    C++ is one of the most common languages asked about in technical interviews. It is widely used because of its speed, flexibility, and support for both low-level programming and advanced features like OOP and templates.

    Topic-wise Interview Questions:

    • Basics & Program Structure
    • Core Concepts & Memory Handling
    • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
    • Exception Handling & Templates
    • STL (Standard Template Library)
    • Advanced Topics & Design Patterns

    Relevant Resources

    To do well in interviews, you need to understand core syntax, OOP concepts, STL, memory handling, and advanced features.

    1. Core Concepts : Arrays, String, Pointers, References, Dynamic Memory (new/delete), Memory Leaks, Shallow vs Deep Copy, Smart Pointers, Object Oriented Programming

    2. Advanced Topics : Exception Handling, Templates, STL, Multithreading, Lambda Expressions, Move Semantics, Memory Models and Design Patterns (Singleton, Factory, Observer)
