Ask to build small program(s) that would cover most fundamentals - lots of people pretend to be advanced while failing to answer simple things.
That should give an idea what they are in reality.
Good luck with your search.

if you ever taken any test on expert rating, you'd see that most questions are simple questions. They don't ask complex questions.
Of course, if you know the basics of any language, you can take it to the advance level

Expert rating ask simple, but technical questions. Try your hands to get some ideas

I agree with sticking to simple questions. My favourite: write pseudo-code to implement an n-byte integer, with methods to print, add and subtract two such numbers.

One of the very early interviews (1998) I was called for involved the following:
This was on VB6. There was no google.
1) Establish connection to a database and fetch a result.
2) Write a sort routine.
3) Write a routine to determine if a word is a palindrome.
