    That’s fine if there are no weird pedantic ropes to fall over. I am not a compiler or linker, that’s what I have compilers and linkers for. Same with an IDE. I don’t know many details of the stdlib or other common libs, because why should I waste space in my brain for stuff code completion can show me…

      The kind of bugs I’m talking about are things like “the logical flow of the code is broken because the order of the if/else if/else branches is wrong”, “this program never finishes because you don’t increment that counter” and “you specified print the numbers 1 to 100, but that counter starts at 0”.

      I’m testing your ability to think logically, not your knowledge of stdlib trivia
