The Nineteenth Byte

This challenge is pretty simple. As input, you take in a regular expression (no balancing groups or references or anything like that, just a BRE with simple character classes). Then, you output a truthy/falsey of whether or not your source code matches the regular expression. It's that simple! J...

@Maltysen: Will this work? (I wasn't 100% clear on the details)

(lambda i:print(bool(__import__('re').match(input(),i))))("(lambda i:print(bool(__import__('re').match(input(),i))))")

Dennis

As written, no. Python doesn't use basic regular expressions.

TanMath

@Dennis really?

@Dennis I don't think that was the intended meaning

How do you do python code highlighting for one code block?

Yes

@AlexA. I believe that's equivalent to a single NinjaBearMonkey'd

Calvin's Hobbies

thx

Alex A.

Dennis

@TanMath Yes. Basic regular expressions are very limited and have rather strange escaping rules. The only languages I know that use them are shell utilities.

@Maltysen You have tagged your question as quine, which normally means that reading you own source code is forbidden. If that's not your intention, you should say so in the question.

TanMath

what is miaou?

Maltysen

2:41 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you seems to be using a quine builtin

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Maltysen No, I'm not.

Maltysen

code.value?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I'm accessing the text element's value from which the source is contained.

code is an element on the page.

Maltysen

oh I see what you mean

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Yeah.

q, on the other hand, is a quining builtin.

some nut is downvoting all the challenges because they're uneducated ._.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

It's not Geobits, he reads before voting.

So it must be... alex. Because he definitely downvoted his own post.

And that makes sense. And that does not make sense.

Zach Gates

Dropped 52 bytes after the rule change hehe

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you're not making any sense :P

Dennis

@Maltysen All cheating quines were downvoted. I assume it is because reading your own source code is allowed.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Maltysen Indeed! Or NAWWWW

Alex A.

2:49 AM

@Dennis Zach since changed his to read the file so maybe he'll get downvoted too now.

That would make -1 on everything.

@AlexA. Let's hope not :P

I could fix it for you if you'd like >:D

If I get a downvote, I'm changing it back tbh

I hope I get another downvote, so my rep is at an even 57,800. The +2 is killing me.

Q: Choose The Powerball Numbers!

Powerball is an American lottery that has recently gained attention because the current jackpot (as of January 11, 2016) is the largest lotto prize in history, at about $1.4 billion (USD). Powerball players choose 5 distinct numbers from 69 numbered white balls, and 1 one "Powerball" number from...

it is sad a python reference was included...

Calvin's Hobbies

@TanMath Why?

Dennis

@Calvin'sHobbies Nope. Right now, it's easier to solve a challenge with the built-ins Jelly doesn't have.

Not in Jelly, of course.

Calvin's Hobbies

@TanMath It's a pretty simple problem, didn't think I'd be giving anything away

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Can someone check if this works for the quine regex thing?

I couldn't find a pattern that didn't match it correctly.

@Maltysen see comments on my answer

Is my answer doing the right thing or should I change it to search/findall

As the question reads, the entire program should match, yes? That was my understanding

@FlagAsSpam That sounds like a waste of valuable time one could spend golfing code or chatting about it.

@TanMath I don't know what happened with Bernoulli, but in this situation there really isn't any other way to do it (unless you count using id for randomness, which I've always been pretty iffy about)
