An LTL Formula l is defined by the following grammar (where <x> describes the non-terminal symbol x): <l> ::= | F <l> | G <l> | X <l> | (<l> U <l>) | (<l> W <l>) | (<l> R <l>) | (<l> & <l>) | (<l> \| <l>) | !<l> ::= BVar | True | False | ( < ) | ( <= ) | ( > ...

@ATaco so you've exposed all the metadata for the object? Cool... Out of curiosity, can you set a variable to a function and invoke that, or does it have to be in _meta? Also, does Funky have classes, or just functions that return objects?

ATaco

What do you mean by set a variable to a function? Because you can do a = b => c

And classes aren't things, but objects can share metatables.

Socratic Phoenix

In both of the examples, you set functions to the _meta object and then apply that to the value.. is it possible to skip that and do val.a = a => a, or do all functions have to be set in _meta?

ATaco

You can set them in the object themselves.

Socratic Phoenix

So the purpose of _meta is to share functions? Are functions that are set on the object automatically added to _meta?

ATaco

Try it online!

user202729

10:48

And overload operators.

No. (reply to Are functions that are set on the object automatically added to _meta?)

ATaco

_meta's purpose is for, mostly, metamethods, like overriding operators.

Socratic Phoenix

Oh okay

user202729

Like JS prototype and Lua ... metatable.

Socratic Phoenix

So you can have an add function as well as an add operator? Cool.

ATaco

Lua's metatable is, unsurprisingly, a lot of the inspiration.

Socratic Phoenix

10:50

Lol I've never touched Lua

ATaco

If you set o.add to a function, doing o+o won't call it, but if you set o._meta._add to it, then it will call it.

Socratic Phoenix

Nice

user202729

What's the difference between : and ::?

ATaco

: is for ternary expressions. : used to also be equivilent to lua's a:b(), but it was renamed to prevent compile collisions to ::

dzaima

Dammit broke my phone today. Dropped it and it had only minor screen damage - is was completely usable.. .except for the fact that the touchscreen didn't work. After a couple of normal restarts now it doesn't boot anymore, strangely

ATaco

11:20

Dennis's timezone means that Funky isn't the latest version on TIO yet.

And this saddens me because I know all the glaring bugs.

Adám

@dzaima Be smart: Get a stupidphone.

dzaima

@Adám then I won't be able to use APL :p

Adám

@dzaima You used APL on your phone‽

dzaima

@Adám I play around with ngn or sAPL sometimes in school breaks. Once I even used APL in class when we had a table of data and an equation to be applied to each row :p

Adám

@dzaima That's really cool. I'm trying to convince Dyalog that we need an Android Dyalog APL app…

@Dennis Can TIO support graphics? (that is, can you add Logo to TIO)

@HyperNeutrino This method is O(log_8(n)) I think. Why do you think so? What is n here? Do you just put the comment there to pad to 861 bytes?

HyperNeutrino

Mostly lol. n is the input number.

Also, TIO currently only has basic textfields so it would need some revising to support graphics and/or syntax highlighting.

Also:

talk.tryitonline.net

For general discussion and feature requests regarding tryitonl...

user202729

That backtrack-like algorithm can't get that good time.
(also don't use recursion unnecessarily)

HyperNeutrino

lol recursion was the best way I could think of

then again if I were doing it in Python I'm sure it would be slightly better :P

user202729

At least the vector sums have n elements so it is at least O(n) already. And sorting it takes O(n log n).

Mr. Xcoder

@DJMcMayhem Recalculated: I visited 239 days, so 14487 / 239 = 60,615 rep/day

Mr. Xcoder

@user202729 I think Hyper wins.

HyperNeutrino

second time I'm getting close to winning? why ;-;

eh I have 6 days left

Mr. Xcoder

Otherwise I am just going to hardcode the first 1k terms

user202729

Well no, because I've already done my Logo code for drawing the fractal.

HyperNeutrino

there are only 49 terms

user202729

The sequence is infinite.

Mr. Xcoder

Socratic Phoenix

@Mr.Xcoder Lol I have ~2 rep per day

user202729

Question: Does pass a commandline that need to increase as the required input increase valid?

HyperNeutrino

?

user202729

Because my Logo code (above) draw the fractal on the screen and get the data, which force the screen size to be proportional to the sequence so it can work correctly.

You can try it yourself, it draws the fractal.

HyperNeutrino

12:22

I think as long as it theoretically works it's fine :P

user202729

It requires command-line parameter pass to the interpreter (change canvas size) as well as parameter (the number) pass to the function.

HyperNeutrino

hm

Can you just make it change the canvas size automatically to the minimum required for n=1000?

Taking extra input isn't allowed, I think.

user202729

Makes sense. The program only need to work with n <= 1000.

HyperNeutrino

yeah

can you just make like a wrapper program that takes the input and passes the command line parameters into the inner function? so like maybe make a bash program that takes the input, does stuff, and then calls Logo

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Well conversting to hex is 2 bytes, I am afraid that is not possible.

HyperNeutrino

unless there's a one-byter to check if two sets have a non-empty intersection

but I don't think so :P

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Yeah, let's don't underestimate Dennis after all

HyperNeutrino

yup :P

Shortest I can get is b⁴œ&/ taking L/R as a list and returning [] for False and non-empty for True

Mr. Xcoder

Yes, me too.

