C# Interview Questions

CS1.cs

using System;

public class Program
{
	static string location = default(string);
	static DateTime time = default(DateTime);
	
	public static void Main()
	{
		Console.WriteLine(location == null ? "location is null" : location);
		Console.WriteLine(time == DateTime.MinValue ? "time is MinValue" : time.ToString());
	}
}

// What is the output of the short program below? Explain your answer.

CS2.cs

using System.Linq;
public class Program
{
	public static void Main()
	{
		int[] numbers = { 30, 325, 18, 92, 100, 42, 72 };

		// Use linq to find which numbers are evenly divisible by 5.
    }
}

CS3.cs

// What is the output of the program below? Explain your answer.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Program
{
	public static void Main()
	{
		var printers = new List<Action>();
		var i = 0;
		
		for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		{
			printers.Add(() => Console.WriteLine(i));
		}

		foreach (var printer in printers)
		{
			printer();
		}
	}
}

CS4.cs

// What is the output of the program below? Explain your answer.

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class Program
{
	private static string _result = "Nothing";
	
	public static void Main()
	{
		SaySomethingAsync();
		Console.WriteLine(_result);
	}

	public static async Task<string> SaySomethingAsync()
	{
		await Task.Delay(5);
		_result = "Something";
		return "SaySomething exited";
	}
}

// Also, would the answer change if we were to replace await Task.Delay(5); with Thread.Sleep(5)? Why or why not?

CS5.cs

// What is the output of the short program below? Explain your answer.

using System;

      Console.WriteLine(myNumber);
   }

   private static void DoSomething(int someNumber)
   {

   }
}

CS6.cs

using System;

			return 2;
		}
		finally
		{

}

CS7.cs

using System;

		// Given an instance of the Circle class
		// Write code to calculate the circumference of the circle (2 * pi * r)
		// without modifying the Circle class itself.
		
	}

CS9.md

Write a function in any language (preferable C#) which computes the angle between the hand hands of a clock given a time of day. The function must work for all combinations of hour and minute.

inputs: int hour, int minute
output: float angle (in degrees)

For Example:

At 3:00 PM, the angle is 90 degrees
