@Stuxnet that helped (: and ouch. I've done it too. Isn't it a pain at the extra work done just from ignorance?

@dalastTomCruise Made me question if CS was a degree for me or not lol
-
@Stuxnet but you stuck with it right? I think everyone has had a moment like that at one time. Hopefully haha

@dalastTomCruise That happened last semester. In the intro to CS class.
But so far still sticking with it. I'll see how it's going after 5 or 6 classes (the required for a minor in CS)
So I did an interview today and the problem was given a = 1 2 3 and b = 2 3 write code that finds the common elements.
I asked what the data structures are and they said it can be whatever so I said cool then we can use sets and do an interception to get unique elements.... this was in Python... but for the life of me I couldn't remember what the intercept notation was... and brought that up hoping they're give me a hint haha.
So I ended up writing a 8-9 line solution for what could've been a one liner fml: return a | b.
All because I didn't know the notation and still needed to give them something. Painful to write when I knew I was reinventing the wheel. Sign
I almost never use sets so this was heartbreaking hopefully I still get an offer!
How bad of a fail is this in y'all opinion?
