I was working in a relatively new position at a company and their database was total crap so I built them a new on and transferred all the data over. I'm kind of worried about what it looks like now since it's been 3 years since I left and I think I was the only one in my office who knew how to design a database in Access.

@@stevenhart6788 I did something similar with a recurring seasonal job. Their detailed data on over 12,000 people was in one humongous, messy spreadsheet, which was almost impossible to search or query quickly, and full of repeats and errors, whereas my replacement database was a fraction of the size and fully relational. It looked almost identical to the old spreadsheet to users, but was far quicker, more intuitive, and above all, more reliable. Every time I returned, after 5 months' absence, someone in the IT Department had reverted it back to a huge, messy spreadsheet which I had to sort out before I could do my job. This went on for several years, after which I discovered that the problem was that nobody in IT really understood the advantages of databases. I expressed my incredulity in clear and succinct terms, then left them to their own devices. Turns out that after 6 or 7 months, their 'improved' spreadsheet had been deleting data during each save, until, finally, someone noticed that there was something wrong. They lost almost half of their data, because a mistake in their spreadsheet, which I had pointed out at the beginning, had been re-introduced. It cost them a lot of money. Only then did they decide that a database would be better than a spreadsheet. In fairness, they did apologise to me when I was doing an unrelated job for them, several years later.

I've had this nightmare of an experience as the poor sod fixing bugs in 10,000 lines of repetitive code. And not just one source code, but multiple 10,000-lines of repetitive sources. A simple bug fix would take days to accomplish because the variables were scattered absolutely everywhere, in multiple huge files. Ended up just refactoring everything as I went along. Eventually having to take just 5 minutes to fix a bug with the newly refactored code because the fix would require me to just change ONE thing instead of HUNDREDS.

Iterator although it could be index if you are working on arrays or something

Iota is another meaning. In fact languages like c++ have a function called iota which will fill array with sequentially increasing values starting from a value you decide.

Index is the best way to think about it. There are iterators in other languages and they are a bit different.

I assume it's originally from math... xyz and ijk are common variable/dimension names. When not using xyz coordinates, ijk is the more available set of short variable names, and thus eventually became the convention.

Maintainability also becomes a thing, especially when it comes to potential future changes.

Will there be negative conditions (like with leap years)? Non-modulo conditions? Etc.

sounds right to me, I was told it stood for integer but I believe your explanation more.

I thought of it as "iteration", "index" or "increment" depending on what the loop was doing.

"i" for iterator.

I just used i because it had no meaning, because i is a temporary variable

@@launchsquid n stands for integer in general. i, j and k are used for iteration. Sounds familiar? It's also used to represent vectors in math, but in C, it's arrays.

That probably explains why my dad used to write Sinclair BASIC progs with i and j (and occasionally k or even l) as the variables for his FOR-NEXT loops... before he ended up in management his gruntwork was a string of programming gigs on industrial mainframes that used that kind of hoary old language. Always thought it was a bit odd, and that maybe he was "leaving space" to use the lower letters for other purposes or something... (hey, I was like five years old, I knew nothing)

i stands for index.

^"i for index" comes from math, as do j and k. Current Fortran specs implicitly type variables starting with various initial letters, but you can disable them. Fortran is still in extensive use because of its performance in vector arithmetic, interestingly enough. It's not particularly hard to write in, once you get the hang of it.

The implicit integer variable names in fortran were those that started with i j k l m n. Or i to n, or the “in” crowd as I used to remember them. “In” for integer if you prefer. As a default I preferred “k”, because it doesn’t look like the numeral 1 or the lower case L. K was my kounter. This habit has persisted for 40 years.

For some reason I use k. And if I have a second for loop in a loop then I use c.

AnXplodinTurtle It's supposed to be easy. It's not just about "Can you solve it?" (if you cannot, why are you applying for a coding job?), but also about *how* you approach the problem. Are you writing something that works and calling it a day? Or are you planning, weighing pros and cons, preparing for future needs?

I just learnt something

i is for integer 'nuff said.

This would help understanding how FORTRAN ended up with i to n as integer naming initials, so far great. I was not aware of of 19th C conventions. My guess is that engineering/scientific programmers of my generation brought up on 14" Winchesters, punched tape, music ruled paper and teletype terminals developed some rigid habits through the use of FORTRAN. IBM FORTRAN was '56 maybe, I cut my teeth on FORTRAN 77 on a Perkin-Elmer, K&R came out '78? My money goes on FORTAN for 'popularising' it and their fore fathers for insping/informing them.

I j k and are actually used in linear algebra to denote the values of a vector so it’s still very common

Yes, but it's not about how difficult the task is per se. It's about how you think about the problem and how you would go about doing it. Which language you would do it in and what your code will look like. Like explained in the video, there are multiple ways it can be done and each way would show something different about the interviewee, so that's why it would be a good interview task, not because of its difficulty but of what it can show about the candidate as an exhibition of their skill and not just saying they can code.

To say the least, HOLY CRAP ROBLOX LUA DEVELOPERS ARE SO TERRIBLE 99.99% OF THE TIME, People would get me to work on a project because they couldn't find someone else to do it, so I'd help them out just to see that another dev had been there, only just to dump thousands of lines of spaghetti and garbled bad techniques. I'd just delete all of their code and script objects and do my job after that had been revealed to me. So glad I don't work with roblox development anymore. Apologies for any grammar errors, im too lazy to fix em

No, you can't use a switch statement, because you're not testing the same value against multiple possibilities where it can only be one of the possible values. A switch would be for something like "press 1 for English, press 2 for Spanish, press 3 for Sindarin..." In this code, you only test each value (i mod 3, i mod 5...) against one possibility.

would be cool to stick a little clicker on each of the LEDs and let it run

I'm also imagining it running a bicycle wheel somewhere with a card in the spokes.

attach a piezo buzzer and a couple of 555s plus the appropriate discrete components (one set for a short duration one-shot pulse, the other tuned to oscillate at a certain frequency different from all the other nearby ones) to each one? Beepboop city.

Kreditworks 😂 I love it.

Is there a JavaScript version of the Obfuscated C Contest? That looks like it would belong in it.

I think that's certainly the shortest way. I think this would win in "Code Golf" but it's not easy to read.

That's nice. At least for "code golf".

Very nice job, only complaint would be that it starts at 0 and goes to 99 instead of start at 1 and go to 100 :)

Filip Hendrik sounds like a children's game for young programmers 😂😂

Or, a drinking game where you add a couple more conditions to replace numbers and require consumption of a shot upon a mistake!

get well soon

JavaScript != Java he was using JavaScript, not Java, they are very different, the only similarity being part of their name...

Overlord Sweg dude you're melting my pathetic little brain

DreadKyller I was joking about how to implement it in an oo language like java

google FizzBuzz Enterprise.
