Welcome to the chat for this question!

???, 46 bytes print(8 - (2 * 5 - 3) + (1/2) * 10)#+++++P 5_3 The previous answer was in Headass. For the sake of everyone else doing this: Try it online in Ruby! Try it online in Jelly! Try it Online in Vyxal! Try It Online in rSNBATWPL! Try It Online in Headass!

For a hint, look at how it changed from last time

Oh, y'all got it

To whoever's creating the next answer, simply inserting your code on a single-line #comment between the existing two lines should work as long as it doesn't have a P

Vyxal, Python and Ruby will treat it as a comment, Jelly won't even evaluate it, Headass will work fine as long as there's no P and rSNBATWPL won't do anything

Oops lol – in theory putting a nilad before that # shouldn't break Jelly

Nobody

yah

why...hmm

emanresu A

Because # is a quick and needs something before that

Feel free to fix your existing cop with that

Nobody

what about now

edit to make it 100 char instead of 99, but I didn't run it

@emanresuA .

emanresu A

Yes, that should work - make sure to test it though

Yours is obviously bf, but for the sake of making this interesting I'm cracking it as SMBF

Nobody

04:41

haha

Steffan

the latest answer now outputs 1 on brainbool and 2 on brainflak now as well lol

emanresu A

Hm okay

Steffan

outputs 9 in pbrain

wait maybe I shouldn't've said that

emanresu A

Oh well

Nobody

hmm

FYI, the current polyglot is in brainfuck / SMBF / whatever

I'm trying to not participate too much, to give others a chance

For the rule "Cracking a submission consists of finding any programming language that prints the correct result, not just the intended one. If a submission is run in any language that was not declared or found to work, there are no requirements to do anything, and future answers must be valid in that language.": let's say I intended language X, but someone cracks it in language Y, should all the next answers run in language X or Y? The wording in your rule isn't exactly clear to me as is tbh.

oh what a doofus i am, i could have had both headass and headascii in the polyglot challenge, if i had only played headascii first

unicode for a small number would be like, 53

and then id just wait for the 53rd post, and just add an exclamation point, and itd print the actual ascii number rather than the encoded character

but alas!

oh theres a chat for that now i forgotLOL

if a mod strolls thru feel free to dump my messages in there

@KevinCruijssen I interpret it as meaning all the next answers must run in language Y.

I'm gonna try every dialect of Python on TIO

Then I'm gonna try every praclang on ATO

I'll eventually get there

pxeger

Wow that's some clever/cursed operator precedence. I suspect we're looking for a lang with 32-bit ints and print, and numbers with underscores obviously. Of course, it could just be a red herring... — emanresu A 11 mins ago

why do you think "numbers with underscores" is relevant?

oh, in order that 5_3 not error?

emanresu A

Because when I tried Perl / Python 2 it gave a syntax error

pxeger

I didn't even think about that lol

emanresu A

Hmmm

pxeger

(that's been there since the vyxal answer, you know)

emanresu A

19:50

I know

Aiden Chow

is it a valid crack if the number isnt printed by itself, but its with another number

pxeger

I don't think so

Aiden Chow

e.g.: tio.run/##S0r@/…

@emanresuA

pxeger

@AidenChow (spoiler: it's not intended to be bc)

emanresu A

I'd say no because otherwise tio.run/##K05OzEn8/…

pxeger

19:53

@emanresuA you mean because the error message contains the output?

emanresu A

If the language the author intended prints the number by itself and what you've found doesn't, I think it's reasonable to say it's not a vlaid crack

o/ ofr now

pxeger

Aiden Chow

ah ok

Aiden Chow

20:05

man if there was a # as the very first character in the first line it would work in bc :|

hmm now why would 8-(2*5-3)+(1/2)*10+8-4*(2147483647*2%3) output 1 in bc, a bit strange

so close yet so far: tio.run/##S04sSsnMS8z5/…

Crystal throws an overflow error

emanresu A

21:38

I went through everything on the wikipedia page for # comments and nothing :|

Love this error message

emanresu A

21:55

@pxeger Does your one have to be run on a 32-bit OS?

emanresu A

22:08

Hmm - pxeger's code prints 17 in anything C-like

(or at least that expression)

So... I feel likee this is a red herring

Except... the value is 9 + 4 * something, which can't be 10

Unless the (1/2) * 10 has a meaning

Then the value is 14 - 4 * something

And 2147483647 * 2 = -2, so the language must have:

- a python style modulo
- 32-bit ints
- Division of integers creates floats
- Numbers can contain underscores.
- # comments
- a `print` function
- Must be a scripting language

xonsh produces 4 6.0 0 53

I'm trying to use goruby but can't figure out how to install it

Wish me luck, I'm going down the rvm rabbit hole

It better not be gosu

I don't even want to try and install that
