Ask HN: How to learn as much about C or C++ in 3 days
This post is a follow-up question to to this one [1] I posted a couple of weeks ago.
Since I wrote the above post I have been asked to an interview for a position of Embedded Software Engineer. Apparently there is a lot of Assembly Language required, but as well as this they require C or C++ skills.
They do understand I have no such experience with C or C++, but I don't wish to remain totally clueless, so are there any tutorials, reading materials out there that you could recommend I read over the next 3 days to give me some kind of useful knowledge?
Many thanks again for all help received so far, it is much appreciated.

- dman 10y agoSay you dont know C++. Read kernighan ritchie cover to cover.
- Bumsonfire 10y agoYou know what, that's exactly what I'll do. Shouldn't even really have needed to ask such a question :)
- dman 10y agoRemember being calm and composed is half the battle. Dont read till the last minute, take the last half a day to just get into good spirits and get focussed.
- Rannath 10y agoFind out if you're using C or C++ and study which-ever you need, DO NOT study the other. Good practise in one is bad practice in the other and vica-versa
