Sure, but at some point you've probably had to implement some sort of novel algorithm. The reason they make you implement a sort algorithm isn't so that you learn to write sort algorithms, it's so that you learn how to implement an algorithm in general.
- scarface74 7y agoIn most jobs - you won’t have to implement any type of complex algorithm. The complexity is usually in the business requirements.
- dagw 7y agoyou won’t have to implement any type of complex algorithm. Even designing and implementing fairly simple algorithms is easy to screw up if you're not sure how to approach it.
