Just got my VR headset. It is quite good, but unfortunately, it does not have an action button. So, it becomes difficult to interact with applications when your phone inside.

Looks like there is some error with autodetecting links in a post here, just fixed it with manually marking correctly as a link in his comment.

That's why it's an article and not a question.

So, for now, yes. I changed to article

In the first implementation, I tried to actually build the tree. But missed something, and got some duplications in the lowest branches. Then using the same tree trying to solve second part, I found more than one unbalanced branches and a long time had not noticed how it could be until I noticed duplications. Then I removed this way, and first part becomes much simpler if just search node which does not have parents. In the second part, you actually already have a tree when you know when it started from the first part.

Looks like just some simple implementation for Long Pulling requests.

But how about getting not just a progress but how to get some data before task finished. 

And also, I see beg security Issue, when I can get information from any other process. You use TaskId directly from the request like you trust everybody. And also easy to get SUBSCRIPT error.

BTW: do you suppose to acept someone's answer? Looks like it is mostly just discissing topic.

Today's task was pretty difficult, it takes few hours to solve it. I made a mistake in first part even if I got the right answer, but after when I rewrote my first part, the second part was solved quite fast. But I lost so much time to figure it out.

For current process

USER>f fmt="enuw","rusw","current","" do ##class(%SYS.NLS.Format).%New(fmt) w !,fmt,?10,$zd($h,11),?15,$zd($h,12)
 
enuw      Wed  Wednesday
rusw      Сре  Среда
current   St   středa
          Wed  Wednesday

Or for all new processes, without restart

%SYS>write $zd($h,12)
Wednesday
%SYS>Set ^SYS("NLS","Config","LocaleFormat")=1
 
%SYS>write $zd($h,12)
Wednesday
%SYS>Do Locale^NLSLOAD("rusw")
 
%SYS>write $zd($h,12)
Среда

Looks like we in the same timezone, and you solve tasks faster than me. When your time today was 15:47 minutes for the first task. But on the main Leaderboard fastest time 2:58. I really don't understand how it would be possible, to solve it so fast.

anagram used all letters, so I just compared lengths of strings and used $tr() to remove all characters from string one in another.

So, your code I would change like 

ClassMethod IsAnagram(word,test) as %Boolean {

  if $L(word)'=$L(test) return 0

  return $tr(word,test)=""

}

Look at the documentation, there are some formats available to use in the $zdate function. Where 11 (abbreviated) and 12(full) looks like what you need.

write $zdate($h, 11)
Tue

Write $zdate($h, 12)
Tuesday

you can use function DATEDIFF from SQL

write $system.SQL.DATEDIFF("yy", $zdh("01.01.1990",4), $h)

My solutions will be here

It would be better if you can add your SQL query, and if it is not a secret also Classes definition. So, we could see if something may be wrong with it. And you also should look at the book in the documentation about SQL Optimizations.

 set input="1212"
 set len=$l(input)/2
 set sum=0
 f i=1:1:len {
   if $e(input,i)=$e(input,len+i),$i(sum, i*2)
 }
 zw sum

I also started from $zstrip,  but in task 1111 should produce 1, when $zstrip returns only one 1.

for the second task, you should simply compare values from the first half of string with the same position from the second half.
