HoneyWell Test Paper I
Honeywell Test Paper - I
Wrote Honeywell test on June 11, 2006 at Loyola College Chennai and got selected for technical interviews. Interview was at Madurai. Since I am from Computer Science & Engineering branch, I am giving only CSE paper, they had two different papers, one for CS and other for Electronics streams.
There was two Parts of test, first containing 100 multiple choice questions and second containing descriptive questions from various subjects of CSE. Multiple choice questions had 25% NEGATIVE marks on wrong answers. Descriptive questions are very important, because it is going to play very important role for your selection and in Interviews too they will have your descriptive answer sheet and will ask questions from that. So write well descriptive questions, it is not very tough.
Part I
(Time 90 minutes) with Negative marks.
Multiple choice questions ware divided into three parts
1. 50 Technical questions from the following subjects {C, C++, Data structure, Operating System, Computer Networks, Database, Software Engineering, Real time systems, Compiler Design, Algorithms, Microprocessor and Computer architecture.} From every these subjects they has asked 3-7 questions.
2. 30 questions from C( It was same for all branches). 30 C programs ware given and we ware asked to find the output of those programs or what is error in that. Almost all programs ware from structure, union, pointers, Arrays, Enumerated data types and macros.
3. 20 Aptitude questions( Very Very easy, even class 8 th student can solve all 20 questions.)
Part II
(Time 30 Minute) NO ?ve Marks.
Honeywell Test Paper - Part 2
Descriptive questions (3)
1. What is the difference between process and threads? 2 marks
2. Some numbers ware given we were to construct binary tree for that. 4 marks
3. Write a program to add two complex number using structure in C which takes input and print output in Main(). 4marks.
Answer to Question 3::
//Addition of Two complex number using structure
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
struct comp
{
int real;
int imag;
} s,t;
void Add(struct comp *, struct comp *);
void main()
{
clrscr();
printf("Enter the two complex numbers
");
printf("(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
");
scanf("%d%d%d%d", &s.real, &s.imag, &t.real, &t.imag);
Add(&s, &t);
printf("
Sum of two complex number is: %d+i%d ", s.real, s.imag);
getch();
}
void Add( struct comp *s, struct comp *t )
{
s->real = s->real + t->real;
s->imag = s->imag + t->imag;
}
Some of the questions in multiple choice ware
1. Which sorting technique is most efficient with respect to time.
2. Which sorting technique is most efficient in both best and worst cases.
3. Which one is correct order of sorting techniques with respect to space complexity.
a. merge sorts, Bubble sort, Heap sort b. Quick sort, Heap sort, Insertion sort?

HoneyWell Test Paper I
Honeywell Test Paper - I
Wrote Honeywell test on June 11, 2006 at Loyola College Chennai and got selected for technical interviews. Interview was at Madurai. Since I am from Computer Science & Engineering branch, I am giving only CSE paper, they had two different papers, one for CS and other for Electronics streams.
There was two Parts of test, first containing 100 multiple choice questions and second containing descriptive questions from various subjects of CSE. Multiple choice questions had 25% NEGATIVE marks on wrong answers. Descriptive questions are very important, because it is going to play very important role for your selection and in Interviews too they will have your descriptive answer sheet and will ask questions from that. So write well descriptive questions, it is not very tough.
Part I
(Time 90 minutes) with Negative marks.
Multiple choice questions ware divided into three parts
1. 50 Technical questions from the following subjects {C, C++, Data structure, Operating System, Computer Networks, Database, Software Engineering, Real time systems, Compiler Design, Algorithms, Microprocessor and Computer architecture.} From every these subjects they has asked 3-7 questions.
2. 30 questions from C( It was same for all branches). 30 C programs ware given and we ware asked to find the output of those programs or what is error in that. Almost all programs ware from structure, union, pointers, Arrays, Enumerated data types and macros.
3. 20 Aptitude questions( Very Very easy, even class 8 th student can solve all 20 questions.)
Part II
(Time 30 Minute) NO ?ve Marks.
Honeywell Test Paper - Part 2
Descriptive questions (3)
1. What is the difference between process and threads? 2 marks
2. Some numbers ware given we were to construct binary tree for that. 4 marks
3. Write a program to add two complex number using structure in C which takes input and print output in Main(). 4marks.
Answer to Question 3::
//Addition of Two complex number using structure
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
struct comp
{
int real;
int imag;
} s,t;
void Add(struct comp *, struct comp *);
void main()
{
clrscr();
printf("Enter the two complex numbers
");
printf("(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
");
scanf("%d%d%d%d", &s.real, &s.imag, &t.real, &t.imag);
Add(&s, &t);
printf("
Sum of two complex number is: %d+i%d ", s.real, s.imag);
getch();
}
void Add( struct comp *s, struct comp *t )
{
s->real = s->real + t->real;
s->imag = s->imag + t->imag;
}
Some of the questions in multiple choice ware
1. Which sorting technique is most efficient with respect to time.
2. Which sorting technique is most efficient in both best and worst cases.
3. Which one is correct order of sorting techniques with respect to space complexity.
a. merge sorts, Bubble sort, Heap sort b. Quick sort, Heap sort, Insertion sort?
4. If timing requirement is the main issue, which system will you prefer
a. Hard real time system, b. Soft real time system, c. Mission critical syste,
5. Bankers algorithm is used for
a. Deadlock Preventions b. Deadlock avoidance c. deadlock detection?..
6. One expression was given and we was to find postfix notation for that.
7. For a tree find the breadth first traversals.
8. For a given binary tree find the correct preorder traversal.
9. Which one is correct syntax of pointer of a function.
10. For a given union, what is the memory space allocated for its variables.
11. Error correction is done in which layer of OSI reference model.
There were three rounds of Interviews
1. 1st Technical (40-60 minute)
2. 2nd Technical (30-45 minute)
3. HR interview (10-20 minutes)
