HACKER Q&A
📣 xerok

I'm a graduate who focused on C/C++, HPC and CG. What to learn next?


I also studied maths and physics, among things I do remember. From those starting subjects, and knowing that I intend to start my career in the domain of computer graphics, I'm looking for a set of other "logical" next ones to learn.

And I'm struggling with defining "logical" in this context. Because right now my primary focus is deepening the set I already have, further exploring those subjects (something I'm doing right now with C++ and CG), and maybe learn a language like Lua. But on the other hand, after finding that job, I want to broaden my general CS knowledge, I'm really curious about cryptocurrencies and what I can do as a CS engineer to help solve the big problems of our time, such as climate change. So any answer going either direction is welcomed.

So far, technology has only created environmental problems. I don't think environmental problems created by technology can be solved with technology without creating another problems.

                //You may also add a code in the main method if you think it is necessary but never delete from the existing code.


1. accept (empID, empName, empSal) – 10 points - input N number of employees’ records. ID number must be unique. If ID number is not unique, discard the input.

2. displayAllEmp (empID, empName, empSal) – 5 points - display all employees’ records in table form

3. searchByID (empID, empName, empSal)) – 5 points - Input employee’s ID to be searched. Display employee’s information if found, otherwise, display an appropriate message. Use linear search in searching.

4. searchByName (empID, empName, empSal)) – 5 points - Input employee’s name to be searched. Display employee’s information if found, otherwise, display an appropriate message. Use binary search in searching.

5. countEmpSalary (empSal, sal) – 5 points - count and returns the number of employee whose salary is greater than sal

6. sortBySalaryInDescending (empID, empName, empSal) – 5 points - arrange the records in descending order using salary as the key

7. sortByEmpNameInAscending (empID, empName, empSal) - 5 points - arrange the records in ascending order using name as the key

8. deleteSpecificEmpByID (empID, empName, empSal) – 5 points - Inputs ID to be deleted. If found, remove the record, otherwise, display appropriate message.
