Electronic Arts Software Developer Intern Interview Questions and Answers

MCQ based on programming, 2 programming problems

Q1. What is copy constructor ?
Ans. 
Copy constructor is a special constructor that creates a new object by copying an existing object.
• It is used to initialize an object with another object of the same class.

• It takes a reference to an object of the same class as an argument.

• It creates a new object with the same values as the object passed as argument.

• It is automatically called when a new object is created from an existing object.

• Example: MyClass obj1; MyC...read more

Q2. What is shallow copy and deep copy ?
Ans. 
Shallow copy creates a new object with the same reference as the original, while deep copy creates a new object with a new reference.
• Shallow copy only copies the top-level object, while deep copy copies all nested objects.

• Shallow copy is faster and uses less memory, while deep copy is slower and uses more memory.

• Examples of shallow copy include copying arrays and objects using the spread operator, while examples of dee...read more

Q4. What are Virtual Functions ?
Ans. 
Virtual functions are functions that can be overridden by derived classes.
• Virtual functions are declared in a base class and can be overridden in derived classes.

• They allow for polymorphism, where a derived class object can be treated as a base class object.

• Virtual functions are called based on the actual object type, not the pointer or reference type.

• They are declared using the virtual keyword in the base class and ca...read more

Q2. Standard template library in C++

Ans. 

STL in C++ provides reusable algorithms and data structures for efficient programming.

• STL includes containers like vector, list, map, algorithms like sort, find, and iterators.

• Example: vector v = {1, 2, 3}; sort(v.begin(), v.end());

• STL saves time by providing pre-implemented solutions for common programming tasks.
