Q: Clarification of global variables as "arguments"

Say language X supports functions, but input must be done through one of the predefined global variables (all initialized to zero). Can I consider this a use of an argument? Similarly can I use this global variable (or another) as an "output argument". I believe the standards are unclear on this.

Matthew Roh

@MistahFiggins Internally

Riker

iirc they're saved on dennis'es server

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@Riker in assembly languages it lets you write to memory addresses as inut and output, thats the way I envisioned input to methods when I originally wrote the language. SInce there are no arguments, essentially that is the only programmatic way to pass input.

Riker

ah

well, can your language take input any other way? if so, then I don't think it's assembly

Jan Dvorak

under that logic, assembly wouldn't be assembly

TuxCopter

17:14

@RohanJhunjhunwala If SILOS did not have I/O commands, memory-mapped input/output would be allowed, but it has I/O commands

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@Riker all input methods essentially dump the I/O to mememory locations

TuxCopter

All inputs methods in all languages do this

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

fair enough.

So the global variables available are not the same thing as arguments, correct?

Riker

yeah

@MartinEnder I realised it's not so easy to do what you asked. Here are the distinct Hamming distance sequences for small n paste.ubuntu.com/24177721

Martin Ender

@Lembik how come? Are there too many invalid ones?

Lembik

@MartinEnder well from which set?

if we look at all sequences that have values from 0 to n in each position there are n^n of those in total

Martin Ender

17:42

Yes

Lembik

I suppose that's ok still for n = 5

Martin Ender

Well (n+1)^n

Lembik

good point

so you would get around five thousand for n = 5

there are more excluded than included

if that might be useful I can provide them

Martin Ender

Maybe for n=3,4 for a start

I'd say so. Cheesy, perhaps, but legit.

Nobody said "payload capable". Au contraire, the best way to have payload is to read your own source code.

A: What counts as a proper quine?

Instead of arguing about what counts as a "real" or "proper" quine, which I suspect is too subjective and context-dependant to ever permit a non-contentious definition, let me try to instead suggest a related, hopefully slightly less loaded dichotomy: Definition: A quine is payload-capable if...

alternatively, if you go with Martin's answer, the "Hello World" doesn't actually encode the output

Riker

@DownChristopher.... the meta says so

that meta contains the rules for quines

currently, one answer says that it must be "payload capable" and the other says it must encode itself

your answer doesn't really do either

Down Christopher

I hate the meta right now

Riker

okay

Down Christopher

@Riker actually don't you have to specify if you are using the proper quine rules?

Riker

....... no.

tha'ts the whole point of them being the standard quine rules

Down Christopher

19:33

It is not a set of rules

Riker

how?

Down Christopher

It is asking what a proper quine is. I get your point

Riker

it lays down a set of rules for proper quines

Nathan Merrill

the entire purpose of meta is to lay down rules.

Riker

I can't understand what you're saying, clean up grammar?

and FWIW it does say it's a rule

> Where there is genuine ambiguity, I would recommend lenience in enforcing this rule.

Down Christopher

19:38

@Riker actually

A quine is a non-empty computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output.

Riker

correct

Down Christopher

Straight from the question

Riker

yes

Down Christopher

That appears to set a rule

Does it not?

Riker

yea

Down Christopher

19:39

So

Riker

but it doesn't say that any program that does that is allowed

Down Christopher

This definition :Definition: A quine is payload-capable if it can be extended, in some systematic manner, to include a "payload" of additional code capable of performing arbitrary computation, in addition to printing its source code. A payload-capable quine, in its base form, must include all the code necessary to carry and execute a payload, even if no actual payload is present.

from the meta would not apply

Riker

yes it would

Jan Dvorak

@Riker It kind does

Down Christopher

I do not understand anymore

Jan Dvorak

19:40

I understand, but still disagree

Riker

@DownChristopher also fwiw: markdown, except for blockquotes and codeblocks doesn't work in multiline messages

it's sad but true

Down Christopher

If I define something in my challenge that overrides the default

Right?

Riker

@JanDvorak correction: it doesn't say that all programs that do that are allowed

whatever

Jan Dvorak

That's implied

Riker

I gtg eat food so I'm outta here

o/

Down Christopher

19:41

This is a odd issue for me

DJMcMayhem

Wait, is payload capable now the official definition of a proper quine?

