Challenge
Given a number N>0, output the largest integer a^b that is smaller or equal to N, and the smallest integer c^d that is greater or equal to N, where b>1 and d>1.
Output should be a list of two integers, the first being s...
Positions on the Pickleball Court
My doubles pickleball group often has five people. Four are playing and one is awaiting the next game. We can represent the state of the game with a string of five characters like abCde. This indicates that a and b are playing against c and d with c serving. ...
CMC: Simulate Fae Farm flower breeding. Given six strings A, B, C, D, E, F, output one of A and D, one of B and C, and one of E and F. Input may be as a 2×3 array. Alternatively, given six strings A, B, C, D, E, F, output one of A and B, one of C and E, and one of D and F. Input may be as a 3×2 array.
Find the fairest partition of a list
Given a list of positive integers, partition the list into two parts such that the difference of the sums over the two parts is minimal.
The output of the program should be the difference of the sums.
Examples:
[1,2,3] -> 0 # [1,2], [3]
[2,3,5,7,11] ->...
Hello everyone, I had an idea for a challenge and saw that there's a similar challenge already, this one: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/198550/… . My idea was slightly different, I'll give you a word ("VICTORY"), a scrambled version of it ("VICYTRO") and would want the challengers to return how many intersections the scrambled word has if the letters were arranged in a circle (2 intersections in this example, see imgur.com/a/fEAqaEy).
Do you guys consider this similar enough to be considered a duplicate? I don't want to waste time using the sandbox just to be considered one
Intersections in a Circular Scrambled Word
Given a word W and a scrambled version of it S as input, you are required to return the number of intersections S will have when organized in a circular arrangement.
Example
Let W be VICTORY and S be VICYTRO. After transforming the scrambled word in its ...
