The Nineteenth Byte

Fmbalbuena

17:07

@hyper-neutrino sorry for Python answer.

Mayube

That's a new one.. I'm getting "The server's response could not be decoded" when trying to test the Add++ answer

Fmbalbuena

i't works for me

but takes while

oh i got error sometimes

@Mayube Download Add++ in github

and you can test it

Add++

Mayube

I'm at work and don't have python on this machine. I'll take your word for it

aww, ++i++ doesn't work in C#

pxeger

17:23

@Mayube it's not even just parsed as +(+(i++))?

huh

Mayube

@pxeger Fairly certain C# has no monadic +

pxeger

@Mayube docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/…

Mayube

++i++ should be parsed as (++i)++, but ++'s operand must be a variable, and ++i returns a value

the exact error is The operand of an increment or decrement operator must be a variable, property or indexer

pxeger

I guess the main problem is that ++ is parsed as one token, and can never be interpreted as two instances of unary +

Mayube

yeah

I found a better way to do it anyway that doesn't involve incrementing i at all

that said, anyone know of a golfy way to map parity to -1 for odd and 1 for even? :P

hyper-neutrino

17:29

1-x%2*2

Mayube

woah

pxeger

~~(x&2)-1~~

that does the second bit, sorry lol

Mayube

@hyper-neutrino thanks, you just saved me 9 bytes

hyper-neutrino

lol

pxeger

@Mayube 9? What were you doing before lol

Mayube

17:33

@pxeger i%2>0?a[i-1]:a[i+1] became a[1-i%2*2+i]

hyper-neutrino

i mean, [1,-1][i%2] is only 11 which is 4 longer than 1-x%2*2

Mayube

yeah but can't do that in C#

pxeger

@hyper-neutrino I'm guessing this is C# so you can't just do that with the []

hyper-neutrino

oh wait

pxeger

ninja'd

hyper-neutrino

17:34

i am smart

Mayube

[1,-1] isn't an array literal, you'd have to do int[]{1,-1}

hyper-neutrino

i didn't bother checking what language this was lol

Mayube

the solution with Linq is less than half the size of the one without

m90

@Mayube Then I think it can be just a[i^1].

Mayube

@m90 omg witchcraft

hyper-neutrino

17:37

wait

pxeger

@Mayube bitwise operations are very useful, you should learn them ;)

Mayube

I understand them and know how they work, I'm just not good at applying them practically

hyper-neutrino

oh this unfortunately wouldn't work in jelly

or any one-indexed language

it also wouldn't save any bytes if it did work but it's cool

Redwolf Programs

@Mayube Same

Mayube

that same witchcraft also works in JS for a 23 byte solution

pxeger

17:41

which challenge are we talking about here?

hyper-neutrino

oh, unfortunately in vyxal this would have to be ẏ1꘍$vi which is worse

Mayube

@pxeger Swap every 2 items

really just a[i]=a[i^1]

Fmbalbuena

@Mayube

Redwolf Programs

I think I have four bytes in Ash

Mayube

I guess more accurately it'd be b[i]=a[i^1] so that you're not overwriting a as you go, which is what Select (aka map in JS) is for

Aaroneous Miller

17:44

bruh there's a hilarious 2 byte Vyxal solution using the r flag

Redwolf Programs

@RedwolfPrograms There might be a three byte Ash solution, trying to think of one

Aaroneous Miller

@AaroneousMiller yY: Uninterleave, then Interleave

Fmbalbuena

Hey can you write whitespace interpreter written in python or something to get 50 rep

Redwolf Programs

Ooh, found three bytes in Ash

Mayube

what happened to @AaroneousMiller's project to write a whitespace interpreter in Vim?

Redwolf Programs

17:45

It's actually less obscure than my original four byte one lol

Half, reverse, interleave

Wait, won't that work for Jelly too? Or is there no half array built-in

hyper-neutrino

there is odd-even but it is two bytes

Aaroneous Miller

@Mayube I've implemented all of the stack manipulation and arithmetic commands, now I'm moving on to the I/O commands now since I'm not yet sure how I'm going to format the heap. Once I have all the commands implemented, I'll figure out how I'm doing the parsing.

hyper-neutrino

and interleave doesn't actually flatten the array, it is more of a zip/transform

Unrelated String

also note that ṭ2/F is another jelly 4-byter

tried J^1ị then remembered 1-indexing

hyper-neutrino

yep :c

Mayube

@AaroneousMiller that is indeed hilarious

Redwolf Programs

Has nobody posted the obvious JS solution?

(Or the one that's obvious with the tricks mentioned here)

I don't want to since i^1 isn't my idea

Mayube

17:51

I was just about to say I'm surprised we don't have a JS answer yet

Redwolf Programs

Do you want to post it?

Mayube

I was gunna let somebody else post it given I posted the C# one and they're the exact same answer

Redwolf Programs

Should I just post it then?

