Question 1

What is Codestroke?

Accepted Answer

Codestroke is a free online typing speed test designed for developers. Instead of plain prose, you type real code snippets in languages like JavaScript, Python, SQL, Java, C++ and HTML.

Question 2

Why does Codestroke measure CPM instead of WPM?

Accepted Answer

Code is full of symbols, brackets and short tokens, so words-per-minute is a poor fit. Codestroke reports characters-per-minute (CPM) for a more accurate measure of coding typing speed, while still showing WPM.

Accepted Answer

You can practice typing real snippets in JavaScript, Python, SQL, Java, C++ and HTML/CSS.

Question 4

Is Codestroke free to use?
