The starman is sustained by the stars we give him.

Anybody here acquainted with the shunting-yard algorithm?

El'endia Starman

That maybe sounds vaguely familiar.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Shunting-yard algorithm

In computer science, the shunting-yard algorithm is a method for parsing mathematical expressions specified in infix notation. It can be used to produce output in Reverse Polish notation (RPN) or as an abstract syntax tree (AST). The algorithm was invented by Edsger Dijkstra and named the "shunting yard" algorithm because its operation resembles that of a railroad shunting yard. Dijkstra first described the Shunting Yard Algorithm in the Mathematisch Centrum report MR 34/61. Like the evaluation of RPN, the shunting yard algorithm is stack-based. Infix expressions are the form of mathematical notation...

I need help

:|

El'endia Starman

Funny, I'll be doing something like this soonish for Pytek. I'll probably end up solving the problem a slightly different way.

Okay, ask away.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I've implemented it in JavaScript, but the problem is that functions must have a fixed arity.

I want to include the number of arguments passed to a function on the resulting stack, but I don't see how to do this.

(So that I can have an n-ary function)

El'endia Starman

Maybe the first argument to a function could be it's arity?

It might help to have a concrete example to work off of.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Oh! Okay.

max(3,4,5) => 3 4 5 3 max

sum(10,3,20,30) => 10 3 20 30 4 sum

El'endia Starman

Yeah, that could work...

feersum

8:30 PM

I used this algorithm a couple of times, but not with functions like f(a,b,c,...)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Except I don't know how to obtain the arity.

feersum

As long as you don't use the comma for any thing else, you could have it be an operator that builds an array of arguments.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Tell me more?

Ohhhhh

That's brilliant

I could have "max(3,4,5)" => [ "3", "4", ",", "5", ",", "max" ] and parse , as "build an array of two element, and flatten"

Thanks so much! :D

feersum

yw

I while back I rewrote the parser of Snails to use this algorithm. It allows unmatched opening or closing parentheses which are matched implicitly, but this algorithm worked with little modification.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

That's pretty cool.

feersum

8:38 PM

What I did have to do is insert a bunch of extra tokens first, because the concatenation operator is implicit.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Huh

VoteToClose

TIL there's a country called "Reunion".

Alex A.

@Mego I disagree. I think if someone is willing to go to such lengths to game the system, they're most likely firmly planted on the site and intend to stick around. Otherwise what's the point of cheating?

@quartata I don't think we should rush it. I think there are things that should still be sorted out before we graduate. Everything in Martin's "we're not a Q&A site" post, for example.

VoteToClose

We are professional unprofessionals.

El'endia Starman

@trichoplax Hmm, yes, but most of these things are near impossible without rewriting the underlying software from scratch (or at least heavily modifying it).

trichoplax

@El'endiaStarman I don't know which ones are realistic but a lot of them can be excused by "we're still in beta". As a graduated site I'd expect them to have a greater impact on the reputation of SE in general.

El'endia Starman

Mmm, point.

trichoplax

I'm actually much more excited about our increased question rate and the positive activity on meta recently, than dropping the "beta"

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

9:05 PM

^ me too

Alex A.

@El'endiaStarman We're not clear at this point which if any of these can be implemented, but Stack Exchange is aware that we're compiling this list and has said that making the changes (the feasible ones, anyway) wouldn't necessarily have to wait for graduation.

trichoplax

In that case I'd definitely prefer to see the improvements than the debetafication.

El'endia Starman

Actually, y'know what, I take back what I said. s/most/a few/. They'd definitely require focused dev effort, though.

Especially renaming "question" to "challenge".

Alex A.

@trichoplax I'm more looking forward to changes that differentiate us from the other Q&A sites because, well, we aren't a Q&A site.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Instead of "Ask question", it should be "Post challenge"

El'endia Starman

9:07 PM

"Pose a challenge"

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Like on the userscript :3

Alex A.

Porpoise

trichoplax

@AlexA. Yes this is very true - I've got so used to seeing (and saying) "question" that I've become desensitised to it. I expect things would be a lot easier for new starters if things were more consistent with being a challenge site.

Alex A.

I don't really care about the beta label, the design, or anything like that. I care more about making sure that the site makes sense and that it continues to thrive and be a good place to learn and have fun.

Thing is, "unfair" is inherently subjective. I'm not sure how well a rule like this would work on a site that's built around empirical and clear-cut rules. This isn't a problem for, say, question closure, but since there's no "vote for whether this answer is valid or not," a non-objective rule for answer validity is dubious at best. — Doorknob ♦ 7 secs ago
