Here's another freebie!! I signed up for a programming problem of the day. I got my first one today, rated "easy".
Here's the description of the problem.
https://git.qoto.org/Absinthe/sum-of-number-in-list/blob/master/README.md
My code to solve it, though not clean and delicious, is in that same repo, but certainly give it a crack before peeking. :)
@Absinthe this one was actually "easy", just translated the description and mercury solved it for me (no squinting required), so I decided to throw in some input handling and that was the painful part as usual.

But of course the real challenge is doing it in one pass... in a language that might not have a concept of a pass...
@namark I really do wish I could run the code :(
I usually try not to involve I/O in the problems as that can just add an unnecessary layer of complexity to most things.
So, let me ask, the line that says
A + B = K ... does that generate a whole bunch of things like (1 + K-1) (2 + K-2) (3 + K-3) and so on?
If that is the case, what does it feel like if your list of numbers are large? Like 1,234,567,890?
