I agree that Odersky's version doesn't match the spec. Hint or no hint, it doesn't look like he even attempts to address the issue of inserting single digits into the encoding. He's solving a different, somewhat simpler problem.
I don't agree that the hint changes the problem statement. The original spec is relatively clear about the conditions under which you are allowed to insert a plain digit in the encoding. I can see how someone might interpret it differently, but it stresses that it's meant to be treated as a local decision -- you can only insert a digit if no word from the dictionary is a leftmost substring of the remaining letters. The hint simply clarifies what is already in the spec. Has anyone tried running Nolen's core.logic version yet to see if it works? At first glance, it looks like it only finds combinations of exactly two words that combine to encode the number, which isn't even the version that Odersky did. --Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
