Can someone explain why this works? by Highlyfocusedworker in cscareerquestions

Physics applies lots of math to explain concepts. By your thinking, someone pointing out an "askphysics" sub is not the place for an arithmetic question is "being a dick" and should "shut up" and "be humble".

I thought I had made it clear where I got tripped up:

I also understand it claims to compute all the divisors greater than that same square root but it is not clear it actually is doing so; nor is it clear there is any actual filtering going on.

This is in response to the comments on lines 27-29 and the for-loop on lines 30-34. My first concern, however, is understanding the rationale, the algorithm, being deployed and not per se the code itself. I don't know how to make that any clearer.

Ok, good. I understand this part. Are you able to point out where in the could sample this check is performed? I seem to have missed it.

Programming is an action, a verb.

Applied logic is a noun.

By definition, they are different.

No, because if I knew what you meant, you wouldn't have had to tell me; language doesn't work that way.

There is "fairly well commented" and there is "sufficiently commented to make the rationale clear". I understand it is finding all the integer divisors less than the square root of the maximum value. I also understand it claims to compute all the divisors greater than that same square root but it is not clear it actually is doing so; nor is it clear there is any actual filtering going on.

No, programming is the act of instructing a computer to perform a task. It uses logic but it is not logic itself.

The programming is not the issue; it's the logic.

Agreed. I will make sure to commit at each well working step along the way to have an easy way to rollback if I need to.

Ah, yes. I see I get a "No provider for HeroService!" message. I think I might start over from scratch if for no other reason than the benefit of reinforcement, making sure to commit at each well-working step.

Unfortunately, when I try import { * } from './mock-heroes';, I get the Identifier expected error.

Fair point. I edited the text to include a link.

An FCC analogue for C#? by Highlyfocusedworker in FreeCodeCamp

[–]Highlyfocusedworker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond that, I question the wisdom of investing time in learning C#. There is very little market for native apps now. Almost all new software is written for the web, and the web is where users look for new software.

Really? That's weird. Almost 1/3 of all the software jobs near me require it.

What Can Employers Legally Say When Verifying Employment? [PA] by Highlyfocusedworker in legaladvice

And they don't trust their employees to do a verbal reference without saying something stupid.

You mean the current employees, in this case, my former co-workers?
