Intersecting Number Wheels
October 1, 2019
Today’s exercise is a new task from Rosetta Code:
A number wheel has a name which is an uppercase letter and a set of ordered values which are either numbers or names. A number is generated from a named wheel by starting at the first value of the names wheel and advancing through subesquent values then wrapping around to the first value to form a “wheel”, according to the following rules: If the value is a number, yield it; if the value is a name, yield the next value from the named wheel; advance the position of the wheel. For instance, given two wheels A: 1 B 2 and B: 3 4, the sequence generated for wheel A is 1 3 2 1 4 2 1 3 2 1 4 2 ….
Your task is to write a program to calculate the sequences generated by intersecting number wheels. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
