Hey all.
Thought works is coming to our college on 16 and 17 of this august for 2012 pass out batch for the job designation-Application Developer, Business Analyst, Quality Analyst.
They have asked the participants to be proficient in the following technologies:-

• Java / J2EE
• C# / .NET
• Ruby
• Agile Methodologies
• EAI technologies like Tibco, MQSeries & MSMQ
• Web Services

As per the information, the rounds will be same as provided by you.
I'll let everyone know the questions asked once it is done.
Till then 'good luck'.

I attended the programming round. There were two questions, both were quite easy. I dont remember them exactly, but still i am posting abstract here.

Q.1 We were given two countries namely Brazil and Argentina. Both had one inventory each with 100 ipods in them. The cost of ipod in Brazil was 100/unit and in Argentina it was 50/unit but to get ipods form Argentina u also had to pay 400/10units. Now they give us some number and we had to find out which purchase would be cheaper. Once we made the program they asked us to do some changes in that like changing the cost, transportation charge etc.

Q.2 In the second question we were given 3 hotels each had a different rating, different cost on weekdays and weekends. There were two type of customers: regular and reward, they too had different type of rates. Given the type of customer and days we had to find out the cheapest hotel and in case of tie the hotel with higher rating wins.

The questions were easy, but what they were checking was how you have used the language. You can code in any language but if you are coding in C, you must use functions or if you are coding in C++, you must use classes. They emphasized on using object oriented technology.

ThoughtWorks recently visited out campus.....

They just asked the same aptitude papers as of previous papers...
There will be a aptitude booklet whose code is "5B" which word to word same..even the sample question was same
They just opened all the branches.
GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL...I WILL MAIL YOU THE APTITUDE QUESTION PAPER THAT WILL COME..
AND I KNOW they will not even change the aptitude paper.....

Programming question will be same as that is told above.......just prepare for that.......

Theri sample output will be..
Input
<inventory_name>:<ordered_no_of_ipods>
output:
<selling_price>:<Brazil_inv>:<argentina_inv>

Input 1
Brazil:5
Output1
500:95:100

Input 2
Brazil:50
Output 2
4500:100:50

Input 3
Argentina:120
Output 3
7800:80:0

Input 4
Argentina:230
Output 4
OutofStock:100:100

Use classes.....
logic of above question is

You just have to minimize the selling price of buying ipods.
when ipods are to be bought from argentina .. just calcualte the selling price of that ipods.

As inventory is replinshed after every purcahse order transportation cost is 400$ for every 20 units if they are ordered from other country.

Minimization selling price question comes when they are ordered from Brazil inventory..
that is when 10 unints are ordered from Brazil inv they will cost 100 but they can be imported from argentina inv there selling price will be half..
so when 23 units are ordered 20 units will come from Argenitna and then 3 units will be ordered form Brazil

but when 28 units are ordered all 28 can be ordered from argentina

Just calculate mod 10 of ordered ipods if remainder is 0 then just it from Argentina if not calculate remainder if R>=8 ordered all from Argentina
if not ie R<8 ordred remainder ipods from Brazil..

In that case Selling price will be minimum.
Just implement that.....they will just put the same programming question.. and they will give about 3-4 hours for it.


Just be prepared and tell that now students are much aware.

Best of Luck...
