Getting Started#

To begin solving these problems, simply click on the problem title or use the navigation menu on the left. Each problem page includes:

  • A detailed problem statement

  • Input and output examples

  • Any necessary background information

  • Hints to guide you towards a solution

Remember, the goal is not just to solve the problems, but to do so in the most APL-like way possible. Think in terms of arrays, leverage APL’s powerful primitives, and strive for concise, elegant solutions.

Tips for Success#

  • Read each problem statement carefully

  • Start with the simpler problems to build momentum

  • Don’t hesitate to revisit APL’s documentation for inspiration

  • Remember that there are often multiple ways to solve a problem in APL

  • Have fun and learn from each challenge!

Good luck, and may your arrays be ever in your favor!
