Brute works here because of bad test case. Author could have generated a smart test case and then optimal algorithm could be using suffix array which takes O(n), brute would take O(n!). However a bit smart brute gave the answer in approx 3-

I wonder what was Apple's Macbook Pro doing in that .net fanboi/freak house. They should be using windows on some dell/hp machine.

"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." and your code mylord does not passes the bill. Also I do agree with OP, python support readability and it make sense to choose it over other languages where clarity mat

"Maybe it's Rails or Python or something. Now, name 4 people on the core team without looking them up." Wrong. I use python and I do know the name of at least 20 core devs. May be because I hang at #python-dev or follow them at twitter, but

bpython is awesome, far better than ipython and is the best tool to learn new libraries. bob did a great job there. Also weave is fantastic. Do check tarek's work on python-weave client. Rest are time-tested and well-proven tools.

K&R is not only about C. It is about programming practices in general and is content-packed. So much power in so thin book, just like C itself, a language with only 32 keywords.
