Thanks Kunark, that was fun and uplifting. ¬.¬

Ah, I thought the minimum level was 1, so I added 1 to all of my scores. My new level is 0.5. Damnit!

Arrays aren't even present in DM. The /list object is kind of a mutant hybrid of linked lists and arrays, leaning more towards the former.

An array is generally an integer-indexed list of pointers or number types, where the desired data is read by adding the index to the memory position of the array.
A linked list is a set of objects which point to each other (normally only 'forward' in the list, a list using objects pointing forwards and backwards is 'doubly' linked).

At least, that's what I can remember from my Computing lessons 2 years ago.

[EDIT] My Foomer-style score:

Computer Science: 1
Software Engineering: 0.66
Programming: 1.06
Experience: 0 (I've done some professional work but not really enough to qualify here)
Knowledge: 1.28

Average: 0.8

Also yeah, the leftmost column is level '0'.

Who says the minimum is 1?

One of the things that has annoyed me about learning to program with BYOND over learning to program in C++ or something that the rest of the world is familiar with is that the terminology is different.

I might have a complete understanding of how to work with a certain term, but the term is different with BYOND, so when someone refers to it in their language, I have no idea what they're talking about.

So I look at the first question: "Doesn't know the difference between Array and LinkedList". I suspect that I probably do, but since I don't actually know what those references are referring to in common languages, I really don't.

Here's what I got (average):
Computer Science: 2
Software Engineering: 1
Programming: 2.5
Experience: 1 (my experience is 0, but the minimum you can get is 1...)
Knowledge: 1

Total average: 1.5

With no formal education and on-off programming experience of about 2.5 years, I'm better than expected! :-)

Edit: Ah, I thought the minimum level was 1, so I added 1 to all of my scores. My new level is 0.5. Damnit!

I'm a purely BYOND programmer, even if I did delve into C++ a while back, so I doubt I'd get higher than a 1 on that.

Someone should make a BYOND programmer competency test.
