Some of it is experience. For that one, I knew a collector would be needed for the "add something to the end" part, because otherwise you can never delay a bit long enough to guarantee you're adding it to the end of a stream and not the middle.
So my first attempt was "put a 1 in collector A; discard the first bit of the input and put it in collector B; put contents of collector A into collector B; output collector B."
- Whenever there are no bits on the playfield, at least one collector opens. - All collectors that have the same letter open at the same time. - The earliest letter that has a collector with some bits in it is the one that opens. B will not open until all A's are empty, C won't open until all A's and B's are empty, etc.
EQSS: Encoded Quick Speakable Sdrawkcab
Sdrawkcab
Written Sdrawkcab
Written Sdrawkcab is simple: you reverse the word.
Example Program:
def written_sdrawkcab(x):
return x[::-1]
So it's that easy, right?
Wrong -- Spoken Sdrawkcab
In spoken Sdrawkcab, it is different. Take the word different. Does...
@NumberBasher just add some example test cases directly into the post body instead of pointing ppl to run the example program themselves, its more convenient that way
What I think about Esolangs, Part 1
What are esolangs
Well, good question. There's no exact definition for it, and there is no quantitative measure. For your reference, this is what esolangs.org said: https://esolangs.org/wiki/Esoteric_programming_language
But why on Earth use or create an esolan...
im currently trying to figure out how to multiply in bitcycle
i feel like i need to split out the two numbers and put them into two separate collectors, but I cant quite figure out how I can switch which way bits go on the first 0
0V ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ idk how fast this grows but i think it grow pretty fast, idk tho
[Try it online!](https://tio.run/##S8osSa5Mzkn9/19BoUxBwYbLXsEpxjGOywnI/v//v6GBIQiBMYQwBAA "BitCycle – Try It Online") will repeatedly prepend a bit to the bottom `B` collector
i don't know how alexa could have gotten the correct textual representation then failed to find results and it's surprising but not impossible for it to then be read back wrong
Often, answers to questions asking for "programs" or talking about "programming languages" utilize things like sed, awk, … in order to get around having to write an actual shell script.
Therefore, a question comes to my mind:
What qualifies as a programming language?
Sure, ultimately the OP ca...
so yeah there's a handful of trivial examples where the literal string will produce itself, and length-encoded languages are in a similar boat, but as for actually writing a program with those characters meaningfully, that's a real good question
@JoKing erm you can't use double quotes let me edit that
i cant edit it
whatever
btw who can teach me Jelly or give me a link to a tut? I don't understand the "integer" part of https://github.com/DennisMitchell/jellylanguage/wiki/Tutorial
ive never really took a deep dive into learning a golfing lang, they always looked hella confusing to me with the amount of builtins and other stuff that they have
piet with the ascii-piet encoding we came up with when it was the LYAL a few weeks ago comes suprisingly close to being able to print "Hello, World!" using only the characters in it
Haplology
Haplology is a linguistic term:
the omission of one occurrence of a sound or syllable that is repeated within a word, for example probly for probably.
For this challenge, it means specifically, replacing any sequences of two or more letters that are repeated two or more times with jus...

Palindromic Powers
Powers
We define an important power as a number that can be represented as \$ x^y \$ where \$ x ≥ 2 \$ and \$ y ≥ 2 \$.
Palindrome
We define an important palindrome as a number that is the same written forwards and backward, and is greater than 10. Thus, the last digit must not...
What general tips do you have for golfing in Python? I'm looking for ideas which can be applied to code-golf problems and which are also at least somewhat specific to Python (e.g. "remove comments" is not an answer).
Please post one tip per answer.
Is it a good chord?
Definition of a chord:
We define a chord as three notes together.
Definition of a note:
We define a note as a number between 1 and 7, inclusive. As in music, we define 1 as do, 2 as re, 3 as fa, etc. However, the note names are not important. They will not be included in the q...
