I've interviewed several candidates for software development positions. In the interview I ask them how good they believe they ate at Java from 1 to 10, everyone always says 6 7 or 8. Then I ask them to right an outrageously easy program, given three numbers, return the largest.
Out of the 15 interviews I have given, 4 have been able to write the program. People who failed include someone with 8 years java experience and recent graduates.
I do not understand how anyone can get a degree in computer science or maintain a developer position without being able to do this.

it's because they don't have 8 years of experience, but like 3 months of experience that they repeated for 8 years

I'm all for stretching the truth on your resume as long as it's within reasonable limits but the guy whose resume I'm working on right now lists "strong understanding" of python, java, actionscript, IIS, Nginx, etc. while I know that at best he has a "[x] for dummies" book he bought and never read about each of those and zero coding experience.

when nginx first came about I think it was pronounced "in-jinx" and not "engine x"

there isn't a built in math function that returns the largest number of a set?

We tell them they can't use certain methods. Like we also ask for the length of a string but you can't use .size ()

It's Java, so surely there's a library somewhere that does this and 56,000 other things, you just need to find the right library and thumb through the documentation until you find the right method.
I hate Java programming for exactly this reason because
code:ret = MAX(i, MAX(j, k))

Gross dude I want to take your interview test, you should start a new thread tho.
PS: Don't make me do it in Java, I haven't touched Java for like 10+ years (except for my Android app which sucks)

Doing fizzbuzz is seriously one of our questions, and only like ⅙ of candidates even know where to start. It's really eye-opening.
We even let you use any language you want.

I can post it later, I can only access the forums through my phone and putting up all that would be annoying. I'll post it when I get home.

THis guy has a section on his resume about how he likes "the internet in general" and just moved "to be closer to my grandma". Pertinent job-seeking factoids.

Yeah it's a really awfully bad resumé and instead of rewriting for him I think I'm just going to teach him about what a resumé is and what purpose it serves and make him re-write it before I touch it up.
