I'm like, right so I've used 2 dimensional array with recursive iterat...
Right okay just stop, I don't understand
What's the point in asking anyway? -
Seethe4599yAlbert Einstein: "if you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it well enough yourself."
Being able to explain what you do is a very important and useful skill if you plan to ever work on a team or step up your career level. I believe I just read an interview with the CTO of Stack Overflow where he explained that above the ability to code well, he would place the ability to communicate well. -
compSci9589y@Seethe I disagree with that. Explaining thought process and explaining how you did something are two different things.
I can explain in detail my thought process on how I would go about solving a problem.
But explaining code or mathematically premise to somebody with no quantifiable knowledge of either of the subjects is difficult.
It requires a certain type of skill.
Not possessing the skill in my opinion doesn't mean you don't understand it yourself.
