So what do you enjoy? "Implement a binary search algorithm for the following list in 10 minutes"? I find CS pop quiz-type questions to be next to worthless in assessing candidates.
- rogy 12y ago+1 so many CS graduate interviews involve these sorts of questions, where, just like many CS exams, the people who can memorise the answers just reel them off as they're usually from a subset of about 20 problems. I know a fair few terrible programmers on £40k+ (GBP) jobs straight out of school, because they memorised this subset of problems.
