GitHub hosts several types of projects under the 42exam or 42-exam topics to support different stages of the 42 curriculum:

4. The Hardcore Trainer: kgianna/42-exam-rank-02-to-06

Language: C

This repo focuses on the algorithmic deep end. It is organized by difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard). If you are prepping for Rank 04 and above (where you face functions like fprime or sort_int_tab), this is your training ground.

• Key Feature: Clean, Norminette-compliant solutions that prioritize minimalism. In the 42 exam, the shortest code often wins.

Phase 2: The Autopsy

After you fail (or pass), open the solution file from pasqualerossi or kgianna. Compare line by line.

• Did you forget to check for NULL?
• Did you use malloc but forget free? (Instant fail in the exam for memory leaks).
• Did you exceed 25 lines? (Norminette violation).
