For a short time, I was being "schooled" in C programming. I flamed out when I reached pointers, but I believe even I could have solved these problems at the time. That anyone would call him/herself a programmer who couldn't do these exercises is appalling.
For the record, I'd like to know why computer programming types, who much necessarily give great attention to detail, often have no grasp of English grammar. This guy's post is almost painful to read. Is English not his first language?
You would be surprised. Many 'programmers' can interview well but can't write a line of code. Another test of minimal coding level is FizzBuzz. Why Can't Programmers.. Program?
