pyrmont

Premise

- consider X, a non-zero integer with n digits;
- consider Y, a non-zero integer that is formed by moving the first digit from X to the position of the last digit and shifting all of the remaining digits one place to their immediate left;
- there is a value for X such that, when doubled, equals Y.

Axioms

- when you double an integer, you multiply each of its digits by 2;
- the product of each digit being multipled by 2 may be incremented by 1 if the digit to its immediate right was 5 or more.

My friend Rob tweets:

The more experience I get with Ruby, the more irresponsible I feel when teaching it to new devs.

OK, so I think Ruby is a good language to use to start teaching programming for a number of reasons.

First, I believe it's best to start beginners with an object-oriented language. The OO paradigm provides, in my opinion, the best balance between power and comprehensibility. I'm happy to concede that OO languages do not immediately make sense to a lot of people in a way that procedural languages do. After all, if you can read a recipe, you can basically read procedural code. The problem is that it's pretty difficult to do anything interesting in procedural languages and doing interesting things is what will motivate a person to get past their early, and inevitable, frustration. You might accept this but argue that functional languages have a high degree of power and should be the starting point. Unfortunately, while functional
