IOvraag

IOvraag is a term used in Dutch-speaking computing and education to describe a question or task focused on input/output (I/O) operations. The term combines IO, the standard abbreviation for input/output in computing, with vraag, the Dutch word for question.

In practice, an IOvraag refers to exercises or exam problems that require reading data from input, processing it, and producing output, often under specified constraints. They appear in programming courses, online judge platforms, and textbooks.

It emphasizes I/O handling as a core part of the problem, sometimes including constraints on speed or memory, and may involve aspects such as line-based input, tokenization, parsing, formatting, or file/stream I/O.

IOvraag tasks are used to teach or assess fundamental programming skills, such as careful parsing, correct formatting of output, and understanding of input templates. They are commonly introduced early in curricula and appear across languages, with language-specific I/O functions.

Related concepts include IO-bound tasks, input/output patterns, and competitive programming problems. While not a formal standard, IOvraag serves as a practical label for I/O-centric exercises in Dutch educational material.
