Programming Technical Interview Questions http://www.technicalinterviews.net This site features a collection of common technical interview questions gathered by a group of programmers who have been through, and given, lots of technical interviews. There is an emphasis on C++ and game programming technical interviews, but most of the questions are relevant to any technical interview.

If so, how do you do it? And why would you want to do it?

Talk about their relative pros and cons and give an example of an application that each language would be well suited for using for development. Explain why.

Discuss the different ways in which you could implement the computer’s artificial intelligence for the game. Which method would you ultimately choose? And why?

The itoa() function constructs a string representation of an integer. The parameters are:

value: the integer to be converted to string representation.
string: points to the buffer that is to hold resulting string.
radix: is the base of the number; must be in the range 2 - 36.

char *itoa(int value, char *string, int radix)

For example, calling the function with the string “reverse this string by words” would return the string as “words by string this reverse”.

void reverseStringbyWords(char *aString)
