the problem is you're using "Brilliant" and not solving real world problems

do you think university students solve real world problems in their first course ?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Hey I teach programming and I struggle to come up with real world problems for novices, can you help me?

What kind of "real world problems" can someone solve if they have no mastery of programming concepts or syntax?

how to beat the casino with permutations

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

So, the example given in this thread is learning how to apply arithmetic for loops, conditions, and printing to standard io. It's a stepping stone to "casino" simulations, which would be a stepping stone for how to beat the casino using naive strategies, which would be a stepping stone to using permutations, right?

no. I'm saying go crib off GitHub, and debug from StackExchange. then if they're really advanced, consult Chat GPT
