TASK #1 - Sum Bitwise Operator You are given list positive numbers, @n. Write script to calculate the sum of bitwise & operator for all unique pairs. Example 1 Input: @n = (1, 2, 3) Output: 3 Since (1 & 2) + (2 & 3) + (1 & 3) => 0 + 2 + 1 => 3. Example 2 Input: @n = (2, 3, 4) Output: 2 Since (2 & 3) + (2 & 4) + (3 & 4) => 2 + 0 + 0 => 2. MY NOTES: ok. Pretty easy. Identify all pairs, xor each, sum results. I did ch-1.pl and an optimized ch-1a.pl GUEST LANGUAGE: As a bonus, I also had a go at translating ch-1a.pl into C (look in the C directory for that), and then into Pascal (look in the pascal directory for that). TASK #2 - Summations You are given a list of positive numbers, @n. Write a script to find out the summations as described below. Example 1 Input: @n = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Output: 42 1 2 3 4 5 2 5 9 14 5 14 28 14 42 42 The nth Row starts with the second element of the (n-1)th row. The following element is sum of all elements except first element of previous row. You stop once you have just one element in the row. Example 2 Input: @n = (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) Output: 70 1 3 5 7 9 3 8 15 24 8 23 47 23 70 70 MY NOTES: hmmm. Terrible explanation, but I think the examples show what it means, which is quite easy. Could do that in different languages too:-) GUEST LANGUAGE: As a bonus, I also had a go at translating ch-2.pl into C (look in the C directory for that), and then into Pascal (look in the pascal directory for that).
