Yes. I've filtered out countless candidates who can't code like this. It's amazing how people will fire off applications to jobs they can't do. You might doubt this because you wouldn't do it, but just wait until you get to sift through a fresh wave of applicants. Has everyone I hired got "perfect marks" on the test? Of course not! It's not about that. It's about seeing how they react to a problem, watching them break it down, ask questions, and, ultimately, get on with it. If the job is too sweep floors you need to be able to hold a broom. It's as simple as that.
