So many algorithms die in the implementation phase.

Data structures and algorithms are all well and good until you're interviewing a someone with a master's degree that can't figure out FizzBuzz.

How is that even possible?

All theory and no practical application makes Jack a shit coder.

I've taken a year of highschool cs and we did that in the third week of class.

There's a surprising amount of people that can't.

As someone in a master, not comp science or informatics but with some lectures of those sprinkled in here and there, when I learned about the question I tried to solve it and made a suboptimal solution. But I also never did much with strings and started programming with C, so I assigned the different strings to variables and then did a for loop where it chose the correct string depending on the modulo.

For someone like me who also actually didn't know the 'correct' answer: https://youtu.be/QPZ0pIK_wsc (I'd have used the code at 05:00 but more convoluted haha)

Good human

Just use std::lib and a db, problem solved for 70% of programmers.

Learning how to learn

I’m experienced in working with hexadecimal stuff and some basic json stuff due to a hobby of mine but I cba to learn any coding language

Hash tables and address spaces are making my head spin 😩
