True fact!

Had my practical exam yesterday on Data Structures using C.
Had included this in my code
if(!count)
break;

Examiner: What type is count?
Me: Sir, it's an integer.
Then he asked me what was not expected.
Examiner: What does this exclamatory mark do?
In my mind: Now's the right time for the world to end. 😛

    Some teachers don't know their stuff and simply use the books they have in front of them. Sometimes that's enough but not always

    "Just kidding it a boolean!!!" "You should have seen your face haha" *makes changes when examiner looks away*

    Maybe the teacher was testing you? To see if you know what, why in case you copied from someone else?

    Is there a chance that the examiner was just testing you?

    No. He wasn't testing me.
    As a viva question, he further asked me
    Examiner: Name a hashing algorithm.
    Me: SHA
    Examiner: I don't know why all this batch students are giving dumb answers.

    I'm a 13 year old, and I know what this does. It's embarassing, the Computer Science and Programming teachers nowadays. They know nothing that they should, and often times are worse than their students.

    @SpencerBeige well, thinking about it, all the people who actually know shit are out in the real world working rather than teaching or even examining...
