programmingOk programmers and code monkeys, it's time for Programming Challenge 2. Nothing overly complicated this time. I was just messing around and thought you'd like this quick little brain teaser.
It's a "just for fun" challenge. Choose your favorite language for this one. Here it goes:

Part A: Display/print a vertical sin wave using * characters.
Part B: Display same sin wave horizontally using * characters.

Part A should get you going in the right direction (esp. if you've never played with the sin functions in your language), but Part B is a bit more tricky. No graphics libraries, cheater.

Winner to receive 1 small shot of self satisfaction of completing trivial problem through useless challenge on obscure blog.
