Tag length
80 8
81 16
82 32
83 64
84 128
From IO we are getting some random data, you have to read that data byte by byte
and search for the tag and length here length defines the data size of the tag.
Suppose if we get 81 then 16,then we have to take next 16 bytes as data. Once you
got the tag, length, data store it in a memory. Means we have to create database
and store tag , length and data there.
They wanted to know how do you approach the problem definition, how do you
write the algorithm and code.
Which data structure you will choose.
Note : This problem is similar to mp3 tag reader project
