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.

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.

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.

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.

This week’s Perl Weekly Challenge has a task that wants strings to be “nice”, but if musical theater has taught me anything, it’s that nice is different than good (remember “good“?). But then my wife pointed out that if the task wants the string to be nice, then it must be nice.

So let’s get Washington on our side with Perl Weekly Challenge 329.

Perl Weekly Challenge 328 is about replacing strings, and calling one of the problems “Good” made me think of a song my wife claims is mostly forgotten by mainstream fans of Queen: Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy.

So let’s crank out some good old-fashioned code.

To work on Perl Weekly Challenge 327 I must be MAD, you say? MAD? MAD?!?!

Are we there yet?
I’m tired
I’m hungry
How far?
My nose is snotty
Need to move my body
Gotta use the potty
Better stop the car!

Looking at this week’s challenge, the “date” aspect jumped out at me, and I thought of a an old song… Got a Date With an Angel.

So let’s get on our way to heaven with Perl Weekly Challenge 326.

Perhaps because I was just in a community production of Rock of Ages, the final counting of consecutive ones brought a 1986 song by Europe to mind.

Now since I’m no Andrew Lloyd Sondheim, let’s get on with Perl Weekly Challenge 325.
