Hi There,
ReplyDeleteBrilliant article, glad I slogged through the Nucleus Software Interview Experience-1 it seems that a whole lot of the details really come back to from my past project.
I need a Program In C or either Pascal, including 2 conditions of (if-else) + loops (fixed and non fixed both) in Modular Programming Perspective?
what I tried as I don't know c very well but some how what I did is
By the way do you have any YouTube videos, would love to watch it. I would like to connect you on LinkedIn, great to have experts like you in my connection (In case, if you don’t have any issues).
Grazie,
Peter
