Traditionally, all programming languages implement the 3 most common boolean operations: `and`, `or`, `not`.

In the school we have learned, that...

We want to define the location `x`, `y` of a `point` on a two-dimensional plane where `x` and `y` are positive integers. Our definition of such a `point` will return a function (procedure). There are several possible functions to do that. Possible form of `point`: ```if:racket ~~~ (define (point a b) (lambda ...))...

Your job is to implement a function which returns the last `D` digits of an integer `N` as a list. ### Special cases: * If `D > (the number of digits of N)`, return all the digits. * If `D <= 0`, return an empty list. ## Examples: ``` N = 1 D = 1 result = [1] N = 1234 D = 2 result = [3, 4] N = 637547 D = 6 result...

# Summary: Given a number, `num`, return the shortest amount of `steps` it would take from 1, to land exactly on that number. # Description: A `step` is defined as either: - Adding 1 to the number: `num += 1` - Doubling the number: `num *= 2` You will always start from the number `1` and you will have to return th...

Everybody loves **pi**, but what if **pi** were a square? Given a number of digits ```digits```, find the smallest integer whose square is greater or equal to the sum of the squares of the first ```digits``` digits of pi, including the ```3``` before the decimal point. **Note:** Test cases will not extend beyond 100 d...
