@LeakyNun How are you going to do this in 9 bytes? There can't possibly be any formula for this...

Leaky Nun

@R.Kap jelly.tryitonline.net/…

R. Kap

@LeakyNun Not correct for the test case [60, -210, -60, 180, 400, -400], [250, -150].

Output should be 11, not 15.

Leaky Nun

@R.Kap is 300x200 same as 200x300?

@Dennis I can't seem to get output when using a negative arg for range, ie -1R doesn't give [-1, 0, 1]

Doorknob

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan I suppose you should add two bytes instead of one because of the space before the filename. But other than that, sure, the extra argument can be treated as a command line flag.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

06:26

OK cool. Are you sure the space counts? I've seen perl -p count as +1 byte.

Doorknob

Right, because perl -pe 'foo' is one longer than perl -e 'foo'.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Wait huh? I don't know anything about perl, but how is perl -e 'foo' not extra?

Doorknob

-e executes the code that is provided as the following command line argument. It's a very typical way of running Perl code (especially considering Perl's nature as a command line tool).

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Hmm. I can't find anything relevant on meta about scoring command line flags.

Destructible Watermelon

My idea for a KotH challenge is this: Each program defines a car like in this, and behavior pattern for the car from given input. Score is a function of bytes and performance, not sure on what function exactly.

perhaps measured in byteseconds, minutes or bytemicrofortnights, or whatever

Magenta

08:37

the problem with that is that a very minimal program with 5 bytes producing something empty would do better than a well written 200 byte car.

Destructible Watermelon

well then, i guess it could be a bit-minute or something

bitdecasecond, perhaps

also seconds would mean the time it takes to finish

I would try to ensure that the course is semi-difficult to finish (can't just rush through it without thought, perhaps (or maybe a well designed car could, in which case good for that car))

it's all about the weighting, anyway

So a badly designed small car would have to be well designed in order to finish the course

Mᴀʀs Uʟᴛᴏʀ

> badly designed
> well designed

Destructible Watermelon

I consider bytes because otherwise someone could encode a list of commands that finishes the course perfectly, like a TAS, I mean, perhaps this isn't the greatest way of ensuring something like that doesn't happen, it could also be interesting

@MᴀʀsUʟᴛᴏʀ I should have used scare quotes, ok?

I haven't the first clue where to start...

Probably have to find primality tests.

TùxCräftîñg

ಠ_ಠ

DerpfacePython

09:59

If Pyramid can't do a primality check

then it's not deemed a programming language by PPCG standards

so I'm probs going to either find a way to do it

TùxCräftîñg

if your language is TC (or at least it's believed), it's acceptable

DerpfacePython

I have no idea if it is TC

TùxCräftîñg

because a primality check is theorically possible

DerpfacePython

LOL

Thing is, Pyramid only stores 1 number at a time

which makes it really annoying for storing stuff

And the only memory is output

TùxCräftîñg

if your language can loop conditionaly, have a unlimited (or at least a big) number of memory location, it's TC

@DerpfacePython so pyramid is'nt TC

betseg

Hm it should

Destructible Watermelon

oh wait I actually badly specified challenge

I forgot to add that it should take input each time '~'

TùxCräftîñg

.~.

betseg

f(n){return!n?:f(n-1);} should do it

Destructible Watermelon

but that still takes an int?

can you make an anonymous lambda in python as a submission?

@DestructibleWatermelon Yes.

betseg

Ye what did you want

i dun geddit

El'endia Starman

It's usually the golfiest way to submit a function in Python.

Destructible Watermelon

also how to use lambdas?

El'endia Starman

Assign them to a variable then call it like you would any def'd function.

Destructible Watermelon

ok, then that does not make it any shorter

also, the function doesn't need to return anything

also, are there any 2 char functions in python?

El'endia Starman

@DestructibleWatermelon ...wait, what challenge are you working on?

Destructible Watermelon

the challenge I just made up lol

betseg

Oh i göt what you want now

TùxCräftîñg

@betseg whÿ ä ö?

betseg

Autocorrect:(

Destructible Watermelon

interpret me takes input and executes interpretme again as many times as * appears in input

betseg

11:47

Don't Google Translate what göt means :(:(

TùxCräftîñg

open google translate

huh

Destructible Watermelon

what is it?

betseg

Gluteus maximus

Gluteal muscles in general

TùxCräftîñg

dict(zip("z Z zz zZ Zz ZZ zzz zzZ zZz zZZ Zzz".split(), "1234567890."))

is there a much golfier way to do this?

betseg

Remove the unnecessary whitespace

TùxCräftîñg

ik

El'endia Starman

Wow, 1 byte removed! So much golfier!

betseg

1 byte saved, thanks to @betseg

TùxCräftîñg

i am asking for a shorter way to do this (with other functions for example)

El'endia Starman

I'm not sure there is a golfier way.

TùxCräftîñg

Doing it the typical way ({'z':'0', ...}) is either 13 or 33 bytes longer, depending on if you store the numbers as integers or strings.

@El'endiaStarman but you may be able to do a range -> binary -> transpose? idk if that's shorter though
