    Interview coming up

    Hi

    I've got a job interview coming up, for a C++ s/w engineer with a large Anti-Virus company. I've got a degree from Oxford Uni in Maths/Comp Sci and have worked in the games industry for 4 years, since graduating.

    I will be given a C/C++ test at the interview. In order to get into the groove of these kinds of tests, I'm looking to swot up and try go work through typical interview programming problems.

    Does anyone have any good resources and links to thse kinds of things (apart from whats on this site of course)?

    The kind of thing I suspect I'll be faced with is 10-20 lines of code, and being asked to identify the subtle error... buffer overrun, hangin pointer etc...

    I know its all stuff one should know, but actaulyl doing these kinds of tests certainly helps to put one into the right way of thinking ,and can only help. I hope


    Thanks
    Tom

    Not much, but there are a ton more easily findable ones if you're willing to spend money ($10-20). Google is your friend.

    My current employer used several of those during my interview process.
