How is Language Agnostic Code Golf! a dupe of Which language is shortest?? Sure the general ideas are the same, but the methodologies are totally different. It's a dupe because both questions involve adding up scores based on language, huh? The technical differences between the challenges are so ...

@MDXF You can try these, as ASCII-olny suggested above

@ASCII-only That was originally made by Martin, just pointing it out.

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Thanks for the feedback. I would like to wait until tomorrow though, since Saturdays are (for some reason?) more inactive than Sundays.

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder People have stuff to do on Saturdays, but are bored on Sundays (at least that's why for me)

Mr. Xcoder

Meeeh, last two days of holiday

Wow, writing a KoTH is much harder than I thought

caird coinheringaahing

@icrieverytim I know you can't respond, but I really hope you change your username and picture back after the chat ban ends.

@Mr.Xcoder :P You're telling me. I have 2 challenges ready to post in the Sandbox, with the controllers being the only issue.

Mr. Xcoder

Yeah, I will restrict my KoTH to Python.

Are yours lang specific?

caird coinheringaahing

13:30

@Mr.Xcoder Most KoTHs are, unless someone makes a wrapper for other languages.

Mr. Xcoder

Which language?

Python I suppose?

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder Definitely. I can't make Hello, World programs in any other practical language

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing You don't know any other language (practical)?

caird coinheringaahing

TBH, I kinda want someone to make a Jelly-specific KoTH

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Really >.>

Then the controller will be much trickier to write

caird coinheringaahing

13:32

@Mr.Xcoder Not at a high enough level to make a controller

@Mr.Xcoder Yep. That's the challenge :P

Mr. Xcoder

Oh and regarding your question yesterday. The number of languages I currently learn has changed over night

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder Brainflak as well?

Mr. Xcoder

No, not yet

Now the correct number is 4. Husk, 05AB1E, C (yes, that C) and Ohm.

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder Why C?

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Because I realised it is better than C++ and is the only other decent language we can learn in school

Because, you know, I am sick of C++ and Pascal sucks

caird coinheringaahing

13:35

@Mr.Xcoder Are you actually not allowed to use Python?

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing I am not allowed to us Python.

Erik the Outgolfer

python is probably too easy?

Mr. Xcoder

There are 3 languages we can use: Pascal, C++ and C.

caird coinheringaahing

@EriktheOutgolfer Python is also much more powerful than most languages

Erik the Outgolfer

actually it's implemented in c

Mr. Xcoder

13:36

@cairdcoinheringaahing Yes, but Python is written in C

Dammit ninja'd

Erik the Outgolfer

so it can't be more powerful than c :p

Mr. Xcoder

yes

Nor more efficient

Erik the Outgolfer

caird coinheringaahing

@EriktheOutgolfer No, but its definitely easier

Erik the Outgolfer

how is progress

17:13

997/1000

also according to lagrange's theorem, any subgroup H of a group G with finite order n has order k that divides n, and since the union of two subgroups with order k0 and k1 has at most size k0 + k1 - 1 (because e overlaps always) then the maximum size of the union of two proper subgroups is n - 1

but the problem is for groups of infinite order

@LeakyNun ^?

Leaky Nun

@HyperNeutrino oops

@EriktheOutgolfer. Thanks.

HyperNeutrino

@LeakyNun but for finite groups is that correct

Leaky Nun

@HyperNeutrino yes

now for infinite groups... huh

my approach method is to prove that given a group G and a subgroup H, any subgroup J which contains at least every element of G not in H must contain all elements of G

Oh hang on Mirror inverses commands. wat.

HyperNeutrino

yup it was business cat's idea

when a command is executed, it becomes its inverse

(2d lang)

so cat is just , because input becomes output which outputs the input when the program wraps around again

ASCII-only

@HyperNeutrino but. that's inverse not mirror...

HyperNeutrino

close enough

I can't believe that I just realised how sad Python code is. Its full of ):

TuxCopter

and :) or (: is always a syntax error

betseg

why cant we do

try:
    :)
except SyntaxError:
    pass

@TuxCopter Whereas :( is perfectly fine

@betseg Because you can't catch syntax errors

betseg

why not

ASCII-only

@betseg how do you parse past the syntax error...

TuxCopter

In [1]: try:
   ...:     :)
  File "<ipython-input-1-eaf4e65c837b>", line 2
    :)
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

caird coinheringaahing

@betseg Unfortunately

TuxCopter

I think its because it's run line by line, and no matter what happens afterwards, syntax and tab errors are raised immediately
