That's a good thought, but low tuition costs mean CS professors at California community colleges are making close to nothing.
Warning, anecdotal evidence, but I took CS at CCSF and when asked how to tell if a number was prime in Java, the professor responded "I don't know, google it. There's probably a function that does that."
- thaumasiotes 8y agoTo be fair, that's the correct answer if you're trying to do a primality test for some non-didactic reason. They're complicated. There are very simple ways to test for primality, but they're... slow. (And at that level, the "in Java" part of the question doesn't make any sense. "What cryptography libraries do you use in Java?" is a perfectly sensible question. "How do you divide numbers in Java?"....)
