well, are you good at java at least?

Let it be known that helping OP is no different from training a Pajeet to take your job

Congrats, you took the job away from someone who actually is really good at this lol

How did you get hired without knowing the language? What language did they test you in?

Also, the term c/c++ confuses me, does it mean you'll be programming in both? Or does it typically just refer to C?

>>60459664

don't tell anyone. it's very possible to sort of wing it in c++ if you're familiar with programming logic. just make sure to crank out lines of code, which is a measure of your productivity. write as much as you can, and then if somebody calls you out on an error you can point to your manic productivity as an excuse. copy basic function definitions from stack overflow rather than using a library.

also, make your documentation and logic as confusing as possible to discourage people from looking too close. use single letter variables or add different typos to related variable/function names so that they're difficult to search for. reuse names as often as possible when they leave scope. overload random shit. make your own globals by putting variables in a struct and passing a pointer into every function.

the objective is just to confuse and delay until you've got the hang of things. it's served me well on multiple occasions.

>>60460641
Is that really an interview question?
Fucking dumb, just get a list of all primes, sum it and then keep the answer somewhere. Not like primes will change tomorrow.

If you know C you're good. C++ is just C with libraries (and extra library using features like OOP)

Real op here. I got a task to sort an array. I somehow managed to remember the algorithm from school, about 4 years ago. I also had to write a recursive function. They also asked some theoretical questions, and while i didn't know some answers, they said that no one from my university knows. I usualy code in C, watched C++ youtube videos for 2 hours before the interview, it helped. But im still not very comfident in my C++ skills. Any small project recomendations to practice? P.S. i have no idea what i will do in that job. They said I may even have to program in other languages

>>60462258
looks like they don't care that much, so you should be ok

C++ is not a hard language.
Language makers often experiment by implementing a lot of features to see if they make programming easier.
There is a ton of C++ programmers, clearly it can be learned.
C faggots like to bring up things that is undefined or unclear from reading the code, but it is much easier to make good applications desktop applications with C++.

A former coworker of mine was hired as a java programmer with no prior java experience at all. However, he has a masters in EE and previously was a printer firmware developer working in ASM and C. Best java developer we ever hired.

I don't have to be directly using a program for it to affect me. Imagine if it were managing my bank balance, or doing process control on the power grid... Alternatively, imagine it wasn't originally intended for those purposes, but the code was sold off, and then reused in one of those purposes.

I believe software firms should have some basic standards. And C++ in particular is a language that you really, really need to know some of the odd idiosyncrasies of the language to avoid writing garbage code.

I've been working as a C++ dev for 8 months now. When I started out I had only academic experience plus some games I wrote in my free time. I got into a pretty nice startup and my boss was understanding and let me learn on the job. So far one of the biggest challenges was not going crazy among the people around me always talking low level shit. Now they're my friends and I actually enjoy being around them more than around regular people.

The thing about C++ is that nobody knows how to fucking use it even if they know the language. The more they know the more dangerous code they produce that will be a nightmare to work with. Prepare yourself for seeing an incoherent mix of abstraction layers in code and learning a ton of shit about memory, compilation, linking, adding libraries, cmake, CLI tools and all that. God help you if you're gonna work on Windows.

If you already know how to code in another language then you should be fine. Just pick up a reference manual and consult it any if you need to know how to do something specific.
Also, if anyone asks why you're slow just say that it is written in a way that you are not use too or if the documentation is crap blame that.
