Webinar "Acceleration on Simple Data Types and Bit Operations"

On April 15, Yandex.Practicum is holding an open webinar "Acceleration on Simple Data Types and Bit Operations . " We invite Python and C / C ++ developers who want to learn tricks for speeding up code, as well as programmers in other languages ​​who are interested in tricks related to data types.



In the webinar, we will briefly talk about how numbers and strings work in different languages, and then dive into the various special effects that can arise from this. You will learn what nasty errors can occur if you mishandle floating point numbers, and why you might need modulo arithmetic. In addition, we will analyze several popular tasks from interviews related to the topic of the webinar.



The webinar will consist of two parts: 80 minutes - overview, 15 minutes - answers to questions.
