In this section, you will find two sub-groups of questions: the case study and the written response. No technical background is required in order to respond to either of these sections, however, we do expect candidates to use the resources available to them to support their responses (don’t be afraid to do research and use online tools). We advise candidates to write drafts of their responses in a word document before submitting them here.

Learning Goal: I’m working on a computer science question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Case Study

An exceptional candidate’s response will demonstrate their ability to think critically and analytically, be creative, and communicate effectively. This is your time to showcase how you think and what you are capable of delivering. Your responses to these questions will be weighted heavily in terms of your overall application, so make sure to spend an accordingly appropriate amount of time when responding to this section.

Written Response

This section is our opportunity to hear about your life and your perspective, and understand who you are as a person. Great responses will clearly communicate a candidate’s emotional intelligence and motivation for succeeding in the program.

Q4)

If x % 2 = 0 then x is an even number.

If x % 2 > 0 then x is an odd number.

‘%’ is known as a modulo operator.

In your own words, explain what the modulo operator is doing in the context above and how we’re determining whether or not x is an even or odd number. (Small note: This is an application for software engineering bootcamp so they want an extensive analysis-but not so long- and critical thinking, simply comparison between 2 cases and think critically to decide which one is better. I think if you can also include resources for each thesis it would be great. For example: “According to Numbeo.com, Rent in Baltimore is higher than St.Louis” or “According to xxx, this is better choice because yy reason.”)
