The Online Evaluation System (Judge)
All exams and exercises from this book are automatically tested through the online Judge system: https://judge.softuni.org. For each of the problems there are visible (zero point) tests to help you understand what is expected of the problem and fix your mistakes, as well as competition tests that are hidden and check if your solution is working properly. In the Judge system you can log in with your softuni.org account.
How does the testing in Judge work? You upload the source code and from the menu below you choose to compile as a C# program. The program is being tested with a series of tests, giving points for each successful test.
