IIM Interview

This is a real episode which happened during the interview rounds of IIM for the class of 2004.

Interviewer said, "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!"

The candidate thought for a while and said, "My choice is one really difficult question." "Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the interviewer.

Here is your question: "What comes first, Day or Night?"

The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depended on the correctness of the answer to that one question. He thought for a while and said," It's DAY" sir!"

"How?" the interviewer asked.

"Sorry sir, you promised me that you would not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"

He was selected for IIM .

Moral : Technical Skill is the Mastery of Complexity, while Creativity is the Mastery of Simplicity.

How to deselect all the selection in a select ( combo ) box?

In a HTML page sometimes we may have to deslect all the selection in a select control of html. but as a user we can't do anything. But using Javascript programatically we can achieve this. Here is the sample code in Javascript. function clearSelect( selectObj ){ for (var i = 0; i selectObj .options[i].selected = false; } } note: we need to pass the select object as a parameter to this function. the alternative to this code is function clearSelect( selectObj ){ selectObj.selectedIndex = -1; }
