    Maybe because besides writing code on a paper, you can draw a concept of the program so that it became easier to compile your thoughts into a code?

    @devitalizer Sadly not. They wanted me to write an algorithm for a specific problem in a specific programming language. No pseudo code or logic map.

    @ianchak then it must be a test on knowing the syntax, however it is stupid.
    Btw, what was the problem you had to write the code to solve?

    @devitalizer Don't remember the exact problem, but it was something that required a recursive solution.

    Oh, that's so we can see how good you are at thinking of a solution while we stare at you! That's all!
