@Sp3000 Does it have to be floating point?

Sp3000

Easier :/

Maybe there's a way to keep it in integers

Haven't thought too hard about it though, got other stuff to do

Leaky Nun

It is guaranteed to be an integer

so you can just multiply the factorial instead?

Leaky Nun

Beautiful. I'm writing it as well.

Sp3000

(The number of times I wished Python had a binomial coefficient function...)

Leaky Nun

Why is it needed?

Sp3000

F[i+j]//F[j]//F[i] (F is factorial here)

Leaky Nun

5:42 AM

But why is it needed?

Sp3000

Because it's an egf rather than a regular gf, which is why I said it's like polynomial division but "you need to watch the factorials"

Leaky Nun

So it is not related to n choose k?

feersum

why are you guys calling them generating functions rather than power series?

Leaky Nun

because that's how I termed it

Sp3000

Because that's the term Kenny's using in the question

feersum

5:45 AM

@LeakyNun Begging the question...

Leaky Nun

@feersum Because I didn't know such a term exists.

Plus, power series is too general

feersum

I would have termed it inverting a formal power series, except for the random factorial scaling on the coefficients.

Leaky Nun

It is not a random factorial scaling.

mathworld.wolfram.com/ExponentialGeneratingFunction.html

feersum

@LeakyNun Can you explain why not?

Leaky Nun

Because each term does have a factorial.

feersum

5:49 AM

I am asking why it is less arbitrary than saying, e.g. that all the inputs must be divided by 3.

Leaky Nun

Because each term does have a factorial. When you make the taylor series, you divide each term by the factorial

Quill

yo @Upgoat, you around?

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@Quill I'd ask the same question. :/

feersum

@LeakyNun But the strange part is how it is combined with the term generating function which is associated with combinatorics.

Leaky Nun

@feersum This you should ask mathematica.

feersum

5:55 AM

Factorial scaling might be convenient when you are analyzing real or complex functions but why would you want it in combinatorics?

Leaky Nun

My challenge is not related to combinatorics at all.

feersum

But it uses the term "generating function" which is a combinatorics term.

Leaky Nun

@feersum Could you tell me how generating function is in combinatorics?

@Sp3000 Why does this not work? ideone.com/009OMG

I scaled up each term by a factorial

orlp

@feersum I don't believe that's correct?

Leaky Nun

Power series

In mathematics, a power series (in one variable) is an infinite series of the form ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − c ) n = a 0 + a 1 ...

feersum

5:59 AM

Example: If you wanted to know how many ordered partitions of 100 into pieces of size 2, 7, or 19 there are, you could check the coefficient of x^100 in (x^2 + x^7 + x^19)^999.

Leaky Nun

> These power series arise primarily in analysis, but also occur in combinatorics (as generating functions, a kind of formal power series) and in electrical engineering (under the name of the Z-transform).

@feersum Oh, nice.

@feersum Is the 999 arbitrary?

Sp3000

@LeakyNun Er... L doesn't need to be scaled up...

Leaky Nun

Why not?

feersum

@LeakyNun Yes, it just needs to be at least 50 (100 / 2).

Sp3000

But I do agree with feersum that I've rarely heard of "generating functions" outside of combinatorics

Leaky Nun

6:01 AM

Should I change my question then?

feersum

Well, if it's going to have the factorial scaling, maybe there's no point in changing it.

wizzwizz4

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 I'm here now! :-)

Leaky Nun

@feersum I mean, just s/generating function/power series/

feersum

@LeakyNun I know.

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@wizzwizz4 :D

Leaky Nun

6:03 AM

@feersum Oh, I think I know why I used the term generating function

It's because OEIS uses it a lot.

Especially Exponential Generating Function

they just write G.f. and E.g.f.

feersum

Yes, since OEIS is heavily combinatorics-focused.

Leaky Nun

But they write g.f. even for non-combinatorics content, I believe?

feersum

Eh, you could call almost anything with integer series combinatorics; it's a sufficiently broad and vague term...

Leaky Nun

Alright.

@Sp3000 Alright, I really need to write it out.

Sp3000

What I had before was just ordinary polynomial division, but I scaled the coefficients down by a factorial before starting because the input's coefficients are scaled

Leaky Nun

6:12 AM

What's the difference between scaling down the coefficients and scaling up the coefficients?

Sp3000

Oh, er... in this context I just mean dividing/multiplying by the appropriate factorial for that index

Leaky Nun

Yes, I understand, but why does mine not work?

feersum

I wonder if the trick I used for polynomial multiplication here would also work for division.

Leaky Nun

I thought about it too

@flawr She had a typical sleep cycle of 12 AM to 9 AM, and my typical sleep cycle was 3 AM to 12 PM, but now that I'm staying in the same house (for the time being), my sleep cycle has largely shifted to match hers.

@Bálint browser cache, it's normal to retain the content of the box

Bálint

I already cleared my browser history

Bourbon whiskey

Bourbon whiskey /bɜːrbən/ is a type of American whiskey: a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn. The name is ultimately derived from the French Bourbon dynasty, although it is disputed whether Bourbon County in Kentucky or Bourbon Street in New Orleans inspired the whiskey's name. Bourbon has been distilled since the 18th century. The use of the term "bourbon" for the whiskey has been traced to the 1820s, and the term began to be used consistently in Kentucky in the 1870s. While bourbon may be made anywhere in the United States, it is strongly associated with the American South...

@MartinEnder No, other inout boxes work as expected

TimmyD

> The state has more than 5.3 million barrels of bourbon that are aging – a number that exceeds the state population.

There has been a large Table-Bruteforce-Attack. Unsuccessful, but better be safe.

@mınxomaτ You had donald duck? I thought you had some orange abstract thing?

mınxomaτ

No so abstract IMO.

TimmyD

TIL - Donald Duck is abstract and orange.

flawr

@mınxomaτ It definitely is orange, but I did actually have a different one in mind.

Sorry =)

Is it really true, that we haven't had a code-golf challenge to simply golf the euler totient function?
