Haskell bits and pieces
The nice thing about Haskell's laziness (assuming you use Data.Map rather than Data.Map.Strict) is that the laziness can do a ton of the work for you - you might've spotted a few Haskell solutions in earlier days' threads that use this kind of trick (eg for tabling/memoisation). Here's my evaluation function:
For part 2, we know what the graph should look like (it's just a binary adder); I think this is a maximal common subgraph problem, but I'm still reading around that at the mo. I'd love to know if there's a trick to this.
Thank you for showing this trick, I knew Haskell was lazy but this one blew my mind again.
Yeah, I remember when I saw this for the first time. It's astonishing how powerful lazy evaluation can be at times.
