In India, even if RJH says 1 out of 10, they won't select. AFAIK, all
are expected to grade 7/10

India has a recognized system about rating oneself against Dennis Ritchie?
That's very interesting. Tell us more.

Alex <al*******@hotm ail.com> scribbled the following:
It's still silly. Only your ability to distinguish between the
letters 'i' and 'j' is tested.

If you can't distinguish between them, then the code won't even
compile, as standard C doesn't define "jnt" or "prjntf".

#include <stdio.h>
#define prjntf printf
#define majn main

typedef int jnt;
typedef void vojd;

jnt majn( vojd )
{
jnt j;
for ( j = 42; j; j-- )
prjntf("%d ", j);
return j;
}

:)))))

But if the person really had trouble distinguishing between i and j,
the code wouldn't even get past preprocessing, as C doesn't understand
the "#jnclude" or "#defjne" directives. Let alone know of a "stdjo.h"
header file.

Correct. I was thinking about a tweak to fix that, but there seem to
be no portable way to do it. Too sad. :)

Personally, in my job hunting days, I walked out on an interviewer that
presumed to give me a test. I find the practice insulting.

I only wish all candidates who objected to being tested would do this -- I hate
wasting my time with the likes of people like you.

Ditto.

If any sort of "exam" is to be part of an interview, it should be
stated beforehand.

Those of us who have been in the game for decades find this sort of
practice demeaning, and a good indication that it is a job we don't
want anyway. Therefore, it saves time on both persons' parts.

my expectation of the results from the rest of the test.

What if the reply is "Who?" ?

Hm, this your second post of this kind within 13 hours to
comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c.mod erated respectively. Neither
one has been replied to yet. There are genuine search engines
on the web one can use to retrieve the material you are asking
for. Two years ago I found some companies that had sample tests
on their web-sites - unfortunately I've lost the URLs.

As for the FAQs:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/by-newsgroup/comp/

Personally, in my job hunting days, I walked out on an interviewer
that presumed to give me a test. I find the practice insulting.

And, with absolutely no reason to assume you know anything at
all, you expect the interviewer to assume you to be an expert on
everything. You also exhibit a very fine sense of co-operation.

With any reasonable self-confidence (combined with actual
knowledge) I would expect a job applicant to be happy to show off
by taking such tests.

Sorry I don't mean it actually. I meant grading 1-10 stuff. I'd
thought that this grading system is only in India, but it seems
throughout the world people used to it!!...

Personally I'm against to our Indian system of interviewing. They ask
only the frequently asked interview questions---from certain interview
kind of books like "how to interview a programer" or so. It is very
unfortunate that the interviewer expects the person to answer specific
answer. Because of this system, even a person who knows little about C
can easily get into a nice job ('cos the questions are FAQ). Most of
the times, this sort of interviews failed to recognize the real
intellectuals (IMHO).

It sounds a lot like what some of the posters to this thread from other
parts of the world have indicated they would like and "not be insulting".
(ahem) It sounds like you also realize that not having some sort of
test (with sufficient detail) is unlikely to allow you to separate a B+
from an A+ programmer.

This is why I don't *just* use the test results to qualify a candidate.

*gasp*

You're right. "Who is Dennis Ritchie?" makes for a pretty good weedout
filter on the telephone before they even come in. LOL

On the other
hand, I do know what C is. Now, let's get on with the test and find out how good /you/ think I am."

But, IMHO most of the times, tests have failed to recognize the real
intellectuals.

ah, so that's why I never pass :-)
