Hi Dimitre,
I am keen to solve this problem. But I have a
doubt
.. Do you have a algorithm for this(If yes, please
share it), which I'll implement with XSLT 2.0 ? Or
we
have to also invent a algorithm for this..
I have an algorithm and an XSLT 2.0 solution that
runs successfully
with an available XSLT 2.0 processor and I will make
this solution
available, but I don't want to spoil the fun for
anyone, who'd accept
the challenge to find their own.
This all started a few weeks ago when my 12-year
daughter asked me if
I can write a program that will print all Fibonacci
numbers less than
1000000 (1 million).
I quickly wrote something in XSLT and it was a great
fun to change
some parameters of the problem and see
instantaneously the new result.
She was very curious how the program works and I had
to explain
everything, including what is a sequence and what
recursion is ...
Surprisingly, all these concepts are not difficult
to understand for a
12-year-old.
I can only envy such a girl or a boy, starting their
first programming
experience with a functional language at this age.
I have yet to think how we can best encourage
interest towards
functional programming at an early age -- probably
Jeni or David will
write a nice book for their kids in the next few
years and make it
available to other kids?
This is the best we can do for our children.
Cheers,
Dimitre.
