Convert integer to IEEE 754 float The task is simple, given a 32 bit integer, convert it to its floating point value as defined by the IEEE 754 (32-bit) standard. IEEE 754 Here is a converter for your reference. Here is how the format looks: The standard is similar to scientific notation. The si...

feedback?

@PyGamer0 first time actually reading it, im not sure what the red and green sections actually represent in terms of like... how do those values give the number on the right of the diagram?

i explained it below the diagram

then i request it be used as a worked out example :P

also "convert it to its floating point value" seems like not the correct wording, otherwise input should equal output, right?

or is it like

input -> binary string -> floating point

right ok so i guess in general i feel like, a worked out example would make it feel less daunting

it would verify what i think i understand and clarify what i dont, and sort of allow me to convince myself i understood what i needed to do :-)

ok i will add a worked out example later :-)

thank you ^_^

i guess my only other thing is "should it just be binary string input" but idk

not sure if it A) changes the challenge much B) makes it better or worse or not

no it will be given as an integer.....

right no that is clear

its just a lingering question in my mind whether it should be that way

but i dont have an answer so it doesnt matter unless someone else says something too xd

now you can have two 500 bounties out at once

CMC What does this regex match? []{}()[] (python)

i just found something in C

1 day to slack day!

@mousetail I honestly don't understand regex :(

Adám

@mousetail Don't know Python regex, but in PCRE, my guess is the empty string.

@DialFrost Try it, the results will suprise you

@Adám Nope

Adám

No, wait, any character in ]{}()[

Unrelated String

6:33 AM

i'm inclined to say it matches nothing but maybe [] is a corner case oh or yeah that

Exactly

A [] block can't be empty so it matches a literal ] character

Adám

If you want ] in a character class, it has to be first, which means the class continues until the final ]

@RadvylfPrograms What post would you like an upvote on?

Also, @lyxal, same question :P Didn't end up using any of yours, but they were so good, I have to reward the effort :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing this one

thank you :p

Don't take that upvote as my approval of Vyxal as a fizzbuzz specific lang :P

There's some questionable builtins there :P

5 bytes with extremely questionable builtins. also the 11-byter can be 10 with H flag — Steffan Jun 3 at 17:46

Vyxal has builtins for both fizz, buzz and fizzbuzz but uses only the last in the answer

Please explain

@cairdcoinheringaahing can't take this phrase seriously due to how an Australian politician said it once in an interview :p

@lyxal It would be most kind of you to provide a comprehensive breakdown of the functionality of this implausibly short program

Or, "What do?"

18 surprising bytes you need for FizzBuzz (number 5 will shock you senseless)

that shows the progression to 18 bytes

but for the 11 byter: ₁ƛ - map over range [1, 100], ₍₃₅ - the list [n % 3 == 0, n % 5 == 0] (the ₍ is parallel apply into a list - it takes the next two elements and applies them to the same stack), kF½ - the string "FizzBuzz" split into two halves , *∑ - multiply the string list by the divisible list and sum the result into a single string, and ∴ is dyadic maximum

I was more asking about the 5 byter
