Is it necessary to memorize every line of code for getting a job in software development?

Answer 1

I do not think anyone memorizes every line of code. It is much more important to be able to understand what the program does and be able to demonstrate your skills properly while you are in the process of being recruited.

Answer 2

Definitely not. Imagine an employer asking a job applicant to recite the whole source code of a software😂😂😂✌

Answer 3

Not really. It's essential for you to understand the basic concepts to be able to do the work. If you can demonstrate your abilities to an employer so they can see you know what you are doing, that's usually enough.

Answer 4

Not necessary, Your boss won't stop you from looking at reference or asking questions online as long as you know what you're doing and you understand it there's no problem with that. Programming in general isn't about memorization , it's about being able to convey task into code.

Answer 5

You should not memorize tour codes but you have to beable to read it. That means look at the code and tell anyone what it is about OR what is happening. Just like a language you can speak.

Your boss or future employer will probably not know coding and you have to explain what you did without any tevhnical or coding terms

Answer 6

You absolutely don't need to memorize all lines of code.
But you need to know the syntax of the language (So that you can read or write any code)

Answer 7

First you learn the syntax,
At a more advanced level it is then useful to know about patterns and well known algorithms.
It is a bit like chess:
First you learn the basic moves, so you can play...
And as you want to get better you memorize classic sequences.

Answer 8

I dont think so.. Every programmer needs practice to understand the codes and demonstrate it. Memorization doesnot make any sense. As it is truly said : Practice makes the man perfect 😊
