The Josephus Problem with source code in C++ [May 20, 2010]
This was for a Combinatorics class with Dr. L. (I don't put my own name up here; why would I put Dr. L's?) There are two source files included, both in C++. The first was adapted from a JavaScript source. The second is my own implementation using a circular linked list. All of it is here.
