perlmeditation japhy This looks deceptively easy. My code (which I believe is as short as possible) is 11 characters. (Perhaps this is unfair -- it's more like a "who can hit the ball where I hit it" challenge than a "who can hit the ball far" challenge.) <p> <b>Goal:</b> create a function that takes a list of strings as its arguments and returns the characters of those strings in reversed order. <i>That's it!</i> <code> print R(123); # 321 print R(12,34,56); # 654321 sub R {...} # <-- my best score: 11 </code> More than meets the eye. I'm betting a handful of you get an answer of 14 characters, but there might be a couple who slip through and figure out the trick to save a character, and another few to get it down to 11. <br><br> <tt><font color="#0000ff">japhy</font></tt> -- <a href="/index.pl?node=japhy&lastnode_id=1072">Perl and Regex Hacker</a>
