 Programming › Re: Do You Need To Be A Math Guru To Be A Good Programmer by Fayimora(m): 5:23pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
someone sent me a mail about that same stuff and I thought he/she was talking bout linked lists. I ain't got a clue what it is myself. Do you mind explaining but on another thread  |

Don't know if you picked this up along the line but it is advisable to always initialise a variable before using it. |

C'mon guys its really not that serious! @Kobo. . . . I have noticed the way you bullshit others! Not to be mean but because you have a few years of experience doesn't make you invincible! You still have A LOT to learn. Just be more polite next time. @logica, @omo_to_dun please do me the favour of not replying to the thread anymore so it dies. @OP Doesn't matter if it is "Do you need math" or "how much math". The truth is that you SHOULDN'T be asking such questions. IF you need a particular skill, you would know when the time comes and you should strive to acquire it. I can tell you to spend 2months perfecting your probability skills but what if you never use it? I would advice you refrain from asking such questions and just perfect your programming skills. If you need to learn spanish along the line, you would know. |

Kobojunkie:Don't say that too fast. A bit off point but I expected YOU to know that there is NEVER a wrong answer!. All I can say is that those questions are what you get in companies like ITRS and Goldman Sachs. Not sure anyone is familiar with these companies but at least that is what I was told to expect and that is what I got. |

IbroSaunks:Sorry am not at liberty to discuss that. You just have to take my word for it. |

IbroSaunks:You should note that these are not the kind of questions you get in an ACTUAL google interview. You get these questions when you have PASSED the ACTUAL interview. |

| Programming › Re: What Language should I start with? by Fayimora(m): 10:05pm On Dec 25, 2011 |
Use what is necessary! Use what YOU THINK works best. How do you know what works best? You research and READ! 99.8% of threads like this don't help. They always end up in some parallel world, if you know what i mean To get you started, I wouldn't really advise visual basic. Not because I don't program in VB but because it is windows centric. You most likely would want to develop cross platform apps. Goodluck! |

| Programming › Re: I Need Help With Pointers In C by Fayimora(m): 4:42pm On Dec 21, 2011 |
[size=13pt]What you are doing is COMPLETELY different from what you were asked to do! You were asked to find the largest btw three numbers. One way would be to use an array. Now you should have a pointer to an int(or any suitable type) array! Since you have to use a function, then you pass two values to a function that returns the largest between them. Say you have, 10 70 40 declare a variable that would store the highest. I would call it 'highestNumberSoFar' We pass the address of 10 and 70 to our function(that should be easy), now we receive the addresses and then deference each of them and return the highest value! NExt we pass 70 and 40. . . . . and so on. I intentionally did not write any bit of code. Now you have 'an algorithm', so give me an implementation.[/size] |

The algorithm to calculate surface area has NOTHING to do with pascal. Have a quick read through this and you should be able to do your thing. Link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere#Surface_area_of_a_sphere |

[size=13pt]Then lets see your new code!!! That code you posted above is so not correct! However, that error is not what i expected you to get. Post your ORIGINAL code if you need help.[/size] |
| Programming › Re: This May Sound Cheesy Or Desperate,but Pls Do Not Ignore! by Fayimora(m): 4:57pm On Dec 10, 2011 |
[size=14pt]Well the program is wrong, syntactically. import is a keyword so it shouldn't be 'Import' but 'import', String is a class and not a primitive type so it should be 'String' and not 'string'. Using small letters is C++ style. Scanner is a class. However, you started declaring the object properly but messed up the instance. Fix that using the tip above. Also, System is a class and not a variable or a primitive type. In C, you create an array like this => "int numbers[]", however the case is different in java. When writing Java code you do this => "int[] numbers". Yes, your c-style declaration would work but its not the convention. The developers of Java only left that in so its easy for C programmers to easily write Java code. If you are a Java programmer, then stick to the Java conventions. Note that it is a convention in Java to 'camel case' some identifiers. They include: Class names - Starts with capital letters and all other conjoined words are camel cased. e.g JOptionPane, Scanner, ArrayList. Variable/method names = Starts with small letters, e.g, getNames(), changeArrayOfNumbers(). I fixed 3 errors but left a few others. Try and fix them using the tips above. Goodluck[/size] |

Errr, what language ?? Also post the compete error here |
| Programming › Re: This May Sound Cheesy Or Desperate,but Pls Do Not Ignore! by Fayimora(m): 3:13pm On Dec 10, 2011 |
Hmm anyways, Java is not really a bad language to start with. BUT as Mobinga said, you gotta start from Procedural Programming. Am surprised to see a link to my profile there, lolz anyways go and get "Java in easy steps." Its a very small book and costs only £6. It would get you prepared for the other books. Happy learning. Oh before i forget have you written "Hello world?", lol |

| Programming › Re: Lets Create Nairaland Mobile App. What Do You Think? by Fayimora(m): 7:30pm On Dec 04, 2011 |
Ok then ride on, With an API you can develop an actual application and not a new 'web browser', lol, But can your API allow me change user's details? In essence can it send queries to the database? Dont forget its not just about displaying posts, you gotta change info, post topics and stuff like that. |
| Programming › Re: Lets Create Nairaland Mobile App. What Do You Think? by Fayimora(m): 4:18pm On Dec 04, 2011 |
The easiest way would be for Seun to pay two or 3 developers to develop an API for him. With the API we could do anything but am sure he aint ready to let his database out. . |

I can say same for Ruby too. Actually it is easier and faster to get help with Ruby **biased mouth** because you can ask the developers directly, |
