Pretty trivial in MATL: `:pG/G\`
 
@DJMcMayhem Do you intend it to be a CMC?
 
Shit, how do I code format a backslash?
 
I suggest you not to do it if you plan to post it
 
You suggest not to have it be a CMC before being a real challenge? Why not?
 
Whatever
 
7:04 AM
My last two both were, and were received pretty well
I'm really just screwing around right now
 
@DJMcMayhem Silos, 66 bytes: here
 
Is silos similar to sesos?
 
not at all
although both are like assembly
but silos is a more powerful assembly
 
Ooh, that would be fun in brain-flak!
 
Nope, not planning to do it in brain-flak
 
7:08 AM
I don't think it would be that hard. Multiplication's not too bad, and modulus is already done
 
@DJMcMayhem I don't feel like copying codes
 
My only non-trivial brain-flak answer was mostly copied, haha
I just added one logic gate on top of modulus
 
@DJMcMayhem logic gate?
 
Maybe gate was the wrong word
A logical function
 
I challenge you to out-golf my one-stack swap (34 bytes)
 
7:11 AM
A NOT I believe
@LeakyNun no way, haha. I'm actually really bad at bf. I just had the original idea and Eamon took over the examples and marketing, lol
 
@DJMcMayhem one-stack not (24 bytes) (consumes input) (stack-safe)
 
That's pretty clever. I've always felt like there a lot of clever uses for the <> monad, but they're all really hard to come up with
 
@DJMcMayhem that's actually just a port of the brainfuck algorithm
 
Oh really? What is it in brainfuck?

Halp what do | do in SILOS
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei absolute
-3 -> 3, 0 -> 0, 10 -> 10
 
Then the swap program can be 3 bytes shorter

@ReleasingHeliumNuclei does not work if the variables are negative to start with

in a forum i mod there is a autosave thing, activates every 45 seconds
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei sometimes I save thing as backup
so if I fail, I just get back the link and start again
and I don't have to start again from the very beginning
 
Frequent enough to save, not frequent enough to slow
 
By the way, my solution is 34 bytes now
 
@ReleasingHeliumNuclei Do you want me to post it or do you want to continue exploring?

@randomra Sounds vague at the moment. Got diagrams?
 
hi, yeah, I drifted away for quite some time
and now maybe slowly creeping back :)
tons of new golf languages appeared

@Sherlock9 just played with a paper, but for n=0,1,2 f(n)=1,2,5
 
Yeah, we have Sesos and S.I.L.O.S recently. And Mego went from Seriously to Actually
@randomra Ah, I see now. Can't wait to see it posted/in the Sandbox :D

Q: The longest period iterating quine

NathanielAs we know, a quine is a program that outputs its own source code. However, it's also possible to write a program that outputs another, different program, that outputs the first program again. For example, the Python 2 program x = '''x = {} print 'print '+'"'*3+x.format("'"*3+x+"'"*3)+'"'*3''' p...

@Sp3000 Yeah, flipped etc. is considered the same. It's a bit complex. I haven't written any code for it myself just wanted to create an origami related challenge as there is none on PPCG

@LeakyNun Little late but: brain-flak.tryitonline.net/…
 
12:33 PM
@EamonOlive I'm incredibly concerend that brain-flak is almost as golfy as SILOS
 
@EamonOlive nice!
 
@EamonOlive that factorial function is shorter than my SILOS implementation
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala I'm doing major changes to silos.java if you don't mind
in order to optimize for speed
 
@LeakyNun sure, I commited something yesterday, so it may look like some spaghetti, but go ahead and refactor/ pull request, and I'll gladly merge it with master
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala so I advise you not to add new functionalities for the moment
 
12:35 PM
@LeakyNun ok, I will halt developement.
 
alright
 
CMC: Given a string with alphabetic characters, output a truthy value iff the lowercase characters are in order and the uppercase characters are in order.
For example, aGdJeKf should give a truthy value (because adef and GJK are in order)
 
5 hours ago, by Leaky Nun
CMC: logical not in SILOS (TIO link)
^ iz nice
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala oh, we require 0 -> 1 and anything else -> 0
and we came up with the same 34-byte solution
 
@Adnan Pyth, 13 bytes: &SI@GzSI@r1Gz
@RohanJhunjhunwala nice
 
That is actually non trivial in SILOS rip
 
s=input()
a=[i for i in s if i.isupper()]
b=[j for j in s if j.islower()]
print(a==a.sort())*(b==b.sort())
@Adnan see above
 
nice
 
@LeakyNun any ideas on how to do the cmc? LoadLine, and then check if in order...
 
12:48 PM
@RohanJhunjhunwala it's feasible, but i won't do it
 
@LeakyNun ok,
@LeakyNun do you think your 2593 byte quine is the shortest? I was experimenting with a way to use a macro to shave off all the repeated set commands, but it lengthened the quine
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala the key is to shorten the second part of the quine, because each character corresponds to 15 characters in the first part
 
Correction:
s=input()
a=[i for i in s if i.isupper()]
b=[j for j in s if j.islower()]
print(a==sorted(a))*(b==sorted(b))
 
@LeakyNun the issue is by using a define statement I can golf off prints, but I have the increased cost of having to print def p print in a roundabout way
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala exactly
 
12:51 PM
@LeakyNun I think your solution is likely optimal
Unless there is some spaghetti which can be untangled, but I didn't see any...
@LeakyNun I got your TAC program
Some bytes had to be added to stop the single null byte at termination
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala hint: remove the second line
 
- 3 bytes
There has got to be a golfier way of going through and printing it backwards
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala Actually, tac is split each line and reverse the order, but never mind

um.. thats fairly challenging
If I can take input as one CLA per line it somewhat improves it...
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala I don't think so?
How are you going to store the first CLA
 
1:03 PM
@LeakyNun oh, I thought we were reversing each line not the order of lines. Yeah, that majes it even harder. Reversing the order of the lines, requires a unique homegrown data structure
 
@El'endiaStarman what do you think about having two functions in the same class myFunc(a: List) and myFunc(a: ArrayList)? Obviously, if I allow it, I'd always call the more specific one if possibe, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea
 
Any new CMCs? (It's been 3 hours)
 
Implement tac in SILOS (warning its a chat mega challenge
 
CMC: base conversion in SILOS

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ what is this?
 
@El'endiaStarman another question: Lets say I have two functions myFunc(a: Int) and myFunc(a: Int[Positive], and in my class, I pass in an Int (I don't know if its Positive). Should this be checked at runtime?
 
if so, I definitely need some syntax that indicates that this will happen (as I want runtime checks to be as explicit as possible)
 
@LeakyNun I tried to modify my reference implementation to Output "Fit" numbers with no luck
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala challenge link?
 
1:25 PM
(sorry for bombarding you with all these questions)
 
@RohanJhunjhunwala Do you mind if in the process I changed some behaviour
e.g. not requiring a space after readIO and loadLine
 
@LeakyNun sure
@LeakyNun as long as the features you add are a superset of the original functionality
