As Baq said, programs must: - be executable - (optional) take input from somewhere (e.g. stdin, or command line arguments) - (optional) write output (e.g., print statements) Would you be able to write a small script that implements solutions for Project Euler? (Even just a few of them.) - You don't need any input at first, because the problems are already specified. - You can write a separate program for each problem, or just comment out calls to each exercise's solver - Brute force is OK for many early problems - You probably know enough to write a function that solves an easy one (e.g., Nth fibonacci number) Once you write such a function, you should be able to find out how to write an executable program in your language, and then you're off to the races: Run it over and over from the command line until you (a) stop getting errors, and (b) get an answer that you can defend and understand. :)
