I would like to contribute 'knapsack'. See https://github.com/exercism/cpp/pull/795

I want to translate two-bucket. In fact, the translation is almost finished, there's just one thing where I could use some input. There are two types of test cases: -...

@jhaand As a mentor on the C track I agree. But that has nothing to do with this language-agnostic problem specification, more with how the exercise was translated to C,...

> The problem-specifications does not dictate how the tests end up in the tracks, and some tracks may error, others may report, while still other tracks may not even implement...

I agree that students should be aware of encodings. But as you wrote reversing unicode strings is hard because you have to be aware of surrogate pairs, composite characters, combining...

I'd rather not do that. I'd prefer doing that in a different exercise. Currently it's a pretty simple exercise, well suited for beginners. Handling unicode properly would make it much...

@iHiD: tobega is of course correct, strings that contain human language are more complicated than a sequence of bytes, I get the objection that we should not teach that simple...

@iHiD I didn't know that ruby comes with grapheme clustering built into the language. That's really cool! Oh, I forgot about stylistic ligatures: For compatibility some ligatures that are often...

Did you try to research the problem, e.g. by asking your favorite search engine for "generate pythagorean triples"?
