[Question]
[
Let's have a list of positive integers
```
[6,1,9,3,7,4,6,3,2,7,6,6]
```
this will represent a river. We would like to skip a stone across this river. We can throw the stone as far as we want and whatever number it lands on it will skip that many places. So if we start by throwing it 2 spaces, it will land on the `1` skip forward one place, land on the `9` skip forward 9 places, land on the final 6 and skip out of the river.
```
[6,1,9,3,7,4,6,3,2,7,6,6]
^
[6,1,9,3,7,4,6,3,2,7,6,6]
^
[6,1,9,3,7,4,6,3,2,7,6,6]
^
```
The question for us is: "How do we throw the stone so it skips the largest number of times?" In the above case `2` skips 3 times and indeed we can see that this is the optimum.
Here's all the ways to throw the stone with the number of skips labeled:
```
[6,1,9,3,7,4,6,3,2,7,6,6]
2 3 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 1 1 1
```
## Task
Given a list of positive integers as input output the maximum skips that can be achieved on that river.
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'") so the goal is to make your source code as small as possible as measured in bytes.
## Test cases
```

We turn the input array into a list of number of skips for each starting point, using the recursive callback function `g`:
```
g = ( // g is a recursive function taking:
v, // v = value at the current position
i // i = current position
) => //
v && // abort if v is undefined
-~g( // otherwise increment the result of a recursive call:
a[i += v], // add v to i and pass a[i] as the new value
i // pass the new position
) // end of recursive call
```
We then return the maximum of this list.

We think of it as a graph problem.
Consider `1 1 9 1 1`
* `]+#\` Add `1 2 3 4 5` to the input:
```
2 3 12 5 6
```
* `#\=/` Create an equality table showing where that is equal to `1 2 3 4 5`:
```
1 2 3 4 5

This is the adjacency of matrix of the directed graph showing connections between the indices.
* `[:+./ .*^:a:~` "OR" matrix multiply that graph with itself until we reach a fixed point, saving intermediate steps:

### How?
Unfortunately, while `Ḣ` pops off and yields the head of a list it affects the original list given to `ÐƤ` (for suffixes of the list) as well as the suffix being dealt with at the time and so affects the remaining suffixes. Without the popping we need to increment for `ṫ` (tail from) to do the correct thing so I've incremented all elements, tailed from each of those and then kept the head of those lists. Maybe there is a better way to do this challenge that will take less bytes...?
```
ṫ‘ḢƊƬÐƤẈṀ_2 - Link: list of integers, River
ÐƤ - for each suffix of River:
Ƭ - collect input values while distinct, applying:
Ɗ - last three links as a monad:
‘ - increment all values
·π´ - tail (vectorises, so tail at from incremented value)
·∏¢ - head (the list that used the first incremented value)
Ẉ - length of each
Ṁ - maximum
_2 - subtract two (the final [] and the 0 that heading [] (or 0) yields)
```

This one is 13 bytes, but maybe the idea can lead to a shorter solution?

Starting from the end (which is the top of the stack since I used the `-r` flag), computes the number of skips from each position as 1 more than the previously calculated number of skips from its destination. The implicit zeros on the right stack account for the initial running maximum and number of skips from positions beyond the river.
In each iteration, the left stack has the positions not handled yet, and the right stack has the running maximum on top, followed by the number of skips from already handled positions.

‚Üì Get the suffixes of the input list
{ }¨ Apply this function to each of them:
⟨⟩:0 If the argument is an empty list, return 0
; Else:
ùï© Take the argument
⊸↓ Drop a number of elements from it

For example, with input `⟨1,1,9,1,1⟩`, the suffixes are `⟨⟨1,1,9,1,1⟩, ⟨1,9,1,1⟩, ⟨9,1,1⟩, ⟨1,1⟩, ⟨1⟩, ⟨⟩⟩`. When the inner function is called with the suffix `⟨1,9,1,1⟩`:
* `⟨1,9,1,1⟩` is not empty, so drop the first 1 element and recurse
+ `⟨9,1,1⟩` is not empty, so drop the first 9 elements and recurse
- `⟨⟩` is empty, so return 0
+ Add 1 to 0 and return 1
* Add 1 to 1 and return 2
This is the number of skips that are possible starting from the second 1 in the original list.

[Question]
[
Write a program that takes in an odd length string containing only the characters `.` and `:`. With the aid of an initially empty [stack](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_%28abstract_data_type%29), generate a number from this string as follows:
For every character *c* in the string (going from left to right)...
* If *c* is `.` and the stack has less than 2 elements, push 1 on the stack.
* If *c* is `.` and the stack has 2 or more elements, pop the two top values off the stack and push their sum onto the stack.
* If *c* is `:` and the stack has less than 2 elements, push 2 on the stack.
* If *c* is `:` and the stack has 2 or more elements, pop the two top values off the stack and push their product onto the stack.
The resulting number is the value at the top of the stack. Your program should print this number to stdout (with an optional trailing newline).
(A little analysis shows that there is only ever one number left unless the string has even length, which is why we are ignoring those. In fact, the stack never has more than 2 elements.)
For example, the number for `::...:.:.` is 9:
```
2 1 2 2 /______ stack just after the character below is handled
2 2 4 4 5 5 7 7 9 \
: : . . . : . : . <-- string, one character at a time
```
As a sanity check, here are the numbers for all strings of length 1, 3, and 5:
```
. 1
: 2
... 2
..: 1
.:. 3
.:: 2
:.. 3
:.: 2
::. 4
::: 4
..... 3
....: 2
...:. 4
...:: 4
..:.. 2
..:.: 1
..::. 3

:.::: 4
::... 5
::..: 4
::.:. 6
::.:: 8
:::.. 5
:::.: 4
::::. 6
::::: 8
```
**The shortest program in bytes wins. Tiebreaker is earlier post.**
* You may assume the input is always valid, i.e. a string containing only `.` and `:` whose length is odd.
* Instead of writing a program, you may write a function that takes in a valid string and prints or returns the generated number.

Nice!, now we just subtract 1 for the stack size condition to get the indexes `0, 1, 2 and 3` and use a `5` length array (`"1+2* "`) as a switch case. The last space is just a filler to make it of length 5. This is just 1 extra byte as compared to modding operation.
```
q{ }/ e# parse each input character in this loop
i] e# convert '. or ': into ASCII code and wrap everything
e# in stack in an array
_,+ e# Copy the stack array, take its length and add the length to
e# the stack array
~3< e# unwrap the stack array and check if stack size is less than 3
e# 3 because either . or : is also on stack
- e# subtract 0 or 1 based on above condition from ASCII code
"1+2* " e# string containing the operation to perform

We only use 2 cells of our stack.
Start putting a value in s[0].
Then, at each odd position (counting from 0) in the input string, put a value in s[1].
At each even position, exec a calc (add or multiply) and store result in s[0].
So forget about the stack and use just 2 variables, a and b.
```
f=s=>[...s].map((c,i)=>(c=c>'.',i&1?b=1+c:i?c?a*=b:a+=b:a=1+c))|a
```
A quick test
```
for(i=0;i<128;i++)
{
b=i.toString(2).replace(/./g,v=>'.:'[v]).slice(1)
if(b.length&1) console.log(b,f(b))

# [Retina](https://github.com/mbuettner/retina), ~~105~~ ~~75~~ 73 bytes
My first Retina program! *(Thanks to Martin Büttner for saving 2 bytes, not to mention inventing the language in the first place.)*
Each line should go in a separate file; or, you can put them all in one file and use the `-s` flag. The `<empty>` notation represents an empty file/line.
```
^(a+;)?\.
$1a;
^(a+;)?:
$1aa;
;(a+;)\.
$1
(a+);aa;:
$1$1;
)`;a;:
;
;
<empty>
a
1
```
Inspired by [mbomb007's answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/57895/16766), but I take a somewhat different approach. One major difference is that I build the stack in front of the dotty string (with the top of the stack facing right). This makes it easy to convert symbols to the corresponding numbers in-place. I also use `a` instead of `1`, swapping it out only at the end, to avoid parsing ambiguity in sequences like `$1a`. If an answer like `aaaaaa` is acceptable as a unary number, the last two lines/files could be eliminated to save 4 bytes.
### Explanation:
```
^(a+;)?\.
$1a;
```
Matches if there are 0 or 1 items on the stack (`(a+;)?`) followed by a period (`\.`); if so, it replaces the period with `a;` (i.e. pushes a 1).
```
^(a+;)?:(.*)
$1aa;$2
```
Matches if there are 0 or 1 items on the stack followed by a colon. If so, it replaces the colon with `aa;` (i.e. pushes a 2).
```
;(a+;)\.
$1
```
Matches if there are two items on the stack followed by a period. Deletes the period and the semicolon between the items, thereby adding them.
```
(a+);aa;:
$1$1;
```
Matches if there are two items on the stack, the top of which is a 2, followed by a colon. Deletes the colon and the 2 and repeats the other number twice, thereby multiplying it by 2.
```
)`;a;:
;
```
The regex matches if there are two items on the stack, the top of which is a 1, followed by a colon. Deletes the colon and the 1, leaving the other number unchanged (i.e. multiplied by 1).
`)`` indicates the end of a loop. If any changes were made to the string, control returns to the top of the program and runs the substitutions again. If the string has stopped changing, we've replaced all the periods and colons, and all that's left is cleanup...
```
;
<empty>
```
Deletes the leftover semicolon.
```
a
1
```
Transforms all the a's into 1's. Again, if unary numbers are allowed to use any symbol, this step is unnecessary.

TI-BASIC is good at one-liners, because closing parentheses are optional; conversely, it is a poor language where storing multiple values is required because storing to a variable takes two to four bytes of space. Therefore, the goal is to write as much on each line as possible. TI-BASIC is also awful (for a tokenized language) at string manipulation of any kind; even reading a substring is lengthy.
Tricks include:
* `int(e^([boolean]` instead of `1+(boolean`; saves one byte
* Partial sum of a list instead of list slicing (which would require storing into a list): saves 3 bytes

```
Here's an interesting trick I used in this one. You can shave off a character in an if/else statement by having them return a value that is immediately discarded, which means you only need one semicolon instead of two.
For example,
```
if foo {
a = 42;
} else {
doSomething(b);
}
```
can be changed into
```
if foo {
a = 42
} else {
doSomething(b)
};
```
which saves a character by shaving off a semicolon.

# APL (50)
I'm at a great disadvantage here, because APL is not a stack-based language. I finally got to abuse reduction to shorten the program, though.
```
{⊃{F←'.:'⍳⍺⋄2>⍴⍵:F,⍵⋄((⍎F⌷'+×')/2↑⍵),2↓⍵}/(⌽⍵),⊂⍬}
```
The inner function takes a 'command' on the left and a stack on the right, and applies it, returning the stack. The outer function reduces it over the string, starting with an empty stack.
Explanation:
* `(⌽⍵),⊂⍬`: the initial list to reduce over. `⊂⍬` is a boxed empty list, which represents the stack, `(⌽⍵)` is the reverse of the input. (Reduction is applied right-to-left over the list, so the string will be processed right-to-left. Reversing the input beforehand makes it apply the characters in the right order.)
* `{`...`}`: the inner function. It takes the stack on the right, a character on the left, and returns the modified stack.
+ `F←'.:'⍳⍺`: the index of the character in the string `.:`, this will be 1 or 2 depending on the value.
+ `2>⍴⍵:F,⍵`: If 2 is larger than the current stack size, just append the current value to the stack.
+ `⋄`: otherwise,
- `2↓⍵`: remove the top two items from the stack
- `(`...`)/2↑⍵`: reduce a given function over them, and add it to the stack.
- `⍎F⌷'+×'`: the function is either `+` (addition) or `×` (multiplication), selected by `F`.
* `⊃`: finally, return the topmost item on the stack

# Ruby - 96 chars
The sorta interesting piece here is `eval`.
Aside from that, I am making the assumption that after the first character, the stack will always go 2, math, 2, math, .... This lets me use less code by grabbing two chars at once - I never have to figure out whether a character is math or number. It's positional.
```
x,m=$<.getc>?.?2:1
(b,f=m.split //
b=b>?.?2:1
x=f ?eval("x#{f>?.??*:?+}b"):b)while m=gets(2)
p x
```
Ungolfed:
```
bottom_of_stack = $<.getc > '.' ? 2 : 1 # if the first char is ., 1, else 2
two_dots = nil
while two_dots = gets(2) do # get the next 2 chars
number_char, math_char = two_dots.split //
number = number_char > '.' ? 2 : 1
if math_char
math = math_char > '.' ? '*' : '+'
# so bottom_of_stack = bottom_of_stack + number ...
# or bottom_of_stack = bottom_of_stack * number
bottom_of_stack = eval("bottom_of_stack #{math} number")
else
# if there's no math_char, it means that we're done and
# number is the top of the stack
# we're going to print bottom_of_stack, so let's just assign it here
bottom_of_stack = number

@o=(0,'+','*');sub d{$_=shift;y/.:/12/;eval'('x s!\B(.)(.)!"$o[$2]$1)"!ge.$_}

expanded:
```
@o=(0, '+', '*');
sub d{
$_=shift;
y/.:/12/;
eval '(' x s!\B(.)(.)!"$o[$2]$1)"!ge.$_
}
```
The `@o` array maps digits to operators. Then we substitute pairs of digits with the appropriate operator, reordered to infix. The regexp begins with `\B` so we don't match the very first character. The result of `s///g` tells us how many open parens we need at the beginning. Then, when we've assembled the full infix expression, we can evaluate it. (Remove `eval` if you would like to see the expression instead).
Here's the test harness I used to verify the results:
```
while(<>) {
my ($a, $b) = m/(.*) (.*)/;
print d($a), " $b\n";

Input is the list of dotty expressions and their values (provided in the question) and output is pairs of {actual, expected}.

[Question]
[
The Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym, abbreviated [INTERCAL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTERCAL), is a very unique programming language. Among its unreproducible qualities are its binary operators.
INTERCAL's two binary operators are **interleave** (also known as **mingle**), and **select**. Interleave is represented with a change (¢), and select is represented with a sqiggle (~).
Interleave works by taking two numbers in the range 0-65535 and alternating their bits. For instance:
```
234 ¢ 4321
234 = 0000011101010
4321 = 1000011100001
Result: 01000000001111110010001001
Output: 16841865
```
Select works by taking two numbers in the range 0-65535, taking the bits in the first operand which are in the same position as 1s in the second operand, and right packing those bits.
```
2345 ~ 7245
2345 = 0100100101001
7245 = 1110001001101
Taken : 010 0 10 1
Result: 0100101
Output: 37
```
In this challenge, you will be given a binary expression using either the interleave or select operation. You must calculate the result, using the fewest possible bytes.
The expression will be given as a space separated string, consisting of an integer in 0-65535, a space, either `¢` or `~`, a space, and an integer in 0-65535.
Input and output may be through any standard system (STDIN, function, command line, etc.). Standard loopholes banned.
Examples:
```
5 ¢ 6
54
5 ~ 6
2
51234 ¢ 60003
4106492941
51234 ~ 60003
422
```
This is code golf - fewest bytes wins. Good luck.
EDIT: Since some languages do not support INTERCAL's change (¢) symbol, you may use the big money ($) symbol instead, at a 5 byte penalty.

f=lambda a,b:a+b and(b%2+5&4-d)*f(a/2,b/2)+(a%2*2+b%2)/3**d

```
The string on the second line contains a single unprintable character `\x7d`, the next char after `~`.
All hopes of a nice, single lambda get crushed by the input format. There's probably a better way to read in input. Input like `"51234 ¢ 60003"` via STDIN.
The function `f` combines the following two recursive functions:
```
g=lambda a,b:a+b and 4*g(a/2,b/2)+a%2*2+b%2 # ¢
h=lambda a,b:a+b and(b%2+1)*h(a/2,b/2)+a*b%2 # ~

# C, ~~127~~ 123 bytes + 5 penalty = 128
`scanf` counts the unicode symbol as more than one character which complicates things a lot, so I'm applying the 5-byte penalty for using `$`.
```
a,b,q,x,i;main(){scanf("%d %c %d",&a,&q,&b);for(i=65536;i/=2;)q%7?x=x*4|a/i*2&2|b/i&1:b/i&1&&(x=x*2|a/i&1);printf("%u",x);}
```
The changes from the original version are:
-The test for $ or ~ has been revised from `q&2` to `q%7`. This reverses the true/false values, allowing the code for $ operator to go before the `:` which means a set of parentheses can be eliminated.
-The `i` loop now counts down in powers of 2 which is longer, but permits `>>` to be substituted by `/` and saves some parentheses.
**Original version 127 bytes**
```
a,b,q,x,i;
main(){
scanf("%d %c %d",&a,&q,&b);
for(i=16;i--;)
q&2?
b>>i&1&&(x=x*2|a>>i&1): // ~ operator. && used as conditional: code after it is executed only if code before returns truthy.
(x=x*4|(a>>i&1)*2|b>>i&1); // $ operator
printf("%u",x);
}
```
I went with a single loop with the conditionals inside to avoid the overhead of two loops. In both cases I rightshift the bits of the operands down to the 1's bit, and build up the result from the most significant to least significant bit, leftshifting the result (multiplying by 2 or 4) as I go.

`f` and `g` convert to/from base 2. `Riffle` does exactly what *interleave* is supposed to. I wanted to use `Select` for *select* but `Cases` is better unfortunately. The last line is a bit of trickery; spaces are changed to `~` which is Mathematica's infix operator, then the string is eval'd.

`c` is `interleave`, and `s` is `select`.
## Explanations
### Interleave
```
func c(a,b uint)(o uint){ // init return value in `o` with zero value
for i:=0;i<16;i++{ // for each bit (in the uint16)...
o|= // OR to `o`...
(a&1 // the last bit of `a`
<< // shifted left by
(2*i+1)) // the current bit * 2 + 1
| // OR-ed with
(b&1 // the last bit of `b`
<< // shifted left by
(2*i)) // the current bit * 2
a>>=1;b>>=1} // discard the last bit of `a` and `b`
return}
```
### Select
```
func s(a,b uint)(o uint){ // init return value in `o` with zero value
for i,j:=0,0;i<16;i++{ // for each bit (in the uint16)...
if b&1==1{ // if the current bit in `b` is 1...
o|= // OR to `o`...
a&1 // the last bit of `a`
<<j // shifted over by the number of 1s so far
;j++} // increment the number of 1s
a>>=1;b>>=1} // discard last bit of `a` and `b`
return}

[Question]
[
It's likely that anyone who used Twitter a couple of months ago would know about the 'Howdy! I'm the sheriff of X" meme. Where a simple image of a sheriff is drawn with emoji, and changes to fit a theme. So I thought it was time for the Sheriff of Code Golf. Here he is:
```
###
#####
###
###
###
#
#####
# # #
# # #
# # #
#
###
# #
# #
# #
# #
```
This one in particular has 'pixels' which are one character wide, and one character high. To generate him, the arguments will be 1 and 1.
What if he is to be wider than he is tall?
```

##########

######
######
##
##########

```
He's got a height of 1, but a width of 2.
---
# Rules:
* The challenge is to write code to draw your own Sheriff of Code Golf, in the fewest characters possible.
* Use any programming language your heart desires.
* Your code should take two arguments, both of which are integers, for the height and width of the Sheriff.
* The output should be composed of single white spaces for the background, and any other character(s) you choose for the Sheriff. (I've used hashes for the test cases, but it doesn't matter what you use).
* It should be possible for the height to be a negative integer, inverting the image.
* The width can be a negative integer, but because the image is symmetrical, it will be identical to it's positive value.
* Trailing white-spaces are irrelevant.
* If either argument is 0, that dimension is 'flattened' to a single row or column. The length of this line is the other argument multiplied by the height, or width of the Sheriff, respectively.
* If both arguments are 0, both lines are 'flattened', leaving a single positive character.
* Not essential, but please include a link to an online interpreter such as [tio.run](http://www.tio.run)
* The output should be a string, over multiple lines, or output to the console.

### How?
Only the left half of the sheriff is encoded as binary bitmasks, including the middle column:
```
##. 00011 3
###.. 00111 7
##. 00011 3
##. 00011 3
##. 00011 3
# 00001 1
###.. 00111 7
# # . 01001 9
# # . --> 10001 --> 17
# # . 10001 17
# 00001 1
##. 00011 3
# . 00100 4
# . 00100 4
# . 00100 4
# . 00100 4
```
Because there are only two values greater than \$9\$ and they're both equal to \$17\$, we can replace them with \$0\$ in order to have one character per row and still have a rather straightforward decoding process. Hence the packed string:
```
'3733317900134444'
```
For \$0 \le x \le 8\$ and \$0 \le y \le 15\$, the 'pixel' at \$(x,y)\$ is given by:
```
' #'[ // character lookup:
( // 0 = space
( // 1 = '#'
c = +'3733317900134444'[y] || 17 // extract the bitmask for this row; 0 -> 17
) >> 4 - x // test the left part, middle column included
| c >> x - 4 // test the right part, middle column also included
) & 1 // isolate the least significant bit
] // end of character lookup
```

### How it works
*uniq* takes sorted input and performs one or several actions, depending on the command-line flags.
`U<<<$1` and `U<<<$2` call the function `U` with the first and second command-line argument as input. For each one, `sort -rn|uniq -u` is executed, sorting the input numerically (`-n`) and in descending order (`-r`) for *uniq*, which will print only unique lines (`-u`).
The output of both (unique elements of each array) is concatenated and piped to `U D`, i.e.,
`sort -rn|uniq -uD`. This time, *uniq* will only print duplicate lines (`-D`), and only the first repetition of each.
While the man page says it will print all repetitions, the added `-u` causes `-D` to print only the first occurrence of duplicated lines. This behavior is normally achieved with `uniq -d`.
Finally, `sed q` quits immediately, reducing its input (unique elements of both arrays) to its first line. Since the output was sorted in descending order, this is the maximum.

Takes input `$a` and `$b` as arrays. Constructs a `filter` that `group`s the input array elements together and pulls out only those with a `count` `-eq`ual to `1` (i.e., only those that are unique in the input array).
The next line then constructs the algorithm. First we `sort` `$a`, then pull out those that are `-in` the unique items of `$b`. Those are then themselves unique-ified, the largest `[-1]` is chosen, and we take the `.Name` thereof. That's left on the pipeline and output is implicit.

# How it works
`Tally@#` gives a list of the unique elements of the first input, together with their counts: e.g., `Tally[{2,2,2,6,3,5,8,2}]` yields `{{2,4},{6,1},{3,1},{5,1},{8,1}}`.
`Tally@#2` does the same for the second list, and `⋂` finds pairs present in both. Then we pick out (with `Cases`) pairs ending in `1`, taking the first element of each result, which gives us a list of all the unique twins. Finally, `Max` returns the largest unique twin.

`⎕` prompt for evaluated input from STDIN
`{`…`}⌸¨` for each list, call the following function for each unique element in that list, using the unique element as left argument (`⍺`) and the list of indices of its occurrence as right argument (`⍵`):
`≢⍵` the tally of indices (i.e. the number of occurrences)
`1=` equal to 1
`⍺⍴⍨` use that to reshape the specific element (i.e. gives empty list if non-unique)
Now we have two lists of unique elements for each input list (although each element is a list, and there are empty lists as residue from the non-unique elements).
`∩/` intersection (reduction)

`⌈/` max (reduction)

```
Declares an anonymous function that takes two vectors, eliminates duplicate elements, then finds the biggest element in the intersection of the results.
`A←⍺` and `B←⍵` store the arguments passed to the function in `A` and `B`.
`a=b` returns a vector with 1 in each index in which `a` is equal to `b`. If `a` is a scalar (i.e. single quantity and not a vector) this returns a vector with 1 wherever the element in `b` is `a` and 0 when it is not. For example:
```
Input: 1=1 2 3
Output: 1 0 0
```
`{+/⍵=A}`: nested anonymous function; find the occurrences of the argument in vector `A` and add them up i.e. find the number of occurrences of the argument in `A`
`1={+/⍵=A}¨A`: apply the nested anonymous function to each element in A and find the ones that equal 1 i.e. unique elements
`((1={+/⍵=A}¨A)/A←⍺)`: having found the *location* of the unique elements, select just these elements in the original vector (`/` selects from the right argument elements whose locations correspond to 1 in the left argument)
`R←((1={+/⍵=A}¨A)/A←⍺)∩(1={+/⍵=B}¨B)/B←⍵`: repeat the process for the second argument; now that we have just the unique elements, find the intersection i.e. common elements and store this in vector `R`
`R[⍒R]`: access the elements of `R` in decreasing order
`1↑R[⍒R]`: take the first element of `R` when it's sorted in decreasing order
Test case:
```
Input: 17 29 39 29 29 39 18 18 {1↑R[⍒R←((1={+/⍵=A}¨A)/A←⍺)∩(1={+/⍵=B}¨B)/B←⍵]} 19 19 18 20 17 18

How it works:
I start with testing where the two list overlap by `=/` (inserts equality test between all the members of the lists:
```
a =. 1 3 4 6 6 9
b =. 8 7 6 3 4 3
]c=. a =/ b
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 1 0 1
0 0 0 0 1 0
0 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
```
More than one 1 in the same column means that the number is not unique for the left argument (6 in this case); in the row - for the right argument (3)
Then I sum up all rows and all columns to find where are the duplicates:
```
+/ c
0 0 2 1 1 1
+/"1 c
0 2 1 1 1 0
```
I find the cartesian product of the above lists and set the members greater than 1 to 0.
```
m =. (+/"1 c) (1=*/) +/c
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 1 1 1
0 0 0 1 1 1
0 0 0 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 0 0
```
I mask the equality matrix c with m to find the unique elements that are common to both lists and multiply the left argument by this.
```
]l =. a * m * c
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 4 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
```
Then I flatten the list and find the max element:
```
>./,l
4
```

I took inspiration from @aloisdg's answer. However, instead of searching for unique values in both arrays, I inverted the order of operations so that `intersect` is first, and then find the max value of the items that occur twice when the arrays are concatenated and are in their intersect. I can use `<3` as `Count` will be at least 2 for any value, as it will be in both arrays.

The intersection (`intersect`) of the two results (`{:}`) is computed, and the maximum (`max(...)`) is taken.

[Question]
[
## Background
A **checkered tiling** of a rectangular grid is a tiling using some polyominoes, where each region can be colored either black or white so that no two polyominoes sharing an edge has the same color. In graph-theoretic terms, the [chromatic number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_coloring#Chromatic_number) of the adjacency graph is 2.
Terminology adapted from [a Fillomino variant recently posted on GMPuzzles](https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/2021/05/fillomino-checkered-by-serkan-yurekli/).
The following is an example of a checkered tiling, with a possible black-and-white coloring on the right:
```
+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+
|A A A|B|C| |X X X| |X|
+ +-+-+-+ + + +-+-+-+ +
|A|D D|C C| |X| |X X|
+-+-+ + +-+ +-+-+ + +-+
|E|F|D|C|G| | |X| |X| |
+ +-+-+-+ + + +-+-+-+ +
|E E|H|G G| | |X| |
+ + + +-+-+ + + + +-+-+
|E E|H H H| | |X X X|
+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+
```
The following is not a checkered tiling, because it is not possible to color E, H, I with two colors.
```
+-+-+-+-+-+
|A A A|B|C|
+ +-+-+-+ +
|A|D D|C C|
+-+-+ + +-+
|E|F|D|C|G|
+ +-+-+-+ +
|E E|H|G G|
+ +-+ +-+-+
|E|I|H H H|
+-+-+-+-+-+
```
## Task
Given a tiling, test if it is a checkered tiling.
A tiling can be input as a 2D array or string where each region is represented by a unique single alphanumeric character or integer. For example, the top array can be represented as
```
AAABC
ADDCC
EFDCG
EEHGG
EEHHH
```
or
```
[[0, 0, 0, 1, 2],
[0, 3, 3, 2, 2],
[4, 5, 3, 2, 6],
[4, 4, 7, 6, 6],
[4, 4, 7, 7, 7]]
```
For output, you can choose to
1. output truthy/falsy using your language's convention (swapping is allowed), or
2. use two distinct, fixed values to represent true (affirmative) or false (negative) respectively.

(Returns inverted truthy/falsy.)
-5 by using spread syntax.
Focus on the boundaries of the tiling.
Suppose the tiling is not checkered. Then there is an odd cycle in the adjacency graph. Draw the odd cycle by connecting adjacent squares' centres, like this:
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zu6oz.png)
Since the cycle is odd, the route crosses an odd number of boundaries.
Now divide the space enclosed by the route into small squares.
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/2ejNN.png)
Notice that the route's boundary-crossing count has the same parity as the sum of the squares' boundary-crossing counts. Thus at least one of the squares has an odd boundary-crossing count. It cannot be 1, so it must be 3, giving a T shape.
A regular expression is used to look for a T shape oriented as ┤ or ┴, and applied to a combination of the given string and its reverse to cover all four orientations. This relies on `.` not matching `\n` by default, and `!` not being a character used in the input.

## How it works:
The pattern is True if any of the following sub-pattern appears in the pattern :
```
AA Ax xy xA
xy Ay AA yA
```
We will then check each 2 by 2 sub-pattern.
* `for x,y in zip(a,a[1:])` allows me to iterate through 2 adjacent row at the same time
* `for i,j,k,l in zip(x,x[1:],y,y[1:])` define the 4 elements of our subpattern,
* `len({i,l}^{k,j})` do the mutual difference on the `2` diagonals (keeps only the elements which are not in both) and compute the length. This value is equal to 2 only for all the truthy sub-patterns (and for a case not possible geometricaly in this puzzle)
* `2in[ ... ]` verify that at least one of the subpatterns has his value equal to `2`

F Flatten the input rows.
Q Find unique characters (polyominos).
ŒP Get all subsets of the characters.
Z Get the columns of the input.

