Ninety-Nine Lisp Problems
I always wanted to get into functional programming and in the end i decided to go with Lisp, no particular reason other that I both like lists and code which is hard to read.
So after reading some tutorials about the quirks of functional programming, I searched for something more practical and stumbled upon the 99 Lisp Problems. I liked that idea and got to work!
I decided to solve these problems with these constraints:
- Only use the 7 primitive operators (quote, atom, eq, car, cdr, cons, cond), with the excpetion of equal, random, and the various function used in tests. This is not beacuse I am some kind of crazy purist but beacuse a rigid instruction set forces me to think in functional mode.
- Solve them using my solution. There are multiple ways to solve these problems, most of them will be better than mine I am sure. But because I'm doing this to learn functional programming, I'm not going to bother implementing the most performant solution, but instead compare that with mine and learn from it.
