I am seeking a programming problem to solve, for pedagogical reasons, in several different programming languages. 1. The problem statement should be easily understood. 2. Its solution should be no more than a few hundred lines in most languages (except, perhaps, COBOL). 3. It should have general appeal. 4. Its solution should contain a mix of things: some text fiddling, some data structure manipulation, some array crunching. Suggestions?
