Yes but you would at least change the syntax and retest the program expecting different results.

Boy, there has been a lot of change in the IT world since I dated Grace Hopper and they shot JFK down in Dallas. I’m finally retired and not missing it, although I have to fight the urge to dabble with LINUX every once in a while.

Apparently these socially incompetent code guru's that give interviews expect a perfect compiled code the first time or you are an idiot and need not apply. They expect someone to remember the syntax to "modulo"? I mean how many programs do you write that need "modulo"? I had do google it so I guess the 30 seconds I spent on the web googling "modulo java example" would have gotten me shown the door.

So if I get treated like this and I get the job it adds $20.00/hr to my asking hourly wage.

Is that just a figure of speech or you really that old? (or were you her 'boy toy'?)
