Actually, it's 6 Arrays, if you look carefully

And Arrays are prone to that, so that may be the cause...

Thanks (even looking carefully I'm out of my depth in JavaScript)

I tried filling it with Strings, but it wouldn't allow me to use r[0][2]='z'; then

Try adding the inner arrays one at a time in a loop and see if it does the same

I assume the output is already what you want, apart from too many cs being replaced?

Yeah, this is just a test run to narrow down the problem

From my 200-something long partially-done mostly-golfed solution... ugh

@PeterTaylor haha, I'm hearing "challenge accepted!" :D

@ETHproductions Hmm. That's a lot of extra characters. How frustrating...

Actually, I already had a loop for a similar task in the full function, so it only adds 4-5

Would it work if you changed the order and changed to z at the end?

Actually, it might even be shorter...

I'm not sure what you mean; can you please rephrase?

Once you've joined, you can change a single character without it changing in all of them

Ah

Oh no - you said you can't change it in a string

No, it's very hard :(

Takes like 20 chars

You could slice it, but not without adding characters

@MartinBüttner Maybe... And if I find one, maybe I should negotiate a more detailed explanation for how I got it in exchange for a bigger bounty...

@tricho I think the current fix fits in well with my current solution, actually.

@ETHproductions Great. I assume the newlines are just for clarity until you finalise the golfing...?

Yep :)

:)

And that final two semicolons - that's very rule abiding for a golf...

I know, I separated it into lines in case the auto-checker could see what was the problem

I do that :) It's about the only reason I add semicolons to JavaScript...

Yeah, same here :)

Except when I'm doing "serious work" with it

The most serious work I've done with it is trying to write a Stack Snippets KotH

Oh gosh, I've actually got this thing working :D

:)

Has anyone on Ice Road Truckers actually gone through the ice?

I've never seen it :P

I've been looking at languages starting with 1 in an effort to complete the digits for the HW challenge... 1+, 123, 1337, and 1L all look very interesting (i.e. non-trivial) for this task. although I think 123 will be the one with the most obvious optimal solution

posted 123

@trichoplax: Here's what I needed that for: codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/55648/42545

@PeterTaylor How does 500 sound? :)

@ETHproductions Hmmm. A downvote with no comment. That must be depressing... +1 anyway. I never expect golf answers to be "finished" - they always seem to keep shrinking for some time after posting...
