The Nineteenth Byte

12:00 AM

I had one but I didn't write it down so now I've forgotten it :(

Welcome to the 17th Biweekly Mini Golf. During this event, we'll post some CMCs (Chat Mini Challenges) for you all to solve. A new one will be added every 5 to 10 minutes. Feel free to keep suggesting drafts during the event. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Good luck!

I might repost chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/59879889#59879889 because I think it's quite an interesting (if simple) challenge and I only got one or two responses last time

Q: An ASCII self-referential sequence

The sequence A109648 starts with the following numbers 53, 51, 44, 32, 53, 49, 44, 32, 52, 52, 44, 32, 51, 50, 44, 32, 53, 51, 44, 32, 52, 57, 44, 32, 52, 52, 44, 32, 51, 50, 44, 32, 53, 50, 44, 32, 53, 50, 44, 32, 52, 52, 44, 32, 51, 50, 44, 32, 53, 49, 44, 32, 53, 48, 44, 32, 52, 52, 44, 32, 51...

AIDraft: Write a function that takes a string and returns a string with all vowels removed.

@NewPosts @Bubbler do you deliberately post around 0 UTC every day?

12:02 AM

If you want to repcap, its the best time to do so

pxeger

true, I hadn't considered that

caird coinheringaahing

@emanresuA do we have to handle both upper and lower case?

Bubbler

Well, it's the best time for me to post a challenge, IRL and also that

pxeger

Is y a vowel?

emanresu A

I'ma say no

(to both)

AICMC: Given 2 lists, add them elementwise to create a new list

caird coinheringaahing

Jelly, +

Bubbler

@emanresuA APL: ~∘'aeiou'

caird coinheringaahing

@emanresuA Jelly, 3 bytes Try it online!

Bubbler

@lyxal Same lengths or possibly different lengths?

caird coinheringaahing

Its the same length to handle any case + y

lyxal

12:04 AM

@Bubbler same

AICMC: Given a string of odd length greater 3, return the mid three chars.

@lyxal Scala: _ zip _ map(_+_)

lyxal

AICMC: Given an array of strings, return the string such that it has all unique characters

Bubbler

no zipwith?

user

In Scala? No :(

I'm not sure why, it feels like it should be included, and it wouldn't be all that hard to implement

Normally, one uses a.lazyZip(b).map(f)

Bubbler

@lyxal This one is really underspecified lol

pxeger

12:08 AM

@Bubbler I interpret it as "return the first string whose uniquified length is the same as its normal length"

user

Wait no I'm dumb

lyxal

@Bubbler what do you mean? It's just find the string in a list of strings, such that the returned string has all unique letters. It's guaranteed there'll only be one string

Bubbler

Oh ok

lyxal

AICMC: Find the longest word in a string and return it as an array (exclude punctuation/special char). Ex:: "how now brown cow?" -> ["brown"]. Words are considered to be separated by spaces

Something like as,klZ is consider 5 letters and 1 word

Unrelated String

@NewPosts Bit disappointed I can't do s=53:drop 2(fromEnum<$>show s) in Haskell for this (since it doesn't show with the spaces)

pxeger

12:13 AM

@UnrelatedString if show did work, I think you could just do 5:tail(...)

user

Scala: _ filter(c=>c.isLetter|c==32)split " "maxBy(_.size)

emanresu A

Help, Jelly's cursed

grandBagel

@emanresuA what does that do?

Unrelated String

i think it's repeating the 3

is this what you meant

emanresu A

Oh, thanks :)

Q: Shortest way to remove the first and last element of a list and print both

The challenge is simple: Print the first and last element of a list and print them Rules: You will take only 1 line of input, and that is the list (e.g. [1, 5, 6, 4, 2]) You have to print everything into STDOUT (e.g. 12) with no spaces in between the output characters A simple example is print(...
