Code Hunt

More Caesar Code… I must confess I’m a little disappointed. My expectations for the “Cypher” sector were certainly higher. Now I’m through before it started! Tho good side: probably no more ASCII-table lookups 😉 ► All CodeHunt Episodes: http://goo.gl/WtTJ3L ► Let’s Develop! http://letsdeveloper.com ► Don’t Miss an Episode: http://goo.gl/whzDi1 «CodeHunt» […]

Sorting arrays is simple, but I find it a little disappointing how easy the actual solution is… Access to Arrays.sort() was prohibited in prior tasks. I think it should be here too. ► All CodeHunt Episodes: http://goo.gl/WtTJ3L ► Let’s Develop! http://letsdeveloper.com ► Don’t Miss an Episode: http://goo.gl/whzDi1 «CodeHunt» An educational […]

Task 9 was easy enough, but task 10 freaked me out, until I found that the generated test cases are simply wrong. My final solution does not fulfill all of them! What is it MSResearch? Wrong test cases or acceptance of a wrong solution? ► All CodeHunt Episodes: http://goo.gl/WtTJ3L ► […]

This is the most code I’ve written for a single CodeHunt task so far. Since there is no way to dynamically change the size of arrays and we cannot use the collections from the standard library, we’ve got to come up with our own version of arrayCopy. Still: full skill […]

Counting occurrences and computing the index of elements in arrays. Rather simple tasks to get started with the Search Sort sector. ► All CodeHunt Episodes: http://goo.gl/WtTJ3L ► Let’s Develop! http://letsdeveloper.com ► Don’t Miss an Episode: http://goo.gl/whzDi1 «CodeHunt» An educational coding game from Microsoft Research. https://codehunt.com «Other Series» ► Let’s Develop […]

This is a tough one. Took me a while to wrap my head around the concept. Stumbled across the solution more by chance than by systematic search, but I got it right, in the end 😉 ► All CodeHunt Episodes: http://goo.gl/WtTJ3L ► Let’s Develop! http://letsdeveloper.com ► Don’t Miss an Episode: […]

Implementing value-replacement and some i’m-not-sure-what-purpose computation on arrays. The biggest challenge remains the allocation of arrays with previously unknown size, but we know the pattern from before. Again, the solution are quite long for CodeHunt. ► All CodeHunt Episodes: http://goo.gl/WtTJ3L ► Let’s Develop! http://letsdeveloper.com ► Don’t Miss an Episode: http://goo.gl/whzDi1 […]

How to check deep equality of arrays in Java? Got me confused, this one. But it helps to focus on the most simple tools we have available: Checking array length and concrete indexes. Finally got me through this one *sight*. ► All CodeHunt Episodes: http://goo.gl/WtTJ3L ► Let’s Develop! http://letsdeveloper.com ► […]
