Erik the Outgolfer

@HyperNeutrino wait

HyperNeutrino

mhm?

Erik the Outgolfer

so X, Y -> sorted((X, Y)) is invalid?

HyperNeutrino

well sorted((X, Y)) isn't an integer...

Erik the Outgolfer

where does it say it has to be an integer?

HyperNeutrino

12:18 PM

sorry no not integer

Erik the Outgolfer

well you should add that to the challenge body

HyperNeutrino

sorted((X, Y)) doesn't belong to the same infinite set as X or Y

Erik the Outgolfer

what if we choose the infinite set of multisets?

then X and Y can be multisets

and Z can also be a multiset

of course Z is unordered here

HyperNeutrino

yes

huh

Erik the Outgolfer

so a simple identity function would serve

HyperNeutrino

12:20 PM

um

how about an infinite set of orderable items

Erik the Outgolfer

ordered multisets?

HyperNeutrino

sigh

Erik the Outgolfer

the identity function will keep their order

HyperNeutrino

but the identity function is f: S -> S, you need f: S, S -> S

Erik the Outgolfer

e.g. jelly, 0 bytes

HyperNeutrino

12:21 PM

also it has to be commutative

Erik the Outgolfer

@HyperNeutrino well

@HyperNeutrino solved with a simple sort

HyperNeutrino

or do you mean f(x, y) = f(sorted((x, y)))

Erik the Outgolfer

first function:

f(x, y) -> sorted((x, y))

second function

f(x) -> x

and x and y are in the same domain as sorted((x, y))

overall that's 2 bytes in jelly (1 byte if we use consensus that you're allowed to get two arguments in the form of an array)

HyperNeutrino

well

rip

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah better restrict to integers or something that is not a collection

HyperNeutrino

12:25 PM

how about any countable infinite subset of the real numbers

Erik the Outgolfer

hmm, but better restrict to real numbers

since I don't know if complex numbers can't be used as collections

e.g. f(complex x, complex y) -> x + y * i...wait

Mr. Xcoder

is this how they are supposed to look?

Mr. Xcoder

Yes, unicode-art

HyperNeutrino

is there a suitable tag for that

Mr. Xcoder

No.

Erik the Outgolfer

12:31 PM

@HyperNeutrino for the other challenge

HyperNeutrino

rip

Erik the Outgolfer

let's restrict to an infinite set of numbers (just confirmed complex numbers can't be used as collections)

Mr. Xcoder

string is the only one.

HyperNeutrino

ok

^^^ sure. I'm going to say countable infinite set

Erik the Outgolfer

so the set of integers (including negatives) isn't countable?

HyperNeutrino

12:32 PM

it is

0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, ...

Erik the Outgolfer

hmm...

Mr. Xcoder

huh?

Erik the Outgolfer

that way you can also count collections

HyperNeutrino

some, yes

Erik the Outgolfer

let's consider a set X of multisets of two integers and X

then we count

HyperNeutrino

12:34 PM

huh?

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Is this how you usually write it in English speaking countries: Given an value in S?

Erik the Outgolfer

{{0 0} {0 1} {1 0} {1 1} {0 -1} {-1 0} {-1 -1} {0 2} {1 2} {2 0} {2 1} {2 2} {0 -2} ...}

except that this way we'll never get to any X

Potato44

@Mr.Xcoder I think it is normally "Given a value in S"

Mr. Xcoder

@Potato44 That's what I think too

HyperNeutrino

there should be an art tag as I usually look up ascii-art when I feel like doing some older challenges, and unicode challenges get left out from that

HyperNeutrino

@AdmBorkBork bold and three-armed components are weird

AdmBorkBork

Ah, gotcha. That's a shame.

