Last question was quite complex in details (and I don't remember them now exactly) but basically required you to design an interface of read\write functions to a user supplying virtual addresses and you're given several flash blocks with their own read\write\delete interface and limitations to implement this. Last part is to determine complexity of the operations as a function of the flash storage size.

(A)How to sort a large set of integers in a resource-constrained system (ie you cannot load the whole file in the memory)? (B) Write a function to compute arithmetic sum of n terms, ie n + (n-1) + .. + 3 + 2 + 1. (C) Will endianness be a problem when you write portable code?
