I crafted my solution to the cumulative song exercise by separating the parts of the song that are repeated from the unique text. Specifically, the ordinal days are unique as well as the gifts. The rest of the text is sung over and over.

Two solutions are possible for this month’s Exercise, a string solution and a value solution. One is good for parsing the hex string right-to-left, the other for parsing the string left-to-right.

My solution to this month’s Exercise is split into two main parts. The first part generates the random value in the range of 1 to 100. The second part performs the Hailstone sequence on that value.

For my solution to this month’s Exercise I went binary. Several of the C language operators work at a binary level. Because the exercise was to make a binary, or bitwise, modification, I figured a binary operator would be in order.

The key to unlocking this month’s Exercise is not to go insane on the code that processes the solution. As I wrote in the Exercise post, with data analysis in C, it’s important to properly represent the data so that you can easily manipulate it.

This month’s task was to create code that translates spelling from a single word into the corresponding NATO phonetic alphabet words. For input such as hello the output would be something like:

A chessboard is merely a two-dimensional array — a matrix — one where the rows and columns are the same size. As long as you can write code to output an 8-by-8 board, you can modify the code to reset the board’s size to any value.

This month’s Exercise was to create a cycle of numbers, values that repeat within a certain range. Of all the Exercises presented so far on this site, this one probably has the greatest number of solutions.
