Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Haskell

This one was fun, I think I wrote my first lazy infinite loop I cancel out at runtime, lost some time because I had misread the requirements on turning right.

Runs in 45 seconds on my Laptop in power-saver mode, which isn't very fast I fear.

                a = Array.listArray ((1, 1), (n, m)) . filter (/= '\n') $ s
