MATH Test
(Time Allowed: 1hr)
Instructions: Please answer the following questions using the information given. No assumptions are necessary.
1. A brick weighs a pound plus 1/2 a brick. How much does a brick weigh?
B=1p+1/2*B => B=2p

Answer: 2 pounds;
2. Could a stack of pennies as high as the C.N. Tower fit into a 2x2x2 foot box? (A penny has a radius of 3/8 inch, and
the C.N. Tower is 1900 feet high)
Lets compare volumes of the cylinder and a cube:

Vcyl = 1900 *3.14*9/64=3835.29;
Vcube = 2*2*2=8;
Conclusion: does not matter how we fill the box (heap or many stacks) it still will not fit.
3. When I am as old as my father is now, I will be five times as old as my son is now. By then my son will be eight years
older than I am now. The combined ages of my father and me are 100 years. How old is my son?
1. I+(FI) = 5*s;
2.S+(FI) = I + 8; => 1. F= 5*S; 2. S= 308 3*F; => S=22;
3. I = 100 F;

Answer: Son is 22 years old;
4. Citizens of Canada pay as much income tax (percentagewise) as they make dollars per week. What is the optimal
salary in Canada?
1. Fmax()=Sal (Sal/100)*Dpw
2. Dpw * 52.18 = Sal.
Where Sal salary, Dpw dollars per week, 52.18 weeks per year.
Fmax()= Sal**2/5218 +Sal
For max first derivative should be 0: Sal/2609 +1 =0 => Sal= 2609
Answer: best salary is $2609/year.
5. A contractor estimated that one of his two bricklayers would take 9 hours to build a certain wall and the other 10
hours. However, he knew from experience that when they worked together, 10 fewer bricks got laid per hour. Since
he was in a hurry, he put both men on the job and found it took exactly 5 hours to build the wall. How many bricks did
it contain?
1. 9*Bh1=10*Bh2
2. Bh1Bh2=10 => Bh1=100; B=5*190=950;
3. B = 5(Bh1 + Bh2)
Answer: the wall contains 950 bricks;
6. The numbers one through seven are mixed up and then drawn from a hat without replacement. What is the
probability that all of the odd numbers will be drawn first?
4 odd numbers in first 7 numbers;

P = P1*P2*P3*P4 = 4/7 * 3/6 * 2/5 * = 1/35
Where P1 = probability to draw odd number out of 7 numbers
P2 probability to draw odd number out of 6 numbers
Answer: P= 1/35
7. A spider needs to eat three flies a day. Until he fills his quota, he has an even chance of catching any fly that
attempts to pass his web. What are a fly's chances of survival, given that five flies have flown by today and no more
will?
Do not get the question; If a fly already did all the rounds why are you asking What are a flys chances?
Should it be What were a flys chances?
8. Smith's chance of hitting his target on a given shot is twice that of his fellow prison guard, Jones. One dark night
they each had time to fire one shot at an escaping prisoner. Given that the prisoner had an even chance of avoiding
injury, what kind of a marksman was Jones?
2/16
23/11/2016
Ps=2*Pj;
Phit = Ps+Pj = 1/2;
Pj = 1/2 2*Pj;
Pj = 1/6;
Answer: Probability that Jones will injures the prisoner is 1/6.
Programming
1. What are the advantages of using composition as opposed to inheritance?
Advantages:
Less work for VM to maintain inheritance.
Simple approach off of two.
Doesnt have to be an object to use composition.
No attribute conflict.
Isolation composee object doesnt know about composer(
Much looser coupling)
2. Which of the following circumstances should throw Exceptions? Explain your reasoning.
Someone tries to set the capacity of a PackingBox to a negative value.

Should be an exception, but not terminal for the application. Depending on approach can be validated right away or upon
form submission, on client or server side (if web form).
A syntax error is found in a configuration file that an object uses to set its initial state.
Depends on type of configuration value. For values which can be defaulted warning message in log file should be enough.
Values failed validation should throw exception.
A method that searches for a programmerspecified word in a string array cannot find any occurrence of the word.
Depends on what is returned from the method. If count of matched rows in string array no exception, just return
0(zero). If returning subset of matching rows generate an exception if no matches found.

3. What are some situations where you would make constructors private?
In a noninsatiable class with static members only.

