memory-alignment for allocation in C
/*
* In this example, we don't used fixed-length types, which bugs me, but the idea is that it has to work on memory-length numbers.
*
* So it takes long, which is memory address length. So, you can change it to uint64_t or uint32_t, or just ints or size_t if you want
* and it should mostly work. However, for this exmaple to be complete, I needed the rounding to support memory addresses as input.

My favorite interview questions

free-form answer

computer science (algorithms, architecture, data structures, and operating system theory)

  1. under what circumstances would you use an array over an linked-list (or other data structure)?
  2. what is the average search time for a binary search tree?
  • what can impact a binary search tree's performance metrics?
  • how can these algorithmic vulnerabilities be mitigated?
  1. what are at least two approaches to hash table insertion collisions?
  • what are the algorithmic costs to each?
  1. what is the difference between a process and a thread?
