START QUOTE
code a bubble sort in C (yes, I know it's N*N and not always that efficient). One applicant wrote out the code for the QuickSort algorithim instead. Later, I typed his code in: it compiled and ran correctly the first time. However .. I had not asked for "any" sorting algorithim, I had asked specifically for a bubble sort. So I rejected that candidate, because in my opinion he would go off and do his own thing after being told what to do, and that's not the kind of person I wanted to hire. END QUOTE So I would ask how big the list was to sort and try to work out which sort is the best for that. So you wouldn't hire me because I'm not a brainless idiot who just does what you want??? -- My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right In reply to Re: Re: Interview with a Programmer
