Create an assessment directory
I've been doing a few take-home assessment recently, all of which I've attempted to solve using Haskell. I'm having a good time, and I'm noticing strong and weak points with my Haskell programming. I always attempt to apply any feedback a reviewer gives me, and I'm storing my first drafts, second attempts, and feedback here for now. This recently attempt was for a role at Jane Street.

I had an hour to solve it the +first time, and I unfortunately came up short although I made good progress. + +The problem asks to read input from a text file that looks like this: + +``` +1 -- board width +1 -- board height +4 -- number of lines of "moves" (below) +0 0 R -- create a unit vector (0,0) facing right +0 0 U -- create a unit vector (0,0) facing up +0 1 L -- create a unit vector (0,1) facing left +1 1 D -- create a unit vector (1,1) facing down +``` + +After parsing and validating the input, score the outcome a game where players +one and two alternatively take turns drawing lines on a board. Anytime one of +the players draws a line that creates a square from existing lines, they get a +point. |
