Todays exercise was Allergies. I went off and made a allergen name dictionary that I …. didn’t need at all (why don’t I read the whole thing first). Looking at community solutions, people are using HasFlag() which is better, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercise is Robot Name. That site seems slow and unstable lately, I am thinking they are doing upgrades. However, I did have to submit my code twice since it timed out the first time around. Tried to be different[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercise is nucleotide. Count up the occurrences of a character in a string and throw an error if you find something that isn’t in ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘G’, or ‘T’. Nothing too interesting. Well looks like the book is out[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Today’s exercise was Gigasecond. You just return a Date Time that is a billion seconds after the one give. I thought surely there can’t be too many ways to do this, but everyone else used a slightly different method to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I passed the first quarter, hooray! For the leap year calculation exercism wanted me to combine my code into one statement. I think it is easier to read as-is so I left it. I went back to trying to make[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
You wouldn’t think I wouldn’t get so many code suggestions for a simple exercise like two-fer. I went through three iterations until it stopped suggesting things. Chill out guys the code worked just fine. I tried making a player select[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
