A common whiteboard interview question to weed people out who don't know what they are doing: "Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both...

Any standard test framework would be able to do this, it's just a string comparison. For quiz questions, it's likely that the person that set the exam wrote a correct solution and used that to generate test data, or used it directly in the assertions. If you were doing this kind of question...

IMO, it's much simpler to use String.Split (in Java, other languages have similar methods) or split using regex so you can deal with each word on its own.

There are so many. For sorting integers I think Radix sort is pretty cool. This tbh, sorting is just used to introduce algorithms + analysis. If you just use what's provided by the framework/language you get code which is likely highly optimised and more likely to be correct. They also often...

You can use the report button for this! Don't need to write a meaningful message if it's just spam.

This. It's a way of monetising the site (like ads) that's not meant to be very intrusive.

The default codecogs images don't display correctly with the dark tapatalk theme, so I tried changing it to have a white background but the PNG and GIF codecog latex images dont behave identically so it didn't work. If most people are using the light theme (black + white looks good in dark...

I believe Deakin Uni were one of the first to swap to this model, and they have shorter degree times - but UTS aren't quite there yet as the full range of subjects aren't offered over summer yet. One of the unsolved (as far as I know) issues with the trimester model at UTS was fitting in...

As far as I know, its not really meant to be a standalone degree - it's for combining with.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016 This is a relevant good read: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/ThePerilsofJavaSchools.html UNSW takes a different approach to some other universities. They do OO/Java in second year. The advantage of the UNSW approach is you have a greater understanding of...

No one else seems to be having this issue so it's a bit hard to diagnose, can you provide any more information? Are you trying to access a certain page, accessing via the main page, via the UNSW section etc.? Have you ever been able to access the thread?

I'll also add that web dev and other software development are gradually merging. Mobile apps are usually driven by a back end no different to modern dynamic websites, and a lot of new Enterprise applications are using web technology too. I think by web dev, you meant you want to be a full...

You won't really need much at all besides understanding basic maths and algebra until you pick a major, and even then only some majors have much maths. One of the first finance major subjects, Quantitative Business Analysis, is entirely maths and stats but they didn't really assume you did...

Re: IT/InfoSystems graduates: Where are you now? They are totally different, both in terms of skill sets and opportunities. I believe Data Analytics is growing a lot. If you are strong at and enjoy both maths and the technical side, I'd suggest the Data Analytics route - simply because I...

UTS have equalised the length of all 3 semesters, so we essentially run on a trimester model now. That pushed back autumn semester by about a month.

Re: UTS Timetable - Does the order of tutorials or lectures or practicals really matt No, if the order matters they will use block allocation and force you to pick them in the right order. In the past, lectures only ran in the first week and tutes/pracs lagged behind a week which meant the...

KG Campus is shutdown now I believe. As has been brought up, UTS time tabling is pretty good - especially for business. If you pick subjects in the appropriate semesters, I think almost all (definitely all early ones) can be completed at night. If you dont want night classes, the timetables...

You can get by without physics, it's maths that you would want to do a bridging course for. It's not worth skipping a semester just because your maths isnt up to scratch yet, even in the worst case scenario you should still enrol and just not do the maths units in the first sem. The problem...

Yep, a few years ago there were a bunch of different rankings system across the different states. But the ATAR is just a rank, it doesn't necessarily mean the different systems that result in those ranks have to be similar.

BOSTES is NSW only, every state has their own board and system. There are likely similarities between the different systems, but it wouldn't work exactly the same as the HSC.
