Hi ,
my boss has asked I sit in on an interview this afternoon and that I create
some interview questions on the person's experience.
What is C++ used for and why would a company benefit from someone who could
use it?
I would like you guys/and gals to give me some good questions & the correct
answers so I can give this person a good review for my boss.
Thank you very much!

This would be a *very* good question to ask your candidate.
May we assume that you are interviewing a C++ programmer?
Personally, I would *never* even ask a candidate
whether they programmed in C++ or not.
Programming is a low level skill
which I would expect the candidate to "pick up"
in the first few weeks on the job.
Assuming that you understand your company's business better than C++,
describe some [simple] problem that your company has
that might be solved by applying computer technology
and ask you candidate to propose a solution using C++
or whatever language/software package
that the candidate deems appropriate.
You should very quickly know whether you should hire this person or not.

Why would you care if someone you want to hire knows something about C++
if you aren't doing anything with C++? Or are you hiring someone to
write some software and they are proposing to use C++?

I just can't get over how ridiculous this is. It's like calling the ability
to perform laser surgery a "low level skill" - one that you'd never ask a
doctor about before hiring him. As long as he, like, knows all about body
parts, 'n' stuff.

It's not so ridiculous! I actually tend to agree with Mr. Tisdale on this.
A truly good programmer should be able to pick up a new language rather
easily. Now, given the (at least potential) complexity of C++, I would
hardly expect the person to become a "good C++ programmer" in a few weeks,
but I would certainly expect him/her to be able to modify/maintain existing
code within that timeframe. Being a good programmer, in my book, includes
that ability. Critical thinking, problem solving, design, and being able to
work with the available tools...these are areas that make a good programmer.
(That's why good colleges don't concentrate on teaching a specific language,
but instead teach a broad spectrum of data structures, mathematics,
operating systems, hardware, etc.) If you can program well in Java, but
would have trouble programming in, say C++ or Pascal, then you're not really
a good programmer, you're just an experienced Java programmer.
Regarding your anaology, I'd say that's not accurate. A good surgeon, given
a few weeks training in the use of a laser surgery device, should be able to
do laser surgery. That's a better analogy, I think, and it applies equally
as well to a good programmer being able to use a new tool, such as C++.
-Howard
Thank you these are all great points from different angles -
So from what I gather, if you are going to put on your resume that you "have
5 years of C++ Beginner 1 experience" I could asset that this canidate
would possibly be able to pickup on/program say XML & Java? The person says
they have 3yrs exper in Intermediate Visual Basic.
Do these two programming languages work hand in hand, might this experience
be stretching the truth and/or are these two vary different and a great
quality that this person can use both?
How do I (as a non-programmer) know if the person's answers are true or if
they are stretching for answers (in the unknown)?
Thanks,

You don't.
You are a dishonest person so you suspect everyone else.
You don't know anything about C++ so you can't judge.
Stick to topics that you know something about
so that you can judge the candidate --
unless, of course, you have you boss fooled
and don't know anything about the business at all.
The right candidates should be able to tell you
how they can solve your problems.
And if they can convince you of that,
they can easily pick up C++ or whatever [language] is required.
If they can't, it doesn't matter how well they know C++.
They won't be able to help you.

Well, that's where I disagree with you. I'd rather have a truly good
programmer with little or no C++ experience than a mediocre C++ programmer.
In an interview, I'd ask questions related to programming in general
(although I'm not sure the OP knows anything about that subject in the first
place), and about problem solving, and about the projects they've worked on
(regardless of the language) and what problems they had and how those were
solved, etc. That's how to get a feel for whether someone's a good
programmer or not, as opposed to asking them specifics like what's the
size_t type for, or what would happen if you executed some bizarre line of
code full of pre- and post-increments, etc.
The best programmer we had on our team at my last job (except perhaps me
:-)) had no experience whatsoever programming in Delphi (Pascal), which was
what we were using. We had him doing QA for our team for a few weeks,
including some code walkthrough stuff. In a few months, he turned out to be
the most productive member of our team. He even taught me stuff about a
language I thought I knew quite well. If we'd rejected him because he
wasn't a Delphi programmer, we'd have missed out on having a truly awesome
team member, and our final products would not have been anywhere near as
good.

C++ is used for very large systems, such as a database or an OS, and for
extensions to those systems.
It is not good for the majority of the situations that most people here -
including me - use it for. It's not good for GUIs, small apps, or the glue
between apps. Plenty of language systems make writing those things easier,
but
and why would a company benefit from someone who could
use it?
A company that actually needs C++ would benefit from someone with the
experience needed to write it without the endless low-level bugs that
newbies create with it.
Now about your interviews. If I were a good fit for your job, you all still
might not be qualified to interview me. Someone who answers like this
newsgroup did might still not qualify, and someone who gives an excellent
answer might get bounced.
Focus on the problem y'all need solved. That's what I prefer my interviewers
do, so I needn't beat around the bush or guess at it.

Speaking of ludicrous! Did I say "just any doctor", or that he or she would
just "pick it up"? No, I said a "good surgeon, given a few weeks training"!
Do you actually work in the real world? Many organizations retrain staff
from their own organization for specific tasks rather than try to hire an
unknown just because that unknown claims x number of years with the specific
tool or skill. And I'd bet any good manager would much rather have a truly
good programmer with little or no C+ experience than an average programer
with a few years C++ experience. Now, if an applicant meets BOTH
requirements, then you've struck gold!
As for interview questions, I'd ask C++ questions if the applicant claimed
C++ experience. I'd ask other questions if they claimed other experience.
The key is to find a good programmer, a good thinker, a good designer, and a
good team member. The specifics of any given language are far less
important than finding someone who can truly help solve your company's
specific problems.

