C++ Online Test

The C++ Online Test uses scenario-based and code tracing MCQ questions to evaluate a candidate's ability to write C++ programs (data types, functions, data structures, STL), structure the code using Object-oriented programming principles (classes, inheritance, polymorphism, overloading), handle exceptions and manage memory. The test uses coding questions to evaluate hands-on C++ coding skills.

Screen candidates with the highest quality questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

How we design questions

These are just a small sample from our library of 15,000+ questions. The actual questions on this C++ Online Test will be non-googleable.

Registration Queue
Logic
Queues
Solve
We want to register students for the next semester. All students have a receipt which shows the amount pending for the previous semester. A positive amount (or zero) represents that the student has paid extra fees, and a negative amount represents that they have pending fees to be paid. The students are in a queue for the registration. We want to arrange the students in a way such that the students who have a positive amount on the receipt get registered first as compared to the students who have a negative amount. We are given a queue in the form of an array containing the pending amount.
For example, if the initial queue is [20, 70, -40, 30, -10], then the final queue will be [20, 70, 30, -40, -10]. Note that the sequence of students should not be changed while arranging them unless required to meet the condition.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
- The first line of the input is the length of the array. The second line contains all the elements of the array.
- The input is already parsed into an array of "strings" and passed to a function. You will need to convert string to integer/number type inside the function.
- You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.

For the example discussed above, the input will be:
5
20 70 -40 30 -10

Your code needs to print the following to the standard output:
20 70 30 -40 -10

Visitors Count
Strings
Logic
Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. 
Example:

Input:
WWMMWWCCC

Expected Output: 
4W3C2M

Explanation: 
‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. 
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
- The input is already parsed and passed to a function.
- You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.
- If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’.
- If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.

Test candidates on core C++ Hiring Test topics

C++ Basics: C++ Basics covers the fundamental building blocks of the C++ programming language, including data types, variables, and operators. This skill is essential to assess as it forms the foundation for understanding and writing C++ code accurately and efficiently.

Functions, Modules and Data Structures: This skill focuses on the use of functions, modules, and data structures in C++. It is important to measure this skill as it demonstrates the candidate's ability to organize code, manage dependencies, and implement efficient data structures for optimal performance.

Pointers and References: Pointers and references are advanced concepts in C++ that allow for more efficient memory management and manipulation. Measuring this skill helps assess a candidate's understanding of memory allocation, addressing, and the ability to work with complex data structures.

Using Existing Classes and Creating New Classes: Assessing the candidate's ability to work with existing classes and create new classes is crucial for determining proficiency in object-oriented programming. This skill showcases the candidate's knowledge of encapsulation, inheritance, and abstraction, which are fundamental concepts in OOP.

OOPS (Inheritance, Polymorphism, Overloading): OOPS, which stands for Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, and overloading, is a key skill to measure in this test. It helps determine the candidate's understanding of code reuse, flexibility, and extensibility, which are essential principles in designing and implementing modular and maintainable code.

Memory Model and Memory Management: This skill evaluates the candidate's understanding of how memory is organized and managed in C++. It is important to measure as it demonstrates the candidate's knowledge of memory allocation, deallocation, and optimization, which can greatly impact the performance and stability of a program.

STL (Arrays, Vectors, Maps, Sets): Assessing knowledge of the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++ is crucial as it provides a set of powerful data structures and algorithms that can greatly simplify and enhance code development. This skill indicates the candidate's familiarity with using commonly used data structures such as arrays, vectors, maps, and sets, which are essential for efficient and effective programming.

Functions and Class Templates: Understanding and working with function and class templates in C++ is important as it allows for generic programming and code reuse. Measuring this skill helps determine the candidate's ability to write flexible and reusable code that can be adapted to various data types and requirements.

Reading and Writing to Files: Being able to read and write data to files is a crucial skill in many real-world applications. Measuring this skill helps assess the candidate's ability to handle file I/O operations, which are essential for data persistence, configuration, and interaction with external resources.

Catching Errors and Handling Exceptions: Measuring this skill helps determine the candidate's ability to handle errors and exceptions in C++. It demonstrates their proficiency in implementing error detection, recovery, and graceful program termination, which contributes to the robustness and reliability of a software system.

Concurrency Features: Assessing knowledge of concurrency features in C++ is important as it enables multitasking, parallel execution, and efficient utilization of system resources. This skill demonstrates the candidate's understanding of threads, synchronization mechanisms, and the ability to write safe and efficient concurrent code.

How to use C++ Online Test in my hiring process?

You can use this test at the beginning of your recruitment process as a pre-screening tool. Add the test link to your job post or directly invite candidates via email to seamlessly identify skilled candidates.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

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.

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.
