    no, it shows knowledge of C++. I'm a fairly competent C++ programmer, but I haven't done any serious algebra or math since college, and I couldn't do calculus to save my life right now. That has zero impact on the work I do as a software engineer, (unless I'm doing some scientific computing, obviously)

    If you program in C++, you need Boost. You should also know how to use the Standard Library (STL). Want to make games? After reading this, I don't like WxWidgets anymore. Want to add some scripting to your App?

    Yes, because John Q. Public really needs to program on the fly C++ Enterprise XML Scalable solutions that are Web 2.0 ready while he crosses I-beams riveting the new scaffolding for skyscrapers in New York.

    I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your obligation to say only accurate information! ~anonymous
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    void J(char*a){int f,i=0,c='1';for(;a[i]!='0';++i)if(i==81){
    puts(a);return;}for(;c<='9';++c){for(f=0;f<9;++f)if(a[i-i%27+i%9
    /3*3+f/3*9+f%3]==c||a[i%9+f*9]==c||a[i-i%9+f]==c)goto e;a[i]=c;J(a);a[i]
    ='0';e:;}}int main(int c,char**v){int t=0;if(c>1){for(;v[1][
    t];++t);if(t==81){J(v[1]);return 0;}}puts("sudoku [0-9]{81}");return 1;}

    I know I needed it doing tech support... man they were impressed ...

    it demonstrates flexibility and problem solving if you have it, but you are right, its not terribly useful for the norm.
