That's what I mean tho. In high school, they start leetcode practice from day 1 of programming or CS classes. Soon, you will get many leetcoders in the market.
> How does implementing Fibonacci weed out people who can't program at all?
There are many people applying for jobs who can't program a buzz fizz. They exist. A fibonacci is enough to throw them off in an unfamiliar language.
- Kaze404 6y agoWell, for what it's worth I've been programming professionally for 4 years and never had to write fibonacci even one. I think doing something that's more immediately alike what you'll be doing in the project is more productive for both sides.
- xellisx 6y agoWhat they are looking for is recursion. Of course I believe there are more efficient ways of doing Fibonacci in a normal loop.
