Some questions about programming (C++ or Java) along with general questions regarding computers. They sometimes give questions from previous cyber olympiads also.

Next question:2. Can you tell full form of COMPUTER? (a bit childish but may be asked)

Who was the founder partner of Microsoft along with bill gates?

1.That question has come for 3 yrs in a row in TATA IT WIZ.(TCS)

2.neither will this be asked!:razz:

In 2nd question..you mean 2nd co-founder of Microsoft.Its easy one though.

Last one is very popular question for IT-Quiz.+1 FOR THAT.

Here are some more;
1.Full FORM OF modem/lan..Easy ones but common .
2.Father of Free Software Movement.(My fav.)

I never came across a person answering my 2nd question. :|

And TCS asking that question is so lame.

Instead of lan, ask full form of WiFi, all will start scratching their heads. ;)

I read it on internet about an year ago. It was never in the textbook. I thought(/think) that computer didn't stand for anything but it is juster derived from compute. Is the full form genuine? We were taught the full form of ENIAC etc. but not computer.

BTW WiFi, TCP/IP, HTTP, Modem, LAN are quite easy.

some easy questions:
1.Full form of UPS.
2.What does 'href' stand for in HTML.
3.Difference b/w a hackers and crackers

Ya, we were told by our teacher about mother of computer, it wasn't given in book. About full form of computer, I also think its not genuine.

Most questions will be related to internet.
Also questions like 'what is the keyboard shortcut for .... ' will be common.
Also like 'who was the founder of this and that ...'

*NOT EXACTLY* but just the way it is...

Me neither, but i thought if it is IT quiz may be?

@ud0103
How do you decode if you don't know the "language" nor have an example?
