Hello,
When you hae a question, you should start a new topic for your question rather tha posting a reply to a tpic that has been inactive for over a YEAR. . .
When posting interview questions about which you are unsure, you need to post the answer you gave and why this was your answer. Someone will be able to either confirm your answer or explain where you were incorrect. |
