Write a script that writes to standard output, or your language's equivalent, 100 lines of (valid) Java code that beginning with:
class Tuple1 {public Object _0;}
class Tuple2 {public Object _0,_1;}
class Tuple3 {public Object _0,_1,_2;}
class Tuple4 {public Object _0,_1,_2,_3;}

Tips for golfing in Subleq
Subleq is a programming language with only one instruction. Each instruction contains 3 parameters. Code and data space is tne same. How it works:
A B C
A, B and C are signed ints. Instructions are executed in the next way:
*B = *B - *A
if(*B <= 0) goto C;
One po...

Finally the movie company is financing your film. They have given you a maximum budget and they also set the running time of your movie.
Now you can start with the pre-production. You have a bunch of scenes already planned, but not all of them will fit into the budget and the film ...
Your boss wants you to write code like this:
public static boolean isPowerOfTen(long input) {
return
input == 1L
|| input == 10L
|| input == 100L
|| input == 1000L
|| input == 10000L
|| input == 100000L
|| input == 1000000L
|| input == 10000000L
|| input == 100000000L

There seems to be agreement that numeric input is by default accepted in arbitrary bases (not necessarily decimal), such as unary.
The linked meta-question doesn't address the issue of whether separate inputs of the same program can use different bases. For example, consider a program or functio...
Jelly is a tacit, golf-oriented programming language by our very own Dennis. It’s popping up in answers here more and more often, beating other golf-y languages like Pyth and CJam, both by using its own code page and its powerful chain system to succinctly express programs.
Let’s collect some us...
Long ago, this challenge was posted, with the restriction that no numbers may be used in the source code.
Recently, another challenge was posted, this time without any restrictions on the source code.
Both challenges have the same theme - the look and say numbers. However, the original challeng...
Efficient Scientific Notation
code-golf math string
The other day my chemistry teacher was explaining to us about scientific notation (using a small number and multiplying it by powers of ten to express large numbers more easily), which brought me back a few years to when I first learnt it. A...
Introduction
Here in Germany the ruling on work times is very strict. If you work 6 or more hours a day, you have to take at least a 30 minute break. If you work 9 or more hours, you need to take a 45 minute break. If you work less than 6 hours, you don't have to take any breaks.
Of course you ...
In this challenge, the goal is to recreate the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences one sequence at a time. Similar to the Evolution of Hello World, each answer depends on a previous answer.
Over time, this challenge will create a "family tree" of the OEIS sequences. It is simple to add o...