When you want to hide the copy ctor.
Java

1.UpgradethePersonclassbelowtoimplementtheComparableinterfacesothatitsortsfirstby
lastnamethenbyfirstname.
CODE: SELECT ALL
classPersonimplementsComparable{
Stringm_firstName
Stringm_lastName
publicStringget_FirstName(){returnm_firstName}
publicStringget_LastName(){returnm_lastName}
publicintcompareTo(ObjectPersonToCompareTo)ThrowsException{
intlnWeight=10
intfnWeight=1
if((Person)PersonToCompareTo.get_LastNAme().ToString().equalsIgnoreCase()(
this.get_LastName())){
if((Person)PersonToCompareTo.get_FirstNAme().ToString().equalsIgnoreCase()(
2. Change the function divide() to throw an exception if the den is zero and change the function fun() to catch the
exception.
CODE: SELECT ALL
PublicclassZero_Exceptionextendsexception(){
PublicStrintoString(){

3. Implement the addToBeginningOfList method below.
CODE: SELECT ALL
classNode{
publicintvalue
publicNodenext
}
classLinkedList{
privateNodefirst
publicvoidaddToBeginningOfList(Nodenode){
node.next=this.first
this.first=node
}
}
Database
Consider the following model to support the display of a restaurant menu.

A menu item has a name, a description, and a price (in US dollars). E.g. Grilled Salmon, Freshly caught, herb
encrusted, and lightly grilled, $20.00.
A menu consists of a set of item categories: appetizers, soups, salads, etc.
Each menu item belongs to exactly one category.
The ordering of the categories on the menu and the ordering of the items within a category is specified.
Some items are available only on specified days of the week. E.g. Grilled Salmon only on Monday, Tuesday, and
Friday.
A menu will include a multicourse meal section that lists multiple sets of menu items at a special price. Typically,
a set would consist of an appetizer, soup, or salad plus an entre and a dessert but any combination is possible. Each
set of items is given a name and is available for a single, specified price. A multicourse item is only available on a day
when all of its items are available. E.g. Potato Soup, Grilled Salmon, and Apple Pie for $25.00.
Define database tables for this model. Provide a DDL description if possible or a pseudoDDL description otherwise.
Include constraints such as primary key, foreign key, unique, and check.
CODE: SELECT ALL
5/16
23/11/2016
TableMenu_Item(
Menu_Itam_Id(PRIMARYKEY)notnull,
Menu_Item_Name,
Menu_Item_Description,
Menu_Item_Price,
)
TableCategory(
Category_Id(PRIMARYKEY)notnull,
Category_Name
)
TableMenu(
Order_Of_Categorynotnull,
Write a SQL statement to fetch a list of the names of appetizers for Monday ordered by their prescribed order.
CODE: SELECT ALL
SELECTmi.Menu_Item_Name

WHEREm.Category_id=c.Category_id
ANDm.Menu_Item_Id=mi.Menu_Item_Id

1. What is the difference between malloc and new? Why is one preferable to the other?
Answer:
New is a (C++) operator, but malloc is a function from C library.
New will throw an exception (by default) if theres no memory, but maloc will return NULL.
Malloc will not call a ctor.
With malloc you have to explicitly specify the object size.
Typecast required if calling malloc
Use malloc if you need better control of raw heap memory allocation.
Use malloc if you want to dynamically resize the allocated memory (with realloc)
Use new if you need to call a ctor/dtor, or to use overloading.
Use malloc if you need fine grained control over memory allocation.
2. memset is sometimes used to initialize data in a constructor like the example below. What is the benefit of
initializing this way? Does it work in this example? Does it work in general ? Is it a good idea in general?
CODE: SELECT ALL
classA{
public:
A()
private:
inta
floatf
charstr[35]
long*lp
}
A::A()
{
memset(this,0,sizeof(*this))
}
Answer:
It will not work in general (not for virtual class).
It may work if all the variable formats are specified in class definition.
Will not work on nonPOD classes (the ones only C++ can handle)

Math
1) When customers trade we charge them commission. An order may get broken up into multiple trades. The commission
is based on the number of shares executed for their order. (A negative quantity indicates a sell.) Calculate the
commission for the trades below:
Commission Schedule
<= 500 shares .013/share
> 500 shares .008/share
Order Number Symbol Quantity Commission
1 IBM 450 5.85
1 IBM 150 1.95
3 INTC 500 6.5
4 KO 1,000 8
4 KO 950 7.6
2) Assume a customer can borrow up to 50% of his stock portfolio value to buy additional stock. For example if a customer
has $10,000 worth of IBM and 0 cash they can buy an additional $5,000 of stock. How much more stock can the customer
below buy before he runs out of margin room?
Current IBM Price: 104.00
Current ORCL Price: 20.30
Current Cash Balance: 100,000
Current IBM Position: 5,000 shares
Current ORCL Position: 10,000 shares
Answer:
$100.000 is equivalent of ~962 IBM shares or ~4927 ORCL shares.
Considering this, customer can buy 1538 IBM shares and 5,000 ORCL shares, or 2,500 IBM shares and 73 ORCL shares.
