The Reformed Devs Monthly Challenge
June 2019
Background
The Reformed Devs on Slack began doing monthly code challenges a couple of months ago. We decided to begin hosting the challenges in the official TRD namespace for June 2019. You can see the previous challenges below:
The Challenge
Problem
Users will submit code to solve this problem, blatantly stolen from Project Euler.
What is the sum of the digits of the result of 100!, where n! represents n x (n - 1) ... x 3 x 2 x 1.
Example: 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120. The sum of the digits of 120 is 1 + 2 + 0, which is 3. Therefore the solution is 3.
Output
Use a .sh file to output your username, the results, and your solution's byte size.
Ex: echo "specs, `python run.py`, `wc -c < run.py`"
Scoring
This will be a golf challenge, so users will be scored based on the length of their solution in bytes.
