>first job interview >asked to write hello world in C++

All my interviews have been in notepad or on whiteboard. Google had me use google docs for the over the phone interview

pen and paper is all you need for hello world

This is b8

didn't happen
but i wish it did

>>56380165

#include <iostream> int main(){std::cout << "Hello world"; return 0;}

this is how you write hello world for a potential employer. It shows you are efficient.

>>56380602
everyone knows that more lines = more program you dunce

>>56380602

> didn't even #include <windows.h>

You need to use at least 4 windows-specific API calls

>Using VS for C/C++
Enjoy your C99 compatibility.

Why do you need more that a plain text file and gcc?

uhhh... most people develop for windows on Linux, even ms devs themselves...

>>56380788
So uhh do they just assume the code is correct without any build tests?

Surprised people are replying to this b8.

Microsoft is so deeply inside the rectum of pretty much every company out there they would laugh if you used something else.

Also technically you should also only use the tools that are provided by the company due to standardization but you're just a NEET shitposting.

>>56380602
the include and the int main must be in diferent lines
the # makes the entire line to be a macro

>>56382152
nope

>>56382218

might be IDE specific, VS doesn't allow it.
I'm pretty sure it's not allowed anywhere though.

#includes should be on their own private lines

What the hell does resharper do anyways? Am actually curious.

>>56380686
>plain text file
Is a file format, not an editor. And to Windows users, it tends to imply use of Notepad, which really isn't ideal for anything more complex than Hello World. An editor with line numbers, at least, makes it much easier to resolve syntax errors.

>>56380788
What specifically makes Linux so better for development? Is it just things like make and an actually usable command prompt?

>>56382152
>>56382218
>>56382265
>>56383391
C/C++ standards say preprocessor directives are terminated by a newline, as there is no other explicit terminator like the ';' for regular code.

>>56380602
>unreadeable codes are what employers want

>>56380165
Visual studio is amazing, but in reality you shouldn't need that to write cout << "Hello World";

>>56383736
Whadaya mean got tricked?

>>56383964
>>cout

I really really hope you don't use

 using namespace std; 

>>56384047
A minimally acceptable answer would be what I put. Of course there are more satisfactory answers like yours that would be more in depth.

>>56384206
No, neither are acceptable.

>>56383517
it sharpers again

or it googles it.

>>56384269
Then this is why your teammates find you insufferable to work with.

>>56384206
If you used a namespace within a hello world program, they would literally hire you just to fire you 2 seconds later for being a faggot

>>56384305
It's an interview you dunce, and obviously a low level one if all they want is "Hello world" in C++.

You ever done an entry level or new grad position interview in your life?

>>56384358
How the fuck are you justifying writing "using namespace std" instead of std::cout.

Anyone that can touch type does not need that retarded shit.

>hello world
okay. what about some actual interview tests?

Seems like something I'd do when hiring.

Not that I'm involved in hiring, but the first thing I'd do is stick a developer on linux machine with a text editor (not ide) of their choice, and a modern gcc. Of course our real development isn't like that at all, we use plenty of tools to make our lives easier, but if you can't hack it with the bare basic tools, you probably don't understand enough to work here.

The time in my life where I train retarded windows based web dev kiddies how to 'cd' and 'ls' is over, and it's never coming back (don't even get my started on people not understanding pipes and stdin/stdout/stderr redirection)

>>56380165
>first job interview
>third time this has happened

Put some effort into this next time

>>56385031
I try to maintain a perspective.
I can work just as easily with hacked tools as professional tools.
When it comes to computer science, as with hacking, my key tenant is maintaining a multi faceted outlook. Be prepared for whatever may cross your path, and educate yourself when you are not.

>>56380672
Isn't C99 part of the C++14 spec?

>>56385082
As is the only way to survive as a developer. If you don't take that perspective, you'll get left behind after a few years.

Heard about a slightly older guy that applied to work at my office, as a dev for your standard CRUD style HTML5 frontend talking to a REST API backend. Wasn't doing well in the interview, proceeded to argue with my boss that visual basic is entirely appropriate for making modern web interfaces (he couldn't complete the javascript interview question adequately, wanted to do it in VB). He didn't get the job.

>>56382229
VSCode is actually pretty nice. It is free/open, fast (after initial load anyway), simple but with a lot of powerful features and cross platform. if you ignore it is from MS it is a solid editor.

>>56380664

You actually don't need any.

rubyist@Overmind:~/scratch$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
rubyist@Overmind:~/scratch$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -std=c11 -O2 -o foo.exe foo.c
rubyist@Overmind:~/scratch$ wine foo.exe
Hello World!

Even though this is b8, yeah. Using VS is just terrible unless it's for gamedev (where it's pretty much required).

Just use a decent text editor and a compiler. You really don't need anything else.

>>56385815
Nice programming there, fagget

>>56380951
>what is continuous integration

>>56386117
I don't think it's a question of need so much as want at this point.
It's full of bloat but fuck is it comfy to use, like one of those armchairs with the leg rest and the cup holder and the teamserver you don't need etc etc.

>>56386117
>terrible
If your PC is worse than smartphones 4 years ago. Otherwise there is no reason to use a text editor.

>>56380788
>>56383658
So that's why there are so few MS apps.

>>56383733

>>56380165
You fucking retard.

1) Get a text editor.
2) Learn to use the command line.
3) Profit.
