The C Programming Literacy benchmark will measure your ability to work with the if and if-else statements, switch-case statements, and ternary operators in C. You will be evaluated on your skills to implement while loops, for loops, do-while loops, break statements, and continue operators. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to work with looping, conditional, and unconditional control structures in C.