Ok...what if it is? Is he good at it? I'd probably have trouble getting
much out of an interview with a COBOL programmer, admittedly, seeing as how
it's so different in its very nature from C++, Pascal, BASIC or FORTRAN (the
ones I'm most familiar with). So I'd probably talk about problem solving in
general, projects they've worked on, etc. I certainly wouldn't refuse to
interview them just because they used a different language in the past.
Unless of course I had such a wide pool of applicants to choose from that I

You and Mr. Tisdale both are in disagreement with reality.

It's a repeatedly demonstrated and well-accepted fact that it takes a good,
experienced programmer an average of 6 months to become proficient in C++.
Now, given the (at least potential) complexity of C++, I would

Then your expectations are absurd. One can't properly maintain code in a
language that they don't understand. I've seen far too many examples of
intelligent and competent Java programmers who introduced all sorts of mayhem
(not the least of which were dozens of memory leaks) into C++ applications they
were asked to maintain.
Being a good programmer, in my book, includes that ability.
Critical thinking, problem solving, design,
It _includes_ those. It's not limited to them.
and being able to work with the available tools...
You can't use a tool you don't understand.
(That's why good colleges don't concentrate on teaching a specific
language, but instead teach a broad spectrum of data structures,
mathematics, operating systems, hardware, etc.)
To paraphrase Spock, "Fundamentals are the beginning of competence, not the
end."
If you can program well in Java, but would have trouble
programming in, say C++ or Pascal, then you're not really
a good programmer, you're just an experienced Java programmer.
Total, absolute, and unadulterated BULL. Tools and paradigms take time to learn
well. When they're not well understood, they're just dangerous.

bartek wrote: C++ is actually dominating the games market, isn't it?
I suppose.
If so, it follows this model:
C++ -> lite language -> game script
So one writes a game calling the lite language (often Lua), then it calls a
C++ layer to do all the hard stuff - rendering, AI, etc.
So this fits the other systems models. For a database, the lite language is
SQL. For a renderer, the lite language is POV. Etc.

Knowledge of a language is probably 1/8 of the total equation. In today's
environment, the real burden is understanding the available libraries and
applicable hardware/software interface.
So, you could be a great 'programmer', know all the languages, but if you don't
know libraries and interfaces, you are going to have a very *tough* time making
it happen.

Unless the company writes C++ compilers, there is virtually no benefit to a
company of using a particular language. What benefits the company is using the
correct _tools_ (language, libraries, design, etc.). Just look back a few
years when Java hit the scene. It was the first time (that I'm aware of) that
a language was actually marketed to management-level and up -- managers that
had absolutely no idea what a programming language was, but felt that it was
the cake and they could eat it too, regardless of the actual implementation and
development requirements.

I would like to see C++ used more in the embedded systems.
C++ has excellent features for modeling hardware devices. The classes
and members with added typechecking helps develop better quality
programs and faster for embedded systems.
The templates feature is also very useful in the embedded systems
world. One could write a generic algorithm for a family of devices
then just plug in the hardware types (or classes representing the
hardware types).
Another place is in message passing. Many embedded systems pass
messages from one platform to another. Often times, there is a
common header format followed by different parameters based on
a message identifier. This is where inheritance would prove
very valuable. We would only have to write the common message
methods once, instead of duplicating them everywhere.
Sorry about the rant, but I'm facing code reviews right now...

Learning how to program requires a firm grasp of logic and
mathematics. These are learned over a lifetime. There are some people
who, regardless of how hard hey try, will never understand computer
logic. There are others who are born with it.
Languages -can- be "picked up", certainly, provided a basis of
knowledge has already been learned. It is very easy for someone who
has coded in UNIX C for five years to learn Visual C++ API. MFC can be
a different story.
It is very easy for someone with a background in Java to learn to
write VB Scripts, and thereby learn Visual Basic. Come to think ot it,
it would be very easy to teach a simian how to learn Visual Basic.
Because of MS's introduction of the .NET framework, interviewing a
potential programmer can cover a lot of different bases:
1) Are you familiar with C#?
Good answer: I've coded C and C++. C# won't be much of a stretch.
Bad answer: Isn't that a piano key?
2) Are you familiar with database structuring or queries, especially
those pertaining to the .NET framework?
Good answer: I've used MySQL (or DB5, or Oracle, or...)
Bad answer: Queries? Aren't they all from San Francisco?
3) Are you familiar with web interfaces and/or security?
Good answer: I've learned to program in ASP, or can use PHP
scripting, or CGI, or...
Bad answer: I use AOL.
Programming is a lifestyle, not an occupation. Serious programmers
come home from their job writing GUIs or DLLs or COMs and sit down and
work on their own personal projects (usually in a UNIX environment, am
I wrong?)
So, I will STRONGLY disagree that a language can be "picked up".
Languages can be learned over time, and mastered over an even greater
amount of time, but a successful candidate will have several years of
experience in logic based and/or object oriented programming, and you
can only hope their will apply good programming practices to whatever
it is you'd like them to learn. If not, you're sinking your own ship
there.
More toward the earlier question of "What is C++ good for?"
I'll just say, C++ is the answer.
You need to find out the question.
