I did it again, one line of code to complete the exercise Acronym which takes a sentence and makes an acronym out of it. That one should be in the easy category, not medium. For the 2048 game I improved[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Today’s exercise was Isogram (a word with no repeating letters). Since everyone was showing off their higher-order and LINQ stuff yesterday I decided to see if I could do it in just that too. Here it is. Other solutions were[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercise was Pangram (a sentence that includes all of the letters of the alphabet). I thought my solution was small but everyone else did it in a single line of linq code. Bunch of show-offs. Why do we play[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

No 2048 today. Instead I started a second exercise. The first was Dominoes. In that one you check and see if a pile of dominoes can be set end to end in a ring of matching counts. It was hard[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Today’s exercise was Spiral Matrix you start at 0,0 and go around and around plotting numbers until you reach the center turning when you get to a plotted number or edge (I just shrunk the range you can move through[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercise is Matching Brackets. Checks if the curly brackets, braces, and parenthesis are balanced and in the correct order for a given string. Pretty chill. On the 2048 game, you can now win, lose, and pause. I put in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I think Bob is exercism‘s quintessential exercise. That was the one that I did today. Making sure that yelling mode included letters tripped me up for a bit but I got it. I went over time allocated, but I translated[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sometimes an exercise is hard because it is difficult. Other times, like for today’s exercise, Clock. It is hard because you didn’t specify the problem completely. You specified that I needed to implement IEquatable. However it did not tell me[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
