Q: Triangulating Angles

SuperZooper3Prompt: You are given two sets of XY coordinates along with two angles (all are floats): X1 Y1 A1 X2 Y2 A2. The angles are relative to world coordinates: 0 being straight up or north and going clockwise. Your program or function has to return a set of two floats of the XY coordinates the two angl...

Ugh, spent 10 minutes golfing an answer from 2015 by 17 bytes than realized it failed half the testcases
Actually make that 24 bytes

I'm considering writing a working answer, but it'll probably just end up like my xxd answer and nobody'll even see it.

Q: Python if statement not working

ColtonI am following a YouTube tutorial: https://youtu.be/1PDyuk84icQ trying to make a math game. The code i copied from the video is not working, if I get the multiplication problem correct I get the "else" trigger. I have tried a different IDE, and reinstalling python. import time import functools ...

@Razetime I'll probably never know because my teacher ended up having to quarantine so we did virtual school the whole time. I got a 90% for my grade, so she must have thought it sounded at least a little humanlike :/

I think that's one of the more entertaining bounty messages I've seen :p

SE should allow adding bounty messages to answers
like when you hover over the +100 it should show the message

Redwolf Programs
Redwolf Programs
For what part of it?
 
ASCII-only
ASCII-only
5:47 AM
you use it twice, one with 7, once with 2, not at pc so cant properly test if its shorter
similarly, for l>31&&l<127?String.fromCharCode(l):"." the && can most likely be replaced with &, the String.fromCharCode can maybe be moved outside the ternary: String.fromCharCode(l>31&l<127?l:46)

Already got that golfed, and I think your first idea should save a few bytes
 
ASCII-only

oh wait
(j=>i=>i.toString(16).padStart(j,0))(7)(i)
then just call it with 2 for the second time, removing the second lambda entirely?
 
Redwolf Programs
Redwolf Programs
Didn't think about that
Actually it looks like the curried one is the same length since it's called twice and takes an extra byte to call
Wait never mind, I get what you mean with calling it with 2 for the second time

Q: Formula Manipulation?

Jon SnowI have a formula => a^2 + b^3 = c^2. How would I print the values of a and c, such that it works with the formula above, also the value of b is given. Example: B = 3; 3 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 3 = 9 + 27 = 36 = 6 ^ 2, so we print 3 and 6 [If there are several solutions, print any one of them - doesn't matter.]
