BookNumber: Nifty Assignment
BookNumber, which is also
called BookCode, is a "Nifty" problem presented at the 2006 symposium of SIGCSE
(Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education). It is a small, simple
but surprizing assignment which can be implemented with many data structures. It
can also be done with different algorithms.
An overall description or
"blurb" of BookNumber for instructors is here
