JavaScript has a built-in sort() function, you can use it like this:
var numbers = [6, 2.7, 8];
numbers.sort();
// => [2.7, 6, 8]
...oh, totally forgot to mention, it sorts in lexicographic order, i.e. 10 < 9 and 9 < -100. Probably that's what you expect anyway.
An easy one, 68 seconds. A difficult one, 30 minutes. An insanely hard one, 4 days. One that was discussed in the presence of Dennis before it was posted, 2 seconds.
Weekly Physics Golf #1: Wavelength of a Sound Wave code-golfmath
Introduction to the Series
Every week I will be posting a physics challenge. My goal here is to design challenges that in the end, teach some people some physics. Overall, the challenges will be very basic with little information....
i feel bad about my wolf because i independently came up with the idea but it turned out someone had already proposed it. with the same name, which i also independently came up with
i didn't steal it but it looked a lot like i stole it

Start a function fib with n.

If n < 2...
Return n.
Breathe.
Backtracking.
Here:
Literally, fib(n-2) + fib(n-1).
Breathe.
I'm done.
Listen.
Breathe.
Invoke fib with number.
That's it.
@Lynn Given that if anyone was being hateful then the mods would just chat suspend them, so I think the worst response you'd get would be indifference. :P
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I feel a bit mixed about nonstandard pronouns. They stick out like a sore thumb to me, but then again, I've never met anyone who uses them. As a neutral alternative, I feel like "they" does a great job!
I have a friend who falls out the gender binary and prefers "they", and it feels completely natural to me, whereas that's already weird for some people
I'd like English usage to get to a point where using "he" or "she" in a sentence that isn't about gender sounds as unnecessary as using "blond" in a sentence that isn't about hair colour or "octogenarian" in a sentence that isn't about age.

I believe that this is "optimal"... takes a deep breath here we go!

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That's fine - when gender/hair colour/age is relevant, it gets mentioned explicitly, rather than being implicitly included in every sentence, giving the impression that it is somehow always relevant.
To me that seems reason enough not to use that website, but if you want to read their content, you can use Firefox with no ad blocker, and then press the reading icon in the address bar, which just presents the text without any of the page formating. It happens to not show any adverts either. Also good for sites that play audible adverts - they also stop once you are in reading mode.
@trichoplax Still, if someone repcapped 50 days in a row, I'd probably see them around. I may live under the rock, but the rock is of sufficiently small magnitude that I can see out from under it sometimes.
@Geobits I'm no longer using my OnePlus One, so I unfroze the system upgrades which I had turned off, just to discover that my custom recovery (TWRP) would let me install the next OTA update, but not the one after that. So I flashed the latest stock ROM, and the device no longer recognized my SIM card. Now I flashed a backup from the last working version (before today's disaster), and it ain't booting up...
It's too bad you have to be psychotic to actually want the job. I know lots of people that would do a good job, but good luck convincing any sane person they should run.
I'm thinking a mandatory lottery system would probably work out better than anyone expects.
Apologies for being on topic, but I finally got round to putting into words why the popularity contest tag seems to cover two different challenge types:
Should the tag be split?
I think it's clear that the majority want to see popularity contests continue, but also the majority find problems with most challenges that are posted with this tag.
Is part of the problem that the tag is used for more than one thing?
There seem to be at least two dif...
