What topics are covered in the C++ (Coding): Entry Level Algorithms Test?

Basic syntax and structure: This involves understanding the fundamental elements of C++ such as variables, data types, and operators. Proficiency in basic syntax is necessary to write and interpret C++ code effectively.

Control flow and loops: Control flow constructs like if-else statements, switch cases, and loops (for, while, do-while) manage the execution of code blocks based on certain conditions. Mastery of these constructs allows developers to create dynamic and responsive programs.

Functions and recursion: Functions enable code reusability and modular program design, while recursion solves problems through repeated function calls. Understanding these concepts is essential for breaking down complex problems.

Basic data structures: This involves the use of arrays, lists, stacks, and queues. Efficient use of basic data structures is key to organizing and managing data within programs.

Simple searching algorithms: Techniques like linear search and binary search are essential for finding elements within data sets. Implementing these algorithms enhances problem-solving skills.

Simple sorting algorithms: Sorting techniques, such as bubble sort and selection sort, are fundamental for organizing data. Understanding them is crucial for optimizing performance in data handling.

Pointers and memory management: Pointers allow direct memory address manipulation, facilitating dynamic memory management. Mastery of pointers is vital for resource optimization and effective memory use.

Error handling: This covers the use of try-catch blocks and exception handling. Robust error handling ensures that programs can manage unexpected conditions gracefully, increasing reliability.

File I/O: Reading from and writing to files is fundamental for data persistence. Proficiency in file I/O operations is necessary for applications that process or store large volumes of data.

Basic string manipulation: Common operations include string concatenation, comparisons, and substring extraction. Efficient string manipulation is crucial for tasks involving text processing.

Fundamental object-oriented concepts: Key concepts include classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism. Object-oriented programming provides a framework for designing scalable and maintainable software.

Standard Template Library basics: The STL provides essential utilities like vectors, maps, and algorithms. Understanding STL is beneficial for writing efficient and cleaner C++ code.

Read more about the proctoring features.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.

I'm a candidate. Can I try a practice test?

No. Unfortunately, we do not support practice tests at the moment. However, you can use our sample questions for practice.

What is the cost of using this test?

You can check out our pricing plans.

Can I get a free trial?

Yes, you can sign up for free and preview this test.