If I wanted to win, I could've done that already by not saving the challenge. Although I think KSmarts did get a Mathematica fallback answer in case mine couldn't be fixed cuz it broke lol

but then I did fix it

although the basis for the Mathematica answer was originally my code, but it was mostly pulled from Mathematica.SE so KSmarts could've found it too

user202729

It does work. TIO link added.

caird coinheringaahing

14:11

HyperNeutrino

n ** 2 + n ** 3 = (1 + n) * (n ** 2)

user202729

caird coinheringaahing

@user202729 Mine was +²×

HyperNeutrino

(n + n ** 2) * n works as well true :P

caird coinheringaahing

Taken from the Jelly tutorial, TBH

Neil

14:16

that's just confusing, it should be ²+×

Erik the Outgolfer

why?

caird coinheringaahing

@Neil No, because dyads in Jelly act infix, and monads are postfix

Neil

so ×+² ?

HyperNeutrino

halp I can't do this in TIO enlist lol

Neil

@EriktheOutgolfer +² looks like the square of the sum, rather than adding the square

HyperNeutrino

14:19

not to me but maybe that's just cuz I have jelly experience :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Neil That would be n × n + n²

Erik the Outgolfer

@cairdcoinheringaahing or 2n² in short...

Neil

so what does ²+× actually do then?

caird coinheringaahing

(n² + n) × n

Erik the Outgolfer

husk, 4 bytes: §*□→

Neil

14:21

@cairdcoinheringaahing so, the same result, but just slightly less unreadable :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Neil Yes, but its less readable to Jellyers (IMO)

HyperNeutrino

In current Enlist: +²× :P

caird coinheringaahing

I read +²× as "Add the argument's square to the argument, then times that by the argument"

HyperNeutrino

Enlist is probably going to get VTC'd as a dupe of Jelly :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing -1 * "a" for example. And then (-1 * "a") + "ii" would result to i

Or by removing the last character of an empty string

caird coinheringaahing

@dzaima So it would be some sort of abstract data type? If you can add that, do. It sounds really cool/maybe helpful

dzaima

@cairdcoinheringaahing It would have helped me on at least 3 questions, one being the last the last ascii-art posted

@cairdcoinheringaahing How did I never think of addressing whether the grid toroidal?

Q: Change the rules of Life

Life-like cellular automaton are cellular automaton that are similar to Conway's Game of Life, in that they operate on a (theoretically) infinitely large square grid, where each cell has exactly 8 neighbours, and is one of 2 states, namely alive and dead. However, these Like-like versions are di...

Interesting

@DJMcMayhem Do tell

Brain-flak now has more stars on Github than V does. That's a first

feature-request-request for enlist again

lol i don't want to just copy jelly so i'm asking community for features

caird coinheringaahing

Ask Dennis for feature requests :P

HyperNeutrino

well dennis can answer but i'm asking PPCG community for features :P

k I'm gonna finally attempt to start working on an actual ascii-art golfing language

HyperNeutrino

anyway gtg o/

@Mr.Xcoder I love the fact that a significant part of your Pyth code for the lambda shield question is just pluses :P

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Yeah ik

I have to do maths rn, :-/

I either arrive or leave near HyperNeutrino's "anyway gtg o/" and think:

Has TNB really been that quiet whilst I was gone?

@cairdcoinheringaahing are the languages on the TI Nspire Cx and the TI Nspire Cx Cas different for the oeis challenge?

@dzaima seems like something didn't go well in my solution :p

@DJMcMayhem I'd not be surprised imho

DJMcMayhem

Why?

Erik the Outgolfer

well brain-flak seems more interesting than v...at least imho

dzaima

@EriktheOutgolfer I wanted to say something like if input 1 wasn't required to work, then SOGL would be only X bytes, but soon found out that that doesn't help.. :p

Erik the Outgolfer

17:23

imo that 1 case seems like it's a special case

dzaima

@EriktheOutgolfer it can be, but it can be worked around without extras for it

Erik the Outgolfer

not in charcoal though :(

dzaima

@EriktheOutgolfer why? I'd imagine overwriting a ( isn't much different than overwriting |

Erik the Outgolfer

hmm...I might have figured out a fix

Hey Mego

On the Pollard's rho issue, I have some code that I wrote myself and I have some code that I grabbed from the sympy source code

Would you like to see either?

Anonymous

@Sherlock9 Sure

Sherlock9

Let me put it them in pastebin

Anonymous

A gist would be easier

Sherlock9

Gist it is

caird coinheringaahing

@HusnainRaza I'd say yes, they are different

Sherlock9

17:42

@Mego My version here and sympy's version here

I should note that I copy-pasted the sympy version and was planning to analyze further later

This is just what I have so far

caird coinheringaahing

@Sherlock9 Those link to the same thing

Anonymous

@Sherlock9 You linked your version twice

Sherlock9

Edited

Thank you both

Anonymous

@Sherlock9 Quick note: gcd is provided in math, so you don't have to write your own implementation

Sherlock9

Ah, I should use that then

The "igcd" thing in the sympy version is supposed to be sympy's version with it's own cache-handling

But I didn't bother copying that over because it by itself was 30 lines of code or so

Hmm... Since we already have a list of primes, I wonder if it would be more efficient to just do something like:

Anonymous

facs = []
for p in primes:
  while n%p==0:
    n//=p
  facs.append(p)
  if p*p>=n: break

Anonymous

That should be O(e*sqrt(n)), where e is the largest exponent in the product-of-prime-powers form of n

Sherlock9

Well, Pollard's rho is pretty good when paired with trial division up to a point

Oh, I should say that the source is here