Jan Dvorak

My point is: the HQ9+ answer is inventive and thus worth keeping

Nathan Merrill

@DownChristopher to override meta, you need to explicitly say what you are overwriting. You can have multiple definitions that all aggregate together for a complete definition

DJMcMayhem

I still think 2i2i is a proper quine that isn't payload capable

Nathan Merrill

@DJMcMayhem we have two top answers, but the HQ9+ doesn't follow either of them

Down Christopher

19:42

@DJMcMayhem I hope not

@NathanMerrill Who said that?

The meta?

Nathan Merrill

@DownChristopher why assume otherwise?

Down Christopher

@NathanMerrill Can I get a link?

Nathan Merrill

I mean, the two defintions aren't in contradiction with each other

Jan Dvorak

Should I take it this site is letter over spirit now?

Down Christopher

I have no idea

Nathan Merrill

19:45

@DownChristopher lets go with Martin's answer to make sure that we are correct: "a true quine will in one way or another consist of data, and code". That definition does not conflict with "A quine is a non-empty computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output."

they can both be true of quines

so there's no reason to assume that they are overriding meta

AdmBorkBork

One definition is what the program does, the other definition is how it does it.

Nathan Merrill

right

Down Christopher

I have no idea if it is valid. I am staying with invalid (my answer)

Nathan Merrill

I don't think its valid, but I'm hesitant (because you can argue that "H" encodes "Hello World!"), so I haven't flagged/voted on it

AdmBorkBork

The Hello World! in HQ9+, while clever, IMO doesn't match our community consensus definition of payload-capable quines.

Jan Dvorak

19:48

I vote to keep it

Down Christopher

@AdmBorkBork But the question never said we needed that

Nathan Merrill

yeah, but that answer isn't the top voted answer yet

AdmBorkBork

@DownChristopher Yeah, it does. It uses the quine tag, which links directly to that Meta question about what is a proper quine.

Nathan Merrill

@AdmBorkBork right, but "payload capable" isn't the top answer.

its close, so if some people vote, then it will be

I also submitted it to the time capsule thingy

AdmBorkBork

@NathanMerrill This is true, but there's a very fine line between "payload-capable" and "separate data and code" which are the top two answers. And the HQ9+ submission fails against both.

Nathan Merrill

@AdmBorkBork yeah I agree that the line is fine. I'm also not sure that "H" doesn't encode "Hello World", which means that it could be non-cheating. I still feel like it's a cheating quine, but I can see the other argument

Down Christopher

I have no idea anymore

Nathan Merrill

honestly, I'd post it on meta

Down Christopher

I was

Have been writing it for a while

Nathan Merrill

ah ok :)

Down Christopher

It took a bit

Hello taco

ATaco

G'day.

AdmBorkBork

@NathanMerrill I'd argue that H doesn't encode Hello World!.

There's no possibility of data manipulation. It'd be like saying that print() "encodes" a newline.

ATaco

H, according to the spec, prints Hello World!, the rest of ello World! are no-ops, which theoretically make it as valid a quine as H9Q+ could possibly hope to produce.

Nathan Merrill

20:00

so, you'd allow it in a HQ9+ variant that puts "Hello World!" on the top of the stack, and allows you to manipulate it?

(and auto prints the top of the stack)?

ATaco

Still technically not Payload Capable, as there's no way to Mutate the stack.

Nathan Merrill

right, but payload capable isn't technically needed

Lembik

@MartinEnder Here they are bpaste.net/show/356500925f1a

@Lembik I am working on this and first is a hamming distance calculator

@Lembik distance of "101" and "011"?

My calculator gets 4

Downgoat

@KritixiLithos thank you for explanation of email structure

Down Christopher

I think it is bwoke

Wait i fixed it

So hmm but hamming distance needs strings of the same length...

Lembik

@DownChristopher The Hamming distance is the number of positions that are different. In your case it is 2

yes it needs strings of the same length

@DownChristopher if something in the question isn't clear please just ask

Down Christopher

@Lembik So what is a hamming sequence?

Let P be a binary string of length n and T be a binary string of length 2n-1. We can compute the n Hamming distances between P and every n-length substring of T in order from left to right and put them into an array (or list).

That part is stopping me

Lembik

take a look at the example

Let P = 101 and T = 01100. The sequence of Hamming distances you get from this pair is 2,2,1

2,2,1 is a sequence of Hamming distances

Down Christopher

20:35

k

I don't understand how you get the sequence

Riley

@DownChristopher I think you compare P to every substring of T with length equal to the length of P. The hamming distances would be {101, 011} = 2, {101, 110} = 2, {101, 100} = 1.

fəˈnɛtɪk

101 is different from 011 by 2 characters, from 110 by 2 characters, from 100 by 1 character
