The Nineteenth Byte

10:10 PM

I think so. Why?

wait maybe not

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ fixed

@EasterlyIrk what is?

oh

@EasterlyIrk Are hash functions allowed?

Can we use a function?

Can the submission be a function

Also why are hash functions not allowed

yes

and i misread that

@quartata isn't function allowed by default?

They are

But I'm just checking

10:14 PM

cool, edited.

eh, i don't know about the hash function.

That trivializes it.

Actually, I'm not sure what the meta on that is

Because theoretically it might not work

@EasterlyIrk That's a dupe.

@Zgarb Yeah, I just noticed

Search for "self-identifying program"

I looked but couldn't find.

Zgarb

(I'm on mobile)

What is?

oh! thanks :)

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Technically f=x=>f==x is valid

eyyy looks like I win :P

10:19 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ if you'd like to help with edge-case testing, in the C9, add a testcase in test.js and run node test.js, to test the test cases. If the results look really weird, then you've found a bug!

@Downgoat cool!

@quartata No, because f is a function and x is a string.

yes

yes

ninja'ed

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ But JS's stupid type coercion will actually coerce f to a string

It's one of the answers to the dupe target though :P

10:20 PM

nope, doesn't work.

@quartata No, it won't.

function f(s){return s==f}
undefined
f("function f(s){return s==f}")
true
f("asdf")
false

Q: Write a narcissist program!

New Main Posts

A narcissist program is simple. It is related to a quine. If the input is equal to it's source code, it prints a truthy value, if not it prints a falsy one. That is it. Rules: It can't read it's own file. This is code-golf, so the shortest answer wins. Hash functions are not allowed. This ...

code-golf quine

10:21 PM

Oh, that's different.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Not really, I just did it without an arrow function because I don't have ES6

@EasterlyIrk yes can take a string to repeat as an argument

@quartata There's a difference though.

f=x=>f==x
x=>f==x
f("f=x=>f==x")
false

arrow function != named function

10:22 PM

@NewMainPosts can I haz accept?

in 2 min

I did try.

kk :3

30 seconds

I suppose it matches the function body which is... close enough?

Hm

nope

NOT GOOD ENOUGH

5 seconds

10:23 PM

You should probably post your answer on the dupe target and delete the other one, at any rate

DONE!!! :P

\o/

@quartata Oh, true

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ now has 15 moar rep.

Feel happy.

I don't think there's a proper ES6 answer on the other one

@quartata There is

10:24 PM

ninja'ed

There is?

dangit ninja ninjaed

@QPaysTaxes called a ninja

wait no

OPTIMIZER MESSED UP

Yeah, that's what I noticed lmao

A: Write the shortest self-identifying program (a quine variant)

0

JavaScript ES6, 16 bytes $=_=>_==`$=${$}` This is the proper way to do it, as Optimizer's answer does not accept the entire source code.

It has been fixed.

10:26 PM

I guess people didn't test his?

80 rep from mortarboard. Can I make it in two hours?

Not a lot of people have ES6 so

@quartata No need to test, his own test case invalidates his answer.

10:42 PM

TIL about JS's ===.

That makes comparison a little better

@quartata you are never supposed to actually use == in JavaScript

the code reviewers will slap you with a trout if you do

I see it in professional code all the time :P

== is golfier

I hear it's okay when you know the types of two things are equal.

@QPaysTaxes o_o

@QPaysTaxes that sounds like something I would do after using C for a long time

10:46 PM

@QPaysTaxes oh gosh

@Maltysen can you vote on tag synonyms?

codegolf.stackexchange.com/tags/king-of-the-hill/synonyms

El'endia Starman

@QPaysTaxes Actually, I'd guess about half of us are "professional" coders, and you can't really say that golfed code is awful because that's a given.

@QPaysTaxes i know

that's equals in java, but C only has compareTo

He could have just used intended.

I assume he was avoiding the 50 char limit, but the ellipsis are just stupid.

30 rep till mortarboard :D

should ++ have any behavior when used as an infix op?

@QPaysTaxes code-golf, code-challenge, koth, pop-con

@QPaysTaxes e.g. a ++ b. I'm making a language so I'm wondering if ++ (used for incrementing), should do anything when used as an infix operator.
