On Friday, I have a job interview for a 12-month internship at an engineering firm that develops petroleum reservoir simulations. They've informed me that they'd like to see a sample of my code and there will be a quiz but that it's nothing I can prepare for (I have my doubts).

I'm curious as to what the quiz might be. I'm thinking it will be some sort of problem so they can see how quickly I think on my feet. I've heard some companies ask for a demonstration of code from C standard libraries but I'm not sure what that proves; it's in a library for a reason.

Anyone with tips?

Thanks.