,Ɲ Get all overlapping pairs...
€ ...of each row/column. (Alternatively, ṡ€2.)
Ẏ Concatenate the lists of pairs.
Ðḟ Filter for pairs where...
E ...the elements are not equal.
þ For each subset/pair combination:
f Find items in the subset that are also in the pair.
L Take the length of the result.
Ḃ Take the length modulo 2.
This gives a 2D array where the outer index specifies
the pair and the inner index the subset.
P Take an elementwise product of the rows. This gives
1 for each subset that results in a product of 1.
Ẹ See if there are any subsets that produced a 1.

### Explanation
Essentially, the program tries all colorings of the tiling, and sees if there is a coloring for which all adjacent pairs have exactly one black tile.
`Q` is implicitly appended to the program and the input is read into `Q`.
```
sQ Concatenate the input rows.
{ Find unique characters in input.
y Take the powerset of these.
m For each subset d of the characters:
CQ Get the columns of the input.
+ Q Append the rows of the input.
.: 2 Get length-2 substrings...
R ...of each row/column.
s Concatenate the substring lists of rows/columns.
# Find substrings (pairs) that...
I ...stay the same when...
{ ...duplicates are removed.
m For each such pair k:
@dk Find the characters of k that are in d.
l Get the length of that.
- 1 Remove all ones from that array of lengths.
! True if the list is now empty.
s Sum the booleans in that list.

```
This basically tests each possible way of assigning each number either a 0 or 1 value, and determines whether the assignment keeps the number of boundaries constant (if two adjacent tiles are coloured the same, the boundary between them is removed).
M should take the form of an array of small positive integers (no zero or negatives).
This uses BitVectors - as it turns out, a bitvector is stored internally as an integer, so you can iterate through all combinations by incrementing the bitvector's internal representation (accessed as a "chunks" property of the variable).
**Ungolfed**:
```
function f(M)
# This is the function you use to determine whether the tiling is chequered.
x=trues(maximum(M)) #Initialise a bitarray, representing the assignment of tiles
while x[end] #Loop until the assignment of the last tile is changed
#from that point, all assignments are just bit-flips of the ones before!
if (diff(M,dims=1).!=0)==(diff(x[M],dims=1).!=0)
if (diff(M',dims=1).!=0)==(diff(x[M'],dims=1).!=0)
break #If both horizontal and vertical boundaries are retained...
#a successful tiling has been found!
end
end
x.chunks.+=1 #Move to the next tile assignment
end
return x[end] #x[end] is true if it finds a successful tiling
#but the loop ends if x[end] becomes false, indicating

[Question]
[
## The problem:
Given a non-empty set of points in the Cartesian plane, find the smallest circle that encloses them all ([Wikipedia link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem)).
This problem is trivial if the number of points is three or less (if there's one point, the circle has a radius of zero; if there are two points, the line segment that joins the points is the diameter of the circle; if there are three (non-colinear) points, it's possible to get the equation of a circle that touches them all if they form a non-obtuse triangle, or a circle that touches only two points and encloses the third if the triangle is obtuse). So, for the sake of this challenge, the number of points should be greater than three.
## The challenge:
* **Input:** A list of 4 or more non-colinear points. The points should have X and Y coordinates; coordinates can be floats. To ease the challenge, no two points should share the same X coordinate.
For example: `[(0,0), (2,1), (5,3), (-1,-1)]`
* **Output:** A tuple of values, `(h,k,r)`, such that \$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\$ is the equation of the smallest circle that encloses all points.
## Rules:
* You can choose whatever input method suits your program.
* Output should be printed to `STDOUT` or returned by a function.
* "Normal", general-purpose, languages are preferred, but any esolang is acceptable.
* You can assume that the points are not colinear.
* This is code-golf, so the smallest program in bytes wins. The winner will be selected one week after the challenge is posted.
+ Please include the language you used and the length in bytes as header in the first line of your answer: `# Language: n bytes`
## Test cases:
* 1:
+ Input: `[(-8,0), (3,1), (-6.2,-8), (3,9.5)]`
+ Output: `[-1.6, 0.75, 9.89]`
* 2:
+ Input: `[(7.1,-6.9), (-7,-9), (5,10), (-9.5,-8)]`
+ Output: `[-1.73, 0.58, 11.58]`
* 3:
+ Input: `[(0,0), (1,2), (3,-4), (4,-5), (10,-10)]`
+ Output: `[5.5, -4, 7.5]`
* 4:
+ Input: `[(6,6), (-6,7), (-7,-6), (6,-8)]`
+ Output: `[0, -0.5, 9.60]`
Happy golfing!!!

## How?
### Method
For each pair of points \$(A,B)\$, we generate the circle \$(X,Y,r)\$ whose diameter is \$AB\$.
$$X=\frac{A\_x+B\_x}{2},\;Y=\frac{A\_y+B\_y}{2},\;r=\sqrt{\left(\frac{A\_x-B\_x}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{A\_y-B\_y}{2}\right)^2}$$
For each triple of distinct points \$(A,B,C)\$, we generate the circle \$(X,Y,r)\$ which circumscribes the triangle \$ABC\$.
$$d=A\_x(B\_y-C\_y)+B\_x(C\_y-A\_y)+C\_x(A\_y-B\_y)$$
$$X=\frac{({A\_x}^2+{A\_y}^2)(B\_y-C\_y)+({B\_x}^2+{B\_y}^2)(C\_y-A\_y)+({C\_x}^2+{C\_y}^2)(A\_y-B\_y)}{2d}$$
$$Y=\frac{({A\_x}^2+{A\_y}^2)(C\_x-B\_x)+({B\_x}^2+{B\_y}^2)(A\_x-C\_x)+({C\_x}^2+{C\_y}^2)(B\_x-A\_x)}{2d}$$
$$r=\sqrt{(X-A\_x)^2+(Y-A\_y)^2}$$
For each generated circle, we test whether each point \$(x,y)\$ is enclosed within it:
$$\sqrt{(x-X)^2+(y-Y)^2}\le r$$
And we eventually return the smallest valid circle.
### Implementation
In the JS code, the formula to compute \$(X,Y)\$ for the triangle's circumscribed circle is slightly simplified. Assuming \$d\neq0\$, we define \$q={C\_x}^2+{C\_y}^2\$, leading to:
$$X=\frac{({A\_x}^2+{A\_y}^2-q)(B\_y-C\_y)+({B\_x}^2+{B\_y}^2-q)(C\_y-A\_y)}{2d}$$
$$Y=\frac{({A\_x}^2+{A\_y}^2-q)(C\_x-B\_x)+({B\_x}^2+{B\_y}^2-q)(A\_x-C\_x)}{2d}$$
This way, the helper function \$F\$ requires only two parameters \$(j,k)\$ to compute each coordinate:
* \$(B\_y-C\_y,\;C\_y-A\_y)\$ for \$X\$
* \$(C\_x-B\_x,\;A\_x-C\_x)\$ for \$Y\$
The third parameter used in \$F\$ (i.e. its actual argument \$s\$) is used to compute \$(X,Y)\$ when \$d=0\$, meaning that the triangle is degenerate and we have to try to use the diameter instead.

Accurate to 3-6 digits; the TIO footer rounds the output to 2 digits.
`nlm` takes a numeric vector as input: the `y%*%c(1,1i)` business converts it to a complex.

In contrast to [my Wolfram language answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/187318/42248), Jelly needs quite a lot of code to achieve this (unless I’m missing something!). This full program takes the list of points as its argument and returns the centre and radius of the smallest enclosing circle. It generates circumcircles for all sets of three points, and diameters for all sets of two points, checks which include all of the points and then picks the one with the smallest radius.
Code for the make\_circumcircle bit was inspired by code at [this site](https://www.nayuki.io/res/smallest-enclosing-circle/smallestenclosingcircle.py), in turn inspired by Wikipedia.

This uses the brute-force O(n^4) algorithm, iterating through each pair and triangle of points, calculating the centre, and keeping the centre that needs the smallest radius to enclose all points. It calculates the circumcentre of 3 points via finding the intersection of two perpendicular bisectors (or, if two points are equal it uses the midpoint with the third).

[Question]
[
Can you recover a sequence of letters from a sequence of dots and dashes? In Morse code, `x` is represented by `-..-`, but without the help of spaces, `-..---.-...` could represent `xmas`, or `dole`, or `teettteteee`, etc.
I took the lyrics from "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" to make the following sequence of letters:
```
youknowdasheranddancerandprancerandvixencometandcupidanddonnerandblitzenbutdoyourecallthemostfamousreindeerofallrudolphtherednosedreindeerhadaveryshinynoseandifyoueversawityouwouldevensayitglowsalloftheotherreindeerusedtolaughandcallhimnamestheyneverletpoorrudolphjoininanyreindeergamesthenonefoggychristmasevesantacametosayrudolphwithyournosesobrightwontyouguidemysleightonightthenhowthereindeerlovedhimastheyshoutedoutwithgleerudolphtherednosedreindeeryoullgodowninhistory
```
and then I converted each letter to its Morse code representation to get
```
-.-----..--.--.---.---...-.........-..--.-..-...--.-.-...-..--.-...--..-..--.-.-...-..--.-.....-..-..-.-.-.-.-----.-.--.-..-.-...-.--...-...--.-..-..----.-...-..--.-..-....-....---...-.-.....---..----.-----..-.-..-.-..-.-...-..-.....-----...-..-..------..-....-....-.-.....-.---..-..-.-...-...-...--..---.-...--.....-......-..-..-.---....-...-....-.-.....-......--...-...-..-.-.--.........-.-.---.---.....--.-......-.-.-----..-....-..-.....-.--..--.-----..-.-----..-.-..-......-.-.....--.--..---..-..---.--....-.-...-..---..-.-.....----......-..-....-.-.....-...-....-..----.-...-..---......--.-..-.-..-.-...-........---..---....-.....-.---.....-..-..-...-.--.------.-..-...--..---.-...--......------..-...-..--.-.--.-....-.-.....-.--..---....-.....-.----....-.-----.--.-.---.-......-......---.-.......-.....--.-.--.-..---.----....--.--.-...--..---.-...--......--..-....-.-----..-.-.-.---.......----....-...--.....-.------.--.-----..---...-..-...---.--....-.....--.....-----...--.....--.....-.....---.---......-....-.-.....-..-..---...-.-........--.-...-.....-.--.......---..--.-..---..--.--..-....--..-.....-...--..---.-...--.....-......-..-..-.---....-...-....-.-.....-.-.-----..-.-...-..--.----..---.---...-..........----.-.-.--
```
For reference, here are a few Morse code libraries:
```
a .- b -... c -.-. d -.. e . f ..-. g --. h .... i .. j .--- k -.- l .-.. m -- n -. o --- p .--. q --.- r .-. s ... t - u ..- v ...- w .-- x -..- y -.-- z --..
```
```
.- a -... b -.-. c -.. d . e ..-. f --. g .... h .. i .--- j -.- k .-.. l -- m -. n --- o .--. p --.- q .-. r ... s - t ..- u ...- v .-- w -..- x -.-- y --.. z
```
```
.- -... -.-. -.. . ..-. --. .... .. .--- -.- .-.. -- -. --- .--. --.- .-. ... - ..- ...- .-- -..- -.-- --..
```
Write the shortest code that takes as input the sequence of dots and dashes above and one of the Morse code libraries above, and then outputs the sequence of letters above.
**Edit 1:** Since we are ignoring [the letter spaces and word spaces that are typically used in Morse code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code#Timing), this challenge is nontrivial and significantly different from [previous challenges involving Morse code](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/morse). We are implicitly hunting for the *relative Kolmogorov complexity* of a fixed sequence of letters given the corresponding sequence of dots and dashes. This means your code only needs to run for the fixed inputs provided above, and produce the desired output provided above.
**Edit 2:** By popular request, I am relaxing the constraint on the Morse code library by providing two alternative libraries. If necessary, I am willing to add reasonable libraries in the future.

Takes the library followed by a newline followed by the morsecode from the standard input.
The library used is `.- -... -.-. -.. . ..-. --. .... .. .--- -.- .-.. -- -. --- .--. --.- .-. ... - ..- ...- .-- -..- -.-- --..`
## Explanation:
The majority of the code is a precalculated number of morse widths.
A morse caracter in the library is between 1 and 4 dihs and dahs long. In the number i store this as two bits of information.
To recall this number i & it with 3 and shift the result over by two bits.
I then read the number of dihs and dahs from the standard input and lookup in the library what the offset of that caracter is from "a". Then repeat and print.
I think the best way to shave of bytes will be to store the number more compactly.
---
Edit: removed 54 bytes by changing the library format, and storing the number as base36 following the suggestions of A Rex and Chas Brown

Edit: -3 bytes for removing redundant parameter from str.split() - Chas Brown

*-3 bytes by running about 20 times more slowly*
When I saw this question, I thought that the ultimate solution, the one the question was *made* for, would involve combining both the Morse code and a dictionary. I was surprised when the only submitted solutions turned out to use a table of letter boundaries. My interest was sparked; I'd take a crack at it myself.
The first step was to look for a suitable dictionary (I tried a few). Then I implemented the [first version of the algorithm](https://tinyurl.com/rudolph-C-v0-50) in C++. This enumerated all the possible words that could be at a given point, numbering them sequentially, until finding the one matching its corresponding value in an array made from running the same algorithm with the words of the song as a reference. This initial version enumerated the words in alphabetical order.
I was rather astonished to see just how ambiguous Morse code is without the inter-letter gaps. I expected it to be somewhat ambiguous, but not to the extent that it actually turns out to be! Some of the alternatives are pretty funny, too. Every time `reindeer` comes up, for example, it could also be `leech`. And the entire song can be mapped to completely different words, all the way from start to finish (gibberish, but present in the dictionary).
The dictionaries I tried turned out to be not so well-suited to the task. Either they were missing too many words, requiring them to be added to the dictionary for the algorithm to work, or they were *too* comprehensive, and the resulting array of "word choices" had elements exceeding 63, meaning it couldn't be packed into 6 bits per word.
Then it occurred to me to try [Jelly's dictionary](https://github.com/DennisMitchell/jellylanguage/blob/master/jelly/dictionary.py). It turned out to be *perfect* for this. Not every word is in the dictionary, including simple words like `a`, `names`, `games`, and `glows`, and the contractions `won't` (`wont` isn't in it either) and `you'll`, but I took advantage of the fact that there are no spaces in the output for this challenge, and cheated:
* `Blitzen` ‚Üí `blitz` `en`
* `had` `a` ‚Üí `Ha` `DA`
* `glows` `all` ‚Üí `glow` `sall`
* `names` `they` ‚Üí `Nam` `EST` `hey`
* `games` `then` ‚Üí `gamest` `hen`
* `won't` `you` ‚Üí `won` `Ty` `ou`
* `him` `as` `they` ‚Üí `Hima` `ST` `hey`
* `you'll` ‚Üí `you` `LL`
It was a spookily perfect fit for this challenge, even containing all of the proper nouns other than `Blitzen`. Another cheat was to use compound words to shrink the size of the array of word choices: `outwith` and `godown`. As result of all this, the word choice array had 116 elements in it, and with none exceeding 63, the whole thing could be packed into **87 bytes**. (This, despite the compromise of encoding `then` as `th` `en` so as not to exceed the value of 63.) Contrast this with the array of Morse codeword boundaries, which takes 119 bytes (118.5 rounded up).
But that leads to the next problem: Although the data size is considerably smaller, the code complexity is ballooned in comparison. I didn't know any golfing languages, and most of them have very limited documentation that's quite hard to use to learn from scratch.
So I worked on refining the algorithm. The next optimization was to iterate through letters [from longest Morse codeword length to shortest](https://tinyurl.com/rudolph-C-v0-61), still in C++. This actually decreased the maximum index value to 59, meaning that with arithmetic rather than bitwise packing it could use base 60 to fit in 86 bytes. (For illustrative purposes I also [ported this one to Java](https://tinyurl.com/rudolph-Java-v0-62), which was interesting... I learned a little more Java, and was surprised to see it run even faster than the C++ version, using >125% of a CPU core, even though the algorithm is inherently single-threaded. My best guess is that the hash function is multithreaded even for individual look-ups.) This data set would respond better to Huffman encoding than the previous one, though not enough to even break even.
I tried optimizing the C++ code for smaller compiled object code, evaluating if it was worthwhile to attempt hand-coding it in x86-32 assembly. It stubbornly remained way too large; the best I could do was to squeeze it in at just under 256 bytes, *not* including the data. So it wasn't worth hand-coding in asm (the letter-boundary version beats it by a huge margin).
So it seemed that the only way this algorithm would have justice done to it would be for me to learn a golfing language. Quite daunting, given that I've never used anything like these languages.
And then [Ad√°m](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/43319/ad%c3%a1m) offered to teach me APL. I jumped at the chance; while APL doesn't usually win challenges where there's also a Jelly or 05AB1E contender, it tends to come pretty close, has a deep and rich past, and formed the basis of or influenced many newer languages. Heck, I knew of it as a child, and was a bit curious about it even then, but never took a crack at learning it until now.
Many thanks to Adám for extensive help in teaching me various aspects of Dyalog APL and golfing down this program – my first APL program.
I initially tried [porting the algorithm as it stood to Dyalog APL](https://tio.run/##pVTLbtNAFF3HXzELJKcqM36meamrqEKVoKCKDVJEFWKnNRg7SlyVCNhQVJrSVkCFxAqhigULJHbs2PAp/pFwr@15Jd2RNO7M3Nc5597xYBzTYDaI0/1Ffvl5@35@8sE2zOfpZBqacNB7ZAajZGoaQTTMwObUW047P/@9Zj7uH62TTWKaL73Xr4pnn03HcZT16/21Wxi7a5r52TEsdu5sPTStw@nEitPhILbi6Ik1nmUHaeKxpjWNspCOB8Nng/1waj0N43hmYbUoTQaTGRvPTMcIoHR@epaffkGLkZ@@qwdkd41E3V43SsaH2YN02h0epNEw3Iu6QTjODrpH6SToFkTuhkl3lB4mwT3cLXrIgzgucTaIu0Ech7ge8YlnE5c0iecQj7hNXLmkgSaPOPi1iddCZ/D1iA1218GV0yBt4kMmtLXx0SJugzhNiPF8cINAqIDZHI9sYDhEgwU8ffDzy5xeA84BTIt4HqRpOOWxi6GAE6LLWi3MgsAALmyhro1U0K/AYEMaOC/Q2eiN8GDdaCMpKNkkvg@OUKoNlhKPygTZ2qQg4BlcW1CMqwvLQt9iUFBjbM3FTyMJX2R7cZhl4aRj1LjuYPTl7m6ajsFY62yPSD6/lj0Bt8InP3sjIz/K6lcRRNWw2m1wlXF4iskCCEQr7osDjnYTJrBXnNbyi68QW46v8K0pDIo9DMdVfvEDR6Q8UHjbZfqtuCwsbevCvbOVBNsjQ18BnnY@/w6MRd2ybFXp7y/H0BJz4utcF9CjMOQnnxSdtTJ8wf13wA@15ntaYYQUajssgGDn82@yDDgEaRIWhk2BmUOiCiTUbX4NCle9O87P/5Teq/SUsojMwBKdBVxko@yLW/dtu3ix7Jqkev@A6dKEe44e799Ci8wFZRQ/DP6Vf@UP9ox/KmN5VKyoesoolTvdwqooyr9FKSrSld6inKhSuS2Vrh6Ve5WfCveKBtMeIpbblQpUzysQc4NIIFkqjKVEwpuKbEsZKwDSSDltnkFVXpFPUU1AlTCrpnHemgBMQ0AFfMZpKBClSUqlUtOpCBxakyTJFf2Z1impiMJXVKKCkjpxy8Jr7ROjR1cbeVNFKleURyp6C7CUqUfq3FIlD9VuwQpMqZ/sjuTNFDzKVFGJjSqyCT1k95gSxudbP5V0qEpx6X5qd0oOoCqk2kQ5MVThqMzm/10XfZaZnHN24/uJTyJa/gE). It worked, but was very slow, even when compiled; in 60 seconds it only gets up to `donner` or so. Ad√°m conferred with Marshall at Dyalog, and there wasn't really a way to speed it up any further. But it was suggested that encoding the entire dictionary in Morse code could result in a speedup. And I realized that this strategy could make for much better golf, too.
So the next stage in adapting the algorithm was to translate the entire dictionary to Morse code, and at each point in the encoded song, iterate through possible words in reverse order of their length in Morse dots+dashes (with the longest being 24). Not only is this approach far, far faster in APL (and probably many other languages), and far more concise, but even the data is more lightweight ‚Äì far more of the "word choice" array elements are `0` or `1`, the largest value is just `50`, and there are only 115 elements (the `then` no longer needed or benefited from breaking up), meaning that in languages with arbitrary-precision base conversion, it could be packed in base 51 and take up only **82 bytes**. In APL though, the overhead of implementing arbitrary-precision base conversion would override the benefit, and I stuck with packing groups of 7 elements, in base 51, into groups of 5 bytes in base 246 (as log246 517 ‚âà 4.999295), taking up **85 bytes**. This data set responds even better to Huffman encoding than the previous, but still wouldn't break even: `4 1 2 21 1 13 0 23 0 3 26 1 23 0 26 0 27 15 8 6 0 34 10 0 1 1 7 0 43 23 0 4 37 50 1 0 3 23(24üêå) 22 6 15 6 16 3 2 17 10 12 5 0 9 31 1 3 9 21 0 32 16 9 20 32 8 12 31 5 0 4 27 14 1 7 13 16 0 0(1üêå) 27 4 4 22 10 0 16 5 7 15 3 12 18 4 2 13 1 0 50 4 49 2 1 4 38 20 0 0 19 0 43 23 0 1 6 12 0 38 0`
So as it turns out, in APL it still doesn't golf well enough to beat the existing letter-boundary solutions, even if the overhead for unpacking the "word choice" array (24 bytes) and for using Dyalog Unicode instead of Extended (7 bytes) are subtracted (yielding **144 (141üêå) bytes** code+data). I still think that it might be possible to make it shorter than 129 bytes in one of the languages more specialized towards golfing, and will likely try that eventually.
Of course, with bigger source material than the song this challenge uses, this dictionary-based approach would win hands-down. Some interesting extensions to it would be: Look 2 or more words ahead, and perhaps use an [N-gram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-gram) frequency table; Look all the way ahead, using a model of most-likely N-grams (probably would be incredibly slow).

## Explanation of the code
Dyalog Unicode is used, even though Dyalog Extended could save 7 bytes (4+3, as described below), because the former allows compiling for speed, whereas the latter is very slow, to the point that it would be impractical for demonstration.
On my system, this version takes about 45 (or 901üêå) seconds to finish (the first 7 seconds of this are taken converting the dictionary into Morse code). On TIO it doesn't quite finish within 60 seconds.
### Header
`‚éïIO‚Üê0` - set Index Origin to 0 (for 0-based array indexing)
`⎕AVU[62 63 60 93 11 94]←9016 9060 9056 8838 9018 9080` - modify the default Atomic Vector to match the actual Single-Byte Character Set we're using (`£¢¥ýɫ·` overwritten with `⌸⍤⍠⊆⌺⍸`, at each character's respective index within the Atomic Vector)
`'morse'⎕CY'dfns'` - import the Dyalog APL Morse code dfn – I decided to keep this in the header because Dyalog Extended has it by default
```
D←1(819⌶)'^\w+ = ''{3}|''{3}\.split\(\)$'⎕R''⊃⎕NGET'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/jelly/dictionary.py'1
```
Load Jelly's dictionary, and convert it to lowercase:
`⊃⎕NGET'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/jelly/dictionary.py'1` - read the file as a set of newline-delimited lines into an array (with empty lines dropped, of which there is one)
`'^\w+ = ''{3}|''{3}\.split\(\)$'‚éïR''` - using a regex (PCRE) Replace, remove the Python code that surrounds the dictionary's two word lists (`short` and `long`), resulting in a merged list that keeps everything from `short` before everything from `long` (but is otherwise in case-insensitive alphabetical order)
`1(819‚å∂)` - convert to uppercase, so that the `morse` dfn will work on it (since it only takes/gives uppercase input/output)
`D‚Üê` - assign to the variable `D`
```
‚àáD R i;C;M;w
```
Define the tradfn `R`, taking left argument `D` (dictionary word list) and right argument `i` (the input, i.e. the song in undelimited Morse code), and having local variables `C` (word choice array), `M` (dictionary translated to Morse code), and `w` (array listing the indices into the dictionary of what the current word could be). The arguments are passed and the local variables are declared to allow the `R` to be compiled properly (see footer).
### Code
```

```
`∊∘morse¨D` - compose the two functions `∊` (Enlist - flatten / join) and `morse`, and apply the composed function to the dictionary `D`. Without the `∊` composed in, `morse` returns an array of Morse codewords when given an alphabetical string as input, but we need the Morse-encoded dictionary to leave out inter-letter gaps, thus the `∊` flattening.
`M‚Üê` - assign the result to `M`, the Morse-encoded dictionary.
`⋄` - statement separator
`'k%aÏ⍵FþfÅ⍵ìÆ⌶á≥å3¶cÒ⍺\ujü─⍳%S⊣ì⍙ÒÛÙ3Ùp`Ø,hÇñ⊂┴Ö⍪l∪⍒i1⍵Í:-îà⌽ì≥3€ã(⍝S]ÁGXræ∇O7Uæî'` - word choice array, packed into a string using Dyalog APL's updated SBCS. For this to work, the encoding must not contain newlines, i.e. `⎕UCS` `10`, `12`, or `13` (`⎕AV[2 3 5]`), and any apostrophes must be doubled (but there are none).
`‚éïAV‚ç≥` - map characters to SBCS indices (in the range 0-255) using the modified Atomic Vector.
`¯7+` - add −7 to all SBCS indices. The corresponding addition of 7 was done during the encoding, to avoid occurrences of any of the three types of newlines. Due to use of base 246, this addend is quite flexible, and could range from 6 to 10 and be guaranteed to stay within range regardless of the data; thus it can be adjusted to minimize the number of apostrophes (which would each cost 1 byte, as they need to be doubled in a quoted string). As it happened, it was possible to have zero apostrophes.
`5 17⍴` - arrange into a matrix for base conversion; each of the 17 columns will be converted as a unit. (In Dyalog Extended, this could be done as `5 ¯1⍴`.)
`246‚ä•` - base-convert the 5 values in each column that range 0-245 (base 246) into a single number ranging 0-900897818975, the top row being most significant, yielding a flat array. (But due to the nature of the underlying data, it will actually range 0-897410677850.)
`(7⍴51)⊤` - base-convert each array element back into a column, with 7 rows, each number in the range 0-50 (base 51). (In Dyalog Extended, this could be done as `51⊤`. The number of rows would be autodetected, so if by a coincidence all values were less than 516, this shorthand syntax wouldn't work properly. In this case though, in would work, and would save **4 bytes**.)
`‚àä` - flatten the matrix into an array, row by row.
`C‚Üê` - assign to the variable `C`, the word choice array.
```
C↓⍨←≢i↓⍨←≢M⊃⍨w←(⊃C)⌷∊(⍸M⍷⍨⊂)¨⌽,\24↑i
```
This is Line 2 (as referred to by the `:GoTo` at the end of the loop):
`i` - take the current value of the input (with the parts of it that have already been processed deleted)
`\24‚Üë` - truncate to 24 characters (dots+dashes). That is the length of the longest Morse encodings (`rudolph` and `christmas`). This step is omitted in the üêå version, which results in almost identical operation, but far slower; the word choice array only needs to be modified in two places (increasing the choice value by 1 at the `and` in `andifyoueversawit` and at `christmas`), meaning that at all other words, no matches for >24 dots+dashes are found in the dictionary.
`,\` - make a list of Morse subsequences starting at the beginning of this, ranging from 1 dot/dash long to 24 dots/dashes long (or maximum length, in the üêå version), from shortest to longest (e.g., at the very beginning, would be `'-' '-.' '-.-' '-.--' '-.---' '-.----' '-.-----' '-.-----.'`...`'-.-----..--.--.---.---..'`)
`‚åΩ` - reverse that list, so that it goes from longest to shortest (this way of encoding results in smaller element values for the word choice array on average)
`(⍸M⍷⍨⊂)¨` - to each item in this list, apply the function `⍸M⍷⍨⊂`: `⊂`=enclose one level of nesting deeper, to match the nesting of the Morse-encoded dictionary; `M⍷⍨`=return an array the same size as the dictionary, where values of 0 mean "not found" and 1 means "found", `⍸`=convert the list of `0`s and `1`s into a list of the indices of the `1`s. The result is a matrix with 24 rows (ranging from longest to shortest Morse, top to bottom), each of which contains a variable number of columns (minimum zero), listing the indices of all the words in the dictionary that match the Morse sequence from the input of the corresponding length (in alphabetical order, but with Jelly's `short` dictionary entries preceding its `long` ones).
`‚àä` - flatten this. The end result is a list of the indices of all the words in the dictionary that match any item in the list of Morse sequences from the input that range from 24 to 1 dots+dashes long, retaining the sorting of longest to shortest (and within each length, entries from Jelly's `short` come before those from its `long`, and within that, they're alphabetically ordered).
`(⊃C)⌷` - from the resulting list, take the element at the index of the current word choice (`⊃`=first element of) from the word choice array `C`. Equivalent to wrapping everything to the right in `(` `)` and putting `[⊃C]` to the right of it, but saves 2 bytes.
`w‚Üê` - assign this (the index into the dictionary of the correct current word in the song) to the variable `w`, returning it as a result
`M⊃⍨` - return the `w`th element of `M` (the Morse code of the current word), unwrapped. Equivalent `⊃M` followed by wrapping everything to the right in `[` `]`, but saves 1 byte.
`≢` - return the length of the Morse code of this word (in characters, i.e. dots+dashes). If it had not been unwrapped by `⊃`, the result would always be `1`.
`i↓⍨←` - delete that many characters (the length of the word in Morse code) from the beginning of the input `i`, so that on the next iteration of the loop, the next word will be handled, and return the number of characters deleted as the result
`≢` - return the length of the number of characters; since that is a scalar, it will always be `1`
`C↓⍨←` - delete that many (1) characters from the beginning of `C`, the word choice array, so that on the next iteration of the loop, the next word choice will be ready. This saves 1 byte relative to what a separate statement (`C↓⍨←1`) would take.
```
⍞←819⌶w⊃D
```
`w⊃D` - Take the `w`th element of `D` (the current alphabetical word) and unwrap it, so that when printed, there are no spaces to its left or right. Equivalent to `⊃D[w]`.
`819‚å∂` - Convert to lowercase. Equivalent to `0(819‚å∂)`. (In Dyalog Extended, this could be done as `‚åä`, saving **3 bytes**.)
`‚çû‚Üê` - Print the result without a newline. In TIO, this prints to stderr.
```
‚Üí2
```
`:GoTo` Line `2` (the beginning of the loop), unconditionally. A line number is used to save the 2 bytes that defining a label (e.g. `L:`) would cost. The lack of a looping condition results in the program ending with `* Command Execution Failed: INDEX ERROR` when it tries to access the first element of an empty array (after it has successfully printed the entire song).
If running this program locally, note that the error prevents `]runtime` from working. To work around this, the program may be called with `:Trap 3`...`:Else ⋄ :EndTrap` wrapping it.
The clean version, avoiding this error, would be `→2⊣¨i`, meaning `:GoTo` Line 2 while `i` is not empty. This would work because `2⊣¨i` returns an array of `2`s matching the length of `i`, and the `:GoTo` goes to the line number of the first value in the array, if one exists.
### Footer
`‚àá` - end the tradfn `R`
`2(400‚å∂)'R' 'morse'` - compile the user tradfn `R` and the built-in dfn `morse`. Without this, the program would run far slower.
`⍎'D R⍞⋄⍬'` - Call tradfn `R` with dictionary `D` as its left argument and the input (`⍞`) as its right argument. This passing of arguments is done only for speed, so that the compile can work properly (it doesn't like global variables, or directly using input). The `⍎` and `⍬` constitute a workaround Adám wrote for me for the way the APLs work currently on TIO. They expect code in the input, but I wanted a clean separation between code and input.

Also, since I was curious what the program length would be if we wouldn't take any input and just use [the 05AB1E dictionary](https://github.com/Adriandmen/05AB1E/blob/master/lib/reading/dictionary/words.ex) to output the string, I created a program for that as well, which is **266 [bytes](https://github.com/Adriandmen/05AB1E/wiki/Codepage)**:

function r(m,d);[a,b]=ismember(mat2cell(m,1,fread(fopen('j'),474,'bit2')+3),strsplit(d));char(b+96)
```
The inputs are the Morse code sequence `m` and the dictionary `d` in the third format. The function uses a 119-byte file `j` [available here](https://www.dropbox.com/s/88x42yob0q5of78/j.bin?dl=0) that contains the lengths of the 474 Morse codewords. According to [the rules of scoring multiple files](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4933/counting-bytes-for-multi-file-programs/4934#4934), this adds an additional byte to the score.

