Programming Interviews

Name: Anonymous 2011-09-19 18:57

So in my job search I've learned something important - I'm really really really bad at programming tests and interviews. Actually, I'm pretty decent at standard algorithms/data structures-related questions that come up on phone screens, but I'm awful when it comes down to ironing out the details and dealing with edge cases. Just now I horribly failed a take-home test and I feel like total shit right now.

I realize I need more practice, and I've heard from a lot of people that TopCoder's practice rooms are a great way to do it.

Here's the problem:

I find the problems, even the lower-point ones, to be WAY too fucking hard. Is there a similar place with problems that are easier, or at least less math-heavy?

If something cannot be described symbolically, we cannot talk about it

That is incorrect you mental midget. I can think of several examples where something can't be described symbolically and yet we can still talk about it. 

Now, are you trolling? Or are you just plain stupid? Either way, you're a fucking moron.

In the even that you aren't trolling, I would suggest that you get a math tutor, and then take some math classes up to and including Discrete Math.
