CODERBYTE PROGRAMMING CHALLENGES
11 MAR PROGRAMMING JAVASCRIPT PYTHON
As someone who enjoys programming as a hobby, this was an awesome experience. I spent a night on it and finished all of the challenges that I was able to and left fairly satisfied. Having some previous experience with "programming competitions/contents/challenges", I've found that often times they were actually "mathematics competitions/contests/challenges". Don't get me wrong, math is pretty great, but it's not what I want to challenge myself with. I want to think about programming, not calculating. I don't want to think of intricate formulas to deduce the exact number of times a certain card-shuffling algorithm will have to run in order to produce the original deck. I want to write a program that takes an argument, does something creative or unique with it, and then spits out a result.
