logic - C++ interview preparation

Answer 1

Make sure you know your basic data structures and algorithms. You're more likely to be asked about that stuff than something higher up the food chain. Those are usually saved for the in-person interview.

Put another way: be solid with the fundamentals and solid with your C++ syntax. Also, knowledge of common libraries like STL and Boost couldn't hurt...but be sure you know what those libraries give you! In the end phone screens are there to cull out people who can't do the basics. Prove you can and you should move on to the next step. Good luck!

Here's some links of interview questions to check out:

• C++ Interview Questions @ DevBistro
• C++ Interview Questions @ Blogspot
• C++ Interview Questions @ FYI Center
• Steve Yegge's Five Essential Phone Screen Questions (added this in response to your edit. This isn't C++-only, but a lot of it applies to C++ and I think would be a good read in your situation).

Now, for completion's sake, some books:

• Scott Meyers "Effective" series (Effective C++, More Effective C++, Effective STL)
• Herb Sutter's "Exceptional" series (Exceptional C++, More Exceptional C++, Exceptional C++ Style)
• The C++ Standard Library by Josuttis
• C++ Primer by Lippman et al
• Stroustrup's text as a reference
