Why Can't Programmers.. Program?(codinghorror.com)

submitted by salim(780) 4 years, 11 months ago

The author is having trouble with the fact that 199 out of 200 applicants for every programming job can’t write code at all. I repeat: they can't write any code whatsoever.

I wonder why there are so many ugly solutions of the " FizzBuzz problem" on the comments. Actually the author said it wasn't even supposed to be solved but used as an example of problems his applicant were not able to solve...

I find it more disturbing that so many people are interviewing and don't know the answers to the questions they're asking!

PS: In F#:

let f i n s = if i%n=0 then s else ""
Seq.iter (fun i -> printf "%d %s %s\n" i (f i 3 "Fizz") (f i 5 "Buzz")) {1 .. 100}
