I recently discovered RosettaCode. The initial blurb from the site is as follows:
Rosetta Code is a programming chrestomathy site. The idea is to present solutions to the same task in as many different languages as possible, to demonstrate how languages are similar and different, and to aid a person with a grounding in one approach to a problem in learning another. Rosetta Code currently has 370 tasks, and covers 195 languages, though we do not (and cannot) have solutions to every task in every language.
A variety of tasks are listed, and visitors to this site are invited to solve the tasks in the language of their choice. The tasks cover everything from the mundane Empty Program to the classic Towers of Hanoi, the practical User Input, the mathematically-inclined Lucas-Lehmer test, and the involved yet entertaining RCRPG.
I have made some small contributions to its collection of VBScript programs, as below:
99 Bottles of Beer Array concatenation Assertions Delete a file Execute a Markov algorithm Fibonacci sequence Flatten a list Function definition Generic swap Palindrome detection Pangram checker Program termination Sorting algorithms/Gnome sort Tokenize a string
Feel free to edit what I’ve done and add your own in whatever language takes your fancy.
