That's why I suggested using FreeNX and a bootable flash drive, then you DO have all the power on the back-end and aren't limited to a browser on the front end.

This has nothing to do with it being statically sized or variably sized. You have to know what size it is when you are going to reverse it. The solution presented works as long as the programmer knows what the size is. If you want to posi

You don't; it's basically, "here's an array, now reverse it" (keep in mind a pointer is not an array). http://www.lysator.liu.se/faq/c-faq/c-2.html The general point is that interviews of this type are counterproductive.

I meant $25m as a dollar figure is a tiny amount when compared to today's acquisition prices (which may follow Angel-only investing) and considering how big a chunk of Google they got for it. Perhaps that's hindsight, but even at the time

It does work, you do the 3-step XOR with a[0] and a[last], then a[1] and a[last-1], etc. The 3-step XOR from the OP swaps the data. Here it is with a 4-element array, a[0] through a[3]: a=[100,200,300,400] a[0] ^= a[3] a[3] ^= a[0]

... and where you are in the array, hence the temp variable. Write it out to see. So it still doesn't work, even if you use a function to "cheat" and get a "free" pointer (which, by the way, wasn't what the task said).

This is kind of the point, as most start-ups are mostly technical people who only appoint one of themselves as CEO because somebody has to be. It's not a question of ability but of desire; lack of experience is obviously to be expected,
