I've heard stories about people who almost got hired until the whiteboard test when they were asked to reverse an array and apparently didn't know how to write a simple loop... So I feel like they are necessary lol

Mandrake7028yI like it because it is how we all code everyday. We all use white boards to write stuff that language provides. We don't use computers we use white boards.

Funny story, I had to do the FizzBuzz one in PHP and very confident me created a variable to hold the output of "range(1, 100)". This was so I could loop with "foreach" and use the numbers 1-100 being held in the array. Once I reached the parking lot I facepalmed so hard realizing a simple "for" loop would have sufficed. I must have gotten nervous and cocky at the same time.

I have a fantasy where I'm not nervous enough to write fizzbuzz three ways: for a small number (recursive), a large number (for loop) and an extremely large number (map an array). which might not be correct, but at least shows I've done the required reading.
