How would the lame brute force code perform when implemented in G? 😄

Let's just say that the File I/O would no longer be the rate determining step.

"Real" programmers use switches and patch cables.

Looks like my basement...

one could kill for a basement that size or even a basement

At least they are looking at the help that ships with the system instead of posting something like "Help my lebview give error?" to the forums. I hope one of them is reading the style guidelines. That is WAY too many wire bends.

Just kidding. There were quite a few women deeply involved in the design of the ENIAC.

One could use a For Loop with autoindexing turned on.

Alternatively, let's use a while loop, but add a select statement with a First call primitive (since the shift register is uninitialized this almost makes it act like it was initialized).  But incrementing the shift register isn't enought, let's feed it through the Quotient & Remainder function.  Seen here.

"What was the developer thinking?" is my first reaction.

Wouldn't a "delete from array" and use the deleted value do the smae thing?

I just realized that path to string is polymorphic, so a loop isn't needed at all.

Maybe the CLD exam or CLA exam should include a section on how to interpret heavily Rubed code...

After all, if you're a consultant/contractor, that's what you often see out there..
