Hi
I like Irv's idea of programming problems as a way of teaching
Euphoria.

Here's my attempt at his first problem:
--Euphoria code starts:
--This is a version of PAY.ex
sequence cmd, name, temp
atom taxrate, hours, payrate, takehome, gross, tax

include get.e

cmd=command_line()

name=cmd[3]
temp=value(cmd[4]) hours=temp[2]
temp=value(cmd[5]) payrate=temp[2]

taxrate=0.25

gross=hours*payrate
tax=gross*taxrate
takehome=gross-tax

printf(1, "%9s %12.2f %12.2f %12.2f %12.2f", {name, hours, gross, tax,
takehome})
--Euphoria code ends
