@JonathanAllan eh, I'm not sure if that's a valid format, since I'm pretty sure you can assume you'll be given either enough digits or an EOF
@EriktheOutgolfer not if there is an EOF value, unless I've misunderstood something. For example let's say the whole value is 132 and the potential divisor is 4 then [] and [2] return anything other than false or true (including the function itself etc...) while [2,3], [2,3,1], and [2,3,1,EOF] return true. It strikes me as close to the global state option. — Jonathan Allan 5 mins ago
the catch is that your submission should be aware of the number of digits you need without an EOF, not ask for too much input
if it's given a list instead, it can be sure that it won't ask for too much input without even calculating the number of digits
(or at least checking whether the number of digits already given is large enough, and it minus one isn't)
12:13
@EriktheOutgolfer I have no idea why that makes this an invalid format. In the case I gave true is returned when the input reaches 4, [2,3] the fact that 4, [2,3,1] also returns true does not IMO affect the validity.
(...imagine it like the global state version except the preceding digits are passed in again rather than relying on a global variable for storage)
13:06
@JonathanAllan hm, if the function is invoked multiple times like that, then it might be valid

Is the current consensus still "a language may only compete in challenges which are younger than the language" and that one can post answer to older challenges nontheless but has to mark them "non-competing"?
awesome, thanks!

Q: Repeat a rhyme and loop on the vowels

joH1Vowels rhyme: Apples and Bananas There is a traditional children's song that repeats the same text over and over, only each time every vowel is replaced with a random vowel, but constant across the current stanza. Challenge The objective is to propose the shortest code that performs such a tra...

hi
@NoahCristino yo
@Adám whats ur fav language
code golf language*
@NoahCristino APL — both for production code and for golfing.
@Adám nice I only know jelly but I wanna learn more
@NoahCristino I'll be happy to teach you. Did you know that Jelly's grandparent is APL?

@Adám ok which chatroom do we goto?

If programming languages were people ... that family tree would be more disturbing than royal families.

@Zacharý you mean this?
I should delete my atrocity and add RAD in there.
19:15
There, it's updated to include RAD. Can someone update the image? I don't know how to download the pic (or whatever you did)

@Zacharý It would be a family digraph with cycles, not a family tree
Well, if one simplified it to a family tree ... that'd be weird

Speaking of cycles, are there any cycles in the PPCG genealogy chart?
