Title: interview questions part 3
Post by puzzlecracker on Dec 15^th, 2004, 2:32pm

OK folks - you seem to slumber off... here is the drill:

1. Using C language allocation constructs, allocate 2 dim array, 3 dim array, then generalize for N dim.

2. As well all know, 'statically' C allocates variables on a stack and dynmucally on the heap, write a function that determines whether stack is 'growing in' or 'growing out'.

3. Give a rudimentary pseudo-code for http-like webserver. How would you write one?

Question 1 is more tedious than challenging, I'll leave that to someone else who doesn't mind the typing ;)

I am not sure what you mean about question 2. Stacks typically start at a memory location and grow down. I also do not see what this has to do with the difference between static/dynamic and stack/heap allocation.

With question 3, what kind of libraries do I have? For example, C has rudimentary libraries for handling network code (actually not part of the C library but Unix has those headers), while Java has a feature-rich library that makes this easy -- I know, because I wrote a simple Java web server because I was bored.
