[VicPiMakers Projects] Challenge 1

[James Briante]

Hello all,

How is the challenge going? It’s good to hear that Pi members are using
different programming languages. So far there are four, Patrick is using
Rust, Mark G C++, Paul Python and I’ve used Delphi to make and validate the
programming challenge. Are there more out there?

If your programming language has a sorting function, output #7 is a give
away. If this is the case, you may want to write your own sorting function.
A good one to implement is the “selection sort”. It works has follows:

“First find the smallest element in the array and exchange it with the
element in the first position, then find the second smallest and exchange
it with the element in the second position, continue this way until the
array is completely sorted”. It can be implemented using two nested loops.

As an aside, messages from projects via vicpimakers.ca are ending up in my
spam folders. I’ve marked messages from Patrick, Mark G, and a few other as
not spam and hopefully Gmail machine learning will teach it how to handle
messages from projects. I may need to add filters.

Looking forward to seeing lots of solutions.

Jim B
