    And why assembler coders earns more than others ? Matter if skills ? Naaaah, simpler : Like most of the other coders, they are paid on line number. And as in assembler coding you write one instruction per line, that you need several more lines to do simple tasks, assembler coding is the future :) What ? Do I said something fool ? Kochise

      Post some of your assembler projects on codeproject then.

      static int Sqrt(int x) { if (x<0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); int temp, y=0, b=0x8000, bshft=15, v=x; do { if (v>=(temp=(y<<1)+b<>=1)>0); return y; :omg:

        If you are paid by line number, get another job. The first major debugging session and you will be broke.

          I like those, I can post the problem on CP and when the boss come around I say I'm thinking about it and have posted a query to see if anyone else has come across this query, thus if they have I will be more productive since I don't need to waste time debugging it.  He is therefore quite happy because he knows that CP is the best website on (and probably) off the planet, so he lets me get on with browsing CP. Of course this is completely non-sensical when I'm in the office, but when I telecommute, ah that's another matter entirely. :cool:


          Just Google it. Failing that try phoning :bob:

            You said something, but nobody is sure exactly what it was. I've never heard of a programmer being paid according to the number of lines he's written. Maybe in some backward 3rd-world country... like, um.... France...

              Legend has it that IBM evaluated progress on DOS by weekly increase in line count. They got furious with their subcontractor (microsoft) whenever they would refactor the code and reduce the line count, and eventually parted ways with them...
