Here. In a recent debate over writing the n very similar algorithms by hand (one for each number of inputs) vs. writing a data-driven algorithm to handle any number of inputs, Peter takes the middle route using the .NET CodeDOM to generate the simple algorithm for the required number of inputs at run-time.
What makes this interesting isn’t the result, which didn’t turn out to be the most efficient, but the approach itself, which is unique to metadata-enabled systems and something I completely forgot even existed. Thanks for the reminder, Peter!
