Agree that there are a lot of low level stuff that is really useful. To be honest, I love low level programming.
I’m gonna speak for my course, but here they make us learn Pascal. They say they teach the basic of programming, bur what they evalute is actually how you can solve things on Pascal on a sheet of paper, or not even that. For example, a topical question of the first exam, that is multiple option is a pice of Pascal code and the question is “what does the program prints on the screen after running 3 times?”. Quite useless if you ask me.
Anyway, don’t really know why I started all discussion, let’s stay on topic people