This corresponds to:
```
$L = <<''; # length bits in base64
MJZDYEM98;HWE31N4>Y9:6'Y,BZYRSZ1<JI2@]ZH_(Z8H)7@V[G5*V2NC&:NZM3':XVCLCHY2@(IY>WE\5,L<XK*K^6U5+"5K(9*S^)B5CT07:JK_Q:HINCL:J=23LYEL.T,E*".U[)[`HJQ@ZJ/R.F*"6XOJK5B0X`

+ print $s=~/(.) \Q$& / # ...and print corresponding letter
for map vec(unpack('u',$L), $_, 2), # find morse code lengths of the letters
0..473 # 474 letters
```
This could perhaps be further shortened by encoding in base128 or directly in "base256". Huffman encoding the lengths could shorten the length data, but most probably enlarge the rest of the code by too much.

The algorithm and data in this answer were originally implemented in [this APL answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/197980/17216), and their explanation is there. But as implemented there, it failed in its entire purpose, which was to beat the previously lowest-scoring submission to this challenge, [Kevin Cruijssen's **129 byte** 05AB1E answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/197652/17216). Here, it finally succeeds in its very purpose for existing, and just barely manages to beat that answer's length. I learned Pyth to do this; it was a promising choice with very good documentation. It's unclear if any of the other golfing languages would be able to implement an imperative algorithm like this in fewer bytes.
With a longer Morse code message this algorithm would win by a significantly larger margin.

## Explanation of the code
### Header
```
$exec('
```
Anything in `$`...`$` is `eval`ed as Python code. Open an `exec` block here (since statements can't be executed in `eval`). The leading space suppresses `imp_print`.
```
def Pprint(a): print(a, end="", flush=True); return a
```
On my system, this program takes 46.4 (or 921üêå) seconds to finish, but on TIO, it is on the very edge between not finishing in 60 seconds or just barely finishing. If it didn't manage to finish, no output would be shown. If it was manually interrupted before finishing, the incomplete output would be shown ‚Äì so it appears TIO sends a SIGINT (Ctrl+C) to the process for this, but something more powerful (perhaps even SIGKILL) when reaching the 60 second limit.
By default, Python only flushes its standard output on newlines. The `-u` command line argument forces stdout (and stderr) to be unbuffered, but TIO does not provide a way to send arguments to the host Python process that spawns Pyth.
This header line redefines Pyth's `Pprint()` macro to flush its output, so that if the program does not finish within 60 seconds, the incomplete output will still be shown. It's the next best thing to `-u`.
Funnily enough, forcing each individual print to flush seems to actually make it run faster on TIO; it was able to finish in under 58 seconds with this, whereas in my tests on TIO the 134 byte version never finished without this.
```
_imp_print = imp_print;
def imp_print(a): globals()["imp_print"] = globals()["_imp_print "]; return a
```
Work around the newline inserted by TIO between the Header and Code sections, which would trigger an `imp_print()` on the first expression otherwise. Suppress only the very first `imp_print` that happens next, and then allow all subsequent ones.
```
')$
```
End the `exec` block.
```
=TrL0$exec('from jelly import dictionary') or dictionary.short + dictionary.long$
```
Import Jelly's dictionary and assign the concatenation of its short and long dictionaries, changed to all-lowercase, to the Pyth variable `T`. Equivalent to:
`from jelly import dictionary`
`T = list(map(lambda arg:arg.lower(), dictionary.short + dictionary.long))`
### Code
```
Kcwd
```
The Morse code version of the song has already been read from input implicitly, as `z = input()`.
Read the Morse code look-up table from input. Equivalent to `K = input().split(' ')`.
```
=bmsm@KxGkdT
```
Translate Jelly's dictionary into Morse code, with the inter-letter gaps deleted. Equivalent to:
`b = list(map(lambda d:''.join(map(lambda k:K[string.ascii_lowercase.index(k)], d)), T))`
(The outer lambda uses `d` as its argument, whereas the inner lambda automatically advances to using `k` as its argument.)

`_._<z24` - `reverse(list(map(lambda arg1:z[:arg1], range(1, 24+1))))` - make a list of Morse subsequences starting at the beginning of input (`z`), ranging from 24 to 0 dots/dashes long (from longest to shortest)
`_._z` üêå - `reverse(list(map(lambda arg1:z[:arg1], range(1, len(z)))))` - make a list of Morse subsequences starting at the beginning of input (`z`), ranging from maximum length to 0 dots/dashes long (from longest to shortest)
`J@sxRb`...`N` - `J = sum(map(lambda arg2:index(arg2,b),` ...`), [])[N]`, where `index(arg2,b)` finds all occurrences of `arg2` in `b` - enumerate all words that match the Morse code at the current position in the input, up to 24 dots+dashes, and store this list of dictionary indices (which apply to both `b` and `T`) in `J`
`=>zl@bJ` - `z = z[len(b[J]):]` - remove the processed Morse code from the beginning of the input
`p@TJ` - `print(T[J])` - look up this word in the dictionary and print it

### How?
For each character in the data string, we take the ASCII code minus \$40\$ to get a 6-bit value holding the lengths of the next 3 morse codes.
*Example:*
```
"S" --> ASCII code 83 --> 43 --> 101011 --> 10 10 11
| | |
| | +--> 3+1 = 4 -> -.-- (y)
| +-----> 2+1 = 3 -> --- (o)
+--------> 2+1 = 3 -> ..- (u)

Same morse-ignoring, hardcoding approach as [ScoopGracie's answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/197479/90219), but with each character's 5 LSB concatenated and re-encoded in printable ASCII (i.e. 7 free bits out of each byte).
This shortens the string from 474 to 339 bytes, not counting delimiters (which need to be multiline for the encoded string) and an escape sequence in place of a NUL byte. I also cut the string off at the last clean byte boundary (to not deal with partial bytes) so I had to hardcode the final four characters.
Then there's not-insignificant overhead for the decoding process, so it's not much shorter this way. Improvement suggestions welcome!
Using the standard library instead to compress the lyrics with `base64.b64encode(gzip.compress(...))` actually saves 2 bytes:

Just like [Seb's answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/197717/17216) and [ScoopGracie's answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/197479/90219), gracefully takes the Morse code representation and any of the three libraries as input, blithely ignores them and gives you the output.
Takes Seb's strategy a step further, encoding the text in base 26 in an integer encoded in base 256 in a string (as opposed to Seb's which encodes in base 32 in base 128 in a string). Both of our solutions are confined by not being able to contain the bytes NUL (0x00) or CR (0x0D), which Python interprets as end-of-file and LF (0x0A), respectively, even when found in a triple-quoted raw string literal. CR+LF is also interpreted as LF. Backslash escape codes are interpreted (unless the raw prefix `r` is used). Backslash followed by any kind of newline is treated as nothing, stripping both the backslash and the newline. And the string can't end in a backslash. (So it's really sort of a slightly-less-than-base-254 masquerading with the help of luck as base 256.)
To work around this problem I had to complicate the encoding a bit. Neither ASCII-97 nor 122-ASCII, nor using base 27 instead of 26 (and optionally adding 1), avoided containing these bytes or sequences, so I settled upon adding 1 to the encoded integer before each multiplication by 26, which luckily costs only 3 bytes (compare `i//=26` to `i=i//26-1`). With significantly larger text, the luck would have to be incredible, or every NUL, CR, and `\` would have to be replaced with `\0`, `\r`, and `\\` respectively. On the other hand, with better luck, newlines might be absent altogether, meaning single-quoting could be used instead of double-quoting.
The `#coding=L1` costs 11 bytes (without this it'd be 361 bytes), but this beats the cost of using base 128 (which would take 319 bytes for the string, whereas base 256 takes **279 bytes**, and thus would cost 40 bytes instead of 11, not counting the different Python code that would be needed to decode it). An alternative coding is [`437`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437), which would cost a further 2 bytes, since the [encoding name](https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings) is used twice. Note that the disadvantage of using `L1` instead of `437` is that ISO 8859-1 doesn't map as cleanly to UTF-8, and there may be difficulty faithfully copying and/or pasting it in some software.
This standalone program, written in the [ISO 8859-1 codepage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin-1_Supplement_(Unicode_block)), ignores the Morse code representation and library taken as command-line parameters, and prints the output to stdout:
```

[Question]
[
The powers that be want to be able to quickly convert any number they have into their own number base using any format they would like.
**Input**
Your program must accept 3 parameters.
1. Number: The string number to be converted
2. InputFormat: the base string the number is currently in
3. OutputFormat: the base string that the number is to be converted to.
**Output**
Your program must convert the `Number` from the old number base `InputFormat` to the new number base `OutputFormat`
**Examples**
```
("1","0123456789","9876543210") = "8"
("985724","9876543210","0123456789ABCDEF") = "37C3"
("FF","0123456789ABCDEF","0123456789") = "255"
("FF","0123456789ABCDEF","01234567") = "377"
("18457184548971248772157", "0123456789","Aa0Bb1Cc2Dd3Ee4Ff5Gg6Hh7Ii8Jj9Kk,Ll.Mm[Nn]Oo@Pp#Qq}Rr{Ss-Tt+Uu=Vv_Ww!Xx%Yy*Zz") = ",sekYFg_fdXb"
```
***Additional***
The new base 77 test is not required props if it works though
1. if your in a language where you have to convert to a number first and are locked within 32Bit you can skip it.
2. as it's an additional test.
All examples were generated by PHP 7.2 with the bcmath extension using the following code (vars mins but code formatted). there will probably be a shorter way this is just the way I came up with for the system I needed to do this with would be nice to see if anyone could come up with a shorter version though.
PHP 7.2 (bcmath - extension) 614 bytes
```
<?php
function f($a, $b, $c)
{
$d= str_split($b,1);
$e= str_split($c,1);
$f= str_split($a,1);
$g=strlen($b);
$h=strlen($c);
$k=strlen($a);
$r='';
if ($c== '0123456789')
{
$r=0;
for ($i = 1;$i <= $k; $i++)
$retval = bcadd($retval, bcmul(array_search($f[$i-1], $d),bcpow($g,$k-$i)));
return $r;
}
if ($b!= '0123456789')
$l=f($a, $b, '0123456789');
else
$l= $a;
if ($l<strlen($c))
return $e[$l];
while($l!= '0')
{
$r= $e[bcmod($l,$h)].$r;
$l= bcdiv($l,$h,0);
}
return $r;
}

An anonymous function (thanks, [Erik the Outgolfer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/41024/erik-the-outgolfer)!) which converts the original number to a base 10 integer, then passes the integer and the new base string to function g(), which recursively converts to the new base. Now passes length of the OutputFormat as a parameter to g().
Updated g() for a lower bytecount. (thanks, [Dennis](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/12012/dennis)!)
Replaced index() with find(). (thanks, [Mr. Xcoder](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/59487/mr-xcoder)!)

# Ex: 985724 -> 427589
n = n[::-1]
# get the value of each place, which is its index in the InputFormat, times the base to the power of the place
# Ex: 427589, 9876543210 -> 5*10^0, 7*10^1, 2*10^2, 4*10^3, 1*10^4, 0*10^5 -> [5,70,200,4000,10000,0]
n = [a.find(j)*len(a)**i for i,j in enumerate(n)]
# add all of the values together to bet the value in base 10
# Ex: (5 + 70 + 200 + 4000 + 10000 + 0) = 14275
n = sum(n)
# call the convert to base function

-1 byte using `index` instead of `strchr`.
This is a simple iterative approach, reusing some variables (and thereby abusing `sizeof(int) == sizeof(char *)` on TIO) to save bytes.
Input:
* `i` input number
* `s` source base characters
* `t` target base characters
Output:
* `r` result number (pointer to a buffer)
### Explanation:
```
v; // value of number
c(r,i,s,t)char*r,*i,*t;{
for(r[1]=v=0; // initialize value and second
// character of output to 0
*i; // loop while not at the end of
// input string
v=v*strlen(s)+index(s,*i++)-s); // multiply value with source base
// and add the value of the current
// digit (position in the base string)
for(s=strlen(t),i=1; // initialize s to the length of the
// target base string, length of
// result to 1
*r=t[v%s],v/=s; // add character for current digit
// (value modulo target base) and
// divide value by target base until
// 0 is reached
memmove(r+1,r,++i)); // move result string one place to

[Question]
[
Inspired by [this](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/125470/multiply-two-strings) challenge (thanks @cairdcoinheringaahing for the title!), your task is to take two printable ASCII strings and multiply them element-wise with the following rules.
### How does it work?
Given two strings (for example `split` and `isbn`) you will first, truncate the longer one such that they have equal length and then determine their [ASCII codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#Printable_characters):
```
split -> spli -> [115, 112, 108, 105]
isbn -> isbn -> [105, 115, 98, 110]
```
The next step will be to map them to the range `[0..94]` by subtracting `32` of each code:
```
[115, 112, 108, 105] -> [83, 80, 76, 73]
[105, 115, 98, 110] -> [73, 83, 66, 78]
```
Now you will multiply them element-wise modulo `95` (to stay in the printable range):
```
[83, 80, 76, 73] ⊗ [73, 83, 66, 78] -> [74, 85, 76, 89]
```
Add `32` to get back to the range `[32..126]`:
```
[74, 85, 76, 89] -> [106, 117, 108, 121]
```
And the final step is to map them back to ASCII characters:
```
[106, 117, 108, 121] -> "july"
```
### Rules
* You will write a program/function that implements the described steps on two strings and either prints or returns the resulting string
* The input format is flexible: you can take two strings, a tuple of strings, list of strings etc.
* The input may consist of one or two empty strings
* The input will be characters in the printable range (`[32..126]`)
* The output is either printed to the console or you return a string
* The output is allowed to have trailing whitespaces
### Test cases
```
"isbn", "split" -> "july"
"", "" -> ""
"", "I don't matter" -> ""
" ", "Me neither :(" -> " "
"but I do!", "!!!!!!!!!" -> "but I do!"
'quotes', '""""""' -> 'ck_iKg'
"wood", "hungry" -> "yarn"
"tray", "gzip" -> "jazz"
"industry", "bond" -> "drop"
"public", "toll" -> "fall"
"roll", "dublin" -> "ball"
"GX!", "GX!" -> "!!!"
"4 lll 4", "4 lll 4" -> "4 lll 4"
"M>>M", "M>>M" -> ">MM>"
```
**Note**: The quotes are just for readability, in the 6th test case I used `'` instead of `"`.

### Explanation
```
c % Implicitly input cell array of 2 strings. Convert to 2-row char matrix.
% This pads the shorter string with spaces
32- % Subtract 32, element-wise. Each char is interpreted as its ASCII code.
% Note that padding spaces will give 0.
p % Product of each column. Since (padding) spaces have been mapped to 0, the
% product effectively eliminates those colums. So the effect is the same as
% if string length had been limited by the shorter one
95\ % Modulo 95, element-wise
32+ % Add 32, element-wise
c % Convert to char. Implicitly display

First line is an anonymous function taking two arguments.
This a straight forward implementation of the algorithm: `zipWith` takes both strings and applies a given function to the pairs of characters. It handles the truncation and also works for empty strings. `fromEnum` and `toEnum` are alternatives to `ord` and `chr` to switch between characters and their ASCII values which do not need a lengthy import.

Function that takes two arguments from the stack.
## Explanation
```
[,:$#'"!MIN$take"![CS#.toarr]"!32-prod 95%32+#:''#`]
```
Let's look at the first part, assuming the top two items are `'split'` and `'isbn'`:
```
,:$#'"!MIN$take"! stack: ('split' 'isbn')
, pair top two: (('split' 'isbn'))
: duplicate: (('split' 'isbn') ('split' 'isbn'))
$#' length function literal: (('split' 'isbn') ('split' 'isbn') $#')
"! execute on each: (('split' 'isbn') (5 4))
MIN obtain the minimum: (('split' 'isbn') 4)
$take "take" function literal: (('split' 'isbn') 4 $take)
(e.g. `'asdf' 2 take` is `'as'`)
"! vectorized binary each: (('spli' 'isbn'))
```
This part performs the cropping.
Then:
```
[CS#.toarr]"! stack: (('spli' 'isbn'))
[ ]"! perform the inside on each string
string `'spli'`:
CS convert to a character string: $'spli'
#. vectorized "ord": (115 112 108 105)
toarr convert to array: (115 112 108 105)
(needed for empty string, since `$'' #.` == `$''` not `()`
```
Then, the last part:
```
32-prod 95%32+#:''#` stack: (((115 112 108 105) (105 115 98 110)))
32- subtract 32 from each character code: (((83 80 76 73) (73 83 66 78)))
prod reduce multiplication over the array: ((6059 6640 5016 5694))
95% modulus 95: ((74 85 76 89))
32+ add 32: ((106 117 108 121))
#: convert to characters: (('j' 'u' 'l' 'y'))
''#` join: ('july')

## Explanation:
This is a quotation (anonymous function) that takes two strings from the data stack and leaves one string on the data stack. In Factor, strings are just sequences of unicode code points and can be manipulated like any other sequence.
* Assuming a data stack that looks like `"split" "isbn"` when this function is called...
* `[ [ 32 - ] bi@ * 95 mod 32 + ]` push a quotation to the data stack (to be used later by `2map`) `"split" "isbn" [ [ 32 - ] bi@ * 95 mod 32 + ]`
* `2map` map over two sequences, combining them into one sequence with the given quotation which has stack effect `( x x -- x )`.
* At the beginning of the first iteration of `2map`, the data stack looks like this: `115 105`
* `[ 32 - ]` push a quotation to the data stack to be used later by the word `bi@`. `115 105 [ 32 - ]`
* `bi@` apply a quotation to the object on top of the data stack *and* the second-top object on the data stack `83 73`
* `*` multiply top two objects on the data stack `6059`
* `95` push `95` to the data stack `6059 95`
* `mod` reduce NOS (next on stack) modulo TOS (top of stack) `74`
* `32` push `32` to the data stack `74 32`
* `+` add top two objects on the data stack `106`
* So, at the end of the quotation to `2map`, we are left with `106`, which is the code point for `'j'`, which is the first element of the output sequence. The quotation given to `2map` will be run on each pair of elements until one of the two sequences no longer has any elements, meaning the output sequence will have the same size as the shorter of the two input sequences.

[Question]
[
[Originally posted (and deleted) by *@Tlink*](/q/163907), which was most likely [inspired from this StackOverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/48751320).
Since it was a shame it got deleted, because it seemed like a good challenge in general, I figured I'd repost it with proper formatting and rules. (I've tried contacting *@Tlink* and get his/her permission to post it, but (s)he doesn't respond any more, which is why I decided to post it myself now.)
**Input:** Six digits.
**Output:** Either the first or last valid time in the 24-hour format (`00:00:00` through `23:59:59`). (You can choose yourself whether you output the first or last valid time.)
**Example:**
When the inputs are `1,8,3,2,6,4`, the following times can be created:
```
12:36:48 12:38:46 12:46:38 12:48:36
13:26:48 13:28:46 13:46:28 13:48:26
14:26:38 14:28:36 14:36:28 14:38:26
16:23:48 16:24:38 16:28:34 16:28:43
16:32:48 16:34:28 16:38:24 16:38:42
16:42:38 16:43:28 16:48:23 16:48:32
18:23:46 18:24:36 18:26:34 18:26:43
18:32:46 18:34:26 18:36:24 18:36:42
18:42:36 18:43:26 18:46:23 18:46:32
21:36:48 21:38:46 21:46:38 21:48:36
23:16:48 23:48:16
```
So we'll output either `12:36:48` or `23:48:16` in this case, being the first / last respectively.
## Challenge rules:
* State whether you output the first or last valid time in your answer.
* I/O is flexible. Input can be six separated integers; a string containing the six digits; an integer list/array; a single (possibly octal) number; etc. Output can be a correctly ordered list/array of digits; a String in the format `HH:mm:ss`/`HHmmss`/`HH mm ss`; every digit printed with new-line delimiter; etc. Your call.
* You are allowed to take the digits in any order you'd like, so they can already be sorted from lowest to highest or vice-versa.
* If no valid time can be created with the given digits (i.e. `2,5,5,5,5,5`), make so clear in any way you'd like. Can return `null`/`false`; `"Not possible"`; crash with an error; etc. (You cannot output an invalid time like `55:55:52`, or another valid time like `00:00:00`.) Please state how it handles inputs for which no valid time can be created.
* You are not allowed to output all possible valid times. Only the earliest/latest should be outputted/returned.
* `24` for hours (i.e. `24:00:00`), or `60` for minutes/seconds (i.e. `00:60:60`) are not valid. The ranges are `[00-23]` for hours and `[00-59]` for minutes and seconds.
## General rules:
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so shortest answer in bytes wins.
Don't let code-golf languages discourage you from posting answers with non-codegolfing languages. Try to come up with an as short as possible answer for 'any' programming language.
* [Standard rules apply](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2419/default-for-code-golf-program-function-or-snippet/2422#2422) for your answer, so you are allowed to use STDIN/STDOUT, functions/method with the proper parameters and return-type, full programs. Your call.
* [Default Loopholes](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1061/loopholes-that-are-forbidden-by-default) are forbidden.
* If possible, please add a link with a test for your code.
* Also, please add an explanation if necessary.

Probably not optimal, but it works. Oddly enough for some reason with 7 arguments the gcc implementation on TIO requires that you actually supply them or it segfaults. On my machine that is unnecessary however.
Format: G(X,0,6) -> Y where X is the 6-digit number whose digits are to be used and Y is the 6 digit number which when taken as a time (by inserting : appropriately) is minimal.

Now with less strict output. Takes input as a string of digits and compares permutations against limits with list comparison. With minutes and seconds only the first digit is checked. Crashes and burns if no permutation is a valid time.

Takes a **sorted** list of digits as input. Returns `Missing[NotFound]` for invalid inputs.
### Explanation
```
Permutations@#
```
Find all of the permutations of the input. Since the input is sorted, it is guaranteed that all valid times are in increasing order.
```
FirstCase[ ... ]
```
Find the first list that matches...
```
{a:0|1|2,b_,c_,_,d_,_}
```
The first element, labeled `a`, is 0, 1, or 2, and label the second, third, and fifth elements `b`, `c`, and `d` respectively...
```
... /;a*b-4<6>d>=c
```
... such that `a*b` is less than 10, and `d` and `c` are less than 6, with `d >= c`.
The trick is that for all numbers `00` to `24`, the product of the two digits is at most 9, and the possible invalid numbers `25` to `29` (since we force the first digit to be 0, 1, or 2) have the product of least 10.

## Bash + GNU sed, 83, 72, 69 bytes
* Accepts input as 6 separate arguments;
* Returns the earliest time (if found);
* Returns nothing (empty output) if no valid combination exist.
`seq 0 86399|sed "s/^/date +%T -ud@/e;h;`printf s/%d//\; $@`/\w/d;x;q"`
**How it works**
Pre-generate all the possible time strings, for the timestamps in range 0 to 86399, using GNU-sed **e**(xecute) command + `date`.
`%seq 0 86399|sed "s/^/date +%T -ud@/e;h;"`
```
00:00:00
00:00:01
...
23:59:59
```
Generate `sed` script with 6 sequential substitution commands,
for an each input digit.
`%echo sed `printf s/%d//\; $@``
```
sed s/1//;s/2//;s/3//;s/4//;s/6//;s/8//;
```
Then, apply substitutions, remove any input lines which have at least one digit left, print the first matching line (original time string is extracted from the hold space with `x`).
```
%echo 23:45:12|sed 's/1//;s/2//;s/3//;s/4//;s/6//;s/8//;'
:5:2 //non-matching, delete
%echo 12:36:48|sed 's/1//;s/2//;s/3//;s/4//;s/6//;s/8//;'
:: //matching, print and stop

Input is 6 digits in sorted order. Output is 6 digits representing earliest valid time, or empty string if no valid time exists.
EDIT: I was an idiot, -9 bytes
## Explanation
**Algorithm**
For brevity, let's define a low digit as 0-5, and a high digit as 6-9.
First, rearrange the digits so that "low-ness" or "high-ness" of each position is correct. The correct arrangement, for each number of high digits in the input:
```
# of highs arrangment
0 LLLLLL
1 LLLLLH
2 LLLHLH
3 LHLHLH
4+ Not possible
```
Since the any rearrangement would fail the final check in the input has 4+ high digits, we can ignore that case completely.
Then, sort the lows and the highs individually. Combine with the rearrangement, this gives the lowest value that satisfies the minute and second constraints. So this gives the earliest valid time, if one exists.
Finally, check if that we have valid time. If not, discard the string.
---
**Program**
```
+,V^2`[0-5][6-9]{2}
```
Matches `LHH` and swaps the first two digits in that (becomes `HLH`), and repeat that until no more `LHH` exists. This gives the correct arrangement.
Actually, I lied. No sorting is needed because 1) swapping only happens between adjacent digits and only between a low and a high; and 2) the input is sorted. So the lows and the highs individually are already in sorted order.
```
G`([01].|2[0-3])[0-5].[0-5].
```
Only keeps the string if it is a valid time

[Question]
[
This question is based on the number-placement puzzle Towers (also known as Skyscrapers), which you can [play online](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/towers.html). Your goal is to take a solution to the puzzle and determine the clues -- the numbers of towers visible along each row and column. This is code golf, so fewest bytes wins.
**How Towers works**
The solution to a Towers puzzle is a Latin square -- a `n*n` grid in which every row and column contains a permutation of the numbers `1` through `n`. An example for `n=5` is:
```
4 3 5 2 1
5 4 1 3 2
1 5 2 4 3
2 1 3 5 4
3 2 4 1 5
```
Each row and column is labelled with a clue at each end like:
```
2 3 1 4 5
v v v v v
2 > 4 3 5 2 1 < 3
1 > 5 4 1 3 2 < 4
2 > 1 5 2 4 3 < 3
3 > 2 1 3 5 4 < 2
3 > 3 2 4 1 5 < 1
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
2 2 2 2 1
```
Each clue is a number from `1` to `n` that tells you how many towers you "see" looking along the row/column from that direction, if the numbers are treated as towers with that height. Each tower blocks shorter towers behind it. In other words, the towers you can see are the ones that are taller than any tower before them.
For example, let's look at the first row.
```
2 > 4 3 5 2 1 < 3
```
It has a clue of `2` from the left because you can see the `4` and the `5`. The `4` blocks the `3` from sight and the `5` blocks everything else. From the right, you can see `3` towers: `1`, `2`, and `5`.
**Program requirements**
Write a program or function that takes in the grid of numbers and outputs or prints the clues, going clockwise from the top left.
**Input**
An `n*n` Latin-square with `2<=n<=9`.
The format is flexible. You can use any data structure that represents a grid or list containing numbers or digit characters. You may require a separator between the rows or no separator at all. Some possibilities are a list, a list of lists, a matrix, a token-separated string like
```
43521 54132 15243 21354 32415,
```
or a string without spaces.
You're not given `n` as part of the input.
**Output**
Return or print the clues starting from the top left and going clockwise. So, first the upper clues reading rightwards, then the right clues reading downwards, then the lower clues reading leftwards, the the left clues reading upwards.
This would be `23145 34321 12222 33212` for the previous example
```
2 3 1 4 5
v v v v v
2 > 4 3 5 2 1 < 3
1 > 5 4 1 3 2 < 4
2 > 1 5 2 4 3 < 3
3 > 2 1 3 5 4 < 2
3 > 3 2 4 1 5 < 1
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
2 2 2 2 1
```
Just as for the input, you can use a list, string, or any ordered structure. The four "groups" can be separated or not, in a nested or a flat structure. But, the format must be the same for each group.
**Example test cases:**
(Your input/output format doesn't have to be the same as these.)
```
>> [[1 2] [2 1]]
[2 1]
[1 2]
[2 1]
[1 2]
>> [[3 1 2] [2 3 1] [1 2 3]]
[1 2 2]
[2 2 1]
[1 2 3]
[3 2 1]
>> [[4 3 5 2 1] [5 4 1 3 2] [1 5 2 4 3] [2 1 3 5 4] [3 2 4 1 5]]
[2 3 1 4 5]
[3 4 3 2 1]
[1 2 2 2 2]
[3 3 2 1 2]
>> [[2 6 4 1 3 7 5 8 9] [7 2 9 6 8 3 1 4 5] [5 9 7 4 6 1 8 2 3] [6 1 8 5 7 2 9 3 4] [1 5 3 9 2 6 4 7 8] [3 7 5 2 4 8 6 9 1] [8 3 1 7 9 4 2 5 6] [9 4 2 8 1 5 3 6 7] [4 8 6 3 5 9 7 1 2]]
[4 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 1]
[1 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 3]
[4 3 2 1 2 3 3 2 2]
[3 1 2 4 3 3 2 2 5]
```
For you convenience, here are the same test cases in a flat string format.

