Is it true nga good ka in math, good pud ka sa programming?

I really hate those employers (or interviewers) who interview us, programmers, about the specific meanings of some programming-related terms, i.e. inheritance. Worst thing pa gyud kay dili sila mo-accept sa atong answer tungod kay ato ra gi-describe ang meaning or usefulness ana nga term based on what we have experienced, instead, mas mu-accept cla katong mga tinubagan nga, klaro kaau nga sinago gyud from internet or other sources - mas cla pa hinuon ang madawat. In my own opinion, I must say that these kind of people (employers or interviewers) are stupid! They must remember that we are programmers, and if they truly want programmers, they should test the knowledge of an applicant thru programming and not merely question and answers!

I, myself, is a programmer too and had tried to interview several applicants for our company, and in my case, I let them write programs or pseudo-codes and not ask them about "what do you mean by inheritance?". But if I do ask them like that, I always prefer those answers which are based from their opinions or experiences (plus) their actual programming capabilities!

P.S. I am sorry if kani nga reply kay nawala sa main topic ni T.S.

not necessarily, basta kamao lang ka ug logic..

ako gani dli man sad ko good in math...but i've been programming for about 9 years..dli man sad tanan programs nimo mo-involve of computation...there are some like payroll system.

yes, agree ko na dli jud maayo ka ug math to be a programmer, pero based on my experience it's really a big advantage that you know math, magamit mn gud na nimo like mag himo ka ug formula to solve the problem easier. magamit na nimo ang math specially if mo tackle naka ug animation and graphics

math is a must, meaning mata mata ba hehe ana man gyud na programmer bahala nakayamukat ang code, basta ang output mao, ok na na, mura ug OS nga you know na.

PS: mura ra na sa katng akng kaila na "SENIOR PROGRAMMER" na sa isa ka IT company sa cebu then gi interview cya sa isa ka daku na US-based IT company nya ang pangutana kay;
"DO you know about OOP concepts like inheritance,etc."
ang gitubag kay
"Yes of course but in real world inheritance is not being used.." Bang! wala na dawat!

nganong nakaingon man cya ? kay PHP developer man cya, bisag ang PHP capable na ug Object Oriented, wla ghapon na practice nya sa
iyang mga project.. in fact Senior Programmer cya.

OFF TOPIC:
Hahaha...I generally despise employers who get too technical with their interviews, we don't know the details of what we learn. What we do know is how to use the things we learn. Sometimes, we know the ins and outs of a certain functionality, sometimes we just remember what works for us.

But for this guy, it could only be a personality problem, I know it is hard to keep an open mind but you shouldn't just disregard concepts like that. Kung sa amo pa to ako na to gi-isahan og kilay, my framework relies on using inheritance and the other basic OOP concepts.

ON TOPIC:
Some of you might be right when you say that Math shouldn't be used as measurement of the capabilities of a programmer, but when you really think about it, you might just be bitter about not being good in Math in the early days. Please remember that Math is a pretty broad subject and the more you learn about Math the more you will find out that the other skills you were thinking that you were good at are still actually connected to Mathematics. Mathematics is the foundation of knowledge after all.

that's what separates the good programmer and the not, for me. programming is not just about the output or the logic of the program but it's all about what's in the inside, like optimize codes, organize with comments that even non programmers can have an idea, what the codes says,
