          “You should have known what the intent of the question was. Management won’t know or care about the internals of your code as long as it meets requirements. You have failed this test.”

          Or

          “You should know that you’re calling a function with invalid parameters. Where did you get your CS degree from again?”

          no the school can realistically choose any sensible language, the one in the exam question is a pseudocode one that is used only to make the exam questions understandable regardless of which language you studied
