@whimsical You are a smart cookie :D
-
@blindXfish I'm not too worried about it, from what I read it's pretty much leet code with graph theory
-
@CaptainRant how do you write tests to verify that something is random? 🙃
-
@Lensflare In computers, nothing is truly random, if I recall correctly. Depending on the acceptance range, I would say: define one and then see if the function always lands a Bell Curve.
-
@CaptainRant that would be my approach, too, but I think that should be out of a scope of a unit test.
And you don’t want to test the rng algo but the implementation that uses it. -
@Lensflare Indeed. Always test the output, iirc.
-
@CaptainRant Ah thanks, so the tests are made by people who don't know how to evaluate developers. Was going to anyway but will go through their practise stuff
-
@Lensflare I raise you: https://www.random.org/
-
@BordedDev What about it?
-
@whimsical cognitive tests are mostly just ego-strokes anyway.
-
@Wisecrack yeah, afterwards I thought those people were retarded giving such test. Couldn't take serious anymore.

@BordedDev Here's some more help if needed:

I hope it works out!!1!1!1 -
@Lensflare Your truly random data ;P
-
@CaptainRant Thanks, will dig into it
-
@BordedDev yeah but how is it supposed to help you testing if you did something randomly?
-
@Lensflare It's always random to someone ;P but if you want to have random data there you go
Had my first interview with a company now they want to schedule an in person (during work hours I assume) at their head office which is ~3 hours away with public transport... Also want me to do a Codility test, anyone done them before?