```
There's an awful lot of list flipping going on in there.
Takes input as a nested list (e.g. call with `T([[4,3,5,2,1],[5,4,1,3,2],[1,5,2,4,3],[2,1,3,5,4],[3,2,4,1,5]])`). Output is a single flat list.
Ungolfed:
```
def T(m):
o=[]
for _ in [0]*4:
m=zip(*m)[::-1]
for r in m[::-1]:
n=k=0
for x in r:k+=x>n;n=max(x,n)
o+=[k]
return o
```
Alternative 115:
```
def T(m):o=[];exec'm=zip(*m)[::-1];o+=[len(set([max(r[:i+1])for i in range(len(r))]))for r in m[::-1]];'*4;return o
```
I have no idea why this works with a list comprehension, but chucks a `NameError` with a set comprehension...
A bit too long, but if anyone's interested — yes, it's possible to get this down to a lambda!
```
T=lambda m:[len({max(r[:i+1])for i in range(len(r))})for k in[1,2,3,4]for r in eval("zip(*"*k+"m"+")[::-1]"*k)[::-1]]

[Try it online](https://pyth.herokuapp.com/)... is what I would say but unfortunately, for security reasons, the online interpreter disallows the use of eval on nested brackets. Try the workaround code `JcQ5V4=J_CJ~Yml{meS<dhkUd_J)Y` instead, and input as a flattened list like `[4, 3, 5, 2, 1, 5, 4, 1, 3, 2, 1, 5, 2, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 5, 4, 3, 2, 4, 1, 5]`.

## How it works
The basic idea is to have the code work along rows and rotate the grid counter-clockwise 4 times. To count the towers, I'm raising each tower as far as it doesn't make a "visual difference" (i.e., don't change it if it's visible, or pull it up to the same height of the tower in front of it), and then I'm counting distinct heights.
```
q~ "Read and evaluate the input.";
{ }4* "Four times...";
z "Transpose the grid.";
_ "Duplicate.";
{ }% "Map this block onto each row.";
[ ] "Collect into an array.";
{ }* "Fold this block onto the row.";
1$ "Copy the second-to-topmost element.":
e> "Take the maximum of the top two stack elements.";
"This fold replaces each element in the row by the
maximum of the numbers up to that element. So e.g.
[2 1 3 5 4] becomes [2 2 3 5 5].";
_&, "Count unique elements. This is how many towers you see.";
p "Print array of results.";
W% "Reverse the rows for the next run. Together with the transpose at
the start this rotates the grid counter-clockwise.";
; "Get rid of the grid so that it isn't printed at the end.";
```

}
```
I intentionally didn't look at any of the other answers, I wanted to see if I could work something out myself. My approach was to flatten the input arrays to a one-dimensional array and precompute offsets to the rows from all four directions. Then I used shift right to test whether the next tower was falsy and if it was, then increment the counter for each row.
I am hoping there is lots of ways to improve this, perhaps not precalculate the offsets, but rather use some sort of overflow/modulo on the 1D input array? And perhaps combine my loops, get more functional, deduplicate.
**Any suggestions would be appreciated!**
**Update #1** : Progress, we have the technology! I was able to get rid of the precalculated offsets and do them inline with ternary operators strung together. Also was able to get rid of my if statement and convert the for loops into whiles.
**Update #2** : This is pretty frustrating; no pizza party for me. I figured going functional and using recursion would shave off many bytes, but my first few tries ended up being larger by as much as 100 characters! In desperation, I went whole-hog on using ES6 fat arrow functions to really pare it down. Then I took to replacing boolean operators with arithmetic ones and removing parens, semi-colons and spaces whereever I could. I even quit declaring my vars and polluted the global namespace with my local symbols. Dirty, dirty. After all that effort, I beat my Update #1 score by a whopping 8 characters, down to 256. Blargh!
If I applied the same ruthless optimizations and ES6 tricks to my Update #1 function, I'd beat this score by a mile. I may do an Update #3 just to see what that would look like.
**Update #3** : Turns out the fat arrow recursive approach had lots more life in it, I just needed to work with the 2 dimensional input directly rather than flattening it and get better about leveraging the closure scopes. I rewrote the inner array offset calculations twice and got the same score, so this approach may be close to minned out!

This is probably a really poor golf. I thought the problem was interesting, so I decided to tackle it without looking at anyone else's solution. As I type this sentence I have yet to look at the answers on this question. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has already done a shorter Python program ;)
**I/O Example**
```
$ ./towers.py <<< '[[4,3,5,2,1],[5,4,1,3,2],[1,5,2,4,3],[2,1,3,5,4],[3,2,4,1,5]]'
[2, 3, 1, 4, 5]
[3, 4, 3, 2, 1]
[1, 2, 2, 2, 2]
[3, 3, 2, 1, 2]
```
You may optionally include whitespace in the input. Pretty much anywhere, honestly. So long as you can `eval()` it, it'll work.
**Explanation**
The only interesting part of this program is the first line. It defines a function `f(l)` that tells you how many towers can be seen in a row, and the rest of the program is just applying that function to every possible position.
When called, it finds the length of `l` and saves it in a variable `n`. Then it creates a new variable `k` with this pretty monstrous list comprehension:
```
[l[c]for c in range(n)if l[c]>([0]+list(l))[c]]
```
It's not too bad when you break it down. Since `n==len(l)`, everything before the `if` just represents `l`. However, using `if` we can remove some elements from the list. We construct a list with `([0]+list(l))`, which is just "`l` with a `0` added to the beginning" (ignore the call to `list()`, that's only there because sometimes `l` is a generator and we need to make sure it's actually a list here). `l[c]` is only put into the final list if it's greater than `([0]+list(l))[c]`. This does two things:
* Since there's a new element at the beginning of the list, the index of each `l[c]` becomes `c+1`. We're effectively comparing each element to the element to the left of it. If it's greater, it's visible. Otherwise it's hidden and removed from the list.
* The first tower is always visible because there's nothing that can block it. Because we put 0 at the beginning, the first tower is always greater. (If we didn't do this `[0]+` nonsense and just compared `l[c]` to `l[c-1]`, Python would compare the first tower to the last one (you can index into a list from the end with `-1`, `-2`, etc.), so if the last tower was taller than the first one we'd get the wrong result.
When all is said and done, `l` contains some number of towers and `k` contains each one of those that isn't shorter than its immediate neighbour to the left. If none of them were (e.g. for `f([1,2,3,4,5])`), then `l == k`. We know there's nothing left to do and return `n` (the length of the list). If `l != k`, that means at least one of the towers was removed this time around and there may be more to do. So, we return `f(k)`. God, I love recursion. Interestingly, `f` always recurses one level deeper than is strictly "necessary". When the list that will be returned is generated, the function has no way of knowing that at first.
When I started writing this explanation, this program was 223 bytes long. While explaining things I realized that there were ways to save characters, so I'm glad I typed this up! The biggest example is that `f(l)` was originally implemented as an infinite loop that was broken out of when the computation was done, before I realized recursion would work. It just goes to show that the first solution you think of won't always be the best. :)

[Question]
[
You are given as input two strings representing positive integers in base 10, such as `"12345"` and `"42"`. Your task is to output a string containing their product, `"518490"` in this case.
The twist is that you may not use any numerical types in your code. No `ints`, `float`s, `unsigned long`s, etc., no built-in complex number types or arbitrary precision integers, or anything along those lines. You many not use literals of those types, nor any function, method, operator etc. that returns them.
You *can* use strings, booleans, arrays, or anything else that wouldn't normally be used to represent a number. (But note that neither indexing into an array nor getting its length are likely to be possible without invoking a numeric type.) `char`s are permitted, but you may not perform any arithmetic or bitwise operations on them or otherwise treat them as anything else other than a token representing part of a string. (Lexicographical comparison of `char`s is allowed.)
You may not work around the restriction. This includes (but is not limited to) using numeric types inside an `eval` type function, implicit type conversions into numerical types, using numeric or bitwise operators on non-numeric types that support them, using numerical types stored inside container types, or calling functions or external programs that return numerical results in string form. (I reserve the right to add to this list if other workarounds appear in the answers.) You must implement the multiplication yourself using only non-numeric types.
Input and output may be by any convenient method, as long as the data enters and exits your code in the form of a string. You may assume each of the two input arguments contains only the ASCII characters `[0-9]` and will not start with `0`. Your output shouldn't have leading zeroes either.
One more thing: your code **must** correctly handle inputs up to **at least 10 characters in length**, and **must** run in under a minute on a modern computer for **all** inputs in that range. Before posting, please check that when given inputs `9999999999` and `9999999999`, your program gives an output of `99999999980000000001`, in less than a minute. This restriction exists specifically to prevent answers that work by allocating an array of size `a*b` and then iterating over it, so please bear in mind that answers of that form will not be eligible to win.

You might recognise last two as RSA-100 (50 x 50 digits) and RSA-768 (116 x 116 digits).
Using GNU sed on a not-very-modern (2007-era Intel Core 2), the last of those takes over a minute, but it comes faster on a newer processor:
* Q6600: >1 minute
* i7-3770: 26 seconds
* i7-6700: 22 seconds
The puny 10-digit multiply specified in the question takes well under a second on any of these (despite being full of pathological nines).
I believe it's standard sed, with no extensions. POSIX guarantees hold space of 8192 bytes only, which limits us to multiplying 400x400 digit numbers, but implementations can provide more. GNU sed is limited only by available memory, so could manage something much bigger, if you're willing to wait.
And I'm confident that I have complied with the rules - that's almost a given in a language that has no numbers. :-)
## Explanation
I use a unary/decimal hybrid, converting decimal numbers into a sequence of unary:
```
42 => _xxxx_xx
```
In unary decimal, addition is easy. We iterate from least-significant to most-significant digit, concatenating the x's:
```
X=965 Y=106 SUM
_xxxxxxxxx_xxxxxx_xxxxx _x__xxxxxx
_xxxxxxxxx_xxxxxx _x_ _xxxxxxxxxxx
_xxxxxxxxx _x _xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx
_xxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx
```
We then remove whitespace, and deal with carry by converting 10
consecutive x's to one of the next unit:
```
_xxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx 10.6.11
_xxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx_x 10.7.1
_x__xxxxxxx_x 1.0.7.1
```
Once we have addition, multiplication is possible. We multiply x\*y by considering the last digit of
y. Add x to the accumulator that many times, then move to the next
digit and shift x one decimal place to the left. Repeat until y is
zero.

If (lots of) leading zeroes are allowed, the last 12 characters are not needed.
This essentially performs the standard multiplication by hand. Digits are represented as strings of repeated `I`s (like primitive Roman numerals).

D = {} # dictionary for conversion from and to digits
i = "" # iterates over digits
for c in "0123456789":
D[c] = i # map digit to Roman digit
D[i] = c # and vice versa
i += "I" # increments Roman digit

real 0m0.129s
user 0m0.096s
sys 0m0.027s
```
Explanation: it's peasant multiplication, so I repeatedly halve&double. Halving is done by halving digits & marking remainders like so: 1234 -> 0b1a1b2a; then find and replace on the b's: 06a17a; then cleaning up -> 617.
Addition is done like so... first of all, I pad both strings to the same length and make pairs from the digits. Then I add the digits by constructing a string that has the length of each digit and concatenating; I remove a string of that length from the start of '0123456789abcdefghij', and then keep the first char. So, eg, "9"+"9"->"i". NB I avoid actually using length functions here to avoid number types entirely; removing the prefix is done with a regexp instead.
So now I have a string containing a mix of digits and letters. The letters represent numbers with a carry digit; I prepend 0 to the number, then repeatedly replace digit-letter patterns with the result of the carry until the addition is complete.

Uses [Russian Peasant multiplication](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_multiplication#Russian_peasant_multiplication). When adding digits, we convert them to unary ('5' => [R,R,R,R,R]), concatenate the lists, then convert back. `U` converts to unary, using `R` as the unary digit. We compute `b/=2` as `b=b*5/10`.

# Haskell, 231 bytes
This defines an operator # which multiplies two string representations of natural numbers. It works by defining an elementary increment/decrement operation on strings, then uses it to build up addition and multiplication. A little extra magic gives some exponential speedups that make it all possible..
```
r=reverse
n="9876543210"
t=True
c&(x:y)|c==x=head y|t=c&y
m%[]="1";m%(c:s)|c==last m=head m:m%s|t=c&m:s
[]!y=y;x![]=x;(x:a)!('0':b)=x:a!b;x!y=(r n%x)!(n%y)
"0"?_="0";x?('0':y)|all(=='0')y="0"|t=('0':x)?y;x?y=x?(n%y)!x
x#y=r$r x?r y
```
This approach is fast enough that even on a 2008 laptop in the unoptimized ghci REPL, the test case takes just a fraction of a second:
```
λ> :set +s
λ> let test = replicate 10 '9'
(0.00 secs, 0 bytes)
λ> test
"9999999999"
(0.00 secs, 1069784 bytes)
λ> test # test
"99999999980000000001"
(0.06 secs, 13451288 bytes)
```
Here's a check that all of the two-digit products are correct:
```
λ> and [ show (x * y) == (show x # show y) | x <- [0..100], y <- [0..100] ]
True
```

**Edit** Bug fixed: missing clearing a carry flag
It can be done with just symbol manipulation in near 0 time.
In this version you could use any char instead of the digits, as long as the symbol are in ascending order.
Notes: using strings, hashmap with string key, arrays used as list. No indexing, the arrays are traversed using 'map' or rotated using push & shift.
All '+' are string concatenation.

## Python 2 (555)
I wouldn't normally answer my own challenge so quickly (or at all), but I wanted to prove it could be done. (Luckily some other answers did that before this one, but I couldn't help wanting to finish it.) There's some more golfing that could be done, but I think this is reasonable. It handles the `9999999999x9999999999` case in under 0.03s on my machine.
```
d="123456789";I=dict(zip('0'+d,d+'0'))
def r(x):return reversed(x)
def s(x):return''.join(x)
def i(x):
try:
h=I[x.next()]
if h!='0':h+=s(x)
else:h+=i(x)
return h
except:return'1'
def b(x,y):
for c in'0'+d:
if c==y:break
x=iter(i(x))
return x
def a(x,y):
z=''
for c in y:
x=b(x,c)
try:z+=x.next()
except:z+='0'
return z+s(x)
def n(x,y):
z='0'
for c in'0'+d:
if c==y:break
z=a(iter(z),x)
return z
def o(x,y):

l='';z=''
for c in y:
z=a(iter(z),l+s(n(x,c)))
l+='0'
return z
def m(x,y):
return s(r(o(r(x),r(y))))
```
Example use: `m("12345","42")`
It works by doing long multiplication using string manipulations. Sometimes the variables are strings and sometimes they're iterators over strings, which makes it possible to get the first element without using an integer literal. Everything's stored with the digits reversed, so that the first element is the least significant digit.
Here's a function-by-function explanation:
* `r` and `s` are bookkeeping functions. (`r` is just an alias for `reversed`, which makes a reverse iterator, and `s` converts iterators into strings.)
* `i` increments the number in a string by 1, including cases like `39+1=40` and `99+1=100`.
* `b` adds `x` and `y`, but `y` must be only one digit. It works by incrementing `x` `y` times.
* `a` adds two numbers together that can both have multiple digits, by calling `b` for each digit in `y`.
* `n` multiplies `x` and `y`, but `y` must be only one digit. It works by adding `x` to itself `y` times.
* `o` multiplies `x` and `y`, where both arguments can have multiple digits. It uses classic long-multiplication
* `m` just converts its string inputs into reverse iterators and hands them to `o`, then reverses the result and converts it into a string.

## Scala, 470 characters
(the `⇒` are standard scala but can equivalently be replaced with `=>` if we're counting bytes)
```
def p(a: String,b: String)={type D=List[Char]
val d="0123456789".toList
def v(s: String)=s.toList.map{c⇒d.takeWhile(c.!=)}
def u(l:D, a:D):(Char,D)=l match {
case _::_::_::_::_::_::_::_::_::_::m⇒u(m,'a'::a)
case _⇒(('a'::l).zip(d).last._2,a)}
val o=(("", List[Char]())/:v(a).tails.toList.init.map{l⇒(v(b) map {_.flatMap(_⇒l.head)})++l.tail.map(_⇒Nil) reverse}.reduce(_.zipAll(_, Nil, Nil).map{t⇒t._1++t._2}))({(t,e)⇒val s=u(t._2++e,Nil);(s._1+t._1,s._2)})
u(o._2, Nil)._1+o._1}
```
Here we're emulating digits using the length of lists, being careful not to use any numeric operations - only folds, maps, zips and the like. A number is a list of these digits (order strategically reversed halfway through the computation); we multiply individual digits with `flatMap` and our rows up with `reduce`. `u` handles figuring out the carry (by directly matching against a list of >10 elements, and recursing) and converting digits back to characters, and we use a `/:` to work our way through the stack with that. The required example completes in less than a second.

# Haskell ~~507~~ 496
This works for arbitrarily large integers. I define custom representations for the natural numbers from 0 to 18 (the largest natural number equal to the sum of two digits), and define little-endian multiplication in terms of digit\*number multiplication, which I define in terms of number+number addition, which I define in terms of digit+digit addition. I have a reduction function that expands 10--18 values into their digital decomposition. This then just reads and reverses the two strings, translates to the custom bindings, multiplies, and translates back, reversing to get the right result.
## Edit 2
I saved a few characters by creating short local aliases for multi-character commands I use more than once, as well as removing spaces and parentheses, and by replacing `(`-`)` pairs with `$` when possible.
```
data S=Z|A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|R deriving(Enum, Ord, Eq)
p Z=id
p x=succ.p(pred x)
s Z=id
s x=pred.s(pred x)
z=s J
r[]=[]
r(x:y)|x<J=x:r y
r(x:[])=z x:[A]
r(x:y)=z x:(r$p A a:b)where(a:b)=r y
a x y=r$w(r x)(r y)
m Z _=[]
m _[]=[]
m x y=r$a y(m(pred x)y)
t[]_=[Z]
t _[]=[Z]
t(x:z)y=r$a(m x y)(Z:r(t z y))
i '0'=Z
i x=succ.i.pred$x
b Z='0'
b x=succ.b.pred$x
w[]y=y
w x[]=x
w(x:c)(y:d)=p x y:(w c d)
o=map
v=reverse
f=(o i).v
g=v.o b
main=getLine>>=putStrLn.(\[x,y]->g$t(f x)(f y)).words
```
For reference, S is the custom integer-like data type, `p` is 'plus' (digit+digit addition), `s` is subtract (for reduction), `r` is reduce (expand into digital decomposition), `a` is addition (number+number addition), `m` is multiply (digit\*number multiplication), `t` is times (number\*number multiplication), `i` is 'interpret' (convert string to list of `S`), `b` is 'back' (list of S to string), and f and g are just shortenings for golfing purposes. I didn't use numbers, even implicitly; the closest I got was using successors and predecessors, which are much higher level mathematical concepts than addition and multiplication of natural numbers.

[Question]
[
[Giuga numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuga_number) ([A007850](https://oeis.org/A007850)) are composite numbers \$n\$ such that, for each prime factor \$p\_i\$ of \$n\$, \$p\_i \mid \left( \frac n {p\_i} -1 \right)\$. That is, that for each prime factor \$p\_i\$, you can divide \$n\$ by the factor, decrement it and the result is divisible by \$p\_i\$
For example, \$n = 30\$ is a Giuga number. The prime factors of \$30\$ are \$2, 3, 5\$:
* \$\frac {30} 2 - 1 = 14\$, which is divisible by \$2\$
* \$\frac {30} 3 - 1 = 9\$, which is divisible by \$3\$
* \$\frac {30} 5 - 1 = 5\$, which is divisible by \$5\$
However, \$n = 66\$ isn't, as \$\frac {66} {11} - 1 = 5\$ which is not divisible by \$11\$.
The first few Giuga numbers are \$30, 858, 1722, 66198, 2214408306, ...\$
---
Given a positive integer \$n\$, determine if it is a Giuga number. You can output either:
* Two distinct, consistent values to indicate whether \$n\$ is a Giuga number or not (e.g `True`/`False`, `1`/`0`, `5`/`"abc"`)
* Two classes of values, which are naturally interpreted as truthy and falsey values in your language (e.g. `0` and non-zero integers, and empty vs non-empty list etc.)
Additionally, you may choose to take a [black box function](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/13706/66833) \$f(x)\$ which returns 2 distinct consistent values that indicate if its input \$x\$ is prime or not. Again, you may choose these two values.
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest code in bytes wins.

The function is assumed to:
* be predefined under the name `1`
* output either `0` or `1` to standard out, for prime and non-prime respectively
* always succeed (exit with a status code of 0)
For each prime factor `x`, `$[$1/x%x]` takes the residue of the input mod `x` and tries to execute it as a command. The only number that's defined as a command is the black-box function `1`, which will succeed; otherwise, the command fails, and because of the `-e` option, Zsh exits with a non-zero status code.

### How these work
The condition \$p\_i \mid \left( \frac n {p\_i} -1 \right)\$ can be translated to
$$
\frac{n}{p\_i}-1 \equiv 0 \quad(\operatorname{mod} \ p\_i) \\
\frac{n}{p\_i} \equiv 1 \quad(\operatorname{mod} \ p\_i) \\
n \equiv p\_i \quad(\operatorname{mod} \ p\_i^2)
$$
So \$n-p\_i\$ (equivalently, \$p\_i-n\$) must be divisible by \$p\_i\$ at least twice.

### So what?
```
->n{(2...z=n).all?
```
Check every number between 2 and n-1, use a temporary variable to skip over composite divisors.
```
{|c|z%c>0
```
If c is divisor of `z` then it's also a prime divisor of `n`, if not we can skip this number.
```
||n/c%c==1
```
Check if `n/c-1` can be divided by `c`
```
&&z/=c}
```
At this point, we must divide `z` by `c` before continuing. Once is enough, because if `n/c-1` can be divided by `c`, then `n` can't be divided by `c` more than once.
```
&&z<n}
```
Final check: did we divide z at least once? If not, then n is a prime number.

1 for Giuga number, either 0 or an empty vector for non-Giuga number - both of which MATL considers falsy.
*(note: had previously posted a 9 byte version which was wrong)*
**Explanation**:
\$p\_i \mid \left( \frac n {p\_i} -1 \right) \Longrightarrow p\_i^2 \mid \left( n - {p\_i} \right) \Longrightarrow p\_i^2 \mid \left( {p\_i} - n \right)\$
1. `Yf` - get the prime factors of the input (if `1` is the input, `Yf` returns an empty vector; primes return themselves)
2. `G-` - subtract the input from each factor (let's call this S = \${p\_i} - n \$)
3. `t?` - is it truthy? (for `1` this is an empty vector; for primes it's a 0; either way, falsey)
4. `6M` - If so, bring back a copy of the list of factors
5. `U` - square each one
6. `\` - compute the mod of S with respect to these squares
7. `~A` - And check if that is all 0s
If the check at step 3 failed, that falsy S is left on the stack. If it succeeded, the result of the final step is left on the stack.

## Background
Define a **run** in a list as a maximal contiguous subsequence of identical values. For example, the list
```
0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2
```
has five runs of lengths 3, 2, 1, 3, 2 respectively. (Think of run-length encoding.)
Then define a **cut operation** as removing one item from each run of a list. Applied to the list above, the result will be `0 0 1 3 3 2`.
Finally, the **cut resistance** of a list is the number of cut operations needed to reduce it to an empty list. The cut resistance of the list above is 3:
```
0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2
0 0 1 3 3 2
0 3
(empty)
```
Note that the cut resistance can be higher than the maximal run length, since multiple runs may fuse in the way:
```
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0
0 1 0 0 0
0 0
0
(empty)
```

Using the `0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2` example:
1. `(......_&,)` Prepend infinity `_`:
```
_ 0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2
```
2. `(..2=/....)` Are consecutive pairs equal? Returns 0-1 list of same length as input:
```
_ 0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2 <-- Before
0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 <-- After
```
3. `(#~.......)` Apply the above mask as a filter to the input. This drops the first member of every group:
```
0 0 1 3 3 2
```
4. `^:a:` Repeat until we reach a fixed point, returning all intermediate results (0-padded on the right):
```
0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2
0 0 1 3 3 2 0 0 0 0 0
0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
```
5. `1-~&#` Subtract 1 from `1-~` the above result, after applying the "length of" verb to both lists `&#`. Since the length of 1 is 1, it remains unchanged, while the result above becomes 4:
```
4 - 1
3

Same as Jonah's, scan of x at where equal each-prior.

