cp-project-euler VS advent-of-code-jq

I do hobby programing. It is sometimes to create something (supposedly) useful. Lately though it is more discovery and a little math like. I enjoy Project Euler (https://projecteuler.net/. Recently I have been playing with superpermutations (https://projecteuler.net/) and pencil and paper is useful but filling lots of paper with lots of numbers is not that fun.

As pointed out in a sibling comment, it appears that quote only shows up if you're logged in, but assuming you have an account and are logged in, it's on the homepage (https://projecteuler.net/), second paragraph under the following heading:

> I learned so much solving problem XXX, so is it okay to publish my solution elsewhere?

> It appears that you have answered your own question. There is nothing quite like that "Aha!" moment when you finally beat a problem which you have been working on for some time. It is often through the best of intentions in wishing to share our insights so that others can enjoy that moment too. Sadly, that will rarely be the case for your readers. Real learning is an active process and seeing how it is done is a long way from experiencing that epiphany of discovery. Please do not deny others what you have so richly valued yourself.

> However, the rule about sharing solutions outside of Project Euler does not apply to the first one-hundred problems, as long as any discussion clearly aims to instruct methods, not just provide answers, and does not directly threaten to undermine the enjoyment of solving later problems. Problems 1 to 100 provide a wealth of helpful introductory teaching material and if you are able to respect our requirements, then we give permission for those problems and their solutions to be discussed elsewhere.

You could say that providing code in an obscure language isn't really to "instruct methods", but I think it's within the spirit of the rules.

A long time ago, when I was playing with Project Euler problems, I had to resolve the following one:

Project Euler: Solve math and programming puzzles that help you think logically and improve your problem-solving skills.

With this newfound perspective, I embarked on a new path. I decided to tackle problems from Project Euler, solving them at scale and under various constraints. It is my hope that this approach will not only provide practical challenges but also allow me to apply and solidify my programming knowledge in a more engaging way.

Could solve Project Euler problems in Lua - aka, the easiest programming language to learn

Alternatively, you could get a homeschool math textbook. They're written differently because the assumption is that the kid is going to have to teach themselves, and as such they are significantly more thorough and easy to understand. I highly recommend them. Don't get the kind that are "workbooks", those are usually trash. Find a good textbook that the kid can write in their own notebook for and sell after they're done with it. They'll learn how Ebay works, and algebra!

How is this December starting for you? Have you already got into the Christmas mood? How many of you have started the new Advent of Code? Unfortunately, I am not managing to follow it this year, but I don't exclude the possibility of having a full-immersion during the holidays, who knows! 🎄

Inspired (and simplified) by the Advent of Code, you get bite-sized Docker knowledge every day! From December 1st to 24th, 2024, we'll explore everything containers - from basic concepts to advanced techniques. At the end of the 4 weeks, you will certainly have learned Docker and if you're lucky, you might even win some awesome swag!

December Adventure is an Advent of Code alternative that is meant as a productive, but low key, personal programming challenge. As explained by December Adventure progenitor Eli: “Pick a project, or projects and work on them a little bit every day in December.”

My personal challenge last year was to solve everything on my mobile phone, using LLMs (mostly ChatGPT4 with code interpreter; I didn't paste in the problems, but rather described the code I wanted.)

This year I'm declaring "Advent of Claude"! Write a Claude custom style to solve Advent of Code puzzles within Claude's UI.

Score: # adventofcode.com stars earned in 2 daily conversation turns.

Fine print: web app artifacts are allowed, including paste of your custom input into the artifact UI; one click only.

Per https://adventofcode.com/2024/about, wait until the daily http://adventofcode.com leaderboard is full before submitting LLM-generated solutions!

Of course, feel free to use ChatGPT custom instructions, static prompts, etc.

adventofcode.com is a website created by Eric Wastl where, from December 1st to December 25th, a daily programming puzzle is published. These puzzles can be solved with code, and they range from simple to complex as the days progress. If you enjoy programming, it’s an incredibly fun experience!. For a sneak peak, check out puzzles from previous years here.

It's that time of the year again! Advent of Code is my favorite coding challenge, and I enjoy talking about the problems with friends and coworkers.

The most well known is the Eric Wastl's Advent of Code it will start dropping daily challenges at midnight EST (UTC-5) on December 1. The puzzles are language agnostic. You can solve them in whatever language you want.

As a self-guided alternative, you could try going through https://adventofcode.com/ problems with your language of choice.

I'm working my way through Advent of Code's back catalog. 2018 Day 24 looks fun. Well, part 1 looks fun. I'm dreading whatever search part 2 will likely require. Anyway, AoC problems tend to be written in a style that suggests a way to implement. For example:

Advent of Code taught me a lot. It is a light programming contest that takes place every December and consists of a series of small programming puzzles that can be solved in any programming language. I find it an excellent way to keep my coding skills sharp.
