Scenario 1

This is a pretty unlikely situation. One day of coding from scratch, and then give a demo? A demo is usually given for far larger programs than can be done in one day. I'd favour programmer A, as programmer B just gambles that he can find something suitable on the web (in the sense that not only should something be out there, but it should also be written clear enought that he can make the necessary adjustments in a day - the latter is far less likely than the former) but then, he basically starts on it the next (working) day. Programmer A probably understands the specification better than programmer B. But as I said, this is a pretty unlikely situation, so it's hard to give judgement.

Scenario 2

Child A did a far better job. Assignments aren't given so the teacher has something to show to a client or the headmaster. Assignments are given for the sole purpose of the child - the get the child to learn. Child A learned far more than child B. Child A now knows how to tackle the problem, child B just knows where to run to.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
