🎥 The Pearls of Raku, Issue 2

The Pearls of Raku for your pleasure! The “with” statement, and setting a topic when working with regexes. Also a video with a full review of the Raku solutions 069-2.

🎥 The Pearls of Raku, Issue 1

Let me demonstrate a few interesting things that I found by looking at the Raku solutions of last week’s Perl Weekly Challenge 1. All of them are notable as they reflect how differently people think, how unexpectedly they approach the same problems, and how big Raku is. So big that you forget or never meet some of its corners. In this issue: method operatos, $*USAGE, and :skip-empty.

Gray code in Raku

Let us create a one-liner to generate the sequence of the so-called Gray code in the Raku programming language. This code is essentially a method of binary coding so that for each of the following integer number, you only change a single bit.

Finding stepping numbers in Raku

Here is a possible solution of the Task 1 of Week 52 of the Perl Weekly Challenge in the Raku programming language.

Find all stepping numbers between 100 and 999. A number is called a stepping number if the adjacent digits have a difference of 1.

Wave arrays, a solution in Raku

For the given array of integers, rearrange the items so that the shape of the resulting array resembles the wave, that is, the second item is less or equals than the first one, the third item is bigger or equals to the second, then again a smaller number, then a bigger, and so on.

A few more Raku challenges

1) From the given digits L, combine all possible numbers that are less than Y and that contain exactly X digits. 2) Write a function that from the given string returns the last word that matches the given regex.

Division by zero in Raku

Division by zero in Raku is one of my favourite topics. Let me demonstrate a couple of approaches that can be used in solving Task 1 of the Perl Weekly Challenge 31.

The task is to write a function that checks the division by zero without explicitly comparing the denominator with zero.

Raku challenge Week 26

Hello, let us solve the text-processing Task 1 from the Week 26 of the Perl Weekly Challenge. The task is: Take the two words and count all letters in the second word, which are present in the first word.

I have two solutions here, and I believe there is potential to make them shorter.

Generating sexy prime pairs in Raku

This is article about programming. This solves Task 1 of the Perl Weekly Challenge 027. The so-called sexy prime pairs are pairs of prime numbers that differ by 6.