HyperNeutrino

it might work better with double lines rather than bold but I am not spending another half-hour copying box-drawing characters ("EDIT" (EDIT: I never edited the first edit in): that's pretty much what I'm about to do for a new language idea (inspired by Funciton ofc :P))

@AdmBorkBork any more suggestions? I have the question in the Ask Question box already and I just need to hit that button :P

AdmBorkBork

I don't think you need your note about copy-paste, and I think your bullet points can be summarized as "Any previously-drawn characters enclosed in the newly-drawn rectangle"

HyperNeutrino

1:51 PM

so you think that's well-specified enough?

dzaima

For this challenge, you are required to have (0, 0) in the top-left corner and then later you mention that it can be (1, 1), (1, 0) or (0, 1). Just a bit misleading

HyperNeutrino

huh will modify, thanks

AdmBorkBork

I think your "leftwards facing ..." is convoluted. I get what you mean, but I think it's easier to just say any previous characters.

HyperNeutrino

alright, how is it now?

AdmBorkBork

Looks good to me, but don't forget your ascii-art tag.

4:27 PM

@BetaDecay I would have commented, but the chain is getting really long.

How does 4 give 6?

I can only think of 4 of them: [1, 2, 12, 21]

Beta Decay

@DJMcMayhem I'm not sure. I just used the Mathematica code given in the first answer

DJMcMayhem

Are you sure that that answer is correct?

Cause the results don't seem to make sense

6 should have significantly more LB numbers since it has more divisors than 5

Beta Decay

I have no idea. I think they've only checked it against base 2 and base 10

DJMcMayhem

But they both give 10

I believe RṖŒPŒ!€ḍ⁸Ȧ€S should work for inputs < 10, but it doesn't match any of the test cases

Beta Decay

Is the base taken as an argument in that code?

DJMcMayhem

4:35 PM

Yeah

But I'm not 100% sure it's correct

But each test case I've tried seems to make sense

Dennis

@DJMcMayhem Manually, I get the solution [1, 2, 3, 12, 132, 312].

DJMcMayhem

But 4 is not divisible by 3

....

>_> I'm completely misunderstanding the task

Dennis

The number itself has to be divisible by the digits, not the base.

DJMcMayhem

I'm not even remotely close

Mayube

ugh now bochs won't run my code >.> I'm probably missing something stupid again

That's not combinations. Combinations have no order.

DJMcMayhem

Well then what would you call it when order does matter?

El'endia Starman

Permutations.

Leaky Nun

permutations.

DJMcMayhem

But permutations only includes lists of the same length

So I guess I want all permutations of all sublists

Dennis

@DJMcMayhem k-permutations or variations.

For [1, 2, 3], this won't generate [1, 3] or [3, 1].

even not compressing it is shorter rip

in fact right now my Jelly answer is longer than all others, and not by a close number either :P

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino of course miles and his forks outgolf you :P

HyperNeutrino

yes ._.

V beats Jelly by 5 bytes :D

@FunkyComputerMan Like, for real?

@quartata Yeah, I did the lab in Brain-Flak and when they saw my code they asked me to do it again in python.

@FunkyComputerMan Hahahahaha oh man, that totally made my day

Do you have the code from that still?

HyperNeutrino

I wish they let us use Python in my CS course; my "CS" course is just programming basics for Java which I learned like 3 years ago rip

Funky Computer Man

@DJMcMayhem Yep I can link it when I find it

The lab had two parts and asked students to implement 2 different algorithms for calculating fibonacci numbers

You should do the next one in JSFuck and be like "What? It's in JavaScript!"

@AdmBorkBork I'm almost done with a Brain-Flak to Haskell compiler. When its done I can do all my labs in Brain-Flak and submit them in Haskell

@FunkyComputerMan You amuse me

@FunkyComputerMan Well conor had a brain-flak to C one IIRC :P

I'm sure you can just do basically what Conor did for haskell :P

Funky Computer Man

@ASCII-only My new compiler will be way faster. Once it is done it should be the absolute fastest way to run Brain-Flak out there. At least until someone makes something faster :P

ASCII-only

@FunkyComputerMan Faster than BrainHack?

Funky Computer Man

@ASCII-only Conor's current compiler and Craneflak are both already faster than BrainHack. The end result should be faster than either.

DJMcMayhem

@FunkyComputerMan Interesting. What techniques does it use that will make it so fast? Does it do things like simplifying recognized snippets?
