SKILL BENCHMARK

C++ Programming Awareness (Entry Level)

  • 15m
  • 15 questions
The C++ Programming Awareness benchmark will measure your ability to understand the basics of C++ and a good sense of why C++ language features evolved the way they did. You will be assessed on your ability to distinguish between variable declaration and initialization, initialize variables using functional, assignment, and braced syntax, and leverage the C++ Boolean type and the std::string class. You will also be evaluated on your knowledge to utilize the auto keyword to infer the type of a variable and deploy IO manipulators to correctly format data on input and output streams. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills necessary to understand the basic elements and features of C++ programming and can write simple programs.