Using `0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2` as example:
`=':` means equal each prior
```
=': 0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2
0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 / zeros in the result correspond to the first item of the run
```
then indexing into the argument with this mask effectively drops the first item of each run. the indices are:
```
&=': 0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2 / where equal each-prior?
1 2 4 7 8 10
0 0 0 1 1 0 3 3 3 2 2@1 2 4 7 8 10 / indexing

```
we can turn this into a function and repeat until the result stops changing
```

[Try it online!](https://tio.run/##K6gsyfj/vyRHr7TQTdlZp@T/fxMdBTRkjISMwMgQxkCWQtcIAA "Pyth – Try It Online")
There's a bug in the parser related to this use of `qF#`, because if I append three variables at the end (e.g. `NNQ`), it [crashes the parser](https://tio.run/##K6gsyfj/vyRHr7TQTdlZp8TPL/D/fxMdBTRkjISMwMgQxkCWQtf4L7@gJDM/r/i/bgoA "Pyth – Try It Online"). This is because `qF` should be treated as having arity 1, but it's being treated as having arity 2. However, it works fine as is,
because the rest of the program is implicit, so the parser completes before anything goes wrong.
Explanation:
```
tl.uqF#C,t
.u Repeatedly apply the following function until the result stops changing:
t Remove the first element of the input (tail)
, Pair with the input
C Transpose, resulting in all 2 element sublists.
# Filter on
qF the two elements being equal.
l Length
t Subtract 1 for the empty list.
```
Note that the intermediate lists look like:
```
[1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]
[[0, 0], [1, 1], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]]
[[[0, 0], [0, 0]], [[0, 0], [0, 0]]]
[[[[0, 0], [0, 0]], [[0, 0], [0, 0]]]]
[]
```
[Try it online!](https://tio.run/##K6gsyfj/P0uvtNBN2Vmn5P//aEMdBQMwMgQjOBsrA0TGAgA "Pyth – Try It Online")
This occurs because the program doesn't both to select one element from each pair of numbers. Instead, the pair itself is used as the element of the list in the next iteration. This saves 2 bytes.

## Explanation:
It's a quotation (anonymous function) that takes a sequence from the data stack as input and leaves an integer on the data stack as output.
* `0 swap` Tuck away our cut resistance value for safe keeping.
* `[ ... ] until-empty` Keep doing something to a sequence until it's empty. This is shorter than having to call `dup`, `empty?`, `drop`, and the like.
* `[ ] group-by values` Group the runs of a sequence. This is shorter than `[ = ] monotonic-split`.
* `[ rest ] map-concat` Cut the runs and glue 'em back together.
* `[ 1 + ] dip` Increment the cut resistance value.

[Question]
[
Integers are tedious to represent in [Brain-Flak](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Brain-Flak). There are 8 operators:
```
() Evaluates to 1, but does not push anything on any stack
[] Evaluates to an indeterminate value for the purposes of this question
{} Removes the top of the stack and evaluates to it
<> Switches to or back from the alternate stack and evaluates to zero
(foo) Pushes the value of the expression foo to the stack and evaluates to it
[foo] Evaluates to the negation of foo
{foo} Evaluates the expression foo until the top of the stack is zero
<foo> Evaluates to zero but executes foo anyway
```
`foo` may consist of multiple operators, in which case they are evaluated and summed. For example `(()())` pushes `2` to the stack (and evaluates to `2` too).
Obviously, the `(()...())` mechanism is not useful in Code Golf as large numbers would take `n*2+2` bytes to represent. Your challenge is therefore to write a program or function that will output in as few bytes as possible a Brain-Flak program that will push a given positive integer `n` to the active stack. This program must not make any assumptions about the existing contents of the stacks, so it must not leave the stacks exchanged or add or remove extra values from the stacks.
Although your program or function must be capable of returning a working Brain-Flak program for all inputs from 1 to 1,000,000 the winner will be the program or function that generates the smallest set of appropriate Brain-Flak programs for all 1061 prime numbers between 1,000 and [10,000](http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/numbers/primes.html). You should note the total size of your outputs for those 1061 inputs as part of your submission. Your program or function may accept the integer and return the (string) Brain-Flak program in any of the usual acceptable I/O formats. Ties will be broken using the size of your program or function.

The relevant function is `push(n)`. To call it simply call push on the integer you wish to represent.
# Explanation
The main optimization done by the program is multiplication hard-coding. The idea of multiplication hardcoding is pretty simple. You push the a number and then pop and push it to create a new value. For example to multiply by two you can use the following code `((n){})` where n code producing a specific number. This works because both `(n)` and `{}` have a value of n.
This simple idea can be made more complex for larger numbers. Take for instance 5 it was discovered a while ago that the best way to multiply by five was `(((n)){}){}{}`. This code makes two copies of the n multiplies one by 4 and adds the two. Using the same strategy I make every multiplication based on a number's binary representation. I won't get into the details of how this works right now but I do this by chopping off the first one of the binary representation and replacing 0 with `){}` and 1 with `){}{}`. It then makes sure that n is pushed the appropriate number of times and balances all the parentheses. (If you want to know how this is done you can look at my code). If you want to know why this works just ask me in a comment. I don't think anyone actually reads all the updates to my post so I left the explanation out.
When the algorithm attempts to find a multiplication hardcode it attempts all of a numbers prime factors. It ignores composite factors because at one point composite factors could always be expressed more concisely as its own prime factors it is not known if this is still true.
The other byte saving mechanism is a polynomial solution finder. There are certain forms of polynomials that are easy to represent with decrementing loops. These polynomials include, but are not limited to, polygonal numbers. This optimization finds polynomials that fit the form and creates the code that makes them.

## Explanation
This only implements two rules as of now:
* If n is divisible by two return `(n/2){}`
* If n is not divisible by two return `n-1()`
It also hardcodes all the numbers smaller than 6.

## Perl, ~~59222~~ ~~59156~~ 58460 characters
* `n()` (11322660 characters)
* `(n){}()` (64664 characters)
* `((n)){}{}` (63610 characters)
* `((n)()){}{}` (63484 characters) - this is a novel calculation
* `(n){({}[()])}{}` (60748 characters)
* `n[m]` (62800 characters)
* `(n){m({}[l])}{}` (58460 characters) - this is a novel calculation
The formula for that last calculation is `n(n/l+1)/2+mn/l`. I've tried some other calculations but they are no longer helpful for the given output. The program actually generates all the values up to 9999 but then lists the given prime numbers and their total length.

Similar idea to the other answers where known-useful functions are used to build up larger numbers from good representations of simpler numbers.
One difference is that instead of solving subproblems in terms of smaller numbers, I'm solving subproblems in terms of numbers with shorter representations. I think this makes it more elegant to take advantage of negative numbers as well as handling the case where smaller numbers are represented in terms of larger numbers.
Also, trying to find all numbers that can be represented in a certain size rather trying to represent a particular number as shortly as possible actually simplifies certain calculations. Instead of working a formula in reverse to see whether it can be applied to a number, the formula can be worked forwards and applied to every number.
Another difference is that known solutions are stored in two pieces -- an (optional) "prefix" and a "suffix" (more like an infix). The valuation of the prefix is expected to be ignored when calculating the given number -- the prefix just contains code that sets up the suffix to run (generally by pushing one or more things to the stack). So, given a prefix and a suffix, the corresponding number can be pushed onto the stack with `prefix(suffix)`.
This split basically solves the same problem as the `unpack` function in Wheat Wizard's answer. Instead of wrapping code with `<...>` only to undo this later, such code is simply added to the prefix.
In a few cases, the prefix actually does get evaluated (mainly for the pseudo-exponentiation operation), so its valuation is also stored. However, this doesn't really cause a big problem, as the generator isn't trying to construct specific numbers. It seem to theoretically imply that there could be two pieces of code of the same length and generating the same number that wouldn't be redundant in the cache due to having different prefix valuations. I didn't bother accounting for this though, as it doesn't seem to matter much (at least in this domain).
I imagine it would be easy to whittle down the byte count just by adding more cases, but I've had enough for the moment.
I've run to 1000000, but only done sanity checking up to 100000.

[Pastebin](http://pastebin.com/uZY846bz)
**Explanation:**
We pre-populate a list *R* of Brain-flak representation evaluating to individual integers over a larger than necessary range [1,*m*-1] to define our function *f*. The representations are formed by taking the lowest unused representation (indexed by *l*) and forming many new representations from it, keeping only the shortest. The lowest unused representation assumes that all number 1 to *l* have been assigned a representation, and that these representations have already been used to produce new numbers. If a value less than *l* gets a shorter representation we must go back and reproduce numbers beginning form that point. The function *f* produces a program saving the number to the stack by adding parenthesis.
I didn't know any Brainflak when I began this, and greatly appreciate [Eamon Olive's answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/89737/46756) for pointing out the formula for triangle numbers. Mostly I've generalized the summation and been relentless about checking sums and differences. Adding lots of multiples of sums has had a great effect.
For those who care, here is the [scratch code](http://pastebin.com/aueB36NJ) I used to see which formulas were worth it.
**Representation Formulas:**
1. Multiplication by small primes:
`(X){}`
`((X)){}{}`
`((((X)))){}{}{}{}`
`((((((X)))))){}{}{}{}{}{}`
2. Addition *X*+*Y*:
`XY`
3. Subtraction *X*-*Y*:
`X[Y]`
4. Summation to and including *X* of increment *Y*:
`(X){({}[Y])}{}`
5. Multiples of summations to *X* of increment *Y*, plus *X*:
`(X)({({}[Y])}{}){}`
`(X)(({({}[Y])}{})){}{}`
`(X)(({({}[Y])}{}){}){}`
etc...

I didn't know anything about brainflak before this challenge and only fiddled around with it a bit on tryitonline, so there could be obvious shortcuts I missed. This is a quite boring solution, just splits the input into `x=x/2+x%2` or `x=x/3+x%3`, whichever is shorter.
```
k=lambda x:"(("+o(x/3)+")){}{}"+(x%3)*"()"if x>3else"()"*x
m=lambda x:"("+o(x/2)+"){}"+(x%2)*"()"if x>6else"()"*x
o=lambda x:min(k(x),m(x),key=len)
b=lambda x:"("+o(x)+")"
```
Call it like so: `b(42)`

Husk is a golfing language so making a high scoring solution is a little hard, simply because long Husk code quickly becomes unwieldy. I just gave this a shot to practice my Husk.

Ooh, looks like I get to outgolf @Dennis in his own language again :-)
This is a 1-argument function (because Jelly's default output format for nested lists is a little ambiguous, meaning that it arguably doesn't fulfil the spec as a full program).
## Explanation
```
×=¥þ’¡`Ṡ
¡ Repeatedly apply the following operation,
’ {input-1} times in total:
þ For each element of the current value {perhaps made into a range}
` and of {the range from 1 to the} {input}:
= Compare corresponding elements, giving 0 for equal or 1 for unequal
× ¥ then multiply by one of the elements
Ṡ then replace each element with its sign
```
In order to understand this, it helps to look at the intermediate steps. For an input of 3, we get the following intermediate steps:
1. `[1,2,3]` (input, made into a range implicitly by the `þ`)
2. `[[1,0,0],[0,2,0],[0,0,3]]` (make a table with `[1,2,3]`, compare for equality to get `[[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]]`, then multiply by one of the values we compared)
3. `[[[1,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]],[[0,0,0],[0,2,0],[0,0,0]],[[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,3]]]` (the same idea again)
4. `[[[1,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]],[[0,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,0]],[[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,1]]]` (replace each element with its sign using `Ṡ`)
Note the fact that the input starts out 1-dimensional means that we have to loop (input-1) times in order to add (input-1) dimensions, producing an input-dimensional list.
Fun fact: this program contains five quicks in a row, `¥þ’¡``. (A quick is a modifier to a "link", or builtin, used to modify its behaviour or combine it with another link.)

### How it works
Achieving the task directly seems to be difficult (I haven't found a way), but contructing arrays of the same numbers and arrays of the same shape is quite easy.
`ð` makes the chain dyadic, and the integer input **n** serves as both left and right argument for the chain. It's possible to use a monadic chain instead, but the parsing rules for dyadic ones save three bytes here (two after accouting for `ð`).
The *Cartesian power* atom `ṗ`, with left and right argument equal to **n**, constructs the array of all vectors of length **n** that consist of elements of **[1, ..., n]**, sorted lexicographically.
When **n = 3**, this yields
```
[[1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 2], [1, 1, 3], [1, 2, 1], [1, 2, 2], [1, 2, 3], [1, 3, 1], [1, 3, 2], [1, 3, 3], [2, 1, 1], [2, 1, 2], [2, 1, 3], [2, 2, 1], [2, 2, 2], [2, 2, 3], [2, 3, 1], [2, 3, 2], [2, 3, 3], [3, 1, 1], [3, 1, 2], [3, 1, 3], [3, 2, 1], [3, 2, 2], [3, 2, 3], [3, 3, 1], [3, 3, 2], [3, 3, 3]]
```
The *equal each* quicklink `E€` tests the elements of all constructed vectors for equality.
When **n = 3**, we get
```
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]
```
which are the elements of the 3-dimensional identity matrix, in a flat array.
The dyadic quicklink `+þ’¡` is called with left argument and right argument **n**. The quick `¡` calls the decrement atom `’`, which yields **n-1**, then calls the *add table* quicklink `+þ` **n-1** times.
Initially, the arguments of `+þ` are both **n**. After each call, the right argument is replaced by the left one, and the left one is replaced by the return value of the call.
The *table* quick calls the *add* atom `+` for each elements of its left argument and each element of its right argument, constructing a table/matrix of the return value. The initial integer arguments **n** are promoted to the ranges **[1, ... n]**.
When **n = 3**, after promotion but before the first iteration, both arguments are
```
[1, 2, 3]
```
Adding each integer in this array to each integer in this array yields
```
[[2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6]]
```
In the next invocation, we add each of these arrays to the integers in **[1, 2, 3]**. Addition vectorizes (adding an integer to an array adds it to each element), so we get
```
[[[3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 6], [5, 6, 7]],
[[4, 5, 6], [5, 6, 7], [6, 7, 8]],
[[5, 6, 7], [6, 7, 8], [7, 8, 9]]]
```
This array has the same shape as the 3-dimensional identity matrix, but not the correct elements.
Finally, the *mold* atom `ṁ` discards the integer entries of the result to the right and replaces them in order with the elements in the result to the left.

Explanation: `i` is used to keep track of whether the cell is on the main diagonal or not. Initially it's undefined, so on the first recursive call we always pass the first dimension, while on subsequent recursive calls we only pass it on if the current dimension index is equal to all previous dimensions, otherwise we pass an index of `n` which indicates that all of the recursive cells should be zero.

[Question]
[
Jack and Jane decided to play a game of chess to while away time. Unfortunately, Jack is rather bad at visualizing. He finds it tough to figure the moves possible for a given piece other than a pawn, of course!
Your challenge is to help find Jack the possible options for a given piece (other than a pawn).
In case one has forgotten, the various pieces are denoted by:
* K: King
* Q: Queen
* N: Knight
* B: Bishop
* R: Rook
As an example, in the following image the Knight is located at `d4` and can move to `c2`, `b3`, `b5`, `c6`, `e6`, `f5`, `f3`, `e2`. For a given input:
```
Nd4
```
you would produce:
```
Nc2 Nb3 Nb5 Nc6 Ne6 Nf5 Nf3 Ne2
```
Rules:
* The order of the output doesn't matter as long as all the possible moves are listed
* The possible moves can be separated by whitespaces, newlines or any other delimiter
* The input can be passed to the program as a parameter or via `STDIN`
* Whitespace in the program shall be counted, so make optimum use of it
This is code golf. (Please avoid making use of any tools/utilities specifically designed for the purpose.) The shortest answer wins!

for i in $c -${c// / -};do echo $a${d[$[(i+=b)/20]]}$[i%20];done|grep '[a-h][1-8]$'
```
# How it works
* The idea is to represent every field on the board by a numeric value, taking its coordinates as a base-20 number and subtracting 200. This way, `a1` becomes `20 * 10 + 1 - 200 = 1`, `h8` becomes `20 * 17 + 8 - 200 = 148`, etc.
Now, the possible moves of the Bishop can be represented by (positive or negative) multiples of 19 – same amount of steps up (+20) and to the left (-1) – or 21 – same amount of steps up (+20) and to the right (+1).
The figure's placement after the move is simply the sum of its original position and the movement. After adding those numbers, we have to check if their sum corresponds to a valid field on the board.
Since the base (20) is more than twice as big as the highest possible number (8), the sum cannot wrap around the board, e.g., moving *Bh1* seven steps to the right and up will result in an invalid board position.
* The line
```
B={19..133..19}\ {21..147..21};K=1\ {19..21};N='18 22 39 41';R={1..7}\ {2..14..2}0;Q=$B\ $R
```
enumerates all possible moves of the pieces that are represented by positive numbers.
* The commands
```
a=${1%??};b=$[20#${1:1}-200];c=`eval{,} echo '$'$a`;d=({a..h})
```
stores the piece's identifier in variable *a*, the original position's numeric representation in *b* and the letters *a* to *h* in the array *d*.
After brace expansion, `eval{,} echo '$'$a` becomes `eval eval echo '$'$a` (doubly evil), which evaluates to, e.g., `eval echo $K`, which evaluates to `echo 1 19 20 21`.
* `for i in $c -${c// / -};do …; done` loops over all possible movements and their negative counterparts.
* `echo $a${d[$[(i+=b)/20]]}$[i%20]` gives the final position after the movement.
* `grep '[a-h][1-8]$'` makes sure that we have a valid board position.

# Golfscript, ~~144~~ 135 characters
Instead of continuing to try golfing my [Python solution](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/25057/4800), I translated it into Golfscript:
```

d a b=abs(ord a-ord b)

```
The definition `h x y=...` is a hash function; valid moves will hash to character numbers that are in the 41-character string. This gets rid of the need for a "case" statement or equivalent.
I'm not planning to work further on this right now. It would be fun to see if someone can use a hash function in a more concise language to make a shorter solution.

[Question]

## The challenge
Write a function that takes two positive integers \$n\$ and \$k\$ as arguments and returns the number of the last person remaining out of \$n\$ after counting out each \$k\$-th person.
This is a code-golf challenge, so the shortest code wins.
## The problem
\$n\$ people (numbered from \$1\$ to \$n\$) are standing in a circle and each \$k\$-th is counted out until a single person is remaining (see the corresponding [wikipedia article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_problem)). Determine the number of this last person.
E.g. for \$k=3\$ two people will be skipped and the third will be counted out. I.e. for \$n=7\$ the numbers will be counted out in the order \$3 \, 6 \, 2 \, 7 \, 5 \, 1\$ (in detail \$\require{cancel}1 \, 2 \, \cancel{3} \, 4 \, 5 \, \cancel{6} \, 7 \, 1 \, \cancel{2} \, 4 \, 5 \, \cancel{7} \, 1 \, 4 \, \cancel{5} \, 1 \, 4 \, \cancel{1} \, 4\$) and thus the answer is \$4\$.
## Examples
```
J(7,1) = 7 // people are counted out in order 1 2 3 4 5 6 [7]
J(7,2) = 7 // people are counted out in order 2 4 6 1 5 3 [7]
J(7,3) = 4 // see above
J(7,11) = 1
J(77,8) = 1
J(123,12) = 21

## Minsky Register Machine (25 non-halt states)
Not technically a function, but it's in a computing paradigm which doesn't have functions per se...

Input in registers `n` and `k`; output in register `r`; it is assumed that `r=i=t=0` on entry. The first two halt instructions are error cases.

Important! The script calls itself recursively. So save the script as `f.ps1` file in the current directory. Also you can call a script block variable instead script file (see the test script below). That calls has same length.
Test script:
```
$f = {
param($n,$k)if($n-lt2){1}else{((&$f($n-1)$k)+$k-1)%$n+1}
}
@(
,(7, 1, 7)
,(7, 2, 7)
,(7, 3, 4)
,(7, 11, 1)
,(77, 8, 1)
,(123,12, 21)
) | % {
$n,$k,$expected = $_
$result = &$f $n $k
"$($result-eq$expected): $result"
}
```

# Background
One of the commonly meme'd aspects of javascript is its incredibly loose type coercion that allows for `+!![]+[+[]] == '10'` this technique can also be used to create letters as seen in the following example:
```
[[][[]]+[]][+[]][-~[]] == 'n'
[undefined+[]][+[]][-~[]] // [][[]] -> undefined
['undefined'][+[]][-~[]] // undefined+[] -> 'undefined'
['undefined'][0][-~[]] // +[] -> 0
'undefined'[-~[]] // ['undefined'][0] -> 'undefined'
'undefined'[1] // -~[] -> -(-1) -> 1
'n'
```
Some examples of js coercions:
```
[][[]] = undefined // out of bounds array access returns undefined
+[][[]] = NaN // the unary + operator coerces to numbers +undefined is NaN
+[] = 0 // empty arrays coerce to the number 0
~[]/[] = -Infinity // ~ coerces any value to a number then does bitwise negation and / coerces the second value to a number
[]+{} = '[Object object]' // plus coerces both values into strings if it can't do numeric addition
![] = false // ! coerces empty arrays to false
!![] = true // negation of previous coercion
+!![] = 1 // number coercion of true
-~[] = 1 // ~ coerces [] to 0 and the bitwise negation of 0 is -1, -(-1)=1
true+[] = 'true' // adding an empty array to a primitive coerces it to a string
'true'[+[]] = 't' // strings are treated as arrays by js
'true'[-~[]] = 'r'
```
[Here's a reference table of js coercions using different operators](https://delapouite.com/ramblings/javascript-coercion-rules.html)
Note: blue shaded cells in the table are strings while yellow cells are literals.
# Task
Given a string with only the letters `abcdefijlnorstuy` , convert it to valid javascript containing only the characters `[]+-~/{}!` that evaluates to the original string. **Note that this is not JSFuck** but is instead focused purely on a subset of strings that can be (relatively) concisely translated.

### How?
The following code snippets are used:
```
code | string | used for
------------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------
[[{}]+[]][+[]] | '[object Object]' | space, 'b', 'c', 'e', 'j', 'o', 't'
[!![]+[]][+[]] | 'true' | 'r', 'u'
[[][[]]+[]][+[]] | 'undefined' | 'd', 'f', 'i', 'n'
[![]+[]][+[]] | 'false' | 'a', 'l', 's'
[~[]/[]+[]][+[]] | '-Infinity' | 'y'
```
We pick the appropriate character in the resulting string with `[-~[]-...-~[]]`.
We can't access index \$0\$ this way, so we make sure that the snippets are ordered in such a way that this is never required. For instance, '*u*' is taken from '*true*' rather than from '*undefined*'.
[Answer]
I have a solution which works if you have infinite time and memory. I'm not 100% sure whether that's allowed within the rules here; I searched on [codegolf.meta.SE](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/) and didn't find anything saying that code-golf answers have to run in a reasonable length of time using a reasonable amount of memory. I also didn't find it forbidden in the "common loopholes" thread. If it makes my solution invalid, please let me know.
# JavaScript (ES6), ~~112, 110, 107~~ 106 bytes
```
s=>{for(q=[''];;c=q.shift(),q.push(...[...'[]+-~/{}!'].map(x=>c+x)))try{return eval(c)===s?c:d}catch(e){}}
```
It isn't restricted to string inputs, and can find short solutions in reasonable times, but unfortunately it's not feasible to solve for non-empty strings, even just single-characters like `'o'`. Here it is working on some inputs for which it is feasible.
```
> f(0)
"+[]"
> f(1)
"-~[]"
> f(-1)
"~[]"
> f(true)
"!+[]"
> f(false)
"![]"
> f('')
"[]+[]"
```
### How?
It's a breadth-first search. `q` is the queue, `c` is the current string. The breadth-first search algorithm will iterate through every possible string formed from the given alphabet, in order of length, so if a solution exists, it will be found.
We try evaluating `c` with the `eval` function, and return it if it evaluates to `s`. This comparison is done with `===` to avoid e.g. returning `+[]` which evaluates to 0 when we're looking for an expression which evaluates to the empty string. The variable `c` is uninitialised on the first iteration of the loop, but that's OK because it's only used within the `try` block.
We need `try`/`catch` because most candidate strings have syntax errors; as a bonus, instead of guarding the `return` with an `if` statement, we can return the non-existent name `d` because the error will get caught, allowing the loop to continue searching. This saves one byte, but it means the function stops working if you declare a variable named `d`, which is mildly amusing.

### How?
This is based on the same code snippets as [my JS answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/198474/58563), but a lookup string is used to retrieve the snippet ID and the position of the character.
Given the ASCII code \$c\$ of the character to be converted, the position in the lookup string is given by:
$$i=((c\times91)\bmod211)\bmod23$$
Given the ASCII code \$n\$ of the \$i\$-th character in the lookup string `".@C1A83J42/K70DIY"`:
* the snippet ID is \$\lfloor(n-45)/9\rfloor=\lfloor n/9\rfloor-5\$
* the position of the character is \$(n-45)\bmod9=n\bmod9\$
This is summarized in the following table.
```
char. | ASCII code | -45 | //9 | mod 9 | character lookup | output

**Explanation**
Each letter is converted to a string of the form
```
[{}+!![]+![]+~[]/[]+[][[]]][+[]][x]
```
Where `x` is a number of `-~[]`
`[{}+!![]+![]+~[]/[]+[][[]]][+[]]` evaluates to the string `[object Object]truefalse-Infinityundefined`, which contains all of our letters. We then index into it by using this snippet:
```
`[${'-~[]'.repeat(eval(p).search(c))}]`
```
It evaluates `[{}+!![]+![]+~[]/[]+[][[]]][+[]]` (stored in variable p), then finds the first index of the current letter we are processing. We repeat the string `+~-[]` (evaluates to 1) that number of times. That is wrapped around with square brackets, and appended to `p`.
Finally, everything is joined with `+`.

**Explanation**
Each letter is converted to a string of the form
```
[{}+!![]+![]+~[]/[]+[][[]]][+[]][x]
```
Where `x` is a number of `-~[]`
`[{}+!![]+![]+~[]/[]+[][[]]][+[]]` evaluates to `[object Object]truefalse-Infinityundefined`, which contains all the letters. We index into the string `$"[object {0,8}ru fals{0,9}y nd fi"`, which expands to
```
[object 0ru fals 0y nd fi
```
We take the current letter and get the first index of it in that string. We then repeat the string `-~[]` that number of times, and replace the `x` with that.
Repeating a string is rather verbose in C#, as there is no builtin for it. Instead, a `StringBuilder` is created, and taking advantage of the `StringBuilder.Insert(int, string, int)` overload (which inserts the string `n2` times at index `n1`) to created a `StringBuilder` containing a repeated string. It is implicitly converted to a string due to the magic of the `+` operator.
```
new StringBuilder().Insert(0,"+-~[]",$"[object {0,8}ru fals{0,9}y nd fi".IndexOf(l))
```
Finally, the converted strings are joined together with `+`.

## Background
[**Set**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(card_game)) is a card game. The deck consists of 81 unique cards that vary in four features: number of shapes (one, two, or three), shape (diamond, squiggle, oval), shading (solid, striped, or open), and color (red, green, or purple).
For convenience, let's write a card as a 4-tuple of numbers from 1 to 3, e.g.
* `1111` = one red solid diamond
* `1122` = one red striped squiggle
* `1223` = one green striped oval
* `2312` = two purple solid squiggle
Given several cards (usually 12), the objective of the game is to find a "set" of three cards such that
* They all have the same number or have three different numbers.
* They all have the same shape or have three different shapes.
* They all have the same shading or have three different shadings.
* They all have the same color or have three different colors.
i.e. the cards are either **all the same or all different in each of the four features**.
Here are some examples of sets:
```
1111, 1112, 1113
1111, 2222, 3333
2312, 3321, 1333
```
Here are some examples of non-sets:
```
1111, 1122, 1123
2131, 3221, 1213
```
A [**cap set**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_set) is a collection of cards that doesn't contain any Set. It was proven in 1971 that [the maximum number of cards without a Set is 20.](https://www.quantamagazine.org/set-proof-stuns-mathematicians-20160531) Interestingly, finding the largest cap set for the generalized game of Set is still an open problem in mathematics.
The Wikipedia page shows an example of 20-cap set, and here is the 20 cards in the number notation:
```
1111, 1113, 1131, 1133,
1312, 1332, 1321, 1323,
3311, 3313, 3331, 3333,
3112, 3132, 3121, 3123,
1222, 2122, 2322, 3222
```
There are 682344 20-cap sets in total, but under affine transformations on 4-dimensional finite space, they all reduce to essentially one cap set.
## Task
Output any of the 20-cap sets in the game of Set.
## Input and output
Your program/function is not allowed to take input.
The output is a collection (list, set, ...) of 20 cards which is a cap set. Each card should be represented as a 4-tuple (or equivalent ordered collection) whose elements are one of three distinct values (not necessarily 1, 2, 3). Flexible output applies in the following ways:
* Nested or flattened list
* Ordering of cards doesn't matter
* You may choose to output the same set or different set across runs
* For string/text output, it's fine as long as we can clearly identify the structure (20 chunks of four items) of the output

This uses a modified condition giving a different but equivalent cap set:
$$a^2+b^2+c^2 - d^2=0\bmod3,$$ still without \$(0,0,0,0)\$.
This is equivalent to \$a^2+b^2+c^2 + d^2 + d^2 =0\bmod3,\$, so we can duplicate an element and check that the give-element list of squares adds to zero modulo 3. Since squares modulo 3 are 0 or 1, this is further equivalent to this condition:
>
> There are exactly \$2\$ zeroes among \$[a,b,c,d,d]\$.
>
>
>
This automatically excludes the all-zero point. Of course, duplicating $d$ was arbitrary -- choosing another element gives a different but equivalent cap-set.

### How
The sequence can be DPCM-encoded.
If we consider a card as a single base-4 integer (1111 through 3333), we can take any sequence, sort it, and use a single ASCII character to encode the difference between successive elements. The first character represents the first value of the sequence. All values are relatively small, and the decoding is still simple enough to be golfed.
Thanks Value Ink for -3 bytes ("to print the unprintable")
In theory, with a different encoding, every value can be encoded as a single byte, and this would bring the byte count down to 43, but with UTF-8 it's impossible (or at least, I can't figure it out).

Using ideas from Bubbler and Jo King, we can cut a few bytes from the below. The decompression method `n/50,n%3,n%4,n%5` turns an ASCII value into a 4-tuple. While not every set can be obtained this way using `n` from 0 to 127, there's enough wiggle room in the choice of cap-set to find one within the obtainable subset. We also avoid problematic characters that need escaping such as `\0` or `\n`, though unprintables can't be avoided.

String compression looks like the way to go for Python. We compress each of the 20 elements as a value from 0 to 80, which we represent as a character. Since we only need the values to be correct modulo 81, we can keep the string within the printable ASCII range. Python 3 could save a few bytes using a bytestring.
An alternative compression method would be 81 bits marking which of the 81 cards are present. Even though the 81 bits needed for this are less than the \$20 \log\_2(81)\approx 127\$ bits for the method used, the latter [wins out easily](https://tio.run/##FcYxCoAwDADAr2SpKAhNUsW49CPi4GC1S5TioK@Puhx3Ptd@KJudJes1Tep5aNWPLnyGXxfmdBRQyApl0W2thZqcAG8iFGFh/tIjC3XYrTFqRbPZCw) for how concisely the string can be written and decoded.

