I've already told you what the error is and where it occurs. If that isn't enough information for you then I am sorry to tell you, you don't have the necessary skill set to work as a programmer.

You've used the same symbol twice in the parameter list. I'm surprised a genius like you can't spot it.

You should probably tone down your arrogance given that the very first example in your list has an error in it.

It just goes to prove how realistic FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition is that I can't tell when people are joking about stuff like this or when they're deadly serious. In fact, I came across a line of code that was basically `two = 2;`

Google publishes many APIs. I know, because we consume them. My company in turn publishes APIs that are consumed by other companies. You're probably right that most people working at FAANG are not allowed to touch a database or set up

I would never change the way I speak to someone just because they're interviewing me. If you're interviewing me it's with a view to working with me on your team a few months later. You would surely want to see the real me, no

If you have to prepare for the interview, doesn't that suggest the assessment isn't representative of day-to-day programming skills? In fact, it suggests the exact opposite. With zero preparation, I could go to an interview with y

You're right that two different terms are in use, but you're wrong (and unnecessarily provocative) to attribute it to race. There's a lack of symmetry between a wealthy Brit moving to Singapore or Dubai and an economic migran

There are many other options available - the groovebox market is booming right now. Even if you don't consider traditional grooveboxes like the Digitakt suitable for creating an actual "song", options like the Polyend Tracker

No, I was just pointing out that its functionality doesn't really justify the price tag when you compare it with what's also available elsewhere. £2,000 would also buy you a Korg Minilogue XD, a Korg Opsix, a Korg Wavestate AND so

In hardware terms, it's the same price as a Yamaha Montage. The OP-1 isn't good value for money no matter how you look at it.

For the same money it would be possible to buy the full version of a DAW of your choice, Kontakt, Arturia V-Collection and a PC to run them all on. I'm sure the OP-1 is fun, but I doubt it's £2,000 worth of fun.

I'm amazed that anyone can find any decent programming content on YouTube. There are low-quality beginners webdev tutorials as far as the eye can see, but otherwise there's seemingly very little outside of rambling and superficial

The only time I've ever had to update legacy code due to a breaking change in PHP is when an old encryption algorithm was withdrawn and I had to write a migration to decrypt and re-encrypt the data we'd originally encrypted with i

Given that failed asylum seekers will almost never be deported, you are essentially arguing for unlimited migration here.

Throwing money at graduate filmmakers and telling them to follow their passions would all but guarantee a catalogue full of $CURRENT_DAY political messaging, which would be poison for subscriber retention.

Personally, I try to stay away from "lifestyle synthesists" like Andrew Huang, Bo Beats and (to a certain extent) Ricky Tinez. I don't like the feeling that I'm being marketed to by an influencer who is in it for the mon

The Definitive editions were developed by a mobile game studio (Grove Street Games) rather than in-house by Rockstar. Rockstar still published them though, so they do bear some responsibility for the quality issues.

Surveys generally indicate that of sites where it is possible to determine the language, somewhere between 70% and 80% of them are running PHP. Of course, that figure will include a lot of WordPress sites.
