Yeah, thats true.. Today my gsoc project - Umbrello helped me do well in my viva during my practical exam for the subject OOPS.
The actual program i got in my exam was to demo Quick Sort which was fairly easy. After that there was a brief session of viva. The first few were good ground up c++ questions which i could answer.
The last two questions were surprisingly based on uml class diagrams (which we have in next semester) Good news, is i could answer them easily as that is what my project is based on :P
Honestly though the answers might not directly map to marks it surely has helped to earn some *impression* about me :)
Now, that one practical is over, I have Microprocessor programming practical exam on 11th. The problem with that exam is, we are most of the times not confident of getting output in the hardware part(elevator, keypad..)
I have actually understood the assembly language constructs well, as i also double as teacher sometimes to my friends ;)
Good thing is i found an 8086 emulator designed by my seniors which works fairly well. I was just thinking why they didn’t make it open source.
Anyways I got to still practice some programs.
GSoC needs to wait for my exams to get over now :(