Mayube

Sure

Redwolf Programs

Wait...TIO's unblocked!!!!!!!!!

Mayube

17:53

:O

Fmbalbuena

@Mayube test

Redwolf Programs

I can't believe they unblocked TIO, this is amazing

pxeger

is ATO blocked for you?

Mayube

@Fmbalbuena looks like it works now, though given how fast it's running it's for sure caching the output, so idk if it's actually running at all

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger Yes

Mayube

17:56

@RedwolfPrograms the JS in the post isn't the same as the JS in TIO, and I'm pretty sure the JS in the post won't work

Redwolf Programs

Oops copied the wrong thing

Fixed

Mayube

@RedwolfPrograms also it was @m90 who suggested [i^1], not pgexer :P

Redwolf Programs

What do you mean, it's always said m90 there 👀

Mayube

f=x=>[x.splice(0,2).reverse(),...f(x)] is a really stupid recursive solution :p

That makes it a really stupid recursive solution :p

Fmbalbuena

@hyper-neutrino What happened

hyper-neutrino

18:04

@Fmbalbuena redwolf's infinite recursion

Redwolf Programs

f=x=>0 in x?[x[1],x[0],...f(x.slice(2))]:[]

[] should be falsy >:|

Aaroneous Miller

@Fmbalbuena yep, here's a sample so far

Redwolf Programs

I like using "contains a truthy item" as the truthiness condition for arrays

Fmbalbuena

@AaroneousMiller do you make control flow

Redwolf Programs

@RedwolfPrograms Wouldn't work for JS/Python though

Aaroneous Miller

18:07

@Fmbalbuena I haven't gotten that far yet, but I have a couple ideas of how I'm going to implement it

hyper-neutrino

yes but recursion

@RedwolfPrograms a=[];a+=[a] is a truthy or not :P

Aaroneous Miller

[1,2,3,4,5,6] -> [3,4,5,6] -> [5,6] -> [] -> stop execution because [] is falsy

^ that's the intention

hyper-neutrino

except js is not a sane language and therefore this doesn't work :p

Redwolf Programs

@hyper-neutrino Yeah that's why I mentioned it not working in JS lol

@hyper-neutrino You can't += arrays, just do a[0] = a or a.push(a)

hyper-neutrino

i meant python

Aaroneous Miller

18:10

just do what I do when you don't like how a language works: reimplement it from scratch to make it the way you want it /s

Redwolf Programs

Wait what did you mean by JS is not sane then

hyper-neutrino

[] being truthy lol

Unrelated String

hyper-neutrino

@AaroneousMiller ngl that's the motivation behind proton

Mayube

ok here's a question. I just posted this Rust answer, however technically this answer only works in my test suite, because my test suite calls the function with let output: Vec<i32> = swaps(&input); (swaps() being the function). Explicitly specifying the type of output allows Rust to infer the return type of the closure, but without that explicit type it errors. Should I be required to include an explicit return type?

note that specifying the return type adds 10 bytes ->Vec<i32> and requires that i wrap the function itself in braces for an additional 2 bytes

pxeger

18:36

@Mayube no, your answer is fine

I've implemented Stack Manipulation, Arithmetic, Heap Access, and I/O commands. All that's left is Control Flow commands, and then the actual compilation and execution. The compilation will probably be just going through the program and placing the labels, and the execution should be fairly simple, but I may have to have a pretty low recursion limit for the subroutines (by pretty low I mean a depth of around 9-ish because reasons). Hopefully I can get it all done in time.

Q: List supereven numbers

A supereven (self-coined term) number is a number that has no odd prime factors and none of the digits have any odd prime factors. For example, the first 11 are 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 64, 128, 1024, 2048, and 262144. No decimals. As always, go for least number of bytes; the program has to be able to ...

caird coinheringaahing

@cairdcoinheringaahing Not sure if I can prove it, but I think there are only 8 supereven numbers: [0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 128, 1024, 2048]

Essentially, it's looking for powers of 2 whose digits are one-digit powers of 2, and I don't think one exists past 2048

Redwolf Programs

The squareroot of two is a rational power of two

You could use a RAID controller to, for example, copy everything written to one hard drive to another. It's a backup system, basically. I don't actually use RAID, but the controller is still there.

(North Yorkshire does exist, it just depends on who you ask, when you ask, what map you look at, where you ask, and whether or not it's raining in Sussex)

Redwolf Programs

TFW you find a sequence that's the exact same as another sequence, which is completely unrelated to what you're doing

Bubbler

It hasn't been full 24 hours yet, but yeah I guess it's unofficially ended

500 rep for first vanilla factorial answer in /// On the sixth LYAL about ///, I proposed a factorial CMC but it went unanswered. Plain "multiply two numbers" without self-replicating code requires consuming part of the input as a pattern replacement, and it doesn't generalize well. So apparently...

@Bubbler I think i can't do

Bubbler

Then go ahead

Fmbalbuena

You looked "@Bubbler I think i can do" but read carefully
