Day 7: Camel Cards

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

I think you have the same solution, basically, just the details are a bit different. I like how you handled the joker, I didn't realise you could just multiply your best streak of cards to get the best possible combination.

I didn't multiply the streak, I just took the jokers and added them to the highest hand already in the list. Is that not what you did? It looked the same to me.

[-] hades@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

This is what I meant, but I phrased it poorly :)

In my solution I reimplement the logic of identifying the hand value, but with the presence of joker (instead of just reusing the same logic).
