Project Euler was one of the first programming puzzle sites. I give credit to them for my interest in programming puzzles. However, I quickly abandoned them once I found other sites that was less math focused.
For my personal goals, I want to get better at programming and not at math. When I find myself spending more time on the math rather than programming, I just skip the problem. I suspect many people abandon Project Euler for the same reasons I encountered.
With all that said, I agree that not everyone can solve every problem and that is ok.
- jweather 5y agoWhat other sites do you recommend with less math-focused problems?
