I was asked to explain how floating point numbers work and why a floating point error would occur.
This was for a web application developer position, the person who asked was just trying to come up with a way to bully candidates.
He picked the wrong developer. My background is in mathematics and I took an entire sequence on numerical methods.
I almost walked out, but I needed the job because my entire dept was getting laid off.
Why were you insulted? This sounds like a fundamental computer science question to me.
