to
concentrate on the method.
DAY 3 : Now back to More Puzzles - Shakuntala Dei and follow the
same procedure you followed for the first book.
DAY 4 and DAY 5: Get your George Sammers book and start off solving
the puzzles. The first half is kind of easy, btu dont be worried if
your not able to solve much. Even one or two is enough . The Rest ,
you just have to use the scheme and the solutions and then
understand the puzzle thoroughly. Many papers have similar sums with
the names changed. Try to finish the first half in a day . And start
off the second half . The second half is relatively tougher, and it
will be very confusing. Just try to solve some. The second half ,
even the solutions will confuse you more. So just solve as many as
you can. The rest you can make use of the soultions . If they are
too complex, Leave them aside. Note down all sums you could not
solve or could solve only using the solutions and list them . When
you are through the whole book, just revise all the sums, giving
preference to the ones that you have listed . It si okay even if you
sit with George Sammers for three days. But you must fully be able
to undertsand all the question in the First part. The second part ,
atleast maybe few sums are optional.
DAY 6 : Take your quantitative Aptitude book by R.S Agarwal and work
out the following chapters fully. Note down tough sums and their
solutions and come back to solve thme and revise them .
The chapters to be done are :
(1) Time and Distance (very important)
(2) Time and Work
(3) Pipes and Cisterns
(4) Trains
(5) Boats
DAY 7 : Revise Shakuntala Devi book-1 and revise it well. Not

necessary to wokr out the porblems. Just check if your method is
correct . The sums you have listed, give them extra importance. By
the end of this day , you must Shakuntala Devi book-1(Puzzles to
Puzzle you ) on your finger tips.
DAY 8 : Revise the book-2 of Shakuntala Devi , just how you revised
the first book.End of this day you shoudl ahve both Shakuntala devi
books at your finger tips.
DAY 9 : Revise George Sammers, such that you can easily solve the
whole first part . The second part , leave ii , if it is tough.
DAY 10 : Check out Ravi Narula. The sums are very tough . It will be
enough if you just c the solutions and understand them . Some sums
are asked in some papers.( There is one questin abt some ANYMAN
reaching ANYWHERE. His tyre gets punctured and he reaches late.If
his tyre got punctured earlier / later then he would have reached
earlier/later. How far did he travel..soemthing like that).that is
form this book . Many papers have this sum repeated. But the names
are changed. Ravi Narula is just optional, but I suggest that you go
through all sums and their solution atleast once.Dont take too much
time on Ravi Narula. Just three or four hours would be sufficient.
INTERVIEW : Interview is Casual.If you have done excellently well in

the test , your interview process is very simple and a walkthrough

Go for a mock exercise before the real talk at the job table ...............
Campus So what if you are not a mountaineer. Or a keen hiker. You still cannot treat your
interview like a careless morning trot along a jogger's path. Your jaw-jaw at the interview table is
nothing less than a cautious climb up a mountain trail--which begins around your early childhood
and meanders through the years at the academia before reaching a new summit in your career.
And as you retrace your steps down memory lane make sure that you post flags at important
landmarks of your life and career, so that you can pop them before the interview panel scoops
them out of you. You don't want to be at the receiving end, do you?
Face the panel, but don't fall of the chair in a headlong rush-and-skid attempt to tell your story.
Take one step at a time. If you place your foot on slippery ground, you could be ejecting out on a
free fall.
So prepare, fortify your thoughts, re-jig your memory, and script and design your story (without
frills and falsity). Without the right preparation and storyboard, you could be a loser at the
interview. Here are a few preparation tips that books on interviews sometimes overlook.
Before the interview
1. Chronological Outline of Career and Education Divide your life into "segments" defining
your university, first job, second job. For each stage, jot down :
The reason for opting certain course or profession; Your job responsibilities in your
previous/current job; Reason of leaving your earlier/current job. You should be clear in your mind
where you want to be in the short and long term and ask yourself the reason why you would be
appropriate for the job you are being interviewed for and how it will give shape to your future
course.
2. Strengths and Weaknesses
You should keep a regular check on your strengths and weaknesses. Write down three (3)
technical and three (3) non-technical personal strengths. Most importantly, show examples of
your skills. This proves more effective than simply talking about them. So if you're asked about a
general skill, provide a specific example to help you fulfil the interviewer's expectations. It isn't
enough to say you've got "excellent leadership skills". Instead, try saying:
"I think I have excellent leaderships skills which I have acquired through a combination of
effective communication, delegation and personal interaction. This has helped my team achieve
its goals."
As compared to strengths, the area of weaknesses is difficult to handle. Put across your
weakness in such a way that it at leaset seems to be a positive virtue to the interviewer. Describe
a weakness or area for development that you have worked on and have now overcome.
3. Questions you should be prepared for
Tell us about yourself.

What do you know about our company?
Why do you want to join our company?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
How have you improved the nature of your job in the past years of your working? Why should we
hire you?
What contributions to profits have you made in your present or former company? Why are you
looking for a change?
Answers to some difficult questions :
Tell me about yourself ?

Start from your education and give a brief coverage of previous experiences. Emphasise more on
your recent experience explaining your job profile.
What do you think of your boss?

Put across a positive image, but don't exaggerate.
Why should we hire you? Or why are you interested in this job?
Sum up your work experiences with your abilities and emphasise your strongest qualities and
achievements. Let your interviewer know that you will prove to be an asset to the company.
How much money do you want?

Indicate your present salary and emphasise that the opportunity is the most important
consideration.
Do you prefer to work in a group?

Be honest and give examples how you've worked by yourself and also with others. Prove your
flexibility.
4. Questions to Ask
At the end of the interview, most interviewers generally ask if you have any questions. Therefore,
you should be prepared beforehand with 2-3 technical and 2-3 non-technical questions and
commit them to your memory before the interview.
Do not ask queries related to your salary, vacation, bonuses, or other benefits. This information
should be discussed at the time of getting your joining letter. Here we are giving few sample
questions that you can ask at the time of your interview.
Sample Questions
Could you tell me the growth plans and goals for the company?
What skills are important to be successful in this position?
Why did you join this company? (optional)
What's the criteria your company uses for performance appraisal?
With whom will I be interacting most frequently and what are their responsibilities and the nature
of our interaction?
What is the time frame for making a decision at this position?
What made the previous persons in this position successful/unsuccessful?
5. Do your homework
Before going for an interview, find out as much information on the company (go to JobsAhead
Company Q and A) as possible. The best sources are the public library, the Internet (you can
check out the company's site), and can even call the company and get the required information.
The information gives you a one-up in the interview besides proving your content company or
position.
Clearing the interview isn't necessarily a solitary attempt. Seek assistance from individuals who
are in the profession and whose counsel you value most. Be confident in your approach and
attitude; let the panel feel it through your demeanour, body language and dressing.
Getting prepared for your interview is the best way to dig deep and know yourself. You will be
surprised that it would breed a new familiarity become more familiar with your own qualifications
that will be make you present yourself better. All the best and get ready to give a treat.
