Hey Scott,
Just bumped across an old IJulia Notebook my 9-year old and I did last
year. He was getting '24' problems (use +,-,*,/ with 4 numbers to make 24)
and got one he swore couldn't be solved. We put together a little
brute-force solver to test that out -- he was right.
Anyway, I spruced it up a little and presented to his class, where
they had a good time playing with it. You can see the notebook at:
https://github.com/catawbasam/catawbasam_sandbox/blob/master/Julia_24.ipynb
We actually started off with Python, but switched to Julia, largely because
Julia's syntax is a little closer to the math notation the kids are used to
seeing.
regards,
Keith
