Interviewing for a computing job generally requires answering some programming questions on the spot. That is, the interviewer will give you a question which you will need to solve by writing a program in the whiteboard. These questions are designed to gage your ability to solve problems. We have collected some of these questions from the net and placed them here.

1. Software and Hardware questions

4. Another set of puzzle questions.
5. More questions.
