What is the Programming Section?

The programming section is a true test of your problem-solving ability using a low-level language. This section is most similar to the content covered in computer science major curriculums. The biggest challenge is using C, a low-level language.

• File Input/Output

• Processing C-strings

• Heap Memory Management

• Pointers

The two sections of this section are:

• Data Serialization -- Reading from serialized (binary) data and processing it.

• Programming -- Reading ASCII data and data processing in C.

To be comfortable with this section, you should be proficient in a low-level language (C) and a high-level language (Python).
