Programming Praxis: Feb 15, 2011
Below is my solution to the Programming Praxis problem from Feb. 15, 2011. The problem came from Google Code Jam Qualification Round Africa 2010. For more info, check this link. And here are some tests I did to make sure everything worked properly.
Kaprekar Numbers
Below is my solution to the Programming Praxis problem from Sept. 21, 2010. The problem was to find all Kaprekar numbers less than 1000. I wrote my solution in C++ to refresh my skills a little. For more info, see this link.
Project Euler Problem 11
The problem: Find the largest product of 4 adjacent numbers in a 20×20 grid. Numbers can be adjacent in any direction, vertical, horizontal, diagonal. http://projecteuler.net/problem=11 My solution (in java):

Project Euler Problem 36
Another one bites the dust! I worked with my brother David on this one, so a big thanks to him for his help. Here’s the problem: The decimal number, 585 = 10010010012 (binary), is palindromic in both bases. Find the sum of all numbers, less than one million, which are palindromic in base 10 and […]
Project Euler Problem 30
My solution to Project Euler Problem 30. Here’s the problem: Surprisingly there are only three numbers that can be written as the sum of fourth powers of their digits: 1634 = 14 + 64 + 34 + 44 8208 = 84 + 24 + 04 + 84 9474 = 94 + 44 + 74 + […]
