The dataset comes from the HackerRank site, 329,937 C# source codes of 22 tasks were collected and all verified by unit tests.

During the download process, source codes received only a unique serial number instead of the user name who solved the task and stored inside the 'task_name/origin' folder. After collecting the data, a new database was created, which included cleaned-up versions of the source codes ('task_name/cleaned' folders contains). Finally, a third set of data was extracted from this cleaned-up version, where a delimiter was inserted before and after each elementary expression to support easy processing and analysis processes ('task_name/reduced' folders contains). Inside the 'task_name' folder three csv files, which contain the equality checking result. The compressed folder also contains a vector space (and related files) made from the reduced data set. These four files are directly in the main folder.

As of 2025, JavaScript and HTML/CSS are the most commonly used programming languages among software developers around the world, with more than 66 percent of respondents stating that they used JavaScript and just around 61.9 percent using HTML/CSS. Python, SQL, and Bash/Shell rounded out the top five most widely used programming languages around the world. Programming languages At a very basic level, programming languages serve as sets of instructions that direct computers on how to behave and carry out tasks. Thanks to the increased prevalence of, and reliance on, computers and electronic devices in today’s society, these languages play a crucial role in the everyday lives of people around the world. An increasing number of people are interested in furthering their understanding of these tools through courses and bootcamps, while current developers are constantly seeking new languages and resources to learn to add to their skills. Furthermore, programming knowledge is becoming an important skill to possess within various industries throughout the business world. Job seekers with skills in Python, R, and SQL will find their knowledge to be among the most highly desirable data science skills and likely assist in their search for employment.
