no, it's that the function is incorrectly named for appropriate c style

also as if anybody would write an isNegative function in tyol 2015,just use a lambda function if you're working in a crippled language that doesn't have partially applied functions.

wait I know how to make it better

code:

static int isNegative(float arg)
{
        char *p = (char*) malloc(20);
        sprintf(p, "%f", arg);
        return(p[0] == '-');
}

}

haven't you read the coding standards? follow the naming scheme, always check your return values, don't use magic numbers, and be sure to use const

code:


static int number_isNgve(float arg)
{
#define MAX_NEG 20 * sizeof(unsigned char)
        const char* p = (char*)malloc(MAX_NEG);
        if (sprintf(p, "%f", arg)) 
            return(p[0] == '-');
        else {
          errno = ENOTSUP;
          return -1;
        }
}

I interviewed someone who wrote several functions and two classes to implement FizzBuzz. I would have stopped him but morbid curiosity kept me in check. We ended up hiring him.

I hired a guy that did fizz buzz just fine and he ended up being a completely poo poo programmer. It was then I realized that I was the completely poo poo programmer for thinking fizz buzz was a good measure of programming ability.

did you know? fizzbuzz is literally the lowest possible bar you can set for programming aptitude

nontechnical women and children can probably fizz a buzz

A while back I saw a person coding up Conway's Game of Life using a Cell class with two subclasses, LiveCell and DeadCell.

suppose 90% of programmers can pass fizzbuzz

suppose programmers from that 90% send out 5 resumes before being hired, and suppose the other 10% send out 45 resumes.

then that 10% of programmers will account for 50% of all CVs received

this is why a jawdroppingly easy test is so powerful in hiring

No back-of-the-envelope calculation is necessary, the standard explanation is "We'll stop asking Fizz Buzz at interviews when people stop failing it".
