So, CS student here.
Gave TCS "national" level test.
Quoting from the question:
"if you have 3 bytes of memory, it can be used to represent 2^3=8 values in the memory"

This test is a waste of at least 30000+ human hours and these guys didn't even put 24 hours of effort to make sure questions are correct.
Fuck this fucking IT industry.
Fuck the people who designed this testing process.
Fuck the people who endorsed this process.
Fuck the management for passing it as a test.
The people who wrote the test question can go die in hell.
It's not my problem that their mothers fucked Neanderthals.

Uh! All I want is a job but ended up wasting 200+ hours of time.

    If you have three bytes you can represent much more than 8 values though.

    (2^24) -1 != 3

    @BigBoo exactly! These guys messed up the distinction between bits/bytes.

    And, they have the audacity to call themselves IT company.

    @imdnxt Lol. I feel your pain. Oh well.

    There will always be shit people. Some educators will give you garbage advice and teach you the worst way of doing things as the de facto standard.

    Hopefully you learn how to spot them or are critical about what people say.

    @BigBoo you can actually represent 2^24 values

    But the highest number you can represent is (2^24)-1. And that's only true if it's an unsigned number

    Bits not bytes?

    @TafT well unless it is Java. Then you would be lucky to represent 8 vales in only 3 byte (meaning 3 lots of 4 bit memory).

    C guys gotta do a little trolling now and then.

    @BigBoo thats just 2^24 because 0 still represents a value

    @gitlog Yep, someone pointed that out already.

    It's probably just a typo? Not an excuse, but I'm sure TCS people know that much. For all you know they got the questions typed by a typist who doesn't know shit about computers.

    I thaught I might be wrong with my calculation until I read the end of the rant.

    i got hired last year in TCS Digital..I get more than double the usual CTC...and I was told we would be working in AI,IoT etc. its been 4 months here..and the mediocrity here is suffiocating. Its been 4 months and I am so pissed I am already interviewing for startups/other companies... Don't come here.
