Q: Alex-style Addition

quartataInspired by Alex's glorious Learn you an R for great good, we are going to humbly recreate Alex's "one true R program" -- but with a twist. Alex-style Addition works like this -- it has a 90% chance of simply returning the sum of the two numbers given and a 10% chance of recursively Alex-adding ...

Morgan ThrappTaxi some numbers to me. code-golf Taxicab Numbers are numbers that are able to be represented as n different sums of positive cubed integers. Only 6 taxicab numbers have been discovered so far, so you're going to have to print all of them. The numbers are 2, 1729, 87539319, 6963472309248, 489...

Q: Singly lossy integers: Concatenated sequences missing a single element

mbomb007I define the method of combining a sequence to mean that every number in the sequence is concatenated as a string, then that result is made an integer. [1, 2, 3] -> 123 For every finite sequence of at least 3 consecutive integers, missing exactly one element in the sequence, and this missing e...

Q: Implement branchless binary search

Michael KleinChallenge Implement binary search on a list of length 256 with no branches. Rules Branches include: if/then, switch, case, for, while, ?:, guards, and all other branches Entry may be a function or full program Input is a list-like object, so space/newline/comma separated string, list, vector,...

Chat poll: I have a function, say f, that can take one, two or three inputs, which are either numbers or arbitrarily nested lists of numbers. f(a) gives the prefixes of list a (numbers are converted to ranges). f(a, b) gives the length-b substrings of a. What should f(a, b, c) give?

@Zgarb I would do either length-b or length-c substrings, or perhaps substrings common to a and c.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Hmm, there's a possibility: substrings of length between b and c.

^ that too! I like that better actually.

@Zgarb All possible combinations of length-b substrings with c characters removed.
That would be useful for the Singly Lossy Integers challenge I posted.
Maybe...
If instead of characters it was lists.

@mbomb007 That would be useful too, but not as natural, I think...
