The Nineteenth Byte

the reason ʰ is so worthwhile is that the only two ways to pass something "multiple arguments" are through lists or subscripts (or both in the case of ₍/₎)

We've got a newish user writing answers in Java. I think @RedwolfPrograms and @Razetime have both commented on this

anybody have any insight on what the rules are for Java submissions? Pretty clear that as it is now it's a snippet, but I'm not entirely sure on how to best (most golfily) fix it.

Q: I have implemented graph algorithm for adjacency matrix and adjacency list. Help me finish this

This program do the following. printf("1. Create Adjacency Matrix\n"); printf("2. Print Adjacency Matrix\n"); printf("3. Create Adjacency List\n"); printf("4. Print Adjacency List\n"); printf("5. Convert Adjacency Matrix to Adjacency List\n"); printf("

I suggested on a different answer of theirs to use lambda functions as that seems to be the most widely used for Java answers (although I don't know much Java)

I'd expect the rules would be similar to those in JS/Python, and snippets typically aren't allowed there (while lambdas are).

December is three hours away in UTC, this year has gone quick...

@RedwolfPrograms I'm living in the future. December is now for me

And it has been December for 8 hours now

Redwolf Programs

I've got 9 hours to go in my time zone :(

You still get some shielding from non-stop repetition of carols at supermarkets

7 hours and 39 minutes until AOC starts

caird coinheringaahing

@Lyxal What's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez starting? :P

@Lyxal Wait, that starts on Dec 1st for you? We've had All I want for Christmas is you playing for a couple of weeks here

@cairdcoinheringaahing well we don't know yet. Hopefully there's no intcode involved ;p

@cairdcoinheringaahing this year we've been lucky

Say what you will about Thanksgiving in the US, but at least it holds the line until December

Lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing I haven't really the foggiest about thanksgiving other than people eat turkey

That's how much attention we pay to it in Australia

Unrelated String

@Lyxal neither do we

@Lyxal oh shit let's go

caird coinheringaahing

@Lyxal Long story short, Americans celebrate the last nice thing that happened between the settlers and the natives before all the genocide starts

@RedwolfPrograms I try to take the most cynical takes I can on a lot of american things :P

To be fair at the time it would have been a British thing

@RedwolfPrograms Yeah, but in the grand scheme of all our genocide, it doesn't stand out above the rest

@RedwolfPrograms well that depends on who you ask

And last year, I would have said AOC was "an excuse to force a new esolang based on numbers upon people"

Redwolf Programs

To be fair the Articles of Confederation probably isn't what you're thinking

It has nothing to do with the Confederate States of America

@Lyxal tenth day was my best performance, on both stars

@RedwolfPrograms "Confederation" + "America" = "CSA" is my default

@RedwolfPrograms perhaps you missed the "Intcode is an esoteric programming language created purely to annoy programmers competing in the Advent of Code 2019" part

That's the best part to me

and placed on the global leaderboard 5 times for a score of 170

wait by 15 i meant 17

it's funny that i never completed 17 2 when i was one of the first 100 to do 17 1

Lyxal

I wonder what the storyline will be this year?

@UnrelatedString laughs and cries in "never got on the leaderboard"
