    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...

    we gt the same questions as posted here bt tre wre 4 group of question books. tey only change the values in the boxes.

    and gt the same questions for the coding round.

    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.

    @atul: can u just post here complete programming question.
    And i wanna know in which language u did coding??

  • Pensu

    @pensu-8tNeGU • Aug 15, 2011

    @caushal: dont wry, they are pretty simple question....u will solve them if you know how to make programs. Just try to use object oriented language i.e. C++ or Java. Though they are fine with C too. Remember your code should be flexible and generous as they will ask you to do some changes and you should be able to do them.

  • kaushal01

    @kaushal01-6AqOYC • Aug 16, 2011

    Thanks

    u did the coding session......???
    plzz can u juzz provide me with complete details....
    And m more comfortable in c than c++.
    Is there any problm regarding that.
    if u just can help me. just give me the idea to make the ist problm in c++.
