Solving Einstein’s Puzzle with Constraint Programming
The following puzzle is a well-known meme in social networks. It is said to have been invented by young Einstein and back in the days I was ambitious enough to solve it by hand (you should try too!).
Yet, even simpler is to use Constraint Programming (CP). An excellent choice for doing that is MiniZinc, a free and open-source constraint modelling language. And the best thing is that you can control it by R! If you want to see how, read on!

Euler Coding Challenge: Build Maths’ Most Beautiful Formula in R
In this post, we will first give some intuition for and then demonstrate what is often called the most beautiful formula in mathematics, Euler’s identity, in R – first numerically with base R and then also symbolically, so read on!

Learning R: Creating Truth Tables
A short one for today: in this post we will learn how to easily create truth tables with R and will contribute our code to the growing repository of Rosetta code. I hope that you will learn a few tricks along the way, so read on!

Pseudo-Randomness: Creating Fake Noise
In data science, we try to find, sometimes well-hidden, patterns (= signal) in often seemingly random data (= noise). Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNG) try to do the opposite: hiding a deterministic data generating process (= signal) by making it look like randomness (= noise). If you want to understand some basics behind the scenes of this fascinating topic, read on!

Learning R: Christmas Coding Challenge
In this year’s end post I will give you a little programming challenge!
Everybody knows the Christmas song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”! Your task is to write an R script that creates the lyrics!

Learning R: Build a Password Generator
It is not easy to create secure passwords. The best way is to let a computer do it by randomly combining lower- and upper-case letters, digits and other printable characters.
If you want to learn how to write a small function to achieve that read on!

Learning R: Painting with Fire
A few months ago I published a post on recursion: To understand Recursion you have to understand Recursion…. In this post we will see how to use recursion to fill free areas of an image with colour, the caveats of recursion and how to transform a recursive algorithm into a loop-based version using a queue – so read on…
