Must know C++ interview questions?

Hello!

As a recent CS graduate, I'm looking for work in the video game industry. After passing the LC/HackerRank/Codility screening, I recently received my first interview, thus I'm looking for ideas for "must know" or "gotcha" C++ interview questions. Even though I have some C++ expertise, I still want to be ready.

Since I am aware that this is not a subreddit for game developers, I am exclusively looking for C++ test questions. For what it's worth, this is a position at the junior level.

Any advice is much appreciated!

    Hi, Muhammad Rizwan

    The question is general.
    C++ is close to C#. However, there are still differences, and you should review the syntax. In addition, most of the questions are generic and you can implement them in any language you know and convert them to C++. Since you are working on video games, you may also need to prepare for technical knowledge of graphics.

    Best regards,

    Most interviews don't focus on language but rather your ability to think critically and solve problems. You should be alright as long as you comprehend algorithms and data structures. I wouldn't worry too much until they directly tell you it's about C++.
