Infer# is an open-source, functional programming language developed by Google in 2019. It is designed to be a safer, more expressive alternative to Haskell, and is based on the ML family of languages. Infer# has been used to develop a variety of applications, including machine learning systems and distributed systems.

First 20 minutes

General Infer# app knowledge and experience

The first 20 minutes of the interview should seek to understand the candidate's general background in Infer# application development, including their experience with various programming languages, databases, and their approach to designing scalable and maintainable systems.

How would you install Infer# on your system?

You can install Infer# by cloning the Infer# repository from GitHub and then building the solution using the .NET Core SDK.

What are the main components of Infer#?

The main components of Infer# are the Infer# language, the Infer# compiler, and the Infer# runtime.

How would you use Infer# to perform static analysis?

Infer# can be used to perform static analysis by writing Infer# code that describes the program to be analyzed and then running the Infer# compiler on this code.

Describe the difference between Infer# and other static analysis tools.

Infer# is a language for describing static analysis, while other tools are usually libraries or frameworks that provide static analysis functionality. This allows for more flexibility and expressiveness in the analyses that can be performed with Infer#.

What are the benefits of using Infer# for static analysis?

The benefits of using Infer# for static analysis include the ability to describe complex analyses in a high-level language, the ability to reuse and combine analyses, and the ability to perform analyses at scale.

Next 20 minutes

Specific Infer# development questions

The next 20 minutes of the interview should focus on the candidate's expertise with specific backend frameworks, their understanding of RESTful APIs, and their experience in handling data storage and retrieval efficiently.

How would you use Infer# to analyze a large codebase?

You can use Infer# to analyze a large codebase by writing Infer# code that describes the analysis to be performed and then running the Infer# compiler on this code in parallel across multiple machines.

Describe the difference between static and dynamic analysis in Infer#.

Static analysis in Infer# involves analyzing the code without executing it, while dynamic analysis involves executing the code and observing its behavior.

What are the limitations of using Infer# for static analysis?

The limitations of using Infer# for static analysis include the difficulty of describing complex analyses in a high-level language and the potential for false positives and false negatives in the analysis results.

How would you handle false positives and false negatives in Infer# analysis results?

You can handle false positives and false negatives in Infer# analysis results by refining the Infer# code that describes the analysis, by adjusting the parameters of the analysis, or by manually reviewing the results.

Describe the difference between the Infer# compiler and the Infer# runtime.

The Infer# compiler is responsible for translating Infer# code into an intermediate representation that can be executed by the Infer# runtime, while the Infer# runtime is responsible for executing this intermediate representation and producing the analysis results.

Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.

At this point, a skilled Infer# engineer should demonstrate strong problem-solving abilities, proficiency in Infer# programming language, and knowledge of software development methodologies. Red flags include lack of hands-on experience, inability to articulate complex concepts, or unfamiliarity with standard coding practices.

Digging deeper

Code questions

These will help you see the candidate's real-world development capabilities with Infer#.

What does the following simple Infer# code do?
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine('Hello, World!');
}
}
This code prints 'Hello, World!' to the console.
What does the following Infer# code do?
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int x = 10;
int y = x++;
Console.WriteLine(y);
}
}
This code declares an integer variable 'x', assigns it a value of 10, then increments 'x' by 1 after assigning its value to 'y'. It then prints the value of 'y', which will be 10.
What will be the output of the following Infer# code?
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List numbers = new List {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
numbers.Reverse();
foreach (int i in numbers)
{
Console.Write(i + ' ');
}
}
}
This code creates a list of integers, reverses the order of the list, and then prints each number in the reversed list. The output will be '5 4 3 2 1 '.
What does the following Infer# code do?
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoWork));
t.Start();
}
static void DoWork()
{
Console.WriteLine('Thread started.');
}
}
This code creates a new thread 't' that runs a method called 'DoWork'. The 'DoWork' method prints 'Thread started.' to the console when the thread starts.

Wrap-up questions

Final candidate for Infer# Developer role questions

The final few questions should evaluate the candidate's teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, assess their knowledge of microservices architecture, serverless computing, and how they handle Infer# application deployments. Inquire about their experience in handling system failures and their approach to debugging and troubleshooting.

What are the performance considerations when using Infer# for static analysis?

The performance considerations when using Infer# for static analysis include the size of the codebase to be analyzed, the complexity of the analysis to be performed, and the available computational resources.

How would you optimize the performance of Infer# analyses?

You can optimize the performance of Infer# analyses by simplifying the Infer# code that describes the analysis, by parallelizing the analysis across multiple machines, or by increasing the available computational resources.

Describe the difference between Infer# and other programming languages.

Infer# is a language specifically designed for describing static analysis, while other programming languages are general-purpose languages that can be used to write a wide range of software applications.
