Assuming you've never approached this problem in the particular language, then it helps sharpen problem solving-skills.

If you've got any ideas for learning exercises how about you make a thread of your own?

This is very nice.

Well, if I was as great at scripting as some of you are, I wouldn't have a problem doing so. But obviously my knowledge of scripting prevents me from doing so.

Then please stay out of the scripting forum if all you're going to do is criticize others for trying to hone their skills. Clearly level collabs are also a waste of time, right?

Yeah, I'm going to stay out of the scripting forums for giving my opinion. Clearly my opinion has nothing to do with criticizing. I simply stated that I lack the knowledge to be able to make anything of a "scripting exercise". So, exactly what are you talking about??

I wouldn't insult someone for being a poor scripter. Did you even read the thread?

His criticism of this exercise when he clearly does not understand how scripting works (noted by his statement "doing things they can obviously do") is why I'm telling him to get out. His cynicism is not doing anything to help people who have an interest in learning to script or those who wish to improve their scripting. If anything, it's discouraging others from creating similar challenges.


Sweet irony.

Shortened

PHP Code:
function onCreated(){temp.s="function onCreated(){temp.s=\"%s\";temp.s=format(temp.s,temp.s);echo(temp.s);}";temp.s=format(temp.s,temp.s);echo(temp.s);} 
(It may not be -exactly- the same, but I think the lack of escaped quotes in the output is acceptable)

I propose the next exercise be a function generate prime numbers (with an arbitrary upper limit).

That was what I originally had, but it wasn't a true replication so I had go to the way I did with the quote variable. Ideally you should be able to paste your output, apply and have it still working.

It is not. (You can however take advantage of the fact that s maps to temp.s after definition.)

Noted, but it's a pretty trivial calculation.

My new shorter one.. only real difference is that format takes place in the echo.

PHP Code:
function onCreated(){q='"';s="function onCreated(){q='%s';s=%s%s%s;echo(format(s,q,q,s,q));}";echo(format(s,q,q,s,q));}

*shrug* it's a worthwhile exercise I think. Although the real trick would be getting it to generate prime numbers 'concurrently' (not really concurrent, but as close as you can get to it, using scheduleEvent() for example) :P
