Programming path: Python, then C and C++
How this LMS adds languages without a rewrite, and what the classroom runners can and cannot do.
Objectives
- Start with Python input and print
- Know C/C++ here are classroom subsets, not gcc
- Use Run then Submit in the coding lab
Skills: Python · C · C++
Python first
Read input, convert with int(), print a result. The classroom Python runner is beginner-only: no import, no files, no network. Future languages (Java, Go, TypeScript, PHP, Rust) can be added as new catalog entries and runners — the student history table already stores a language string.
C and C++ in this classroom
C and C++ problems use a small interpreter, not gcc on the application server. printf-style output is enough for the first labs. You cannot call system() or open host files. That is intentional security, not a missing feature on the live site.
