alphabet version 3

May 19, 2007 | 6:32 pm

Third answer to my alphabet question:

#include <stdio.h>
 
void main ()
{
    char Array[26] = { 'a', 'b', ... 'z'};
 
    int i;
 
    for (i = 0; i <= 26; i++)
    {
        printf(%c\\n, *Array[i]);
    }
    exit;
}

There is no typo in the transcript. What do you think? Is my question ‘too hard’? Is it not ‘appropriate’ for a ‘C’ developer position?

alphabet version 2

May 18, 2007 | 4:34 pm

Second answer… again, there is no typo, this is the pure transcript of the candidate’s answer.

main(argc, argv[])
{
    int i = 0;
    char a[26] = { 'a', 'b', 'c', ...'z'}
 
    for (i = 0; i <=26; i++)
    {
        printf("%d/n", a[i]%);
    }
    return;
}

With this question, I’m realizing that array usage in C, is clearly not clear for everyone.

alphabet version 1

May 17, 2007 | 5:32 pm

First answer to my alphabet question (120 hits):

void printAlphabet(void)
{
    char a[21];
 
    for (i = 0; i <26; i++)
    {
        if (i == 0)
        {
            a[i] = 'a';
        }
        else
        {
            a[i] = a[i - 1]++;
        }
    }
    a[26] = '\\0';
    printf("alphabet %s\\n", a);
}

This might print the alphabet… but it will crash… I recopy the program as is… there is no typo from my side.

After this question, I asked more questions on how to use array in C. This person was terribly confused on how to use array in C.

My vim cheat codes

May 10, 2007 | 9:28 pm

I nerver remember how to use macros in vim… quick post for later:

qregister - Start macro recording into the named register. For instance, qa starts recording and puts the macro into register a.
q - End recording.
@register - Replay the macro stored in the named register. For instance, @a replays the macro in register a.

Pros:

  • Works well
  • Affordable
  • Fully open Source
  • You can contribute and ean money (Here (81 hits))

Cons:

  • The GUI needs to be improved
  • The limited number of features

I wish I have more time to geek with it…
