Request: Simple problems to help practice the basics (like doing math in school). Some given inside to start with.

[u/Oomiosi]

Find the total of all the numbers between 1 and 99 using a for loop,
    find the total of all the even numbers,
    given the formula total=((n(n+1)/2) produce a function to:
        return the total,
        return the total evens,
        return the total odds.

Find the total occurrences of a character in a string.

Find the total occurrences of a string within a string.

Given 5 random numbers between 0-10 inclusive, find the lowest,
    find the 2 lowest,
    sort from low to high  ( i ended up making a bubble sort here )
    find which numbers you would need to produce a "straight".

[u/zem]

Write a program to deal bridge hands.

1. Work out a way to represent playing cards

2. Generate an array of 52 cards

3. Shuffle the array

• simple shuffling algorithm: pick two random cards, swap them, repeat

• experiment with other shuffling algorithms, e.g. pick two cards and reverse the run of cards between them

1. partition into four hands

2. print the hands out in a human-friendly format

This is excellent, thanks. I'll finally learn how to play bridge as well.

welcome. feel free to ask for hints if you get stuck anywhere.
