CMC: Given a list that is guaranteed to contain primes, extract the primes.

[2,3,4,4,5,5,9,7] -> [2,3,5,5,7]

Mayube

in anime, numbered ranking systems from 1-5 are pretty popular, and these almost always result in the plot leading to some never-before-seen "level 6"

Mr. Xcoder

I can abuse the fact that it is guaranteed to contain primes ¯\_[:-)]_/¯

ASCII-only

@dzaima :| is this sogl's secret

what kind of compression algo do you use O_o

dzaima

11:03 AM

@ASCII-only SOGL has 2 different compressors (one of which is public (and not the ode used there))

ASCII-only

what's the difference

dzaima

@ASCII-only one is a custom mixed base compressor which has english, ascii, char custom dictionary, boxstring (dictionary of any of `-_ ŗ\n/`) and the other is a simple substitution thing (the one used here and the one with an unpublished compressor)

ASCII-only

@dzaima substitution is golfier? O_o

Adám

@SEJPM Ah, a = b, b = c, a ≠ c.

dzaima

@ASCII-only the problem with the other one is that is has no unicode stuff because I'm lazy to make that and I'm too lazy to do replaces

ASCII-only

Adám

11:10 AM

E.g. APL: a b c←1(+,⊣,-)⎕CT

dzaima

@ASCII-only also a problem with the mixed base one is that it sucks at repetitive stuff (which substitutions are made for)

Mayube

@Adám This would work in C#, except you can't boolean compare 2 methods :(

static Func<int> a() {return b;}
static int b() {return 7;}
static int c() {return 7;}

a() == b, b() == c(), a != b

oh the same approach works in python though Try it online!

dzaima

ASCII-only

@Mayube *a != c()

Mayube

ASCII-only

Mayube

oh right I typod

ASCII-only

you have b in one and b() in the other

Mayube

too late to edit

Adám

@Uriel Huh, how does that work?

Mayube

11:18 AM

a() == b, b() == c(), a != c

Cows quack

~~or a=0;b=false;c="";~~

Uriel

@Adám apparentaly []!=[] (but []==0).

@TheLethalCoder it should work because of this line: github.com/kritixilithos/Carrot/blob/gh-pages/script.js#L379. But in the newer interpreter, you will be able to take input in whatever type you want, because the input is also tokenised by the same lexer as the program's lexer

a string input is taken like "string here" instead of just string here
