Your code is graded by a script (often referred to as "Moulinette") immediately after you submit.
Since you can't use the internet, you must write your own main.c to test your functions. Tip: Always compile with flags ( -Wall -Wextra -Werror ) to ensure your code matches 42's strict standards. Logging In to the Real Exam | |
For assignments requiring malloc , the Memory Map pane visualizes allocated blocks.
Now we start moving. You are expected to write simple functions without loops, or with one loop.
: Code is compiled with -Wall -Wextra -Werror . Ensure your code is clean and follows the norm, or the Moulinette will reject it immediately.
