What the final policy will be regarding the use of this and other similar tools is something that will need to be discussed...

SketchySketch

but this language (i'm trying to create) has variable definitions...

lyxal

@SketchySketch those can just be stored in a hashmap stored in a context passed between every function

SketchySketch

12:40

I thought the idea is basically the same... I don't have much knowledge about this

anyway how is the efficiency using this "recursion" approach?

lyxal

The parser only turns code tokens into AST objects. Sure, you can store all visited names in a data structure and make sure all names are valid, but in a golfing language, that typically isn't needed.

SketchySketch

thanks

btw i think 05AB1E implements for-loops in basically the same way so efficiency would probably be fine

LDQ For slicing, is it better do do slice(start,end) or slice(start,length) for a golfing language

Radvylf Programs

I think they'd probably be about equally useful, but start, end is going to be more familiar

mousetail

exclusive end or inclusive end?

Radvylf Programs

Exclusive ofc

mousetail

I was told normal range should be inclusive

Radvylf Programs

Ewww wtf

Exclusive makes things so much more convenient in so many places

With exclusive, if you want to do start, length, you can just do start, start + length. With inclusive, you need a - 1

Those little off-by-one inefficiencies literally appear all the time, and almost never in reverse

Plus with modular indixing (or just Python-style negative indices), you can do .slice(..., -1) to exclude the last element, whereas with inclusive it's -2 which is weird, and slicing to the last n elements you need to do -n - 1

mousetail

14:29

The idea was to avoid needing to do range(1,length+1) everywhere, since most challenges involving ranges start at 1

Radvylf Programs

You should have that as a second range built-in

Ash had like six of them. That's overkill, but you can afford 2

mousetail

arrays will probably be 1-indexed so I can reserve 0 for "not found" for indexing etc.

Radvylf Programs

Oh then 1, inclusive makes sense yeah

@RadvylfPrograms after further review of Complement's syntax, I have concluded that: I∈O is undefined behavior, I=O is probably an error, and I⇔O is a valid cat program

Radvylf Programs

16:14

Why is I=O an error

And what is ⇔

Ginger

⇔ means either "if and only if" or "is equivalent to"

Radvylf Programs

Not for sets though, right?

And why would = be different from ⇔

Ginger

I=O is an error because in that context it's assignment; you'd be trying to assign stdout to stdin, which cannot be assigned to

Radvylf Programs

Do sets have a distinction between "equals" and "is equivalent to"?

@Ginger Why is = assignment, why do you even have assignment

parz

@RadvylfPrograms what kind of madman table was that

Ginger

16:17

@RadvylfPrograms because Complement programs are not limited to one expression

Radvylf Programs

@parz It's 05AB1E's SBCS, listing the 256 characters it uses and how they map to bytes

Ginger

you can assign the result of an expression to a variable and use it in later expressions

Radvylf Programs

@Ginger Sure but how is that relevant

@Ginger Wouldn't = do that anyway?

parz

@RadvylfPrograms that makes more sense

Ginger

@RadvylfPrograms yes, that's what I'm saying

Radvylf Programs

16:18

You're thinking too imperatively

Assignment and equality are identical

I=O would not be an error

I have a... question? Maybe. I'm one of those people who still plays wordle and I am stuck... so I thought of what might be an interesting Code Golf but I thought I'd ask what y'all thought or if you'd seen something similar in the past. Essentially, it'd be a tool that takes the known "correct" letters and the remaining unguessed letters and spits out all of the possible iterations. To be less "cheat-y" it wouldn't have to remove the ones that aren't valid words, just list all strings.

Radvylf Programs

IIRC we've had a few wordle-solver type challenges

Catija

So, the input would be two-fold, the known green letters and the unguessed letters. And the necessary output would be all possible permutations?

I looked at wordle questions but I only found four, that mention "wordle" specifically.

