Question to ask an interviewee
-
Hi all, What would you consider a good question to ask to a potential programmer to see whether he/she is worth their salt? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Regards,
The only programmers that are better that C programmers are those who code in 1's and 0's :bob: :)Programm3r My Blog: ^_^
int i = 0;
i = i++;What is the value of i after executing these statements.
-
int i = 0;
i = i++;What is the value of i after executing these statements.
Not knowing the answer (0 or 1) even though I have 11 years of experience and I have written > 500K lines of C++ code I would have to answer that this is bad code and the coder should be shot on the spot.

How would you solve a problem like Maria?

Clue: The ++ operator is called post-increment.

I would need to call Julie Andrews for phone a friend.

The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

You're actually keeping track of the number of lines of code you produce??

Why should you avoid floating point variable types in financial applications?

Maria isn't a problem. Maria is an "opportunity" :-)

Isn't that technically undefined, at least in C++? You can't change the value of an lvalue on the right side of the = sign. Crikey, Score: 5.0 (2 votes). I haven't written a single line of C++ production code, and don't even remember when I last wrote any C++ code at all. Maybe my mentor at my previous company was right in asking me to switch from C# to C++. :^)

I should have qualified that it was C#

I know that it is the post increment and that
int i,j;
i = 0;
j = i++;So after this j=0 and i=1 But in your case with i being on the both side made me have a little doubt. To my defense I had less than 5 hours sleep and no caffeine yet. My 36 year old brain does not function until the first few cups of coffee take effect.. Either way, I agree this is a good question because it leads to a follow up question to ask why is the answer 1? [EDIT]I read the other posts... And well at least the answer is 1 in vc6.[/EDIT]

Since I work on my own code and projects this is pretty easy. I use project line counter from www.wndtabs.com[^]

I wouldn't ask them anything. Sit them down in front of pc with VS and sql server. Ask them to create a simple web page (if it is asp.net) or winform (if a windows job) using the pubs database that has a drop down list with authors and grid populated with books by each author. If they can make it work under the pressure of the interview then hire them. If not, don't.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature
