Perl solution to season 1 episode 6 programming challenge

Recommended Posts

I found out about this website about a week ago , and now I'm watching the show . Congrats !

I saw the programming challenge , and decided to write a solution in perl . Since perl is a dynamic language , I decided to use dynamic coding .

Sorry if I posted in the wrong topic ( and beeing one year late with the solution :) )

use strict;
use warnings;


sub generate_code {

    my $numbers=shift;
    my $total =shift;
    my $code;
    my $i;
    my @vars;

    for($i=0;$i<$numbers;$i++) {
        $code.="for(my $i${i}=1;$i${i}<$total;$i${i}++) {n";
        push(@vars,"$i${i}");
    }
    
    $code.="print "";
    
    map { $code.="$_ " } @vars;

    $code.="n" ";

    $code.=condition(@vars,$total);

    for($i=0;$i<$numbers;$i++) {
        $code.="}n";
    }

    $code;
}    
    
    
    

sub condition {
    my @arr=@{ shift @_ };
    my $number=shift;
    my $string="if(";

    for(my $i=0;$i<$#arr+1;$i++) {
        if($i==$#arr) {
            $string.="$arr[$i]==$number);";
            last;
        }
        $string.="$arr[$i]+";
    }
    
    $string;
}
            



my $num=shift || die "enter a number (n)n";
my $tot =shift || die "enter how many numbers should be added (k) n";

my $code=generate_code($tot,$num);

eval($code);
