Introduction / Disclaimer ========================= We cannot submit our binaries because all the computation in our code happens at compile time, during template instatiation. In fact we use templates as a Pure Functional Programming Language! Long live the λ. That is, we use the C++ compiler as a functional interpreter. It is important to note that we had tons of fun forcing the compiler to do the computation instead of the program execution, in fact the templates stage the solution so the executable basically only prints out the answer!. As a consequence the code is ridiculously complex and the execution is super-slow. So this is a stylistic solution rather than an efficient one. We reached a solemn conclusion: out there, people (C++ programmers really) are learning functional programming to use Template Meta Programming, this is so complicated that the moment these people discover Haskell or any proper functional language they will cry tears of joy! Dependencies ============ The only required package is: g++ that can be installed with: sudo apt-get install g++ Running the program =================== first invoke ./install then ./lifter < yourmap.map Authors ======= Daniel Gutson Francisco Ferreira
