What did everyone doing the evolution of programming languages do for that question where you needed a real-world example of using the functional paradigm? I think most of us at my school answered that pretty poorly - it was a bit unexpected. I used the example of solving a magic square in a newspaper through the use of recursion - not exactly the way you'd really do it, but it does work.

I think most of my friends were on about solving maths problems, or something like that.
Yeah lol that question was a bit weak. I also used the example of solving a math problem which would require recursion. I think I talked about trying to solve/estimate irrational numbers like PI or whatever lols. Well I guess it's kind of true, they've got all these big computers to find PI to more and more decimal places don't they? :p

Arrrgh I spent ages perfecting my IEEE 754 Floating Point skills for essentially no gain whatsoever. I was kind of disappointed because I basically only studied dev. view of the hardware and it was relatively short compared to the rest of the exam.
