Tfw just entered the 49th percentile on code wars

I typically ask this as an interview question as an alternative to fizzbuzz to see if someone knows how to use modulus. Although, one day I hope someone will surprise me with a sieve of Eratosthenes. I would try the brute force method using modulus first, then try pic related

an above average redditor is still a redditor tho.

Jow Forums has no affiliation with codewars, so it is irrelevant how good you do there.

>asking fizzbuzz in an interview

I've been coding a month and I can do this eyes closed

I'm not asking fizzbuzz though. I'm asking to check whether a number is prime. Also, you have to understand that most people (even people with degrees) are completely worthless but some of them are good at tricking HR into thinking they are worth interviewing. The reason fizzbuzz and questions like it exist is to filter out the total retards who have no clue what the fuck they are doing. Unfortunately, the work of a software engineer is not typically very complicated, so hiring someone who is particularly good is generally not a high priority. For the most part we just want people who can write code to the specifications. The term "code monkey" exists for a reason.

How do I con hr monkeys to let me into an interview? I do a lot of challenges for fun

Why would you want in? You know Jow Forums is for gay, right?

That depends. What is your favourite anime?

Yup, that's what I though.
Sorry kid, can't let you into our secret club with such poor taste.

oh yeah, well you're a retarded nigger

That old thing? How about a 2-3-5 coprime field
{1,7,11,13,17,19,23,29}
{29,23,19,17,13,11,7,1}

wtf i literally just did that same question. here was my solution;

function race(v1, v2, g) {
const v1fps = (v1 / 60) / 60;
const v2fps = (v2 / 60) / 60;

let v1pos = g
let v2pos = 0

let secondsPassed = 0;

if (v1fps > v2fps) {
return null;
}

while (v2pos < v1pos) {
v2pos += v2fps;
v1pos += v1fps;
if (v2pos >= v1pos) {
break;
}
secondsPassed++;
}

let time = new Date(secondsPassed*1000).toISOString().substr(11, 8).split(":");
for (let i = 0; i < time.length;i++) {
time[i] = Number(time[i]);
}

return time;

}

quadratic sieve my friend. not too bad.

whats a better site to use?

i was just about to complement you on your excellent style. now i see you are truly dog shit.

What the FUCK. I'm mad. I spent five minutes trying to figure out why it "wouldn't run properly". Even went and replicated in Termux and had it working properly. Finally press submit to see what the fuck it says.

Turns out they wanted to fucking multiply a*b. NOWHERE was there any indication of that. There was no syntax error, the code actually "ran properly" perfectly fine, it's just that they wanted me to do something completely different to what was written and didn't put any information about the actual requirements anywhere on the page.
Are all the other challenges similar guesswork to figure out what will make their arbitrary test cases pass?

Hackerrank, leetcode or codingame for game like interaction.

Delet immediately

thanks. leetcode looks good.
