This article introduces how to solve the pirate game with a recursive solving algorithm in SAS, and how to analyze and visualize the law behind the complex logic of the pirate game. If you join in a pirate game next time, you can know your destiny ahead of time to reap the benefits and avoid getting killed.
Leonid Batkhan describes and discusses pros and cons of 3 different algorithms and SAS code implementations to calculate length of overlap of date/time intervals and integer intervals in general.
Leonid Batkhan introduces multipurpose TRIMS function that removes any leading, trailing or both leading and trailing characters from SAS strings.
Just because you are using CAS actions doesn't mean you can forget about the powerful SAS DATA step. The dataStep.runCode CAS action is here! Welcome back to my SAS Users blog series CAS Action! - a series on fundamentals. I've broken the series into logical, consumable parts. If you'd like
SAS' Leonid Batkhan shows how to cut away ANY unwanted trailing characters (not just blanks) from SAS text strings to clean up your data.

SAS' Leonid Batkhan reveals how to use versatile iterative DO loops with index variable pertaining to SAS DATA steps.
In many programming languages, there is a function named eval() that can be used to evaluate an expression and return the result at run time. For example, in Python, the eval() function parses the expression passed to it and runs a Python expression or code within the program. Even Python
SAS' Leonid Batkhan explains the data cleansing task of removing unwanted repeated characters in SAS character variables.
SAS' Leonid Batkhan reviews SAS functionality related to the character strings quoting/unquoting, then dives deep into unquoting SAS character variables.