The version uses up/down arrows for ease of use. First number is size of cap set, second is number of properties per card, and third is variations of each property. The 6 cap set I found locally: `[[0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1], [0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1], [1, 0, 0, 0]]`.

Just storing the 20-cap set as a 80-digit base-3 number (using 0, 1, 2 for notation - since it's stated in the question that it's not necessary to use exactly 1, 2, 3), constructing it from base-36 to save space, and splitting the string to 4-character slices, finally getting a list of 20 cards (represented as strings like "1111", "0222" etc.). A couple more bytes probably can be golfed, using a smaller number.

[Question]
[
Given a strictly positive integer, return the shortest possible Roman numeral using only the additive rule. Output must consist of zero or more of each of the characters `MDCLXVI` in that order. The number `14` must therefore give `XIIII` rather than `XIV`.
The characters' numeric values are `M`=1000, `D`=500, `C`=100, `L`=50, `X`=10, `V`=5, `I`=1.
### Examples
`3` → `III`
`4` → `IIII`
`9` → `VIIII`
`42` → `XXXXII`
`796` → `DCCLXXXXVI`
`2017` → `MMXVII`
`16807` → `MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMDCCCVII`

A s is a string.
To p a r remainder a s a x string a n number:
If the x is "", exit.
Divide the r by the n giving a q quotient and the r.
Fill a t s with the x's first's target given the q.
Append the t to the s.
To convert a r number to a s:
p the r the s "M" 1000.
p the r the s "D" 500.

Rather than creating the output string from the start by greedily taking the largest part, this creates it from the end. For instance, the number of `I`'s is `n%5`, then the number of `V`'s is `n/5%2`, and so on. This is mixed base conversion with successive ratios of 5 and 2 alternating.
Here's an iterative equivalent:

The `M`'s need to be handled separately because any number of them could be present as there's no larger digit. So, after the other place values have been assigned, the value remaining is converted to `M`'s.

I have managed to compress it a bit more, but there is still some pesky no-ops, especially on the top face.
* `52"IVXLCDM"U` put the necessary divisors and characters on the stack. The 5 and 2 will be used to reduce the div/mod value and the characters will be discarded after use.
* `UIN0/&0\&,/U` u-turns onto the top face and starts a long tour to get the input and push 1000 onto the stack. An initial divide is done and a u-turn onto the `r` of the next snippet. This was an area I was looking at to make some savings.
* `,r%ws;rr` beginning of the divmod loop. integer divide, rotate the result away mod, then rearrange top of stack to be reduced input, current divisor and divide result.
* `3tus` bring the current character to the top and swap it with the divide result.
* `!vsoUs(0;U` this is the print loop. while the div result is more than 0, swap with character output, swap back, decrement, push a 0 and drop it. On 0 redirect over the pop stack (remove divide result) and around the cube.
* `\u;pwpsq,!@Urq;u` with a bit of redirection, this removes the character from the stack, brings the 5 and 2 to the top, swaps them and pushes one back down. The remaining is used to reduce the divisor. Halt if it reduces to 0, otherwise push the 5 or 2 to the bottom and re-enter the loop.

## JavaScript (ES6), 65 bytes
A recursive function.
```
f=(n,a=(i=0,1e3))=>n?a>n?f(n,a/=i++&1?5:2):'MDCLXVI'[i]+f(n-a):''
```
### How?
The second recursive call `f(n-a)` really should be `f(n-a,a)`. By omitting the 2nd parameter, `a` and `i` are reinitialized (to 1000 and 0 respectively) each time a new Roman digit is appended to the final result. This causes more recursion than needed but doesn't alter the outcome of the function and saves 2 bytes.
### Test cases
```
f=(n,a=(i=0,1e3))=>n?a>n?f(n,a/=i++&1?5:2):'MDCLXVI'[i]+f(n-a):''
console.log(f(3))

select 10, 50, 'x' from dual union
select 5, 10, 'v' from dual union
select 1, 5, 'i' from dual
)
```
How it works:
I calculate how many of each letter I need, by calculating the most I can get to with the higher value one (infinity for M), and then doing an integer division between the current letter's value and the result of that.
E.g. 2348, how many `C`s do I need? `trunc((2348-mod(2348,500))/100)` = 3.
Then, I `listagg` that letter together 3 times (exploiting `CONNECT BY` to generate the 3 rows I need).
Finally, I `listagg` everything together.
Kinda bulky, but most of it is the `select from dual`s in the conversion table and I can't really do much about that...

[Question]
[
A Stack Exchange script determines which five comments on questions or answers are initially seen on the main page of sites through the number of upvotes on them; the five comments with the highest number of votes are displayed. Your task is to recreate this behavior.
Write a full program or function taking input through STDIN, command-line args, or function arguments and prints or returns the top five comment scores. Input will be an array of integers representing the number of upvotes on the comments of some post. For instance, an input of
```
0, 2, 5, 4, 0, 1, 0
```
means that the first comment has no votes, the second one has two votes, the third has five, the fourth had four, etc. The order of the comment scores should remain the same in the output.
If the input contains five or fewer comment scores, then the output should contain nothing more than the ones given. If two or more comment scores are the same, the first score(s) should be displayed. You may assume that the input array will contain at least one comment score.
The numbers in the output should be easily distinguished (so 02541 for case 1 is invalid). Otherwise there are no restrictions on output format; the numbers may be separated by a space or newline, or they may be in list format, etc.
Test cases:
```
[0, 2, 5, 4, 0, 1, 0] -> [0, 2, 5, 4, 1]
[2, 1, 1, 5, 3, 6] -> [2, 1, 5, 3, 6]
[0, 4, 5] -> [0, 4, 5]
[1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 5] -> [1, 1, 5, 1, 5]
[0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] -> [0, 2, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0] -> [0, 0, 0, 0, 1]
[5, 4, 2, 1, 0, 8, 7, 4, 6, 1, 0, 7] -> [5, 8, 7, 6, 7]
[6, 3, 2, 0, 69, 22, 0, 37, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2] -> [6, 69, 22, 37, 5]

x=input()[::-1]
while x[5:]:x.remove(min(x))
print x[::-1]
```
Test it on [Ideone](http://ideone.com/CaBy06).
### How it works
`list.remove` removes the first occurrence if its argument from the specified list. By reversing the list **x**, we essentially achieve that it removes the *last* occurrence instead.
Thus, it suffices to keep removing the comment with the minimal amount of upvotes until a list of no more than five comments is reached. Afterwards, we reverse the list once more to restore the original order.

## Python, 68 bytes
```
lambda l,S=sorted:zip(*S(S(enumerate(l),key=lambda(i,x):-x)[:5]))[1]
```
[Example run.](https://ideone.com/CQThNt)
A lump of built-ins. I think the best way to explain is to run through an example.
```
>> l
[5, 4, 2, 1, 0, 8, 7, 4, 6, 1, 0, 7]
>> enumerate(l)
[(0, 5), (1, 4), (2, 2), (3, 1), (4, 0), (5, 8), (6, 7), (7, 4), (8, 6), (9, 1), (10, 0), (11, 7)]
```
`enumerate` turns the list into index/value pairs (technically an `enumerate` object).
```
>> sorted(enumerate(l),key=lambda(i,x):-x)
[(5, 8), (6, 7), (11, 7), (8, 6), (0, 5), (1, 4), (7, 4), (2, 2), (3, 1), (9, 1), (4, 0), (10, 0)]
>> sorted(enumerate(l),key=lambda(i,x):-x)[:5]
[(5, 8), (6, 7), (11, 7), (8, 6), (0, 5)]
```
The pairs are sorted by greatest value first, keeping the current order of index for ties. This puts at the front the highest-scored comments, tiebroken by earlier post. Then, the 5 best such comments are taken.
```
>> sorted(_)
[(0, 5), (5, 8), (6, 7), (8, 6), (11, 7)]
>> zip(*sorted(_))[1]
(5, 8, 7, 6, 7)
```
Put the top five comments back in posting order, and then remove the indices, keeping only the scores.

## PowerShell v4, ~~120~~ 97 bytes
```
param($a)$b=@{};$a|%{$b.Add(++$d,$_)};($b.GetEnumerator()|sort Value|select -l 5|sort Name).Value
```
Experimenting around, I found an alternate approach that golfed off some additional bytes. However, it seems to be specific to PowerShell v4 and how that version handles sorting of a hashtable -- it seems, by default, that in v4 if multiple Values have the same value, it takes the one with a "lower" Key, but you're not guaranteed that in v3 or earlier, even when using the [ordered](http://www.jonathanmedd.net/2011/09/powershell-v3-bringing-ordered-to-your-hashtables.html) keyword in v3. I've not fully vetted this against PowerShell v5 to say if the behavior continues.
This v4-only version takes input as `$a`, then creates a new empty hashtable `$b`. We loop through all the elements of the input `$a|%{...}` and each iteration add a key/value pair to `$b` (done by pre-incrementing a helper variable `$d` as the key for each iteration). Then we `sort` `$b` based on `Value`, then `select` the `-l`ast `5`, then `sort` by `Name` (i.e., the key), and finally output only the `.Value`s of the resultant hash.
If fewer than 5 elements are entered, it will just sort on value, select the last five (i.e., all of them), re-sort on key, and output.

### Older, 120 bytes, works in earlier versions
```
param($a)if($a.Count-le5){$a;exit}[System.Collections.ArrayList]$b=($a|sort)[-5..-1];$a|%{if($_-in$b){$_;$b.Remove($_)}}
```
Same algorithm as Morgan Thrapp's [answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/70298/42963), which is apparently an indication that great minds think alike. :)
Takes input, checks if the number of items is less-than-or-equal-to 5, and if so outputs the input and exits. Otherwise, we create an ArrayList `$b` (with the exorbitantly lengthy `[System.Collections.ArrayList]` cast) of the top five elements of `$a`. We then iterate over `$a` and for each element if it's in `$b` we output it and then remove it from `$b` (and here's why we need to use ArrayList, as removing elements from an Array isn't a supported feature in PowerShell, since they're technically fixed size).
Requires v3 or greater for the `-in` operator. For an answer that works in earlier versions, swap `$_-in$b` for `$b-contains$_` for a total of **126 bytes**.

### How it works
The comment **c1** has higher precedence than the comment **c2** iff one of the following is true:
* **c1** has more upvotes than **c2**.
* **c1** and **c2** have the same amount of upvotes, but **c1** was posted earlier.
This defines a total ordering of the comments, and the task at hand is to find the five comments that have the highest precedences.
Instead of sorting the comments by precedence (which would alter their order, for each comment **c**, we count the comments that have a greater or equal precedence. We keep **c** if and only if this count is **5** or less.
To partially sort the comments by number of upvotes, we do the following. Let **x** be the column vector containing the vote counts. Then `x'` transposes **x** ‐ thus creating a row vector ‐ and `x.<x'` creates a Boolean matrix that compares each element of **x** with each element of **xT**.
For **x = [0, 2, 5, 4, 0, 1, 0]**, this gives
```
< 0 2 5 4 0 1 0
0 false true true true false true false
2 false false true true false false false
5 false false false false false false false
4 false false true false false false false
0 false true true true false true false
1 false true true true false false false
0 false true true true false true false
```
By summing across rows (via `sum(...,2)`), we count the number of comments that have strictly *more* upvotes than the comment at that index.
For the example vector, this gives
```
4
2
0
1
4
3
4
```
Next, we count the number of comments with an equal amount of upvotes have been posted earlier than that comment. We achieve this as follows.
First we build an equality table with `x.==x'`, which compraes the elements of **x** with the elements of **xT**. For our example vector, this gives:
```
= 0 2 5 4 0 1 0
0 true false false false true false true
2 false true false false false false false
5 false false true false false false false
4 false false false true false false false
0 true false false false true false true
1 false false false false false true false
0 true false false false true false true
```
Next, we use `cumsum` to calculate the cumulative sums of each columns of of the matrix.
```
1 0 0 0 1 0 1
1 1 0 0 1 0 1
1 1 1 0 1 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 0 1
2 1 1 1 2 0 2
2 1 1 1 2 1 2
3 1 1 1 3 1 3
```
The diagonal (`diag`) holds the count of comments that have an equal amount of upvotes and occur no later than the corresponding comment.
```
1
1
1
1
2
1
3
```
By adding the two row vectors we produced, we obtain the priorities (**1** is the highest) of the comments.
```
5
3
1
2
6
4
7
```
Comments with priorities ranging from **1** to **5** should be displayed, so we determine their indices with `find(....<6)` and retrieve the corresponding comments with `x[...]`.

[Question]
[
The goal of this challenge is to (eventually) output *every* possible halting program in a language of your choice. At first this may sound impossible, but you can accomplish this with a very careful choice of execution order.
Below is an ASCII diagram to illustrate this. Let the columns represent a numbering of every possible program (each program is a finite number of symbols from a finite alphabet). Let each row represent a singular step in execution of that program. An `X` represent the execution performed by that program at that time-step.
```
step# p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6
1 X X X X X X
2 X X X X X
3 X X X X
4 X X X X
5 X X X
6 X X
7 X X
8 X X
9 X X
∞ X X
```
As you can tell, programs 2 and 4 don't halt. If you were to execute them one-at-a-time, your controller would get stuck in the infinite loop that is program 2 and never output programs 3 and beyond.
Instead, you use a [dovetailing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dovetailing_(computer_science)) approach. The letters represent a possible order of execution for the first 26 steps. The `*`s are places where that program has halted and is outputted. The `.`s are steps that haven't been executed yet.
```
step# p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6
1 A C F J N R V
2 B E I M Q * Z
3 D H * P U
4 G L T Y
5 K O X
6 * S .
7 W .
8 . .
9 . .
∞ . .
```
## Requirements for the target language
The target language (the one being parallel-interpreted) must be Turing-complete. Other than that, it can be *any* language that's Turing-complete, including Turing-complete subsets of much larger languages. You are also free to interpret things like cyclic tag system rules. You are also allowed to create a language to test, as long as you can show why it is Turing-complete.
As an example, if you choose to test brainfuck, then it is best to test just the `[]-+<>` subset, since input is not supported and output is just thrown away (see below).
When it comes to the "controller" program (which you are golfing), there's no special requirements. Normal language restrictions apply.
## How to create an infinite list of programs
The majority of programming languages can be represented as a series of symbols from a finite alphabet. In this case, it is relatively easy to enumerate a list of every possible program in order of increasing length. The alphabet you use should be representative of the *requirements* of the target language. In most cases, this is printable ASCII. If your language supports Unicode as an additional feature, you should not test every possible combination of Unicode characters, just ASCII. If your language only uses `[]-+<>` then don't test out the various combinations of "comment" ASCII characters. Languages like APL would have their own special alphabets.
If your language is best described in some non-alphabetic way, like Fractran or Turing Machines, then there are other equally valid methods of generating a list of all possible valid programs.
## Interpreting an ever-growing list of programs
The key part of this challenge is to write a parallel interpreter for a growing list of programs. There are some basic steps for this:
* Add a finite number of programs to the list
* Interpret each program on the list individually for a finite period of time. This can be accomplished by performing one instruction step for each. Save all of the states.
* Remove all terminating/error-throwing programs from the list
* Output the cleanly halted\* programs
* Add some more programs to the list
* Simulate each program in turn, picking up execution of older programs where it left off
* Remove all terminating/error-throwing programs from the list
* Output the cleanly halted\* programs
* repeat
**\*You should only output programs that halt cleanly.** This means that there were no syntax errors or uncaught exceptions thrown during execution. Programs which ask for input should also be terminated without outputting them. If a program produces output, you shouldn't terminate it, just throw the output away.
## More rules
* You must not spawn new threads to contain the tested programs, as this offloads the work of parallelization onto the host OS / other software.
* Edit: To close potential future loopholes, you are not allowed to `eval` (or any related function) a part of the *tested* program's code. You *can* `eval` a codeblock from the interpreter's code. (The BF-in-Python answer is still valid under these rules.)
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'")
* The language you write your submission in **does not** need to be the same as the language you are testing/outputting.
* You should assume that your available memory is unbounded.
* When proving Turing-completeness, you may assume that input is hardcoded into the program, and output can be read off the program's internal state.
* If your program outputs itself, it is probably wrong or a polyglot.

# Brainfuck in Python, 567 bytes
A relatively simple solution, as Brainfuck is hardly the most difficult language to write an interpreter for.
This implementation of Brainfuck has the data pointer starting at 0, only allowed to take a positive value (considered an error if it tries to go to the left of 0). The data cells can take on values from 0 to 255 and wrap. The 5 valid instructions are `><+[]` (`-` is unnecessary due to the wrapping).
I think the output is all correct now, however it is difficult to be sure that it is printing every possible solution so I may be missing some.
```

C="[(p,h[a]+1,b,t,h)if t[b]%s0else(p,a+1,b,t,h)]"
I=lambda s,i:i*">"if""==s else o[o.find(s[0])+i-5]+I(s[1:],i*o.find(s[0])>3)

Since this is an infinite loop, you can't directly test this in the online interpreter. However, [here is an alternative version](http://cjam.aditsu.net/#code=L%7BZ)%3AZ2b1%3E_%2C%2C1%3E%5Cf%7B%2F(%5B%5C%3A~%5Da2*%7D%2B%7B)~%5B%5C(%7B1%2B(%3AX%2B%5C_0%3DXa*%2B%7D%7B0%2B%5C1%3E%7D%3F_%7B%5Da%2B%7D%7B%5D%3Bp%7D%3F%7D%25%7Dl~*&input=50) that reads the number of iterations from STDIN for you to play around with. To test the full program, you'll need [the Java interpreter](https://sourceforge.net/projects/cjam/files/cjam-0.6.5/).
BCT is a minimalist variant of [Cyclic Tag Systems](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_system#Cyclic_tag_systems). A program is defined by two binary strings: a (cyclic) list of instructions and an initial state. To make my life easier when printing the programs, I have defined my own notation: each of the strings is given as a CJam-style array of integers, and the entire program is surrounded in `[[...]]`, e.g.
```
[[[0 0 1 1] [0 1 1 1 0]]]
```
I'm also disallowing empty initial states or empty instruction lists.
Instructions in BCT are interpreted as follows:
* If the instruction is `0`, remove the leading bit from the current state.
* If the instruction is `1`, read another bit off the instruction list, call that `X`. If the leading bit from the current state is `1`, append `X` to the current state, otherwise do nothing.
If the current state ever becomes empty, the program halts.
The first few halting programs are
```
[[[0] [0]]]
[[[0] [1]]]
[[[0 0] [0]]]
[[[0] [0 0]]]
[[[0 0] [1]]]
[[[0] [0 1]]]
[[[0 1] [0]]]
[[[0] [1 0]]]
[[[0 1] [1]]]
[[[0] [1 1]]]
```

## Explanation
Here is how the code works. To keep track of the dovetailing we will always have an array on the stack which contains all the programs. Each program is pair of an internal representation of the program code (like `[[0 1 0] [1 0]]`) as well as the current state of the program. We'll only use the latter to do the computation, but we'll need to remember the former to print the program once it halts. This list of programs is simply initialised to an empty array with `L`.
The rest of the code is an infinite loop `{...1}g` which first adds one or more programs to this list and the computes one step on each program. Programs that halt are printed and removed from the list.
I'm enumerating the programs by counting up a binary number. The leading digit is stripped off to ensure that we can get all programs with leading 0s as well. For each such truncated binary representation, I push one program for each possible splitting between instructions and initial state. E.g. if the counter is currently at `42`, its binary representation is `101010`. We get rid of leading `1` and push all non-empty splittings:
```
[[[0] [1 0 1 0]]]
[[[0 1] [0 1 0]]]
[[[0 1 0] [1 0]]]
[[[0 1 0 1] [0]]]
```
Since we don't want empty instructions or states, we start the counter at 4, which gives `[[[0] [0]]]`. This enumeration is done by the following code:

<https://esolangs.org/wiki/Subleq>
A subleq program is an extensible list of integers (p) and an instruction pointer (i). This subleq variant uses relative addressing, which the wiki talk page suggests is required for turing completeness with bounded values. Each tick, the operation `p[i+p[i+1]]-=p[i+p[i]]` is performed, and then `i+=p[i+2]` if the operation result was <=0, otherwise `i+=3`. If i is ever negative, the program halts.
This implementation tests every program whose initial state is comprised of one-digit non-negative integers (0-9) with an initial instruction pointer of 0.
```
Output:
21 (which represents the program [1 2 0 0 0 0 0...]
121
161

The output is reversed, for golfing reasons. The spec above could be restated in reverse, but then would not match the code used in the implementation, so I've not described it that way.
EDIT: The first program that exhibits simple unbounded growth is 14283, which decrements the value at memory location 6 and writes an explicit 0 (as opposed to the implicit 0 in every cell) to the next negative cell, every three ticks.

Function which is a generator that generates all possible Post correspondence problems for which brute-forcing solutions eventually halts. (Brute-forcing solutions to the Post correspondence problem is known to be a Turing-complete operation.) The TIO link contains a header that converts a generator to a full program, and prints each output immediately as it's generated (thus, when TIO kills the program due to consuming more than 60 seconds of execution time, the output produced so far is visible).
This uses a formulation of the problem in which the strings are given as strings of digits, leading zeroes are not permitted except for `0` itself, solutions to the problem involving leading zeroes are not accepted, and a string of digits can be represented as either the number, or minus the number. Clearly, none of this has any impact on the Turing-completeness of the language (because there's no need for a Post correspondence problem to use the digit zero at all).
This program works via generating all possible solutions to problems, then working backwards to find the original programs that are solved by them. As such, an individual program can be output many times. It's unclear whether this invalidates the answer or not; note that all halting programs will eventually be output at least once (in fact, infinitely many times, as any program which has solutions has infinitely many solutions), and non-halting programs will never be output.

### How it works
The call-by-value evaluation rules for the SK combinator calculus are as follows:
(a) S*xyz* ↦ *xz*(*yz*), for *x*, *y*, *z* in normal form;
(b) K*xy* ↦ *x*, for *x*, *y* in normal form;
(c) *xy* ↦ *x*′*y*, if *x* ↦ *x*′;
(d) *xy* ↦ *xy*′, for *x* in normal form, if *y* ↦ *y′*.
Since we are only interested in halting behavior, we expand the language slightly by introducing a symbol H that is not in normal form, but to which all normal forms “evaluate”:
(a) S*xyz* ↦ *xz*(*yz*), for *x*, *y*, *z* in normal form;
(b′) K*x*H ↦ *x*, for *x* in normal form;
(c) *xy* ↦ *x*′*y*, if *x* ↦ *x*′;
(d) *xy* ↦ *xy*′, for *x* in normal form, if *y* ↦ *y′*;
(e) S ↦ H;
(f) K ↦ H;
(g) SH ↦ H;
(h) KH ↦ H;
(i) SHH ↦ H.
We consider any application H*x* to be a run-time error to be treated as if it were an infinite loop, and we order evaluations such that no H is produced by (e)–(i) except in a context where it will be ignored (top level, any K*x*☐, any ignored K☐, any ignored S*x*☐ for *x* in normal form, any ignored S☐H). This way we do not affect the halting behavior of the usual terms lacking H.
The benefits of these modified rules are that every normalizable term has a unique evaluation path to H, and that every term has a finite number of possible preimages under ↦. So instead of using the dovetailing approach, we can do a much more efficient breadth-first search of all reverse evaluation paths from H.
`n` checks whether a term is in normal form, `f` finds all possible preimages of a term, and `l` is a lazy infinite list of normalizable terms produced by breadth-first search from H.

A slashes program is a string, in this interpreter limited to the characters '/' and '\'. In this implementation, / is '1' and \ is '0' to allow for some golfing with the use of python's bin(x). When the interpreter encounters a \, the next character is output and both characters are removed. When it encounters a /, it looks for search and replace patterns as /search/replace/ including escaped characters within the patterns (\\ represents \ and \/ represents /). That replace operation is then performed on the string repeatedly until the search string is no longer present, then interpretation continues from the beginning again. The program halts when it is empty. A program will be killed if there is an unclosed set of /patterns or a \ with no character after it.
```
Example output and explanations:
01 outputs '1' and halts
00 outputs '0' and halts

[Purple](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Purple) is a self-modifying one-instruction language which was [asked to interpret here](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/65411/2338). As input and output are not relevant for this task, I removed the `o` symbol's meaning from the interpreter, such that the (potentially) valid symbols are just `a`, `b`, `A`, `B`, `i` and `1` (the last one just for reading, not for writing).
But as Purple is self-modifying (and using its source code as data), potentially also programs containing other than those characters are useful, so I **opted to allow all printable (non-whitespace) ASCII characters in the code (other ones might be useful as well, but are not as easily printed).**
(You can modify the interpreter to instead take as string of allowed characters as a command line argument – switch the commented line defining `a` below. Then the length becomes 686 bytes.)
My "parallel" interpreter thus creates all finite strings from those characters (in increasing length and lexicographical order) and tries each of them.
Purple will halt without error whenever the command to be read from the tape for execution is not valid – thus there are no invalid programs and many, many halting ones. (Most halt even at the first step, only some of the programs with length 3 come to the second step (and will halt then), the first non-halting ones have length 6.
I think the very first non-halting program in the order tried by my interpreter is `aaaiaa`, which in the first step sets the `a` register to 0 (which it already was), and the second and every following step sets the instruction pointer back to 0, causing it to execute `iaa` again.
I reused part of the code written for [my interpreter of "standard" Purple](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/65492/2338), but due to the removal of input and output, my parallel interpreter becomes even slightly shorter than that, while including the additional logic for executing multiple programs at once.

# Haskell + [hgl](https://gitlab.com/WheatWizard/haskell-golfing-library), 24 bytes
```
q=53:tl(Or<ic", "(sh<q))
```
This defines `q` an infinite list representing the sequence.
If you want the actual string of the sequence you can do that for 1 more byte:
```
q=ic", "$sh<Or<('5':tl q)
```
## Explanation
So here we define `q` in terms of itself.
A naive answer might look like:
```
q=Or<ic", "(sh<q)
```
Which takes `q` maps `show` across it to convert all the numbers to strings, intercalates `", "` with `ic`, to get the string and maps `Or` to get the char points.
However if we define this the resulting list is just an infinite loop and never manages to produce the first element. So we need to tell it what the first element is. To do this we take what we had, chop off the first element and put the correct answer in it's place.
This allows Haskell to skip to the second element when calculating this list which it can calculate in terms of the first element just fine. And from there every successive element can be calculated just fine.

[Question]
[
I noticed that it seems nobody has posted a non-ASCII ([related](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/52615/print-the-american-flag)) USA flag challenge yet, so what better time than the 4th of July?
## The Challenge
Draw the current (as of 2022) flag of the United States of America.
Here is the flag:
[](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a4/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg)
### Specifications
[](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/Flag_of_the_United_States_specification.svg)
* Hoist (height) of the flag: A = 1.0
* Fly (width) of the flag: B = 1.9
* Hoist (height) of the canton ("union"): C = 0.5385 (A × 7/13, spanning seven stripes)
* Fly (width) of the canton: D = 0.76 (B × 2/5, two-fifths of the flag width)
* E = F = 0.0538 (C/10, one-tenth of the height of the canton)
* G = H = 0.0633 (D/12, one twelfth of the width of the canton)
* Diameter of star: K = 0.0616 (L × 4/5, four-fifths of the stripe width, the calculation only gives 0.0616 if L is first rounded to 0.077)
* Width of stripe: L = 0.0769 (A/13, one thirteenth of the flag height)
The colors used are (as RGB tuples and hex codes):
* White: `255,255,255` or `#FFFFFF`;
* Old Glory Red: `179,25,66` or `#B31942`;
* Old Glory Blue: `10,49,97` or `#0A3161`.
Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States#Design)
### Rules
* The image must be sized at a 19:10 ratio, and at least 760 by 400 pixels (if it is a raster image).
* If your language does not allow to use arbitrary RGB colors you may use any colors reasonably recognizable as "white", "red", and "blue".
* The image can be saved to a file or piped raw to STDOUT in any common image file format, or it can be displayed in a window.
* Your program must create the image and not just load it from a website.
* Built-in flag images, flag-drawing libraries, [horrendously upscaling a flag emoji](https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/60681392#60681392) or any [other emoji](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/245345/73593) are prohibited.
### Scoring
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so shortest code wins!
Since the flag can change at any time following the admission of one or more new states, let's make our programs futureproof! **-10 bonus points**
if your program can draw other star dispositions by accepting as an **optional** argument a list of star coordinates (which may be a number different than 50) in any coordinate system of your choice (inspired by this [challenge](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/28784/the-star-spangled-code-challenge)).
* If such optional argument is not provided, your program **must** draw the flag as previously described.
* If an empty list is passed as a parameter, you can either draw no stars, or treat it as if no argument has been given (and hence draw the standard flag).
* The other parts of the flag (the stripes and the blue background) must be the same in any case.

[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/508jK.png)
Takes optional arguments from the stack, which can be inserted from the command line like this:
`gs -c '3 2 5 4' -- usflag.ps`
That plots two stars at (2,3) and (4,5), where (1,1) is the position of the bottom-left star in the standard flag, and the horizontal and vertical units are chosen so that H=1 and F=1.

* Many pairs of 8-bit VDU codes (terminated by comma) are replaced by 16-bit VDU codes (terminated by semicolon.)
The following are all equivalent: `MOVE x,y`, `PLOT 4,x,y`, `VDU 25,4,x,y`. The value 4 in the plot statement can take many values for everything from moving to drawing rectangles and triangles. BBC basic keeps track of the last two positions of the graphics cursor to facilitate these operations.
**Interpreter**
Download interpreter at <https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/download.html>
This interpreter has several differences from the original BBC basic. Firstly the default screen mode is black on white, with the white background being set to `255,255,255` by default.
Secondly, the palette reprogramming `VDU 19`operates quite differently. Original BBC basic could display (depending on mode) up to 16 different logical colours at a time (to save memory) and these could be assigned to any 18-bit physical colour. Reprogramming the palette would immediately change all existing pixels of that logical colour to the new physical colour. With this interpreter, full 24-bit colour is supported and only pixels drawn after the `VDU 19` are affected.
**Explanation**
I selected a value of L=75 and scaled the flag accordingly, in order to make most dimensions integers.
Hopefully the comments below are fairly self explanatory. We draw the stripes first, leaving the cursor at top left to conveniently draw the blue canton by specifying its bottom right corner.
Stars are plotted in the background colour (white.) The origin is changed to the centre of each star prior to plotting for convenience. Stars are plotted on a 9x11 checkerboard grid. Only odd number stars are plotted. For the even number stars, the cursor still moves to trace out the star, but nothing is plotted.
BBC basic keeps track of the last two coordinates visited by the cursor. The stars are drawn as a series of five thin triangles by defining the current point, centre of the star, and the previous point 144 degrees away.
**Ungolfed code**

I started trying to code this manually but half-way though I discovered that Jay Bala's Wikipedia specification image linked in the question had already golfed the repetition of the stars, so I just removed the explanation, updated the colours to match the question, and golfed it down to the bare minimum acceptable in HTML5. Edit: Turns out that I'd been looking at the wrong image all along - as @Deadcode points out the flag itself is linked in the question, and it uses `#fff` instead of `#ffffff` in two places, thus saving 6 bytes, but I was able to save a further 10 bytes by golfing the star repetition even further. Edit: Saved 38 bytes thanks to @bartyslartfast by dividing all the lengths by 10 and by assuming a white background and only drawing the red stripes.

## SVG(HTML5), 369 bytes
At first glance, repeating the stars with a `<use>` element looks like a good idea, but it isn't. A `<pattern>` element, even with the pesky `patternUnits=userSpaceOnUse` gets much better results.
Node positions of the stars have been rounded to integers, but that leaves the error <1.25% (0.5 for diameter=40).

# Challenge
Write code that outputs TeX (LaTeX) math-equation code (given below) that will typeset Sierpinski Triangle Fractal of 5 levels. **Shortest code wins**.
# Details
TeX (and friends like LaTeX, etc.) is a sophisticated typesetting system. It can render arbitrary nested complex expressions for mathematical formulas. Coincidentally this "nested complex" is also descriptive of fractals. The following is rendered with MathJaX
$${{{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}^{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}\_{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}}^{{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}^{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}\_{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}}\_{{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}^{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}\_{{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}^{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}\_{{x^x\_x}^{x^x\_x}\_{x^x\_x}}}}}$$
by the following plain-text math-equation code consisting of nested super- and sub-scripts:
```
{{{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}^{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}_{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}}^{{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}^{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}_{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}}_{{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}^{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}_{{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}^{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}_{{x^x_x}^{x^x_x}_{x^x_x}}}}}
```
Note this is just a 5-level nesting. You do not need to generate `$...$` or `$$...$$` or other markup required to start/end a math equation in TeX & Co. You can preview generated TeX in many online editors, for instance: <http://www.hostmath.com> but you can find many others too. This question was inspired by a [discussion with friends](http://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1188472).
# Update
There is a [similar question](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/138245/4997) but it much more general and will produce different solutions. I wanted to see really kolmogorov-complexity for a very fixed simple code that in one system (TeX) is completely explicit while in another compressed. This also address the `n` instead of 5 levels comment.

