C++
Yesterday, I decided to code in Tcl. That program is still running, i will go back to the day 5 post once it finishes :)
Today was super simple. My first attempt worked in both cases, where the hardest part was really switching my ints to long longs. Part 1 worked on first compile and part 2 I had to compile twice after I realized the data type needs. Still, that change was made by search and replace.
I guess today was meant to be a real time race to get first answer? This is like day 1 stuff! Still, I have kids and a job so I did not get to stay up until the problem was posted.
I used C++ because I thought something intense may be coming on the part 2 problem, and I was burned yesterday. It looks like I spent another fast language on nothing! I think I'll keep zig in the hole for the next number cruncher.
Oh, and yes my TCL program is still running...
