TCS Solved Placement Papers

One can expect "odd man out" type questions in quantitative aptitude and verbal sections of TCS placement papers. In case of quantitative aptitude, each of these questions would carry around four options out of which three would be related technically. One would be irrelevant compared to the rest of the members in the group.

Often JAVA related questions are known to be asked in TCS interviews and placement papers. Below are five practice questions from JAVA that can help you to stay prepared for these interviews. These questions are quite basic ones and you can expect similar questions during TCS interviews or interviews of other prominent companies.

Below are few simple interview questions from C which you can expect on interviews by top companies like TCS. Though these questions are extremely simple, a miss in any of the below questions could hamper the impression you could leave on your interviewer. Hence it is very essential that you are very strong with the basics.

Below are few tough C interview questions (supposedly tough, if not, it means you have prepared well :)). You definitely could expect questions from C during TCS interviews. Below questions could help your preparation a bit.

Interview Question I

Answer:
This is a prominent question from OOPS concepts. Two types of polymorphism are a) Overloading and b) Overriding

Placement Question 1

Statement :: Men cause more accidents than women while driving. However men are still better drivers than women. Question :: Which of the following is true considering the above statement

Below are few basic questions that can be expected on TCS interviews. These are not hard to answer but a good preparation is necessary so that you don't miss any.

Interview Question 1 :

1) What is the prime difference between While and Do While Loop ?

Answer :

Though while and do-while are loop statements, in Do While it is assured that the statements within the loop will be executed at least once (even if the condition fails.)

Interview Question 2 :

2) What is the difference between a = ++b and a = b++ ?

Answer :

The first statement a = ++b can be broken down into two statements b = b + 1 followed by a = b. Hence b will be incremented first and will be assigned to a. Hence values of a and b will be same at the end.

The second statement a = b++ can be broken down into two statements a = b followed by b = b + 1. Hence b will be assigned to a. Only after this assignment b will be incremented. Hence values of a and b will be different at the end.

Interview Question 3 :

3) A C program is compiled into native (binary) code by the compiler. Similary what will be generated out of JAVA program source by JAVA compiler ?

Answer :

JAVA program will get compiled into bytecode instead of native (binary) code.

Interview Question 4 :

Practive Question For Your Thought :

Given a for statement for(i = 1;i < 10;i++)
{
printf("hello");
}
Now you can try by yourself rewriting the same logic using while statement.

Generally TCS questions are from sections like basic computer science concepts, C, C++, JAVA basics, Computer Networking, Operating System etc. If you are not from CS background then you should stay well prepared to attend these questions.
