Realizing my mistakes : Phone Interview Question and Comments

Today as I managed my blog settings, I realized two mistakes.

• I do not monitor the comments on my blog.
• I once wrote a lame code at http://krishnabhargav.blogspot.com/2008/02/phone-interview-question.html and expected job at amazon!

So let me first fix these two mistakes before you guys point out more.

1. Monitoring comments on my blog.

The comments are now monitored and I have set up email notifications for any comments posted. I apologize for not doing this earlier and I intend to reply to any comment posted. Your email address on the comment would be appreciated.

2. Lame code

Let me not repeat what I said in the post. Basically, you take source code with function calls as input and properly format it. For example,

foo (bar ( new Point(x, graph.getY()) )); should be formatted as

foo ( bar ( new Point ( x, graph.getY ( ) ) ) ) ;

Look at my earlier lame solution. Thanks to someone's comment, I realized the code I mentioned there works but is not readable and forget about maintainability. But at that time, I took the statement "i dont  care how you write the code" in the problem description too seriously. This time, again I write the same code but its better. And yet I am not using Regular Expressions. Someday I would be a great Reg Ex guy! The new code is

public static void RunSnippet()
{
        string code = "foo (bar ( new Point(x, graph.getY()) ));";
        code = Replace(code,'(');
        code = Replace(code,')');
        Console.WriteLine(code);
}
public static string Replace(string code,char ch)
{
        string[] splits = code.Split(ch);
        string fCode=string.Empty;
        foreach(string split in splits)
            fCode+=string.Format("{0} {1} ",split,ch);
        fCode = fCode.Substring(0,fCode.Length-3);
        return fCode.Trim();
}
