There are important differences between Python 2 and 3, so it's often useful to know which version of the interpreter is running your code. The straightforward method is something like this:
def get_python_version():
import sys
return sys.version_info.major
But you can exploit other di...
Inspired by this question on SO, your task is to produce a program that is valid in (at least) two major versions of your chosen language that produce different output.
Rules
Any language that has more than one major version can be used.
For the purposes of this challenge, I would suggest a "...
Write a program that:
if a compiled language is used, compiles without errors
if an interpreted language is used, runs without syntax errors
for every major release of your language, and produces different output for every major release under which it is compiled/run. (It may produce the same...
I'm wondering if there should be a tag for questions that compile a list of best score by language.
A recent example is this question. Questions similar to this have a snippet the keeps a list of the shortest solution by programming language.
I think it'd be useful to have such a tag, in order ...
in Javascript (any version) can you make this shorter?
var out = '':
if(y>0){
out='Y';
}else if(y<0){
out='^';
}
if(x>0){
out+='>';
}else if(x<0){
out+='<';
}
console.log(out)
Explanation:
x and y are given numbers representing a vector
output is a console.log of string with one or two ...

Zero-length answers
Considering an empty program a quine was original in the 1994 IOCCC.
Over two decades later, if you can answer a question with an empty program and that question is scored by length (e.g., code-golf) and is tagged as quine, source-layout or restricted-source, just notify th...
MetaGolfScript and Co.
I would go through them one by one if I could, but I can't :P.
It's great for lolz, but ruins the fun when implemented in code-golf challenges. (I mean, who wants zero-byte answers anyway?)
