MathWorks Senior Software Engineer interview questions

, coding interview with binary tree depth-first search algorithm in C++, then a general C++ coding interview. Asked questions about pass by value, pass by reference etc. What is the difference between versions of C++. Polymorphism. Asked for writing code to implement methods. Gave me a class object, asked the role of each part of the code. I am attaching the code that asked me to fill in: include <string> #include <iostream> #include <memory> #include <cassert> #include <vector> enum class BuildType { NORMAL, ACCELERATOR }; class Builder { /* write this class */ }; class NormalBuilder : public Builder { /* write this class */ }; class AcceleratorBuilder : public Builder { /* write this class */ }; std::unique_ptr<Builder> getBuilder(const BuildType aType) { /* write this function */ } class ModelObject { public: ModelObject(const BuildType aType, const std::string& aName) : _type(aType), _name(aName) {} void build() const { auto builder = getBuilder(_type); builder->build(_name); } private: BuildType _type; std::string _name; }; int main() { /* * topModel (normal) * | * --------------------------- * | | * subModel1 (accelerator) subModel2 (accelerator) */ std::vector<ModelObject> objects; objects.emplace_back(ModelObject(BuildType::NORMAL, "topModel")); objects.emplace_back(ModelObject(BuildType::ACCELERATOR, "subModel1")); objects.emplace_back(ModelObject(BuildType::ACCELERATOR, "subModel2")); for (auto & obj : objects) { obj.build(); } } Many questions they asked I forgot and could not practice before the interview. The answers were not on the top of my head as I learned C++ a decade ago and now implement it to solve problems in my research. I have no time to remember many definitions of C++ and no time to keep track of what's new coming to the next C++ version. They said they would let me know their decision by the next week.
