Probably the most low-effort blog post I've read in a while
- pbnjay 4y agoYeah… I was really interested in thinking about how to code a solution and then the post ended.
- diceduckmonk 4y agoIt’s not that deep. Same algorithm as for palindromes, but with different logical conditions on “equality” / continuation
- MontyCarloHall 4y agoUsually John Cook’s blog posts are extremely high quality, so I’ll give him a pass just this once.
- Waterluvian 4y agoFunny enough, I came to the comments section to say how much I enjoy the occasional short post that touches on one thing and moves on. I don’t need my life to be chock full of deep dives into ideas.
