My solutions to Code Jam problems

This repo contains my solutions to a few Google Code Jam problems. I first wrote these solutions in 2016, and then ported them to F# and wrapped them in a CLI. They aren't optimal solutions--in fact, one of them is quite slow--but they are my solutions.

Usage

To run a Code Jam solution, type

CodeJam --problem <problem-name>
rem Waits for input.
rem Outputs "Case #1:..."

Like any other Code Jam solution, the input will be taken from stdin, and output will go to stdout.

To get a usage message, run any of the following

CodeJam
CodeJam -h
CodeJam help
CodeJam --help

goto EndExampleOutput
This program can take a single argument --problem which can take the following values
rank-and-file : run a solution to the 2016 Round 1a 'Rank and File' problem
the-last-word : run a solution to the 2016 Round 1a 'The Last Word' problem
coin-jam : run a solution to the 2016 Qualification Round 'Coin Jam' problem

If no arguments are given, or the --help/help/-h argument is given, then this help message is printed.
If the --version/version/-V/-v argument is given, the version of this program is printed.

Input, just like in the real CodeJam, is fed through standard input.
:EndExampleOutput

A usage message is displayed when the arguments are invalid, too.

To find out what version of CodeJam you're using, run any of the following

CodeJam -v
CodeJam -V
CodeJam version
CodeJam --version

rem Outputs "Version #.#.#"