```
\def~#1x{{#1x_#1x^#1x}}~~~~~x
```
That outputs what others have output. But if we need the code to be compilable it would be 6 bytes more
```
\def~#1x{{#1x_#1x^#1x}}$~~~~~x$\bye
```
**Explanation**
`~` is an [active character](http://www.tex.ac.uk/FAQ-activechars.html) in TeX, so we can give it a (new) definition.
`\def~#1x{{#1x_#1x^#1x}}` defines `~` as a macro, so that when TeX sees `~`, it does the following:
* Read everything up to the next `x`, and call that `#1` (pattern-matching).
* Replace the whole thing with `{#1x_#1x^#1x}`
For example, `~ABCx` would get replaced with `{ABCx_ABCx^ABCx}`.
When `~~~~~x` is used, `#1` is `~~~~`, so the whole thing gets replaced with `{~~~~x_~~~~x^~~~~x}`. And so on.
Once we have the long string, we can print it out to terminal with `\message` (and ending with a `\bye` so TeX stops), so `\message{~~~~~x}\bye`. Or typeset the resulting expression (as a mathematical formula), by surrounding it in `$`s : so `$~~~~~x$\bye`.

[Question]
[
Imagine a continuous 2-dimensional path that can only turn left, right, or go straight, cannot intersect itself, and must fill a rectangular grid such as the grid of pixels in an image. We'll call this kind of path a *snake*.
This enlarged example shows a snake path in a 10×4 grid that starts out red and increases in hue by about 2% at every step until it is purple. (The black lines are only to emphasize the direction it takes.)
# Goal
The goal in this popularity contest is to write an algorithm that attempts to recreate a given image using a single snake whose color continuously changes by small amounts.
Your program must take in a true-color image of any size as well as a floating point value between 0 and 1 inclusive, the *tolerance*.
*Tolerance* defines the maximum amount the color of the snake is allowed to change in each pixel sized step. We'll define the distance between two RGB colors as the Euclidean distance between the two RGB points when arranged on an [RGB color cube](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_space). The distance will then be normalized so the maximum distance is 1 and the minimum distance is 0.
**Color distance pseudocode:** (Assumes all input values are integers in the range `[0, 255]`; output is normalized.)
```
function ColorDistance(r1, g1, b1, r2, g2, b2)
d = sqrt((r2 - r1)^2 + (g2 - g1)^2 + (b2 - b1)^2)
return d / (255 * sqrt(3))
```
If the result of calling this function on the snake's current color and another color is greater than the given tolerance then the snake may not change into that other color.
**If you prefer, you may use a different color distance function.** It must be something accurate and well documented such as those listed at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference>. You also must normalize it to be in within `[0, 1]`, i.e. the maximum possible distance must be 1 and the minimum must be 0. Tell us in your answer if you use a different distance metric.
# Test Images
You should of course post your output images (and even animations of the snake growing if you want). I suggest posting a variety of these images using different low tolerances (maybe around 0.005 to 0.03).
# Win Criteria
As stated, this is a popularity contest. The highest voted answer will win. Answers that provide the most accurate and aesthetically pleasing "snake path" depiction of the input images should be voted up.
**Any user who is found to be maliciously submitting images that are not actual snakes will be disqualified forever.**
# Notes
* Only one snake path may be used and it must completely fill the image without touching the same pixel twice.
* The snake may start and end anywhere in the image.
* The snake may start as any color.
* The snake must stay in the bounds of the image. The bounds are not cyclic.
* The snake cannot move diagonally or more than one pixel at a time.
[Answer]
## Python
I generate a dynamic path to minimize the color changes as the snake travels. Here are some images:
**tolerance = 0.01**
Cyclic color paths for the above images (blue to red, getting greener as it repeats):
The path is generated by starting with some initial path, then adding 2x2 loops onto it until the image is filled. The advantage of this method is that the loops can be added anywhere on the path, so you can't paint yourself into a corner and have more freedom to build the path you want. I keep track of the possible loops adjacent to the current path and store them in a heap, weighted by the color change along the loop. I then pop off the loop with the least color change and add it to the path, and repeat until the image is filled.
I actually track the loops alone ('DetourBlock' in the code), then reconstruct the path; this was a mistake as there are some special cases for odd width/height and I spent several hours debugging the reconstruction method. Oh well.
The path generation metric needs tuning and I also have an idea for better colorization, but I thought I'd get this out first since it works quite well. Except for this one, which seems better in some of the fixed paths:

And some more images at a **very low tolerance of 0.001**:
And also the great wave path because it's neat:
## EDIT
The path generation seems better when minimizing the color distance between the average colors of adjacent blocks, rather than minimizing the sum of the color distances between their adjacent pixels. Also, it turns out you can average the colors of any two tolerance-compliant snake paths and end up with another tolerance-compliant snake path. So I traverse the path both ways and average them, which smooths out a lot of the artifacts. Zombie Lena and Scary Hands Mona look much better. Final versions:
**Tolerance 0.01**:

## Java
My program generate a snake path for a given width & height, using an algorithm similar to the one that generates the Hilbert curve.
*(little game: in the above picture, the snake starts at the top left corner. Can you find where he ends? Good luck :)*
Here are the results for various tolerance values :
**Tolerance = 0.01**
**Tolerance = 0.05**
**Tolerance = 0.1**
**Tolerance = 0.01**
**With 4x4 pixel blocks & the path visible**
**Computing the snake path**
A snake path is stored in a double dimension integer array. The snake always enters the grid by the upper left corner. There are 4 basic operation my program can do on a given snake path:
* create a new snake path for a grid of width 1 or height 1. The path is just a simple line that goes left to right or up to down, depending on the case.
* increase the grid height, by adding at the top a snake path from left to right, then by mirroring the grid (the snake must always enter the grid by the upper left corner)
* increate the grid width, by adding at the left a snake path from top to bottom, then by flipping the grid (the snake must always enter the grid by the upper left corner)
* double the dimension of the grid using an "Hilbert style" algorithm (see description below)
Using a series of these atomic operations, the program is able to generate a snake path of any given size.
The code below computes (in reverse order) which operations will be needed to obtain a given width & height. Once computed, the actions are executed one by one until we got a snake path of the expected size.
```
enum Action { ADD_LINE_TOP, ADD_LINE_LEFT, DOUBLE_SIZE, CREATE};
public static int [][] build(int width, int height) {
List<Action> actions = new ArrayList<Action>();
while (height>1 && width>1) {
if (height % 2 == 1) {
height--;
actions.add(Action.ADD_LINE_TOP);
}
if (width % 2 == 1) {
width--;
actions.add(Action.ADD_LINE_LEFT);
}
if (height%2 == 0 && width%2 == 0) {
actions.add(Action.DOUBLE_SIZE);
height /= 2;
width /= 2;
}
}
actions.add(Action.CREATE);
Collections.reverse(actions);
int [][] tab = null;
for (Action action : actions) {
// do the stuff
}
```
**Doubling the snake path size:**
The algorithm that double the size works as follow:
Consider this node which is linked to RIGHT and BOTTOM. I want to double its size.
```
+-
|
```
There are 2 ways to double its size and keep the same exits (right and bottom):
```
+-+-
|
+-+
|
```
or
```
+-+
| |
+ +-
|
```
To determine which one to choose, I need to handle for each node direction a "shift" value, indicating if the exit door is shifted left/right or up/down. I follow the path as the snake would do, and update the shift value along the path. The shift value determines uniquely which expanded block I need to use for the next step.

# Python
Here's a very simple algorithm to get things started. It starts at the top left of the image and spirals clockwise inwards, making the color as close as possible to the next pixel's color while staying within the tolerance.
```
import Image
def colorDist(c1, c2): #not normalized
return (sum((c2[i] - c1[i])**2 for i in range(3)))**0.5
def closestColor(current, goal, tolerance):
tolerance *= 255 * 3**0.5
d = colorDist(current, goal)
if d > tolerance: #return closest color in range
#due to float rounding this may be slightly outside of tolerance range
return tuple(int(current[i] + tolerance * (goal[i] - current[i]) / d) for i in range(3))
else:
return goal
imgName = 'lena.png'
tolerance = 0.03
print 'Starting %s at %.03f tolerance.' % (imgName, tolerance)
img = Image.open(imgName).convert('RGB')
imgData = img.load()
out = Image.new('RGB', img.size)
outData = out.load()
x = y = 0
c = imgData[x, y]
traversed = []
state = 'right'
updateStep = 1000
while len(traversed) < img.size[0] * img.size[1]:
if len(traversed) > updateStep and len(traversed) % updateStep == 0:
print '%.02f%% complete' % (100 * len(traversed) / float(img.size[0] * img.size[1]))
outData[x, y] = c
traversed.append((x, y))
oldX, oldY = x, y
oldState = state
if state == 'right':
if x + 1 >= img.size[0] or (x + 1, y) in traversed:
state = 'down'
y += 1
else:
x += 1
elif state == 'down':
if y + 1 >= img.size[1] or (x, y + 1) in traversed:
state = 'left'
x -= 1
else:
y += 1
elif state == 'left':
if x - 1 < 0 or (x - 1, y) in traversed:
state = 'up'
y -= 1
else:
x -= 1
elif state == 'up':
if y - 1 < 0 or (x, y - 1) in traversed:
state = 'right'
x += 1
else:
y -= 1
c = closestColor(c, imgData[x, y], tolerance)
out.save('%.03f%s' % (tolerance, imgName))
print '100% complete'
```
It takes a minute or two to run the larger images, though I'm sure the spiraling logic could be vastly optimized.
# Results
They're interesting but not gorgeous. Amazingly a tolerance above 0.1 produces quite accurate looking results.
The Great Wave at 0.03 tolerance:
Mona Lisa at 0.02 tolerance:
Lena at 0.03 tolerance, then 0.01, then 0.005, then 0.003:

Fills the image with a snake like:
```
#--#

#--#

#--#

```
This allows for much faster color adjustment than just lines in alternating directions, but doesn't become as blocky as a 3-wide version does.
Even at very low tolerances, the edges of an image are still visible (although at the loss of detail in smaller resolutions).

Gah! It's a shame that Pokémon Sword and Shield won't introduce a new eeveelution. Let's mourn them with a code golf.
The objective is to, when given a type name as the input, output the name of the corresponding eeveelution.
* When given `Water`, output `Vaporeon`.
* When given `Electric`, output `Jolteon`.
* When given `Fire`, output `Flareon`.
* When given `Psychic`, output `Espeon`.
* When given `Dark`, output `Umbreon`.
* When given `Grass`, output `Leafeon`.
* When given `Ice`, output `Glaceon`.
* When given `Fairy`, output `Sylveon`.
* All other input falls in *don't care* situation.
No other rules. Enjoy!

In Python 2, the `hash` function consistently (across runs and also on different platforms) converts any immutable value into a 64-bit integer. By taking that integer first mod `3695`, then mod `8`, we get an integer `0<=i<8` (`3695` was found by brute force checking all possible values upto `10000`).
A common trick is used to encode a list of same-size strings into a single string and then using slicing via `[i::8]`to extract the strings without using `.split` or similar strategy. Only two options are not of length 4: `Esp` and `Vapor`. The former is handled by making it the last of the 8 strings encoded; and `Vapor` is handled using the final slicing `'reon'[s<'V':]`.

We start off by converting the input to a list of integers corresponding to the ascii characters and then summing them. This produces the following set of numbers for `["Water", "Electric", "Fire", "Psychic", "Dark", "Grass", "Ice", "Fairy"]`: `[515, 811, 390, 723, 386, 512, 273, 507]`. We then perform a magic operation (`(x % 57) % 10`) to get the following list of offsets: `[2, 3, 8, 9, 4, 6, 5, 1]`.
The bytes below correspond to the following compressed list: `[96, 600, 34, 35, 97, 371, 370, 0, 36]`, and we index into it based on the offsets we had previously. There's a 0 in there due to my inability to get it not to wrap.

This list of numbers corresponds to the location in the Pokedex, minus 100. Pyke's dictionary handily contains the Pokedex starting from index 333333 (0 indexed). It also comes with a convenient default variable, `~_`, for getting that particular number. We then add 99 to it to take an offset to Pyke's dictionary, and then use `.o` to look up that particular word.

### How?
First makes the list `['Jolt', 'Leaf', 'Umbr', 'Esp', 'Vapor', 'Sylv', 'Flar', 'Glac']`, adds `'eon'` to each, and prepends a zero to the list. Then gets the ASCII code-points of the characters in the input list, subtracts one from each, sums those up and indexes into the created list (using 1-based, modular indexing - i.e. gets the value at index `i%9`).

I hash the first four bytes of the string to determine the index into the array (the hash function is not optimal, but works well enough: there's probably a more efficient one, but it would likely be bigger!) After the index is computed, I then print the four (or five) characters of the prefix and end with "eon". It's more compact than a string array, and by keeping the five-character string at the end I simplify the indexing.
I used some quirks in the language and implementation to save some length:
* Due to operator precedence, I use `4|j>7` to give me 4 or 5, as bitwise operators have a lower precedence than relational ones.
* Strings have to have `int`-appropriate alignment and `int` has to be a 32-bit, little-endian value so I can use type punning on the input string; fortunately this is the case for the test environment.
```

**Warning : this is NOT a "hey, let's draw a cake in ASCII-art" challenge! Please keep reading ;)**
Some time ago it was my birthday, I'm 33 now.
So there is this awkward social tradition consisting in inviting family and friends, putting number-like candles on a cake, sing songs and open gifts.
```
33
--------
```
Instead of numbers, I can use the binary system to put standard candles: I place 6 of them on the cake and light two of them.
```
100001
--------
```
I can see that **both decimal and binary numbers of my age are palindromic!**
# Challenge
I want to know if any other number can be put on a cake with candles and be palindromic, decimal and binary.
Write a program/function to test if a number is palindromic in **both** decimal and binary. But wait, there's more : **in binary, leading zeros count for the test!**
## Input
A **decimal** number x that I want to test if it is birthday palindromic with 0 < x < 232-1 (yes, the people in my dimension live very long)
## Output
[Truthy](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2190/interpretation-of-truthy-falsey) if it meets exactly these two conditions, Falsey else:
* The decimal representation of the number is a standard palindrome
* The binary representation of the number is a standard palindrome, **and adding leading zeros may help with this**
## Test cases
```
1 > 1 => Truthy
6 > 110 (0110) => Truthy
9 > 1001 => Truthy
10 > 1010 (01010) => Falsey, 10 is not palindromic
12 => 1100 (001100) => Falsey, 12 is not palindromic
13 => 1101 (...01101) => Falsey, neither 13 nor 1101 are palindromic
14 => 1110 (01110) => Falsey, 14 is not palindromic
33 > 100001 => Truthy
44 > 101100 (..0101100) => Falsey, 101100 is not palindromic
1342177280 > 1010000000000000000000000000000 (00000000000000000000000000001010000000000000000000000000000) => Falsey, 1342177280 is not palindromic (but the binary representation is)
297515792 > 10001101110111011101100010000 (000010001101110111011101100010000) => Truthy
```
## Rules
* [Standard loopholes are disallowed](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1061/loopholes-that-are-forbidden-by-default)
* Built-in library conversions and tests are allowed

# JavaScript (ES6), 65 bytes
Returns `0` or `1`.
```
n=>(g=b=>[...s=n.toString(b)].reverse().join``==s)()&g(2,n/=n&-n)
```
### How?
The helper function ***g()*** takes an integer ***b*** as input and tests whether ***n*** is a palindrome in base ***b***. If ***b*** is not specified, it just converts ***n*** to a string before testing it.
We get rid of the trailing zeros in the binary representation of ***n*** by isolating the least significant *1* with `n&-n` and dividing ***n*** by the resulting quantity.
Fun fact: it's truthy for `0` because `(0/0).toString(2)` equals `"NaN"`, which is a palindrome. (But `0` is not a valid input anyway.)
### Test cases
```
let f =
n=>(g=b=>[...s=n.toString(b)].reverse().join``==s)()&g(2,n/=n&-n)
console.log(f(1 )) // Truthy
console.log(f(6 )) // Truthy
console.log(f(9 )) // Truthy
console.log(f(10)) // Falsey
console.log(f(12)) // Falsey
console.log(f(13)) // Falsey
console.log(f(14)) // Falsey
console.log(f(33)) // Truthy

We basically create an array containing the number as a decimal string and the number as a binary string with trailing 0's removed. Then we create an array with the same to strings but with the binary and decimal numbers flipped. Finally both arrays are compared and the result is either true if they match (both palindromes) or false if they don't (one or both not palindromes).

First let B be the 32-bit representation of N:
```
B←(32⍴2)⊤N
```
Then mirror B and find the position of the 1st 1:
```
(⌽B)⍳1
```
Then drop that many positions from B. This will preserve the correct number of leading 0s.
Then perform FIND and an OR-REDUCTION to see if the cropped B contains its own mirror.
Now let's look at N, the decimal. The left-most bracketed expression converts N to a character vector and checks if it MATCHes its own mirror.
Finally, an AND joins the two checks.

[Question]

# The task
Write a program or function whose input is a list/array *X* of integers, and whose output is a list of sets of integers *Y*, such that for each element *e* in each set *Y*[*i*], *X*[*e*] = *i*, and such that the total number of elements in the sets in *Y* equals the number of elements in *X*.
(This is basically the same operation as reversing a hashtable/dictionary, except applied to arrays instead.)
# Examples
These examples assume 1-based indexing, but you can use 0-based indexing instead if you prefer.
```
X Y
[4] [{},{},{},{1}]
[1,2,3] [{1},{2},{3}]
[2,2,2] [{},{1,2,3}]
[5,5,6,6] [{},{},{},{},{1,2},{3,4}]
[6,6,5,5] [{},{},{},{},{3,4},{1,2}]
```
# Clarifications
* You may represent a set as a list, if you wish. If you do so, the order of its elements does not matter, but you may not repeat elements.
* You can use any reasonable unambiguous I/O format; for example, you could separate elements of a set with spaces, and the sets themselves with newlines.
* *Y* should be finitely long, and at least long enough to have all elements of *X* as array indexes. It may, however, be longer than the maximal element of *X* (the extra elements would be empty sets).
* The elements of *X* will all be valid array indices, i.e. non-negative integers if you use 0-based indexing, or positive integers if you use 1-based indexing.

Input is a column vector, with `;` as separator (for example `[2;2;2]`). Output is the string representation of a cell array of row vectors (for example `{[]; [1 2 3]}`). A row vector of a single element is the same as a number (so `{1; 2; 3}` would be output instead of `{[1]; [2]; [3]}`).

Most of the work is done by Matlab's higher-order function `accumarray`, which groups elements in the second input according to matching values in the first, and applies a specified function to each group. The function in this case is `@(x){sort(x).'}`, which outputs the sorted elements in each group and causes the results for all groups to be packed in a cell array.

## Mathematica, 36 bytes
```
Join@@@#~Position~n~Table~{n,Max@#}&
```
## Explanation
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LRfYZ.png)
For each `n` in `{1, 2, ..., Max@#}`, where `Max@#` is the largest integer in the input list, computes the `Position`s where `n` appears in the input list `#`. Since `Position[{6,6,5,5},5]` (for example) returns `{{3},{4}}`, we then `Apply` `Join` to all elements at level `{1}` of the result.

# [Haskell](https://www.haskell.org/), 45 bytes
`s` takes a list of integers and returns a list of lists. 1-indexed to keep the test case inputs unmodified (although the output gets some extra empty lists).

These are pretty straightforward nested list comprehensions. The only slight tweak is taking advantage of the option to make a longer list by using `sum` instead of `maximum`.

[Answer]
# R, ~~68~~ ~~49~~ 47 bytes
```
lapply(1:max(x<-scan()),function(y)which(y==x))
```
Surprisingly, a lot more straightforward than the longer solutions. Takes a vector `x` from STDIN, creates a vector from `1` to `max(x)`, implicitly generates a list of length `max(x)`, and checks which indices in `x` correspond with those in the new list. Implicitly prints output.
## Older version:
```
o=vector('list',max(x<-scan()));for(i in x)o[[i]]=c(o[[i]],F<-F+1);o
```
Slightly different approach to the other R answer. Takes a vector to STDIN, creates a list with length equal to the maximum value in the input. Loops over the input and adds the index into the right place.
Uses 1-based indexing.

[Question]

# Introduction
I think everyone agrees that nice pictures have to have a nice frame. But most challenges on this site about ASCII-Art just want the raw picture and don't care about it's preservation.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a program that takes some ASCII-Art and surrounds it with a nice frame?
# The Challenge
Write a program that takes some ASCII-Art as input and outputs it surrounded by a nice frame.
**Example:**
```
*****
***
*
***
*****
```
becomes
```
╔═══════╗
║ ***** ║
║ *** ║
║ * ║
║ *** ║
║ ***** ║
╚═══════╝
```
* You have to use the exact same characters for the frame as in the example: `═ ║ ╔ ╗ ╚ ╝`
* The top and the bottom of the frame get inserted before the first and after the last line of the input.
* The left and rights parts of the frame have to have exact one space padding to the widest line of the input.
* There may be no leading or trailing whitespaces in the output. Only a trailing newline is allowed.
* You may assume that the input has no unnecessary leading whitespaces.
* You may assume that the input has no trailing whitespaces on any line.
* You don't have to handle empty input.
* The input will only contain printable ASCII-characters and newlines.
# Rules
* Function or full program allowed.

print"╔═$l═╗\n",(map{sprintf"║ %-${n}s ║\n",$_}@F),"╚═$l═╝";
```
First, we find the longest line length `$n`, by numerically sorting the lengths of all lines.
We set `$l` to be the header/footer bar to be `$n` repetitions of the horizontal frame character.
Then we print each line formatted to left-align in a field of width `$n`, sandwiched in between the frame characters.

