C Internship - Mar-2025

If you are looking for an internship in C programming / algorithm areas, kindly run the C code mentioned below in your computer (preferably Linux ubuntu / redhat / fedora / centos / debian / suse, etc…). Your computer will seem to hang after 5 to 10 minutes of running this code or maybe the program will crash. So, run and review the following C-code under Linux platform & identify 10 Issues with this code.

```
    if (!num)

}
```

After deep analysis of the above code and running the code in your computer, note down those 10 issues along with line numbers in a document and email that document to [email protected] with subject as “C Programming Internship Application – 10 Bugs Identified“. We will review your submission and if it’s correct, you would be called for an Internship in C Programming / Algorithm at Sanfoundry.
