Ninety Nine problems … AND a bit aint 1

February 27, 2008 – 12:17 am

When I was talking my functional programming class back at my university, I absolutely hated programming in OCaml. Not that I have graduated and started coding on my own, I kind of miss it. Since it’s always fun to learn a new language, I decided to learn F#. I will be tackling 99 problems in order to learn the language. I want to able to say that I have used a lot of programming languages extensively. So far my list includes C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, CSS, HTML, coldfusion, SQL, T-SQL and javascript. For those that don’t think HTML is a language, look up the acrynonm :)

To start off I will learn more about F# at Microsoft website..

F# @ Microsoft Research

Also feel free to leave any solutions that are can be used to solve it in a different way. That way we can mutually learn the language. Or if you like solve it in a different language.

EDIT: My apologizes the reason for these was originally inspired by these guys http://www.frickinsweet.com/99problems/post/Starting-things-off.aspx

  5. It’s great to see more an more people learning F#! The 99 problems so far for us (Ryan and I) have proved to be a great way to learn by bending the language to solve problems that you may never run into again.

    but I can’t say I’m too fond of your name choice. . . ATLEAST without a link-back. ;)

    Looking forward to seeing your solutions!

  6. I’ve written half of Ninety-Nine Prolog Problems in Prolog. And when I considered C for the problem #1, I thought that the problem set matched so functional and logic languages so tightly. In my cents, there ought to be another problem sets for imperative languages like C or Java.
