Hi,

I have a open-book test this week and I've been notified that the test will be an exercise whereby a chunk of legacy code is provided and a requirement to port the code.

I understand what a open-book test is and the requirement of it (to test your thought process etc) but (it's a long shot) what could porting involve? I have a vague idea of what porting is.
