title: What kinds of interview questions are appropriate for a c++ phone screen?
body: <p>Curious to get people's thoughts. I conduct frequent interviews, and have had enough in my career to reflect on them, and I've noticed a broad array of questions. I made this c++ specific, but it's worth noting that I have had people ask me algorithmic complexity questions over the phone, and I don't even mean what is the complexity of a hash lookup vs. a binary tree, I mean more like analytical problems, such as "imagine there are 4 bumble bees, each buzzing bla bla bla."</p>
  
  <p>Now personally I prefer to keep phone screens a little more concrete, and leave the abstract questions for the white board. So when conducting c++ phone interviews, what kind of topics do you cover, especially for Sr. developers?</p>
  
  <p>I know there is another thread similar to this, but frankly it seems to completely have missed the point that this is about phone screens, not interviews that are face to face. Plus this is more c++ specific.</p>
