How's this for simple terms? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PascalTriangleAnimated2.gif http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PascalTriangleAnimated2.gi... It's on Wikipedia's page for Pascal's triangle. If your response to that page is to have your eyes 'glaze over' to the point where you can't find the animation (which has a simply-worded caption explaining the triangle), why should someone want to hire you?
- trevelyan 15y agoI'll tell you why anyone would hire me if you can answer my simple question about the relative efficiencies of the top-down versus recursive solutions. You've already had an hour and claim to be familiar with the problem space, so I think it's a fair measure of your suitability in this space. I'm going to go for coffee, but there's a whiteboard right there. Shouldn't take more than a minute or two.
