    I took this programming evaluation and I'm a DLSC Clickety[^] You're a Doer. You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better. After all, time is money. You like coding at a Low level. You're from the old school of programming and believe that you should have an intimate relationship with the computer. You don't mind juggling registers around and spending hours getting a 5% performance increase in an algorithm. You work best in a Solo situation. The best way to program is by yourself. There's no communication problems, you know every part of the code allowing you to write the best programs possible. You are a Conservative programmer. The less code you write, the less chance there is of it containing a bug. You write short and to the point code that gets the job done efficiently.

            Me too. I got annoyed that the C# IDE removes spaces so

            fred( 3, 4 )

            becomes

            fred(3, 4)

            but I'm starting to get used to it.

                      I dunno about the D part, but the rest is me too :p Instead of a Doer, I think I am an obsessive thinker, so I can code less and more correct, yet expose more functionality (wow that almost sounds like marketing lingo :p)

                        I'm a DLSB. I reckon question 12 made me different to you Question 12: What is the 'better' implementation: int main() { printf("5+6=%d", 5+6 ); return 0; } //////////////////////////////////////////////// // AddNumbers // param1 firstParam - The first value to add // param2 secondParam - The second value to add // return - The firstParam added to secondParam // int AddNumbers( int firstParam, int secondParam ) { // Here is some info int theReturn = firstParam + secondParam; // Now return the value return theReturn; } // Entry for program int main() { // Initialize variables int firstParam = 5; int secondParam = 6; // Call the function int returnValue = AddNumbers( firstParam, secondParam ); // Print out the value printf("%d+%d=%d", firstParam, secondParam, returnValue ); return 0; } I said the second because I like to see things refactored into small, reusable methods. I wasn't so keen on all of example 2, it had way too many comments. 'Initialize variables' ? Give me a break, if you can't work out that's what's going on, you should turn off the computer, or at least stop reading code.

                                      I'm a DLSB. I reckon question 12 made me different to you Question 12: What is the 'better' implementation: int main() { printf("5+6=%d", 5+6 ); return 0; } //////////////////////////////////////////////// // AddNumbers // param1 firstParam - The first value to add // param2 secondParam - The second value to add // return - The firstParam added to secondParam // int AddNumbers( int firstParam, int secondParam ) { // Here is some info int theReturn = firstParam + secondParam; // Now return the value return theReturn; } // Entry for program int main() { // Initialize variables int firstParam = 5; int secondParam = 6; // Call the function int returnValue = AddNumbers( firstParam, secondParam ); // Print out the value printf("%d+%d=%d", firstParam, secondParam, returnValue ); return 0; } I said the second because I like to see things refactored into small, reusable methods. I wasn't so keen on all of example 2, it had way too many comments. 'Initialize variables' ? Give me a break, if you can't work out that's what's going on, you should turn off the computer, or at least stop reading code.

                                      See, that's why I like functional programming - everything's a function - even operators - and they're all composable. So, if I wanted to apply summation to a list of numbers, I can use

                                      sumNumbers
                                      

                                      or, taking advantage of partial function application,

                                      sumNumbers = foldl (+) 0
                                      

                                      gives you a function that'll take a list of numbers. Want to read numbers from strings and sum them? Easy:

                                      sumNumberStrings = sumNumbers . map (read :: String -> Integer)
                                      

                                      (the :: String -> Integer is there because my favourite functional language, Haskell, is strictly typed, and read is polymorphic). OK, I'll shut up - I'm just a (dis)functional freak.

                                        You're a Doer. You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better. After all, time is money. You like coding at a High level. The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs in the same way. You work best in a Solo situation. The best way to program is by yourself. There's no communication problems, you know every part of the code allowing you to write the best programs possible. You are a liBeral programmer. Programming is a complex task and you should use white space and comments as freely as possible to help simplify the task. We're not writing on paper anymore so we can take up as much room as we need.

                                        *joins the DHSB party* Basically, I'm a design-oriented cowboy coder who writes readable code, so that when they eventually decide to replace me with a cheap college student who thinks C# is the same as D-Flat and OOP is a misspelled mistake, the kid won't screw it up too badly.
