> Pre-emptive sidebar: "she should have used Python". Just go away. You are so missing the point. She really should've used Python or something equally higher-level; input processing logic would've taken only a couple of minutes. I know Kroll is ferociously good with C, but it's simply a bad language for tech interviews. (Heck if I was the one hiring and if Kroll applied, I'd straightaway hire her because I know she knows her stuff). Tech interviews are horrible as it is. Python or something similar allows you to focus on solving the actual problem rather than all the nitty-gritty details of getting things airborne.
