Hello, I have taken only 2-3 quarters of Java programming. I have learned your basic console interface/scanner/print stuff. I know a bit about object oriented design. I have practiced some collections/traversals/manipulations using: maps, sets, trees, linkedlists, etc but would like some real questions you will likely see in an interview. Looking for someone who is more advanced and can basically grill me technically in preparation for upcoming interviews.

-If you can chat with me via google docs about what SQL servers are, how you would typically implement or use them in a program.
-If you have experience in object oriented design, and insights on sorting algorithms, tricky programming questions etc.
-If you have a general understanding of APIs and how to use them
-Anything else I may be missing

Basically I'm going in this blindly having only taken 2-3 quarters of java and need a CS major preferably with industry experience to help me out for an interview (im not sure what to expect).

Thanks,

for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0) {
System.out.print(“FizzBuzz”);
} else if (i % 3 == 0) {
System.out.print(“Fizz”);
} else if (i % 5 == 0) {
System.out.print(“Buzz”);
} else {
System.out.print(i);
}
}

Does this work?

use code tags

IS THAT YOU MINKO!?

No, but its the inspiration for a lot of the shit I do on this board.

@ SAJ

No that code did not compile. I received quite a few error messages.

Yes, that works. Only thing is that the quotes got replaced by "Smart Quotes" somehow.

Go above and beyond with this. You need to WOW them into thinking you're smarter than they are even on this simple project.

i % 3 && i % 5 pretty much mean if it's divisible by 3 and divisible by 5 with no remainder then print fizzbuzz

What else could you do in this situation? Instead of using && there is something more simplistic. This goes beyond the realm of straight programming and shows that you're very logical.

i % 3 && i % 5 is the same thing as i % 15.

A number divisible by 3 and 5 means it must be divisible by the least common multiple. Using this and explaining why you chose this over && will give you a little bit of a leg up on the competition who do it the way you just did it.
