Project#
The “getting started” project associated with this chapter is a solver of “Jumble” style anagram puzzles. It emphasizes systematic, incremental problem solving. Think, code a little, test a little, over and over as you build up a solution.
The Jumble solver also introduces a couple of common computing idioms:
Scanning a collection. We often solve a problem by checking each item in a collection, one by one.
Canonical forms. We often compare items while ignoring inessential details by putting each item into a unique canonical form.
