With Perl Weekly Challenge 339 being “Max Diff” and “Peak Point”, I started to think that “Point” was my hook into a musical theme, and that made me think of one of my favorite artists, David Wilcox. So please enjoy his song Turning Point while we solve this week’s tasks…
Perl Weekly Challenge: Maxwell’s Silver Highest
Perl Weekly Challenge 338: “Highest Row” and “Max Distance”…
Let’s have some fun!
Perl Weekly Challenge: Small, but Oddly Current
With Perl Weekly Challenge 337 being Smaller Than Current and an Odd Matrix, I figured I’d dig into my collection and pull out a track called Odd Ones on the Kanno Yōko (菅野 よう子) Cowboy Bebop soundtrack mini-album, Vitaminless.
So with the music out of the way, let’s do some odd programming and knock off PWC337.
Perl Weekly Challenge: The Score for Group Therapy
The tasks this week are “Equal Group” and “Final Score”, and I already used The Final Countdown back in PWC 325, so I couldn’t use that. So I went digging though my music collection, and I found this track from Steve Hackett’s Highly Strung album: Group Therapy.
So let’s sit down together for a group session with Perl Weekly Challenge 336.
Perl Weekly Challenge: Fanfare for the Common Character
This week I could have picked Aaron Copeland’s original arrangement of his work, but I really wanted to show off Keith Emerson’s masterful arrangement for ELP’s 1977 album.
So with plenty of fanfare, let’s dive into Perl Weekly Challenge 335!
Perl Weekly Challenge: SUMone tell me what makes a point VALID?
No music this week, I’m just jumping into the tasks, “Range Sum” and “Nearest Valid Point”. So let’s dive into Perl Weekly Challenge 334.
Perl Weekly Challenge: Zero is Not the End of the Line
This week’s challenge is about straight lines and duplicate zeros, so let’s jump to the end of the line and listen to some musicians who were decidedly not zeroes.
So let’s live the life we please with Perl Weekly Challenge 333.
Perl Weekly Challenge: Oddly Binary
With this PWC evoking “oddness”, the only music I could really use was David Bowie’s Space Oddity.
So let’s sit in our tin can far above the world and watch Perl Weekly Challenge 332 unfold.
Perl Weekly Challenge: You have the last word, Buddy…
This Perl Weekly Challenge has tasks “Last Word” and “Buddy Strings”, and that got me thinking about the spate of famous people dying lately, so I decided to give the “last word” to someone known not for words but for… his flugelhorn.
So now let’s see why Perl Weekly Challenge 331 feels so good…
Perl Weekly Challenge: [TITLE OF THE POST]
This Perl Weekly Challenge is all about algorithmic replacement, and in thinking about the second task I realized that algorithmic replacement was also possible in music.
So let’s modulate, hold a high note, and see if we can hear the title of Perl Weekly Challenge 330.
