CCSPiP Maze Generation with Elixir Get lost in the land of maze generation. A basic maze generator is showcased in Elixir, derived from Classic Computer Science Problems in Python.
CCSPiP DNA Search with Elixir We revisit the land of bioinformatics and try to find a codon in a proverbial gene haystack. Linear and binary search are implemented in Elixir to find if a gene contains a specific codon.
CCSPiP Unbreakable Encryption with Elixir Explores the basic cryptographic technique known as a one time pad using Elixir. Based on examples found in the book Classic Computer Science Problems in Python.
CCSPiP Trivial Gene Compression with Elixir Foray into an introductory compression technique for genes using Elixir. Based on examples found in the book Classic Computer Science Problems in Python.
CCSPiP Fibbing with Elixir Investigates a handful of simple approaches to generate Fibonacci numbers in Elixir based on a similar section in Classic Computer Science Problems in Python.
