You take the test and do your best. They're not testing how good your code looks, but to see how much effort you're will to make to solve a problem on the spot

You take the test and do your best. They're not testing how good your code looks, but to see how much effort you're will to make to solve a problem on the spot OR to see if you are someone who will look at the screen dumbfounded and will simply give up.
Being a programmer isn't about knowing a specific language, it's about having the ability to solve problems.
- DanBC 15y agoProgrammers do it on paper in pseudo-code and Jackson Structured Programming charts while coders convert that into a program? (The programmer and coder might be the same person.)
- joezydeco 15y ago"They won't hire you if you can't learn the language on the spot." Learn the language is a pretty vague criteria. Do they want you to write helloworld? Modify a working routine? Write fibonacci? What will they be doing to test you? This firm wouldn't happen to be Goldman Sachs, would it?
