The "Basic" version usually targets the initial levels of the exam system (often corresponding to the "Born2beroot" or simple algorithm tasks). Its primary goal is to help students practice solving problems under time constraints, mimicking the pressure of the actual exam.

A or Basic Tester is a local simulation tool built by students. It mimics the behavior of the school's grading system. It automatically feeds test scripts to your code to verify its accuracy before you sit for the actual test. Key Objectives of the Tool

The automated grading bot used by 42, often referred to as the Moulinette, checks for exact output matching, memory safety, and adherence to "The Norm" (the school's strict coding style guide). This repository explicitly warns students about hidden test cases—such as empty strings, negative integer bounds, and massive inputs—that the Moulinette uses to break student code.
