Minimum

I did minimum of work this week (or at least that's what I consider to be minimal amount of coding and theory to say I wasn't doing nothing):  a couple of problems and reading about recursion.

Great experience was solving problem #18 of Project Euler.  I did a research about Pascal Triangles and figuring out the best ways to go through it, and finally came to a suitable algorithm.  However, implementing this algo wasn't a trivial thing as I first had imagined.  Several attempts with false results, couple of surpising realisations, and finally the bright insight which allowed for me to finish the problem and understand a few key points about casting a real-life approach into code.

I'm at problem #19 and have already misinterpreted it but came up with the result (sure enough it was wrong which made me to read the problem description more closely).  I think tomorrow I'll finish coding the problem as it should be, and will have whole week ahead to work on other problems as well.

This Monday it's Labour Day in USA, so my congratulations to all my US readers, and have a great holidays!!
