Out of curiosity was the failure at an algorithm level or at a semantic level ? (i.e. could you not put the algorithm down on paper, or was it just a case of not remembering the correct syntax or libraries)
- znt 16y agoAlgorithm was fine in both cases, I had the problem solved in my head but couldn't pass it onto paper effectively. I had trouble remembering semantics. Because I use autocomplete functions of IDEs a lot.
- puredemo 16y agoPersonally, (visual and diagnosed ADD) it's very difficult for me to think through algorithms under pressure, or in environments with distractions. Stuff that takes me five minutes in a quiet, private, relaxed setting can take me an hour to think through in an environment with more people. Lab courses in college were particularly frustrating for me for this reason.
