While that may be the case for some employees, I expect that for any programming work to be done at all, you're able to merge two sorted lists. If a candidate cannot do that I have little faith their abilities to program in general. Note that this is not CS stuff at all, but beginner programming tutorial stuff.
- geebee 10y agoI hear you. We should acknowledge, though, that this goes well beyond merging sorted lists. My guess is that there are lots of people who can do this but are filtered out by considerably more difficult questions. Even with merging two sorted lists, remember that you're asking people to merge two sorted lists at a whiteboard while explaining what they're doing, under somewhat stressful conditions, which may trip up someone who could do this easily at a keyboard.
