An exploration of direct and monadic patterns for solving nontrivial problems.
There are a variety of strategies for handling control flow tasks in Scala. Unfortunately, many examples are so simplistic that they don't really showcase the challenges and advantages one faces in a realistic, nontrivial scenario.
This repository is a place to explore more hefty challenges for different styles of flow control and abstraction. There's no "a monad is like a burrito" here; we'll assume you have at least a basic familiarity with the styles and simply want to see reasonable solutions to not-straightforward problems.
Each folder contains a different challenge. Within that folder, there is
a single ChallengeWhatever.scala file that contains the challenge as
a library, and a set of SolutionSoAndSo.scala files that each contain
a different way to solve the problem, which are intended to be run
with scala-cli using
scala-cli SolutionSoAndSo.scala ChallengeWhatever.scala(plus JVM arguments if necessary, since using jvm doesn't always work).
