I notice grinder considered adder, I am not sure that I agree to arbitarily reaping homework nodes

My apologies. It was a flippant consideration and I really wouldn't expect it to be reaped. I was just a little surprised that no-one caught it before. That happened before I read this thread.

As for helping people who don't help themselves, consider supplying code that looks good at first glance, but is actually dreadful. I still get a giggle when I think of the reponse I posted to this thread. It was a question that asked to print out combinations of an array, and I came up with something that a) scales woefully and b) consumes prolifligate amounts of memory. It took something like 8 days CPU time to generate all combinations of a set of 10 elements (even though it spits out the solution to 4 elements snappily enough).:o)


print@_{sort keys %_},$/if%_=split//,'= & *a?b:e\f/h^h!j+n,o@o;r$s-t%t#u'

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
