Day 4: Scratchcards


Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ or pastebin (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

    Aside from the general conciseness, the “universal function call syntax” is my favorite aspect of nim.

    If you want to take chaining procedures to the next level, try a concatenative language like Factor (I have a day 4 solution in this thread – with no assignment to variables).

    I also suggest having a look at Roc if you want a functional programming adventure, which offers great chaining syntax, a very friendly community, and is in an exciting development phase.

      Thank you, I’ll keep those in mind. Functional programming seems interesting to me, but I don’t have any practical experience with it. At some point I want to learn one of the languages that are dedicated to it. Nim does have some features for enabling a functional style, but the overall flexibility of the language probably makes it harder to learn said style.
