I have been pondering lately on how to respond when the interviewer asks if you have any questions for them. After much pondering, I have compiled a small list of questions to ask for my next interview.

Edit: This has not been tested and is merely a suggestion to myself (i.e. I use my blog as my notes). Take my words as a grain of salt)

Today I want to explore what name mangling is in C++ and what does extern "C" means.

I always thought it was not possible to create a “dynamic” array in C without the use of malloc till recently where I was introduced to variable length arrays (VLA). Although the use of “dynamic” is a poor choice, the ability to allocate an array at runtime based on a variable whose value is not known till runtime came as a shock to me.

Perhaps I didn’t give it much thought till now. But what are my expectations and goals I want to go back to school and from this degree? That’s what I will be exploring today and on a quarterly basis as I progress through my studies. Especially since the cost of going for another degree and resigning from my job has a lot of costs financially and time.

Today’s post is part 3 of the ongoing series of my decision to go back to school. Though this post is supposed to rationalize and understand why I decided to quit my job to study math and physics, I do not think there is a good reason for this. The idea of going back to school was never a new idea to me as I have been very open to the idea of going back to school ever since I started University. Originally the agreement with my parents when deciding what to do after Highschool was that I graduate from University and they would permit me to go to trade school afterward. Although I had some interest in becoming an electrician, it was just something I decided with no particular reason and decided to stick with it throughout Highschool.
