Do you feel adequately deranged working this month’s Exercise? I’m more of a math fanboy than an expert, yet I enjoyed the process of coding a subfactorial based in the equation presented.

This month’s Exercise presents what I often refer to as a code “toggle.” Many paths lead to a solution.

This month’s Exercise is to code a function that swaps two variables. The challenge really isn’t to swap the variables, but to figure out how to code a function that does so.

Tetration is a bizarre mathematical concept. I’ve watched quite a few YouTube videos where math geeks explain the details. They venture into the terrifying territory of humongous numbers that would consume the known universe. Your programming challenge for this month’s Exercise is far less massive.

I hope you came up with an interesting solution for this month’s Exercise, one different from my own. The goal is to output unique values from zero through ten billion, values where no two digits repeat.

I hope you didn’t “flip out” over this month’s Exercise. Flipping a coin can be done by hand or by using a computer. Using a computer is easier because it can be programmed to record each flip and it saves you hand muscle molecules for flipping and the chore of writing down the results.

The challenge for this month’s Exercise is to write the charcount() function, which returns the number of characters in a string. The character matches exactly, so don’t worry about checking uppercase and lowercase differences.

The challenge for this month’s Exercise is to convert a name from camelCase to snake_case and vice-versa. As usual, several approaches provide a possible solution. The directions were to output the results and not store them, so my solution is rather simple.

The challenge for this month’s Exercise is to tally the digits in an integer, reporting the sum. You must use math and not cheat by looking at the old solution, which I didn’t. Promise.

This month’s Exercise challenges you to swap two variables’ values without using a third variable. It’s a solution widely available on the Internet, but your job is to figure out the technique without looking elsewhere.
