Subject: [DFW CFUG] Code Challenges?
I was just reading on CF-Talk where someone was looking for a function that
would turn a number (i.e. 125) into its equivalent text (i.e. one hundred and
twenty five). Then some other guy responded with a solution, and mentioned that
he wrote it as part of a code challenge for his local CFUG. Which got me to
wondering if our CFUG has ever had some sort of official coding challenge. I
remember a while back on the list when someone (can't remember who) posed a
problem and the rest of us tried to come up with the most "elegant" solution.
That was fun, as I recall.
So, would there be any interest in having some sort of monthly code challenge?
Perhaps it would be announced at the meeting and then folks would be able to
show their working code at the next meeting. That might be an incentive to come
to the meetings. Or it could be done via the list. However, I think announcing
it at the meeting and then seeing solutions at the next meeting is nice because
it would give entrants into the contest a whole month to think on the
challenge. Thus the challenges could be something more difficult or at least
something that would take more time.
Or what if the challenge was announced at the meeting (or on the list, but
still on the day of the meeting), and then valid or winning (not sure how to
define 'winning') solutions would be shown on a special page on the DFWCFUG
website.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Chris
