In a career in computer programming, would I be in a cubicle coding 100101011010010010001001010100... etc.?

Smaller than 16ft^2 or 4ft x 4ft (cubicle), or bigger than 16ft^2 or 4ft x 4ft (office)

In a career in computer programming, would I be in a cubicle coding 100101011010010010001001010100... etc.?
"100101011010010010001001010100" is the language that the computer understands which will be impractical for your to understand due to sheer amount of command equivalents that you have to memorize (though you might a genius, but then again, most probably not).





Instead, you might be using a "programming language" that a person can understand. It does this by giving equivalents from the "machine langauage" to "human language".





So you will most probably be writing something like this:





#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;





main()





{


int target;


int guess;


int again;








printf("\n Do you want to guess a number 1=yes, 0=no");


scanf("%d", %26amp;again);





while (again)


{


target = rand % 100;


guess = target + 1;





while(target=guess)





{


printf("\n What is your guess? ");


scanf("%d", %26amp;guess);





if(target %26gt; guess) printf("Too Low");


else printf("Too High");


}





printf("\n Well done you got it!\n");


printf("\n Do you want to guess a number 1=yes, 0=no");


scanf("%d",%26amp;again);


}


}








each of this commands have equivalent series of 1's and 0's attached to it for the computer to do the task you are asking.








And the size of your office depends how good of a programmer you are... though you can do programming at home :-)
Reply:I am trying to gather info about a career because my CAT conference is today and we had 'till the conference today to gather information about whether we want to go into that area or not. FYI: I am not a genius, but I am one of the top 3 in my class.


Thanks, William Wilson Report It

Reply:well yeah.. I think so. Better still, you will also be handling some set theories and graph theories too, just to make your program user-friendly
Reply:When I was an undergraduate, I was employed as a computer programmer for an engineering firm. I worked in the GIS department and worked on writing custom programs in C++ and VBA for ArcGIS software.





I was only in the office about 60% of the time, the rest of the time I was out in various cities helping to map out their sewer/water lines.





It was a fun job but I eventually decided to move on. I don't know that there's a "traditional" computer programming job.
