So, if this challenge isn't a dupe, why can't I just copy the 30-language answer from The versatile integer printer and post it?
 
totallyhuman
totallyhuman
you can but that's not the point
 
HyperNeutrino
HyperNeutrino
@ppperry Then I might as well write a polyglot/otherwise answer that can solve every single challenge and close everything as a dupe of the same challenge?
 
ppperry

that answer wouldn't win
because it would by definition be longer than things that just solve that challenge.

But you can't just copy them over, I'm pretty sure it's not allowed

Found something interesting on the OEIS today: 3 is prime, but so is 2^3 + 29 (37), and also 2^37 + 29 (137438953501), but is 2^137438953501 + 29 prime?
 
Mayube
Mayube
and also create a conditional that skips everything else
at the end of the program, the stack si empty, so it prints 0

@totallyhuman Let me explain
@totallyhuman I am not sure if it works if the input is 'l(s%s,input())'
 
totallyhuman

hmm
i can't test that because levenshtein takes too long
 
Mr. Xcoder
Mr. Xcoder
It just never ends on my machine for any test case, just want to check.

oh ye

@totallyhuman (like nothing terminates on my machine)
 
totallyhuman
totallyhuman
that's why the test case in TIO is two characters long
 
Mr. Xcoder
Mr. Xcoder
@totallyhuman Not even def terminates. I suggest you to s/quite/extremely
 
totallyhuman

:P
 
Mr. Xcoder
Mr. Xcoder
It terminated :)))

@Mr.Xcoder def terminates on TIO

yeah levenshtein is hard
thankfully i didn't have to do any of the work
:P

TIL that there's a Python Levenshtein library lol

Mr. Xcoder
Mr. Xcoder
I saw

actually i shall write an ungolfed levenshtein implementation
'cause why not
 
Mr. Xcoder

I wonder how many times I've linked to the wrong one...
"Entirely nonsensical rationales for short code length" (the reason I posted that meta question) now has +31/-32

Yeah. It was clever back when, but now it's just annoying.
