@RadvylfPrograms If you double click on a file with an unknown extension, Windows asks you to pick an app to run that program in, and whether you want that app to be the default app to run files with that extension
Compute the Law of Cosines
code-golf
Overview
The task at hand: given the following formula (the Law of Cosines) $$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos \gamma}$$ compute it for a given \$a\$, \$b\$, and \$\gamma\$.
Rules
You may choose whether to input \$\gamma\$ in radians or degrees
IO defaults apply

@pxeger Looks clear enough, tho I suspect most approaches will just do "sums of the powerset that appear more than once". I'd suggest adding an example where a sum can be made in 3 or more ways
CMC: Given a list with an even number of elements, place the second half in front of the first. If it has an odd number of elements, leave the center-most element alone
So, [a, b, c, d] becomes [c, d, a, b], and [a, b, c, d, f] becomes [d, f, c, a, b]
@allxy I learned C++ for intro programming in college. Whenever I see C++ on StackExchange these days, I don't even know what I'm looking at. Either the language has changed a lot since 2006, or what they were teaching us wasn't very idiomatic C++.
CMC: given a ragged multidimensional list of unique integers, and one of those integers, find the integer directly preceding it in the flattened tree. Must use O(1) memory - so you can't flatten the list!

@cairdcoinheringaahing Define modules. Does builtins count? Python is very tightly coupled to its library and it's very hard to say where both start and end
@cairdcoinheringaahing I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Python, is in fact, Modules/Python, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Modules plus Python.
I was telling my AP seminar teacher, who's also an english teacher, about the super sarcastic comment he'd left on that assignment and she was like "yep, Mr. Riggs do be like that"
He's infamous for just giving up on grading and giving everyone 85s on stuff
Compare me and input

Missing quine challenges?
Write a function or a full program that compares lexicographically its source code and input, that is, output three distinct values of your choice telling if input / source code is Bigger, Equal or Less than source code / input.

So, my upcoming language cannot support triads, due to the way its parsing works. So I came up with a pretty cool hack: there's a dyad called the 'triad modifier", which must be followed by a dyad. So, it parses the same as two dyads, with three arguments, but the two get merged afterward into a single operator.
If followed by a monad instead it's a digraph dyad, and with a nilad it's a digraph monad.
Sort of, but the dyad that comes after it just an ordinary dyad. So for example, T+ (if T was the triad modifier) might be "pad right", and the + is never actually run
Since the parser doesn't care what the operators do, and the operators just receive their children as an AST and it's up to them if they run it or treat it as something else
This is actually how functions and string literals will work too
I find it interesting just how much redundancy there is in english
Because lots of important words like pronouns and verbs like "be" and "can" encode additional information, you can get all sorts of stuff wrong and the sentence is still understandable
"Am confused" is perfectly unambiguous, and things like "There were two car" are still pretty easy to figure out
@PyGamer0 to be fair make doesn't detect header file changes unless you tell it which object files depend on them, it will only assume object files depend on source files by default
@pxeger whoops I also failed to notice that cc successfully and silently creates an object file for an empty source file
