Q: Name large numbers using concatenation of Latin roots for its units, tens, and hundreds place, together with the suffix -illion

The title might make it seem more complex but I could not find a more suitable one. 'Naming large numbers' is way too simple. Coming to the actual code challenge: The Challenge You must write a program (excluding the method in which it is to be executed) which will input an integer in scientifi...

@Lembik In any case, the screenshot in the answer makes no sense at all. Should be a GIF if anything

@mınxomaτ right and this youtube video! youtube.com/watch?v=PWf4aKW3UhI&feature=youtu.be

@Rainbolt I don't know why but you and Doorknob seem like the same people to me :P

Lembik

I can't see a moving pixel there either

I feel it might be a joke :)

Alex A.

@BetaDecay ...?

quartata

@NewMainPosts @MartinBüttner fastest dupe in the west

Lembik

oh wait

quartata

@BetaDecay I can assure you they aren't.

@Lembik The video shows the moving pixel perfectly. Adjust your monitor brightness

Lembik

I saw it!

quartata

Alex doesn't like NetHack for one thing

Martin Büttner

@quartata I had looked for that one just a week ago or so when someone posted almost the same thing in the sandbox.

mınxomaτ

@Lembik I ran it on my W95 VM in DOS mode and it works as expected.

Lembik

@mınxomaτ hmm... maybe it's just the linux qb64 that doesn't work

Alex A.

8:03 PM

@quartata How is that statement relevant to anything right now? Also I never said I don't like Nethack, I just don't understand it.

Lembik

anyone brave enough to run QBASIC code in QB64 on linux?

quartata

Well I mean it's pretty difficult to have one sock obsessed with NetHack and one not obsessed. (This was in reply to Beta saying you seemed like the same person as Doorknob)

mınxomaτ

@Lembik One shouldn't use qb64 to run QBASIC. Use qemu + freedos or DOSBox

Lembik

@mınxomaτ interesting.. I was just following the author's suggestion

Alex A.

Why don't either of you use the reply button

quartata

8:06 PM

@MartinBüttner Penny for your thoughts on meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/7332/45151 ? You seem to be the person who is good at keeping track of this catalog stuff

Alex A.

@quartata He said that to Rainbolt, not me

what reply button

Rainbolt

Quartata thinks Beta Decay said Alex and Doorknob were the same person. How confusing...

quartata

@AlexA. oh

Alex A.

@Mego ಠ_ಠ

quartata

8:06 PM

Now I'm really confused

Martin Büttner

@quartata All I know right now is that we have at least 4 catalogues in the sandbox now.

Alex A.

catalog ue s :P

Rainbolt

@quartata Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.

Truth Machine Catalog A truth machine (credits goes to dis guy for coming up with it) is a very simple program designed to demonstrate the I/O and control flow of a language. Here's what a truth machine does: Gets a number (either 0 or 1) from STDIN. If that number is 0, print out 0 and termin...

Haha we actually do

Q: Does PPCG fulfil a role as a catalogue for golfed solution of standard programming exercises?

Rosetta Code collects solutions to standard programming exercises in hundreds of programming languages. However, it focuses on "good" or idiomatic solutions in those languages. I'm not aware of a similar catalogue from a golfing perspective. Is PPCG capable of fulfilling that role? Do we have cha...

@feersum yeah, I actually thought that's what it is when writing it, but I figured it would be too ridiculous to actually write that anywhere :P

feersum

@SuperJedi224 In this room.

Alex A.

I see what you did there

Rainbolt

If every Stack Exchange site had a catalog catalog like we do, then could we make a catalog catalog catalog?

@MartinBüttner It'll probably be a while before sorting is ready for main, if it ever is.

@PeterTaylor I assume that no close votes have been cast on the old Huffman question yet because it's still being discussed.

I love that QBASIC is winning

Yay

Alex A.

@SuperJedi224 Was it Martin and me?

and I also love PPCG.. it's a great community

unlike some other *.se sites :)

Alex A.

@Lembik PPCG loves you too.

@MartinBüttner It was not sarcastic. I really did mean it.

Martin Büttner

@El'endiaStarman Okay, I was hoping so, but it's hard to tell with short comments sometimes. ;)

@AlexA. :)

except for when I pose questions about binary vectors/matrices :)

Alex A.

I'm honestly quite confused as to why this meta post was downvoted. It doesn't actually matter at all, I just don't understand the reasoning.

@Lembik I may be able to win in TI-BASIC; the problem is I don't have a color TI-84

quartata

@ThomasKwa You don't?

@quartata I recommend Field Roast apple sage if you can find it near you. A carnivorous friend of mine actually loves them.

I'm vegetarian, close to being vegan (but that's difficult).

Thomas Kwa

@quartata actually, do you want to post a TI-BASIC answer?

quartata

@ThomasKwa No I'm terrible at TI-BASIC

Alex A.

@Zgarb I'm vegan. Been so for about 6 years.

Thomas Kwa

8:22 PM

@Lembik It's technically illegal to use an emulator for a calculator you don't own

quartata

@Lembik Yeah it's pretty shady legal-wise

@quartata orly?

@AlexA. so no milk?

I've avoided all BASIC like the plague as long as I've known of its existence.

Occasionally because the computer in question could only be programmed in it
