# Grains Calculate the number of grains of wheat on a chessboard given that the number on each square doubles. There once was a wise servant who saved the life of a prince. The king promised to pay whatever the servant could dream up. Knowing that the king loved chess, the servant told the king he would like to have grains of wheat. One grain on the first square of a chess board. Two grains on the next. Four on the third, and so on. There are 64 squares on a chessboard. Write code that shows: - how many grains were on each square, and - the total number of grains ## For bonus points Did you get the tests passing and the code clean? If you want to, these are some additional things you could try: - Optimize for speed. - Optimize for readability. Then please share your thoughts in a comment on the submission. Did this experiment make the code better? Worse? Did you learn anything from it? ## Resources Remember to check out the Perl 6 [documentation](https://docs.perl6.org/) and [resources](https://perl6.org/resources/) pages for information, tips, and examples if you get stuck. ## Running the tests There is a test suite and module included with the exercise. The test suite (a file with the extension `.t`) will attempt to run routines from the module (a file with the extension `.pm6`). Add/modify routines in the module so that the tests will pass! You can view the test data by executing the command `perl6 --doc *.t` (\* being the name of the test suite), and run the test suite for the exercise by executing the command `prove . --exec=perl6` in the exercise directory. You can also add the `-v` flag e.g. `prove . --exec=perl6 -v` to display all tests, including any optional tests marked as 'TODO'. ## Source JavaRanch Cattle Drive, exercise 6 [http://www.javaranch.com/grains.jsp](http://www.javaranch.com/grains.jsp) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
