RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 298

Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Maximal Square" and "Right Interval" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.

Maximal Right

If you code like this in any language then debugging becomes a cake walk. Well done and thanks for sharing.

The Right Square

Being a student of Math, I simply love the pure mathematical approach. I miss these symbols in my programming world. Great work.

arrays and matrixes

Pl/Perl implementation is worth checking, incredible. It reminded me when I used to do PL/SQL as in Oracle 9 days. Highly recommended.

Perl Weekly Challenge 298

Another great demo of PDL. It is becoming very common these days. Keep sharing knowledge with us.

Maximally Indexed Indices

Well narrated and self documented solution. Going through the ups and downs is not to be missed. I enjoyed the journey, well done.

Turn right at the big square

Nested loops using label to move around is fun to watch. Thanks for sharing knowledge with us every week.

The Weekly Challenge #298

Simple and easy approach without any gimmicks. Great work, keep it up.

Whatever You Do, Be Maximally Right

My favourite Postscript solution is discussed in the post again. It is fascinating to be honest. Highly recommended.

Maximizing the interval

Dealing with two dimension list in Python is so fun to watch. Anyone looking to get exposure in Python this is your friend.
