Last week, we had 3 new members joined Team PWC. jdos22, Matthew Neleigh and Gurunandan Bhat are all experienced Perl hackers.

jdos22 shared his solution to the Invert Bit task in Perl. Matthew Neleigh not only shared solutions to Week 121 but also Week #119 and Week #120.

Lucas Ransan introduced new language Miranda to the Team PWC. Thank you for your contributions.

Last couple of weeks, I noticed Stuart Little has been busy sharing solutions to past weeks tasks in the language Lua. This has pushed him to rank #2 in the Guest Leaders board. Top two guest contributors are Abigail and Stuart Little.

Last but not the least, I am throwing a fun task to all members of Team PWC. There is no deadline for this task. You take your own sweet time. The task is to come up with fun title logo to replace the existing one.

PWC blog title

I will pick one from all the received lots. I would like to see how creative you can be with regard to the logo. Just a gentle reminder, we are now known as The Weekly Challenge - Perl & Raku. You don’t need to put the literal text in the logo.

Let us share some interesting stats from the GitHub repository.

1. Commits: 18,583 (+206)

2. Pull Requests: 4,551 (+63)

3. Contributors: 171 (+2)

4. Fork: 217 (+3)

5. Stars: 97

Last but not least, I would like to thank each and every member for their support and encouragement.

Our solo sponsor Pete Sergeant has been a great support to keep us motivated. We are lucky that he agreed to continue the journey with us in the year 2021. I would like to personally thank Pete and his entire team for their generosity. It would be great if we could add few more to sponsor the prize money so that we could go back and declare weekly champions as we have done in the past. I hope and wish this will become possible in 2021. The amount doesn’t have to be huge. However, it would be nice to show off bunch of supporters. If an organisation comes forward and supports us then that would be the ultimate achievement.

TASK #1 › Average of Stream

Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar

You are given a stream of numbers, @N.

Write a script to print the average of the stream at every point.

Output:      10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, ...

Average of first number is 10.
Average of first 2 numbers (10+20)/2 = 15
Average of first 3 numbers (10+20+30)/3 = 20
Average of first 4 numbers (10+20+30+40)/4 = 25 and so on.
