Polyglot implementations of "safadeza" calculus.
Sometimes, you want to know how safad(o/a) - a Brazilian Portuguese word for
naughty - someone is. A very popular Brazilian musician desbribes himself as
being 99%
an angelical and perfect person; but the other 1%
is naughty - as
you can see in the lyrics.
A very clever professor from a state university in Brazil proposed a way o calculing how safado some is based on his/her date of birth.
The magical formula needs:
A sum
function which takes an int
a returns the sum of it with all its
previous positive integers, e.g. sum(5) = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1
.
A safadeza
function which is given by:
safadeza = sum(month) + (year / 100) * (50 - day)
An angel
function which is given by:
angel = 100 - safadeza
The last two functions MUST return a float
So this repo is for writing code that shows others how safado they are.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with c:
The programming question which quotes Wesley Safadão and turned to be a hit on the web.
It all started when a professor from the Quixadá campus of the Federal University of Ceará - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) - Jefferson de Carvalho called everyone's attention by using a hit of the sertanejo and forró music to teach imperative programming logic to his students.
He was inspired by the song Aquele 1%, which is a success from the duo Marcos & Belutti featuring a very popular Brazilian musician, Wesley Safadão, to write his logical challenge.
If you'd like to find out more content about this funny story, there are lots of good resources on the web about it.

This project may seem useless, but, amazingly, it is not.
In about two days it achieved something interesting: a deterministic algorithm said to be simple which when implemented in 40+ languages, tells us a lot! E.g.
It shows us a different programming logic from the imperative one we are probably used to think, such as declarative.
It allows us to think in different paradigms from the ones we are probably used to think, e.g. functional and logical ones.
It allows us to study and analyze new implementations in new langs, for example: a taste of Smalltalk's pure Object Orientation - hooray for Allan Kay, Adele Goldberg et al! - or a bit of functional programming in Haskell - and its beautiful type system, monads etc. - or the different logic that a language based on Horn Clauses such as Prolog reveals.
Or, amazingly, the underground languages that we don't know - after all, getting to know a DSL written in JS, which has a different approach to prototype-based OO or a declarative DSL written in TypeScript and LiveScript which has a type system inspired by Idris and aims printers is not something you do every day.
So the lesson is: that kind of initiative shows us that in modern times not only with FizzBuzz-alike implementations you can learn programming logic/languages/ paradigms.
