I hope you're not gonna pull a Feeb and claim you're a C guru that can
'move the Earth', but refuse to show ANY decent code, then make lame
excuses like "I have other fish to fry".
1) write your own C to sort these 3 names (by last then first):
William Thomas
Zachary Jones
Jim Thomas
2) write your own C to count the words in:
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
3) write your own C to calc the mean, median and mode of:
1,2,3,4,5,5,6,7,8,9
Why is it I have a VERY strong feeling you and Feeb and C are about to
be pwned by python?
What purpose does coding that serve? I can code, I choose not to
because everything's already been coded, by someone else.
What an extremely naive thing to say.
Granted, all of the alleged "coding challenges" that Feeb presents here HAVE
already been coded. But that's what happens when you think that "All
programming is about solving trivial math problems".
I code solutions for client issues every day. Mostly in Oracle SQL, but also
in our own scripting languages. Trust me, these solutions have not "already
been coded". It is all custom code. They are unique to the client's data and
what they want to accomplish.
In the real world, very few problems have "already been coded". Which is why
people who proclaim that "AI" is going to make programmers "obsolete" have no
GD clue what they are talking about.
