Out on Vacation!

Sunday, September 27, 2009

I am on a vacation this week – so no new puzzle this week.

However for those looking for a Java puzzle to think over this post should be interesting - http://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue173.html

Twisters – is a concept that I had come up in college. To use my own words ...

“Twisters is a coding competition with a difference.

It requires that you write a very simple Code. Most of the programs are not more than 20 lines!!!

E.g.: Write a Code to add two integers :-).
Twist – Do not use the plus sign in the entire program!!

A simple solution is,
{
int a = 10; b = 40;
int sum;
sum = a – (-b);
}”

Over the years there I have come across few tricks and tips in Java that also puts you off track. Here I present a collection of all such puzzles.
