Braille Translator Challenge
I'm loving the interconnected functions... far from ordinary indeed! You even went above and beyond with Part 1 by accepting a multi-line Braille input. Beautifully done!
Interesting choice to leave the lookup table as an array of flattened Braille blocks... I had considered that approach as well but ultimately went another route. I'll wait a little longer to see if anyone else wants to take a stab at this before sharing my solution.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing. :)
actually I initially converted each block into a binary number but decided that extra step wasn't needed. I see others used ARRAYTOTEXT and I considered that but I know excel does matrix operations very efficiently and although it makes the 'code' simplier, I wasn't sure if adding that would make it more or less efficient over all. Not that mine is any model of efficiency.
