Hi,

We should change the question number 2 from the tests to this:

----begin----
What is the output when the following code fragment is executed? Also, please identify any "potential" problems. Hint: printf function call

main() {
    char smallNumber=123;
    char *p=new char[100];
    memset(p,0,100);
    strcpy(p,"Text containing 24 bytes");
    printf("%d %d %d",sizeof(*p),sizeof(p),smallNumber);
}
----end----

The answer would be like this:

Output:
	32 bits machine: 1 4 123
	64 bits machine: 1 8 123
Potential problem:
	The format specifiers are incorrect. Last %d from the printf call will try to access a 32 bit value while the supplied value (smallNumber) is an 8 bit number. Depending on the compiler implementation, this could generate a buffer overrun. The correct way of re-writing that is like this:
	printf("%"PRIz"u %"PRIz"u %"PRId8,sizeof(*p),sizeof(p),smallNumber);

While this is a very simple question, the answer to this one could provide us with great insights about the subject's level of experience. I don't expect everybody to identify the issue, but the output should be like that.

Overall assessment:

Single answer: 1 4 123 - between beginner and moderate experience
Full answer (both 32 and 64 bits) - above moderate experience
Identifying the problem: - very high chances this could be a real experienced guy
