@RPK, interesting! I didn't know India had a different view of freelancing. Just clarify to the client that you're a software developer and hopefully apply the suggestions the OP have given here.

Sorry, I didn't meant to blame you on the downvote. The downvoter should explicitly provide reasons for the downvote.

comment What is an algorithm?
@Ubiquité, Set doesn't necessarily mean "not ordered". You can classify a set in the ordering you want (e.g. a random ordering). Still, that doesn't require a downvote because of people's interpretation of the word "set". Plus, you can have a compound set, which is a grouping of sets, which also is part of the algorithms. Hence "set" can be anything, as long as its appropriately used as an algorithmic solution to a problem.

comment Interesting non programming tasks for programmers
Guys, don't be surprised by it. I worked at a bank where the contracts stipulates that saturday is a working day. We didn't "work" on saturday per say (because developers never monitored jobs unless there was an application issue), but if we needed a long holiday, we booked those saturday(s) off. It's because of this, I've decided never to work weekends or call hours (where I have to be on calls in ridiculous hours) again. I have a life, if I die, a company can replace me easy so why not live? Give all saturdays off completely!!!.
