@orlp You should probably explain everything the average programmer wouldn't know, and some.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ that would make the question impossible to ask

o-o

it is not for the average programmer
 
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Is it for the people of PPCG?
 
orlp
orlp
you need to know about grammars
or be willing to read up on it for a bit
I mean, I could explain what a follow set is exactly
but that still wouldn't help you a bit
in how to compute it accurately :)
maybe the question is too hard for a code-golf
but I need a winning criterion
 
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ hooray, one of the most useless privileges :P

the nonterminals are only part of the grammar that describes valid sentences
 
feersum
feersum
12:22 AM
That's what I thought so the definition seemed a bit odd
to have a terminal to the right of a nonterminal in a sentence
 
orlp
orlp
@feersum that's the informal explanation
 
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
I have an idea for a new sort of regular expressions: "Expandable Expressions". They are concerned more with information compression, and can be abbreviated as "ExpExp" :D
 
orlp
orlp
if I have T -> 'a' and S -> T '+' T
you might see 'a' in the sentence, and think of that as a T, followed by a '+'
thus, follow(T) contains '+'

Q: Find the follow sets

12:40 AM
@orlp Do we assume that the start symbol is always S?
 
orlp

if you write down a grammar you need to know which symbol can come after another symbol
@feersum I have specified that in the question

@feersum no, the first symbol is always the starting symbol

indeed it does

($Q and $q both end up as the array)
 
ev3commander

12:59 AM
well i think it's because you are doing $Q[0..3] which is an array i guess? (sorry im not a powershell golfer)

@El'endiaStarman "In November 2015, László Babai, a mathematician and computer scientist at the University of Chicago, claimed to have proven that the graph isomorphism problem is solvable in quasi-polynomial time. This work has not yet been vetted.[4]"
quasi-polynomial, forgive me
but Babai is well-respected

Ah, I did hear about that!

it's unlikely he has made a mistake
this is graph isomorphism, right?
 
El'endia Starman

hmm
It's related, yes.
 
VisualMelon

@ev3commander yeah, that makes sense - the problem is I'm assigning it to $q, not $Q! - and doing $Q[0..3] on it's own doesn't break $Q

Until now, I didn't know question downvotes were free.
I think I'll downvote about 40 questions right now

would it be okay to my arithmetic-geometric mean question part of a series, even after it got so many answers?
I wouldn't be changing the actual challenge, just adding a scoreboard and paving the way for a few other challenges

I don't mean that you should wait longer, but you'll have to. You cannot start a bounty before 48 hours have passed.

@AlexA. With the second test case? Is Mac OS Python != regular Python?
Ideone agrees with me.

Oh, I was using random tests, not the ones in the post.
Yeah, I do get whitespace.
People have told me it's too hard so I'm considering ditching that requirement since there's only one answer and it has leading (and a bit of trailing) whitespace. u_u
Would anyone be pissed if I allowed whitespace?
Is it a bad idea?