Radvylf Programs

Yeah, you're right, there don't seem to be any that work like that

Adám

So it is the same as listing all permutations of a given set, only with the added, but unrelated, complication that they have to be merged into a template of already green letters?

Catija

Maybe? Not sure.

Is it better if I make it specific (solves only a particular example) or general (solves any example)?

Radvylf Programs

19:38

I can think of a few approaches you could take (generating all permutations then filtering based on the green letters, or filling in the green ones and finding permutations of the remaining spaces, etc.), could be an interesting challenge

Adám

@Catija I'd definitely go general, but make sure to use the sandbox.

Catija

And the fun part is that the green ones are technically still options - because you haven't necessarily eliminated them from be doubled.

Radvylf Programs

@Catija General is typically better. If the challenge is for a specific instance of the problem, there's no good way to keep people from just finding the answer themselves then hardcoding it in some subtle way

Also, not cheat so much as... save me from writing it all out on my own.

Radvylf Programs

Another possible input method is a list of words annotated in some way with the colors of their letters

You might want to allow that

Catija

20:28

Ah, yeah. I guess that seems more complicated but maybe better for cases where there's a longer set of unguessed letters...

Radvylf Programs

Partial solution (JS):

(g,y,u)=>(c=a=>a+a?a[0].flatMap(b=>c(a.slice(1)).map(x=>[b,...x])):[[]])([0,1,2,3,4].map(i=>g[i]?[g[i]]:[..."abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"].filter(a=>!y[i].includes(a))))

Problem is, it doesn't account for all 5 letters being individually guessed already

Adám

@Catija I've done that: I had an optimisation problem while solving a code golf, so I wrote a code-golf for that…

Catija

HAHAHAHA

That's very meta.

We should be able to math the number of results, though... if we know how many letters are known and how many possible letters remain and the positions for them, we should be able to verify that the answer set includes all possible solutions?

@RadvylfPrograms Takes input as [null, "o", null, "e", "n"], [[], [], ["n"], [], []]

@cairdcoinheringaahing Cool!

As to whether it's useful, after I created my table, I was able to go through the entire list and make the right guess, so it did actually do what I needed it to do... but it'd be nice if it wasn't such a manual process for me.

... So is my question good enough yet? :P

caird coinheringaahing

I'm leaving some feedback on the sandbox post right now, but overall, it looks pretty good, especially for a first challenge :P

Catija

YAY :D

caird coinheringaahing

It's implied, but just to be clear: all "words" in the output are exactly 5 letters, right?

Catija

Yes. It follows the standard Wordle rules.

I updated the standard rules section to note that.

caird coinheringaahing

22:24

Honestly, my biggest point of feedback is the input/output rules. The challenge itself looks well-specified, but it has the same issue we get a lot when people adapt an actual issue into a challenge: the input format/method they want is restrictive for their task, but we heavily encourage loose formats

Tho, nice catch on the case insensitivity part, that's a classic trap for word/letter based challenges :P

DLosc

@Catija It's also recommended to leave the challenge in the sandbox for a few days (and maybe ask again in TNB for final feedback before posting it)

Catija

Cool. I've made those changes. I'll check back in a few days :D

It bugs me that tenor gifs don't work... and of course, giphy doesn't have the one I want.

@cairdcoinheringaahing Is Code Golf the best for this case or does fastest running make more sense, since it seems like getting an answer sooner might be better?

emanresu A

There you go

Catija

Thanks :D

I guess it's just the short links that don't work.

caird coinheringaahing

@Catija Code golf is the easiest scoring critieria for this. Stuff like fastest-code are generally harder to write, as, to score them objectively, you have to run each submission under the same conditions, on the same device

Catija

Ah, that makes sense... and I'm guessing none of y'all use a mac. :P

caird coinheringaahing

22:36

fastest-code or similar could work, it's just a lot more effort for your first challenge

@Catija I did, but it broke, and I couldn't afford a new one :P

Catija
