First set of JSL exercises and challenges

Here is the first set of exercises and challenges and some suggested solutions to them. I have created and modified these for you to improve and practice your JSL, problem-solving, algorithm development and general programming skills.

As there are so many files, I have uploaded them as two separate .zip-files, one for exercises and one for solutions. Let me know if they are for some reason too difficult to access as .zip-files and I can for example add them to github repository (that is something I might do for set 2 as it will be much easier to update them if there are any mistakes).

The exercises (mostly) follow similar pattern in the .jsl file:

Title of the exercise
Some creation information (author, when it was created and which JMP version was used)
Short description of the exercise or for the case
Explanation of the exercises and examples what should be returned.
Example inputs, nothing prevents you from creating your own inputs and I even suggest you do after you understand the exercise properly

Few suggestions regarding these:

These are not designed to be easy as they are closely related to real-life cases where I have used JSL (some are easy or easier and some can be quite difficult)
Try them first yourself just by utilizing JMP Scripting Index and JMP Scripting Guide
Ask questions related to this in this thread
Do not search for these questions from JMP Community as some of them are fairly directly taken from there
It is possibly there are mistakes here and there as it takes quite a lot of effort to create these and sometimes issues will get through...
If you get totally stuck, continue to next exercise and come back later or take a look at the solution

Have fun and good luck!