# Challenge description
A "derangement" of a sequence is a permutation where no element appears in its original position. For example `ECABD` is a derangement of `ABCDE`, but `CBEDA` is not:
```
ABCDE
| | <- B and D are in their orignal positions
CBEDA
```
Given a sequence, generate a random derangement of it.
# Notes
* You may take either a string as an input or an array/list of elements (integers, chars, objects...)
* Instead of returning a new object, you can modify an existing one by swapping its elements
* Each derangement should have an equal probability of being generated
* You may assume that there is more than one element in the sequence and none appear more than once

{first (*Zne$_).all,.pick(*)xx *}
```
A lambda that takes a list of integers or characters as input, and returns a new list.
If it must support lists of *arbitrary* values, `ne` would have to be replaced with `!eqv` (+2 bytes).
([Try it online.](https://tio.run/#aWM7Z))
### Explanation:
* `{ }`: Defines a lambda.
* `.pick(*)`: Generates a random shuffle of the input list.
* `.pick(*) xx *`: Creates a lazy infinite sequence of such shuffles.
* `(* Zne $_).all`: A lambda that zips two lists (its argument `*`, and the outer lambda's argument `$_`) with the `ne` (negative string equality) operator, yielding a list of booleans, and then creates an [`all` junction](https://docs.perl6.org/type/Junction) to collapse them to a single boolean state.
* `first PREDICATE, SEQUENCE`: Takes the first element from our infinite sequence of permutations that fulfills the "derangement" test.

# MATL, 7 bytes
This is a translation of my Octave post (and similar to some of the other submissions here). I posted my first MATL post yesterday (CNR crack), so I guess this is not optimal, but it's the best I've got so far.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure `t` is needed in there, but it's the only way I can get this to work. It's used so that I can compare the user input (retrieved with `G`), with the random permutation. I would think I could compare the two without it, but...?
Anyway, here goes:
```
`Z@tG=a
` % Loop
Z@ % Random permutation of input
t % Duplicating the stack
G % Paste from clipboard G (user input)
= % Comparing the random permutation with the input (retrieved from clipboard)
a % any(input == random permutation)
% Implicit end and display

x=input('');while any(x==(y=x(randperm(nnz(x)))));end,y
```
We have to use `input('')` since this is not a function. Also, since I can choose to have the input as a string we can use the trick that `nnz(x)==numel(x)`.
**Explanation:**
```
x=input('') % Self-explanatory
while any(x==y) % Loop until x==y has only 0s (i.e. no elements are equal)
y=x(randperm(nnz(x))) % Continue to shuffle the indices and assign x(indices) to y
end % End loop
y % Display y
```
Thanks to Luis for noticing that the input can be a string, thus I could use `nnz` instead of `numel` saving two bytes.

Recursive function `f`. Does an element-wise comparison between `f`'s input list and and a shuffled version of the input list. If the comparison yields any equal values, then `f` is called on the shuffled list. Otherwise, we simply return the shuffled list.

Brute-force method. Shuffles the list while it's invalid. This finishes stupid fast considering it's a brute force method that does nothing to prevent duplicate tries. It found 1000 dearangments of a 1000 element long list in less than a second.

Note that a string cannot be shuffled, must be passed through `seq` or `vec`.
Originally I tried `#(first(remove(fn[s]((set(map = % s))true))(iterate shuffle %)))` but `recur` approach is indeed shorter than `iterate`.
The magic is that `(set(map = % s))` returns either a set of false, set of true or set of true and false. This can be used as a function, if it contains `true` then the answer is `true`, otherwise falsy `nil`. `=` is happy to take two input arguments, no need to wrap it with something.
```
((set [false]) true)
nil
```
Maybe there is even shorter way to check if any of the values is true?

# APL, 11 bytes.
With the string in the right argument:
`⍵[⍋(⍴⍵)?⍴⍵]`
# Explanation
`ρ⍵` gets the length (or shape) of the right argument.
`?` returns a random array of `(⍴⍵)` of these numbers.
`⍋` returns the order of them in order to ensure no duplicates.
`⍵[..]` represents the random assortment of the string using this index.

[Question]
[
[In the United States](http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/services/publications/fhwaop02090/twtmarkings_longdesc.htm), the two opposing directions of traffic on a road are separated by a dashed yellow line if passing is allowed and two solid yellow lines if passing is not allowed.
(Just one side can be dashed to allow passing on that side, and yellow lines can mean other things like center or reversible lanes, but we aren't concerned with any of those cases.)
Write a program that takes in a [run-length encoded](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding) string of `P` for *passing* and `N` for *no passing*, and prints an ASCII version of the corresponding road. Except for the center line, the road always has the same pattern, which can be easily inferred from the examples below.
There will be a positive decimal number before each `P` and `N` in the input string. This number defines the length of the *passing* or *no passing* region of the current part of the road.
### Examples
An input of `12N` would produce 12 columns of *no passing* road (center line all `=`):
```
____________
============
____________
```
An input of `12P` would produce 12 columns of *passing* road (center line `-` repeating):
```
____________
- - - - - -
____________
```
*Passing* and *no passing* can then be combined, e.g. `4N4P9N7P1N1P2N2P` would produce:
```
______________________________
====- - =========- - - -=-==-
______________________________
```
These are 4 *no passing* columns, then 4 *passing*, then 9 *no passing*, etc.
**Note that a *passing* zone always starts with a dash (`-`) on the leftmost side, not a space (). This is required.**
### Details
* The input will never have two `N` zones or two `P` zones in a row. e.g. `4P5P` will never occur.
* You don't need to support letters without a leading positive number. Plain `P` will always be `1P`, plain `N` will always be `1N`.
* There may be trailing spaces as long as they do not extend beyond the final column of the road. There may be one optional trailing newline.
* Instead of a program, you may write a function that takes in the run-length encoded string and prints or returns the ASCII road.
* Takes input in any standard way (stdin, command line, function arg).
**The shortest code in bytes wins. Tiebreaker is earlier post.**

**How it works**
We first assign the correct road column to variables `N` and `P` and then simply evaluate the input string. This leaves a pair of the length and the column on stack. We group them up, run an RLD on it to get the full columns, transpose to join them and then finally, convert the continuous `--` to `-` .
```
:_ - _":N e# This is the no passing column. We assign it to N
3'=t:P e# Replace the '-' in N with '=" and assign it to P
q~]2/ e# Read the input, evaluate it and then group it in pairs
e~ e# Run a run-length-decoder on the pairs
z'
* e# Transpose and join with new lines.
"--"/ e# Split on two continuous occurrence of -
"- "* e# Join by an alternate "- "

Although this might not count because I [added the convergence operator as a ripoff of Martin Büttner's Retina](https://github.com/kirbyfan64/rs/commit/29f5993f443a40982ca89fe5be48a920718f0072) an hour ago...I'm not really here to compete anyway. It's just fun making a regex-based solution for this.
```

+(A_*)(.)/\1_
A/
```
I got line 2 from [Martin's Retina answer for Programming Languages Through the Years](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/48479/21009).
## Explanation
```
(\d+\D)/#\1
+(\d*)#(?:(((((((((9)|8)|7)|6)|5)|4)|3)|2)|1)|0)(?=\d*\D)/\1\1\1\1\1\1\1\1\1\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10#
```
This does lots of magic. See the answer I linked above for more info.
Basically, with the input `4N4P9N7P1N1P2N2P`, this will be the result:
```
4444#N4444#P999999999#N7777777#P1#N1#P22#N22#P
```
Next:
```
\d(?=\d*#N)/=
```
This replaces the numbers preceding the no-passing symbol (N) with the equal signs. The result with the previous input:
```
====#N4444#P=========#N7777777#P=#N1#P==#N22#P
```
This:
```
(^|(?<=\D))\d(?=\d*#P)/-
```
replaces the first number preceding a passing symbol (P) with the first dash. The result:
```
====#N-444#P=========#N-777777#P=#N-#P==#N-2#P
```
The next two lines continue the same pattern:
```
+(?<=-)\d\d(?=\d*#P)/ -
(?<=-)\d(?=\d*#P)/
```
The first line replaces the rest of the line with the dash-space pattern. The second one handles an odd number; it replaces the last dash followed by a single integer (such as `-5`) with a dash-space (`-`). Now, the output is:
```
====#N- - #P=========#N- - - -#P=#N-#P==#N- #P
```
Now things are starting to fall into place. The next line:
```
#\D/
```
just removes the `#N` and `#P`.
```
((?:(=|-| ))+)/A\1\n\n\n\1\n\nA\1\n
+(A_*)(.)/\1_
```
set up the underscores on the top and bottom to give:
```
A______________________________
====- - =========- - - -=-==-
A______________________________
```
Lastly, we remove the `A`:
```
A/
```

#### Explanation
`'\d+'(...)rxapply]`: For every match of pattern `\d+`, apply the function...
`".@}:$'-= '#~'PNP'={:`, a Fork/3-Train.
* `'-= '#~'PNP'={:`: The right tine of the Fork. `{:` takes the last element (`'N'` or `'P'`), and checks it's equality against `'PNP'`, then uses the resulting boolean mask to select from `'-= '`. `'P'` gets `1 0 1` so it selects `'- '`, and N gets `0 1 0` and selects `'='`.
* `".@}:"`: The left tine of the Fork. `}:` drops the last element, keeping the digit(s) as a sting. The string is converted to a integer with `".`, the Execute operator.
* `$`: The Reshape operator reshapes the right arg by the left arg
The expression so far has produced the mid line, eg. `====- - =========- - - -=-==-` , which I will refer to as `m` below.
`,:` Itemize `m` (ie. Puts it in an array, changing the shape from `30` to `1 30`)
`4$'',''` Prepend 2 blank rows (arrays are rectangular, so the 2 chars get padded to the width of `m`) and then reshape by 4. Since there are 3 rows, reshape cycles to reuse the first row, adding another blank line.
`6$'_',` Prepends a `_` char (which again gets padded to the width of `m`) then reshapes to 6. Again, since there's 5 rows, reshaping cycles back to the first item in the array (ie. the top line) which is appended to the array, producing the final result.

How it works: `p` returns the middle line by recursively parsing the input string and concatenating the given number of symbols found by the lookup function `k`. The main function `f` joins a five element list with newlines, consisting of the top line (every char of the middle line replaced by `_`), a newline, the middle line, an empty line and the bottom line (same as top).

$a=preg_replace('/./','_',$o);
echo("$a\n\n\n$o\n\n$a\n");
```
The code can stay on a single line; it is displayed here on multiple lines to be more readable (the whitespaces and newlines used for formatting were not counted).
Two bytes can be saved by not printing the trailing newline. Five more bytes can be saved by using real newline characters on the `echo()`:
```
echo("$a
$o
$a");
```
Six additional bytes can be saved by omitting the initialization of `$o` (`$o='';`) but this will trigger a notice. The notice can be suppressed by running the script using the command line:
```

More readable:

char*s,**v,c;

for(l=6;l--;puts(s))
for(s=v[1];*s;s+=k)

putchar(l%5?l^2?32:c^78?++x&1?45:32:61:95);
}
```
The outer loop counts lines from 5 to 0.
The middle loop iterates over parts of the encoded string:
```
4N4P9N7P1N1P2N2P
4P9N7P1N1P2N2P
9N7P1N1P2N2P
7P1N1P2N2P
1N1P2N2P
1P2N2P
2N2P
2P
string is empty - exit
```
The inner loop decodes a part, like, `7P`, and iterates the needed number of times (e.g. 7).
Each iteration prints one `char`. The value of the `char` is described by the code `" -=_"[l%5?l^2?0:c^78?++x&1:2:3]`:
* If line number is 5 or 0, print `_`
* Otherwise, if line number is not equal to 2, print a space
* Otherwise, if the symbol is 'N', print `=`
* Otherwise, increase `x` by 1 (it was initialized to 2 by `sscanf`)
* If odd, print `-`, else print a space

```
ò!Í®n îZèÍg"- ="òìyÈû4 Ôû6'_ :Implicit input of string
ò!Í :Partition into the run length groups we need (See more detailed explanation below)
® :Map each Z
n : Convert to integer (the letter at the end is ignored)

Í : "n" (see below for the why)
g : Index into
"- ="ò : Partitions of "- =" of length 2

¬ :Join
y :Transpose
È :Pass each row through the following function and transpose back
û4 : Centre pad with spaces to length 4
Ô : Reverse ('cause centre padding is right-biased)
û6'_ : Centre pad with "_" to length 6
```
OK, I finally (think I) figured out how the partitioning is working! First the basics: The `ò` method partitions string between pairs of characters (X & Y) that return a truthy value when run through the method that's passed as an argument. We're using `Í` here, which is the shortcut for `n2<space>`. The space is used to close the `ò` method and the `n` and the `2` being split into two separate arguments, with the second being ignored as `ò` only expects one argument. That means that we're currently testing `XnY` but, by adding the `!`, the elements get flipped giving us `YnX`.
And now for the trickery: The possible combinations we can have (where `L=[np]` & D=`[0-9]`) are `DnL`, `LnD` & `DnD` and, in all cases, both elements are strings, which is important. The `n` attempts to convert Y to an integer, run X on it as a method and convert it back to a string, with the following possible outcomes:
* `Dnp` squares the integer resulting in a non-empty string, which is truthy, creating a partition.
* `Dnn` negates the integer resulting in a non-empty string, which is truthy, creating a partition.
* `DnD` & `LnD`, for some reason that I can't figure out, both result in `0`, which is falsey, so no partition is created.
Hopefully, that all made some sort of sense but, if it helps, [here's a handy table](https://petershaggynoble.github.io/Japt-Interpreter/?v=2.0a0&flags=LVI&code=5EBbWFlZblggISFZblhdw2kiWCBZIFluWCBCb29sZWFuIrggrvk0IG/5OCC4w2nJIPot&input=IjhuODhwODA4biI).
And, as a final note: the `Í` works exactly the same way as above when passed to the `è` method, which only expects a single string argument.

**Closed**. This question needs [details or clarity](/help/closed-questions). It is not currently accepting answers.

**Want to improve this question?** Add details and clarify the problem by [editing this post](/posts/6309/edit).
Closed 5 years ago.
[Improve this question](/posts/6309/edit)
Rules are simple:
* **First n primes** (not primes below **n**), should be printed to standard output separated by newlines (primes should be generated within the code)
* primes **cannot be generated by an inbuilt function or through a library**, i.e. use of a inbuilt or library function such as, prime = get\_nth\_prime(n), is\_a\_prime(number), or factorlist = list\_all\_factors(number) won't be very creative.
* Scoring - Say, we define **Score** = *f*([number of chars in the code]), **O**(*f*(n)) being the complexity of your algorithm where n is the number of primes it finds. So for example, if you have a 300 char code with **O**(n^2) complexity, score is 300^2 = **90000**, for 300 chars with **O**(n\*ln(n)), score becomes 300\*5.7 = **1711.13** (let's assume all logs to be natural logs for simplicity)
* Use any existing programming language, lowest score wins
**Edit:** Problem has been changed from finding 'first 1000000 primes' to 'first n primes' because of a confusion about what 'n' in O(f(n)) is, **n** is the number of primes you find (finding primes is the problem here and so complexity of the problem depends on the number of primes found)
**Note:** to clarify some confusions on complexity, if 'n' is the number of primes you find and 'N' is the nth prime found, complexity in terms of n is and N are not equivalent i.e. **O(f(n)) != O(f(N))** as , f(N) != constant \* f(n) and N != constant \* n, because we know that nth prime function is not linear, I though since we were finding 'n' primes complexity should be easily expressible in terms of 'n'.

## Python (129 chars, O(n\*log log n), score of 203.948)
I'd say the Sieve of Eratosthenes is the way to go. Very simple and relatively fast.
```
N=15485864
a=[1]*N
x=xrange
for i in x(2,3936):
if a[i]:
for j in x(i*i,N,i):a[j]=0
print [i for i in x(len(a))if a[i]==1][2:]
```
Improved code from before.
## Python (~~191 156~~ 152 chars, O(n\*log log n)(?), score of 252.620(?))
I cannot at all calculate complexity, this is the best approximation I can give.
```
from math import log as l
n=input()
N=n*int(l(n)+l(l(n)))
a=range(2,N)
for i in range(int(n**.5)+1):
a=filter(lambda x:x%a[i] or x==a[i],a)
print a[:n]
```
`n*int(l(n)+l(l(n)))` is the [top boundary](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem#Approximations_for_the_nth_prime_number) of the `n`th prime number.

## Haskell, n^1.1 empirical growth rate, 89 chars, score 139 (?)
The following works at GHCi prompt when the general library that it uses have been previously loaded. Print *n*-th prime, 1-based:
`let s=3:minus[5,7..](unionAll[[p*p,p*p+2*p..]|p<-s])in getLine>>=(print.((0:2:s)!!).read)`
This is unbounded sieve of Eratosthenes, using a general-use library for ordered lists. Empirical complexity between 100,000 and 200,000 primes `O(n^1.1)`. Fits to `O(n*log(n)*log(log n))`.
## About complexity estimation
I measured run time for 100k and 200k primes, then calculated `logBase 2 (t2/t1)`, which produced `n^1.09`. Defining `g n = n*log n*log(log n)`, calculating `logBase 2 (g 200000 / g 100000)` gives `n^1.12`.
Then, `89**1.1 = 139`, although `g(89) = 600`. --- **(?)**
It seems that for scoring the estimated growth rate should be used instead of complexity function itself. For example, `g2 n = n*((log n)**2)*log(log n)` is much better than `n**1.5`, but for 100 chars the two produce score of `3239` and `1000`, respectively. This can't be right. Estimation on 200k/100k range gives `logBase 2 (g2 200000 / g2 100000) = 1.2` and thus score of `100**1.2 = 251`.
Also, I don't attempt to print out all primes, just the *n*-th prime instead.
## No imports, 240 chars. n^1.15 empirical growth rate, score 546.
```
main=getLine>>=(print.s.read)

## Haskell, ~~72~~ 89 chars, O(n^2), Score 7921
Highest score per char count wins right? Modified for first N. Also I apparently can't use a calculator, so my score is not as abysmally bad as I thought. (using the complexity for basic trial division as found in the source below).
As per **Will Ness** the below is not a full Haskell program (it actually relies on the REPL). The following is a more complete program with a pseudo-sieve (the imports actually save a char, but I dislike imports in code golf).
```
main=getLine>>= \x->print.take(read x).(let s(x:y)=x:s(filter((>0).(`mod`x))y)in s)$[2..]
```
This version is undoubtedly (n^2). The algorithm is just a golf version of the naive ``sieve'', as seen [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3596502/lazy-list-of-prime-numbers)
Old ghci 1 liner
```
getLine>>= \x->print.take(read x)$Data.List.nubBy(\x y->x`mod`y==0)[2..]
```
Leaving up the old, cheating answer because the library it links to is pretty nice.
```
print$take(10^6)Data.Numbers.Primes.primes
```
See [here](https://github.com/sebfisch/primes) for an implementation and the links for the time complexity. Unfortunately wheels have a log(n) lookup time, slowing us down by a factor.

# Vim: 143 keystrokes (115 actions): O(n^2\*log(n)): Score: 101485.21
## Submission:
```
qpqqdqA^V^Ayyp<Esc>3h"aC@a<Esc>0C1<Esc>@"ddmpqdmd"bywo^Ra ^Rb 0 0 `pj@p ^Ra 0 ^R=@a%@b<Enter> `pdd@p 0 `dj@d<Esc>0*w*wyiWdd@0qqpmp"aywgg@dqgg@p
```
Input: N should be on the first line of a blank document. After this is finished, each prime from 2 to N will be a separate line.
## Running the Commands:
First, note that any commands with a caret in front of them mean you need to hold Ctrl and type the next letter (e.g. ^V is `Ctrl-v` and ^R is `Ctrl-r`).
This will overwrite anything in your @a, @b, @d, and @p registers.
Because this uses `q` commands, it can't just be placed in a macro. However, here are some tips for running it.
* `qpqqdq` just clears registers
* `A^V^Ayyp<Esc>3h"aC@a<Esc>0C1<Esc>@"dd` will create a list of numbers 2 to N+1. This is a break between the two main parts, so once this is done, you shouldn't need to do it again
* `mpqdmd"bywo^Ra ^Rb 0 0 `pj@p ^Ra 0 ^R=@a%@b<Enter> `pdd@p 0 `dj@d<Esc>0*w*wyiWdd@0qqpmp"aywgg@dqgg@p` does need to be typed in one go. Try to avoid backspace as it may screw something up.
+ If you make a mistake, type `qdqqpq` then try this line again.
For large N, this is *very* slow. It took around 27 minutes to run N=5000; consider yourself warned.
## Algorithm:
This uses a basic recursive algorithm for finding primes. Given a list of all primes between 1 and A, A+1 is prime if it not divisible by any of the numbers in the list of primes. Start at A = 2 and add primes to the list as they are found. After N recursions, the list will contain all the primes up to N.
## Complexity
This algorithm has a complexity of O(nN), where N is the input number and n is the number of primes up to N. Each recursion tests n numbers, and N recursions are performed, giving O(nN).
However, N ~ n\*log(n), giving the final complexity as O(n2\*log(n))(<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem#Approximations_for_the_nth_prime_number>)
## Explanation
It's not easy to discern the program flow from the vim commands, so I rewrote it in Python following the same flow. Like the Vim code, the python code will error out when it reaches the end. Python doesn't like too much recursion; if you try this code with N > 150 or so, it will reach the max recursion depth
```
N = 20
primes = range(2, N+1)
# Python needs these defined.
mark_p = b = a = -1
# Check new number for factors.
# This macro could be wrapped up in @d, but it saves space to leave it separate.
def p():
global mark_d, mark_p, primes, a
mark_d = 0
print(primes)
a = primes[mark_p]
d()
# Checks factor and determine what to do next
def d():
global mark_d, mark_p, a, b, primes
b = primes[mark_d]
if(a == b): # Number is prime, check the next number
mark_p += 1
p()
else:
if(a%b == 0): # Number is not prime, delete it and check next number
del(primes[mark_p])
p()
else: # Number might be prime, try next possible factor
mark_d += 1
d()
mark_p = 0 #Start at first number
p()
```
Now, to break down the actual keystrokes!
* `qpqqdq` Clears out the @d and @p registers. This will ensure nothing runs when setting up these recursive macros.
* `A^V^Ayyp<Esc>3h"aC@a<Esc>0C1<Esc>@"dd` Turns the input into a list of numbers from 2 to N+1. The N+1 entry is deleted as a side effect of setting up the @d macro.
+ Specifically, writes a macro that increments a number, then copies it on the next line, then it writes a 1 and executes this macro N times.
* `mpqdmd"bywo^Ra ^Rb 0 0 `pj@p ^Ra 0 ^R=@a%@b<Enter> `pdd@p 0 `dj@d<Esc>0*w*wyiWdd@0q` writes the @d macro, which implements the d() function above. "If" statements are interesting to implement in Vim. By using the search operator \*, it's possible to choose a certain path to follow. Breaking the command down further we get
+ `mpqd` Set the p mark here and start recording the @d macro. The p mark needs to be set so there is a known point to jump to as this runs
+ `o^Ra ^Rb 0 0 `pj@p ^Ra 0 ^R=@a%@b<Enter> `pdd@p 0 `dj@d<Esc>` Writes the if/else statement text
+ `0*w*wyiWdd@0` actually executes the if statement.
+ Before executing this command, the line will contain `@a @b 0 0 `pj@p @a 0 (@a%@b) `pdd@p 0 `dj@d`
+ `0` moves the cursor to the beginning of the line
+ `*w*w` Moves the cursor to the code to execute next
1. if @a == @b, that is ``pj@p`, which moves to the next number for @a and runs @p on it.
2. if @a != @b and @a%@b == 0, that is ``pdd@p`, which deletes the current number @a, then runs @p on the next one.
3. if @a != @b and @a%%b != 0, that is ``dj@d`, which checks the next number for @b to see if it is a factor of @a
+ `yiWdd@0` yanks the command into the 0 register, deletes the line and runs the command
+ `q` ends the recording of the @d macro
* When this is first run, the ``pdd@p` command is run, deleting the N+1 line.
* `qpmp"aywgg@dq` writes the @p macro, which saves the number under the cursor, then goes to the first entry and runs @d on that.
* `gg@p` actually executes @p so that it will iterate over the whole file.

```

This does simple trial division by primes. If near the cutting edge of Ruby (i.e. using 1.9.3.0) the arithmetic uses Toom-Cook 3 multiplication, so a trial division is O(n^1.465) and the overall cost of the divisions is `O((n ln n)^1.5 ln (n ln n)^0.465) = O(n^1.5 (ln n)^1.965)`†. However, in GolfScript adding an element to an array requires copying the array. I've optimised this to copy the list of primes only when it finds a new prime, so only `n` times in total. Each copy operation is `O(n)` items of size `O(ln(n ln n)) = O(ln n)`†, giving `O(n^2 ln n)`.
And this, boys and girls, is why GolfScript is used for golfing rather than for serious programming.
† `O(ln (n ln n)) = O(ln n + ln ln n) = O(ln n)`. I should have spotted this before commenting on various posts...

### Scala 263 characters
Updated to fit to the new requirements. 25% of the code deal with finding a reasonable upper bound to calculate primes below.
```
object P extends App{
def c(M:Int)={
val p=collection.mutable.BitSet(M+1)
p(2)=true
(3 to M+1 by 2).map(p(_)=true)
for(i<-p){
var j=2*i;
while(j<M){
if(p(j))p(j)=false
j+=i}
}
p
}
val i=args(0).toInt
println(c(((math.log(i)*i*1.3)toInt)).take(i).mkString("\n"))
}
```
I got a sieve too.
Here is an empirical test of the calculation costs, ungolfed for analysis:
```
object PrimesTo extends App{
var cnt=0
def c(M:Int)={
val p=(false::false::true::List.range(3,M+1).map(_%2!=0)).toArray
for (i <- List.range (3, M, 2)
if (p (i))) {
var j=2*i;
while (j < M) {
cnt+=1
if (p (j))
p(j)=false
j+=i}
}
(1 to M).filter (x => p (x))
}
val i = args(0).toInt
/*
To get the number x with i primes below, it is nearly ln(x)*x. For small numbers
we need a correction factor 1.13, and to avoid a bigger factor for very small
numbers we add 666 as an upper bound.
*/
val x = (math.log(i)*i*1.13).toInt+666
println (c(x).take (i).mkString("\n"))
System.err.println (x + "\tcount: " + cnt)
}
for n in {1..5} ; do i=$((10**$n)); scala -J-Xmx768M P $i ; done
```
leads to following counts:
```
List (960, 1766, 15127, 217099, 2988966)
```
I'm not sure how to calculate the score. Is it worth to write 5 more characters?
```
scala> List(4, 25, 168, 1229, 9592, 78498, 664579, 5761455, 50847534).map(x=>(math.log(x)*x*1.13).toInt+666)
res42: List[Int] = List(672, 756, 1638, 10545, 100045, 1000419, 10068909, 101346800, 1019549994)

res43: List[Int] = List(7, 104, 1119, 11365, 114329, 1150158, 11582935, 116592898, 1172932855)
```
For bigger n it reduces the calculations by about 16% in that range, but afaik for the score formula, we don't consider constant factors?
### new Big-O considerations:
To find 1 000, 10 000, 100 000 primes and so on, I use a formula about the density of primes x=>(math.log(x)\*x\*1.3 which determines the outer loop I'm running.
So for values i in 1 to 6=> NPrimes (10^i) runs 9399, 133768 ... times the outer loop.
I found this O-function iteratively with help from the comment of Peter Taylor, who suggested a much higher value for exponentiation, instead of 1.01 he suggested 1.5:
```
def O(n:Int) = (math.pow((n * math.log (n)), 1.01)).toLong
```
O: (n: Int)Long
```
val ns = List(10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000*1000).map(x=>(math.log(x)*x*1.3)toInt).map(O)
```
ns: List[Long] = List(102, 4152, 91532, 1612894, 25192460, 364664351)
```
That's the list of upper values, to find primes below (since my algorithm has to know this value before it has to estimate it), send through the O-function, to find similar quotients for moving from 100 to 1000 to 10000 primes and so on:
(ns.head /: ns.tail)((a, b) => {println (b*1.0/a); b})
40.705882352941174
22.045279383429673
17.62109426211598
15.619414543051187
14.47513863274964
13.73425213148954
```
This are the quotients, if I use 1.01 as exponent. Here is what the counter finds empirically:
```
ns: Array[Int] = Array(1628, 2929, 23583, 321898, 4291625, 54289190, 660847317)
(ns.head /: ns.tail)((a, b) => {println (b*1.0/a); b})
1.799140049140049
8.051553431205189
13.649578085909342
13.332251210010625
12.65003116535112
12.172723833234572
```
The first two values are outliers, because I have make a constant correction for my estimation formular for small values (up to 1000).
With Peter Taylors suggestion of 1.5 it would look like:
```
245.2396265560166
98.8566987153728
70.8831374743478
59.26104390040363
52.92941829568069
48.956394784317816
```
Now with my value I get to:
```
O(263)
res85: Long = 1576
```
But I'm unsure, how close I can come with my O-function to the observed values.

# Ruby, 84 chars, 84 bytes, score?
This one is probably a little too novice for these parts, but I had a fun time doing it. It simply loops until `f` (primes found) is equal to `n`, the desired number of primes to be found.
The fun part is that for each loop it creates an array from 2 to one less than the number being inspected. Then it maps each element in the array to be the modulus of the original number and the element, and checks to see if any of the results are zero.
Also, I have no idea how to score it.
## Update
Code compacted and included a (totally arbitrary) value for `n`
```
n,f,i=5**5,0,2
until f==n;f+=1;p i if !(2...i).to_a.map{|j|i%j}.include?(0);i+=1;end
```
## Original
```
f, i = 0, 2
until f == n
(f += 1; p i) if !(2...i).to_a.map{|j| i % j}.include?(0)
i += 1
end
```
The `i += 1` bit and `until` loop are sort of jumping out at me as areas for improvement, but on this track I'm sort of stuck. Anyway, it was fun to think about.

Primes get calculated by letting the already found primes jump on the "tape of positive integers". Basically it is a serialised Sieve Of Eratosthenes.
```
from time import time as t
L = {}
n = 2
l = 0
t0=t()
while l<1000000:
if n in L:
P = L[n]
else:
P = n
l += 1
print t()-t0
m = n+P
while m in L:
m += P
L[m] = P
n += 1
```
...is the same algorithm in Python and prints out the time when the `l`-th prime was found instead of the prime itself.
The output plotted with `gnuplot` yields the following:
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/PwdrR.png)
The jumps probably have something to do with file i/o delays due to writing buffered data to disk...
Using much larger numbers of primes to find, will bring additional system dependent delays into the game, e.g. the array representing the "tape of positive integers" grows continuously and sooner or later will make every computer cry for more RAM (or later swap).
...so getting an idea of the complexity by looking at the experimental data does not really help a lot... :-(

## Perl 6, 152 bytes, O(n log n log (n log n) log (log (n log n))) (?), 9594.79 points
According to [this page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes), the bit complexity of finding all primes up to n is O(n log n log log n); the complexity above uses the fact that the nth prime is proportional to n log n.
```

{[1,2]+(1..it).findAll{x->(2..x**0.5).every{x%it}}}
```
Takes in n and outputs all numbers from 1 to n which are prime.
The algorithm I chose only outputs primes n > 2, so adding 1,2 at the beginning is required.
## Breakdown
`x%it` - Implicit truthy if it is not divisible, falsy if it is.
`(2..x**0.5).every{...}` - For all the values between 2 and sqrt(x) ensure that they are not divisible, for this to return true, must return true for *every*.
`(1..it).findAll{x->...}` - For all values between 1 and n, find all that fit the criteria of being non-divisible between 2 and sqrt(n).
`{[1,2]+...}` - Add 1 and 2, because they are always prime and never covered by algorithm.

It keeps a list of prime numbers found and checks divisibility of each next number by primes already found. Moreover, it checks only upto the square root of number being tested since that is enough.

[Question]
[
A *Munchausen Number* in base \$b\$, also known as a [Perfect digit-to-digit invariant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_digit-to-digit_invariant) or PDDI is a peculiar type of positive integer where the sum of its base-\$b\$ digits raised to themselves is equal to the number itself. They are named for the fictional [Baron Munchausen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Munchausen), who apparently hoisted himself up via his own ponytail to save himself from drowning. A related concept is [Narcissistic numbers](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/15244/test-a-number-for-narcissism).
For instance, \$1\$ is trivially a Munchausen number in every base because \$1^1=1\$. Additionally, every positive integer is a base-1 Munchausen number by definition.
More interestingly, \$3435\$ is a base-10 Munchausen number because \$3^3+4^4+3^3+5^5=3435\$, and in fact is [the only other base-10 Munchausen number](https://arxiv.org/pdf/0911.3038v2.pdf).
A partial list of Munchausen numbers in every base up to 35 can be found on the OEIS as sequence [A166623](https://oeis.org/A166623).
Given a positive integer \$n>0\$, determine if it is a Munchausen number in any base \$b\geq2\$.
## Rules
* Default I/O rules apply, so:
+ Full program or functions are acceptable.
+ Input can be from STDIN, as a function argument, and output can be to STDOUT, as a function return value, etc.
* Default loopholes apply.
* The output must be one of two distinct, consistent results. So `TRUE` is fine for truthy and `FALSE` is fine for falsy, but you can reverse that or return `None` for truthy and `1` for falsy or whatever. Please specify the selected results in your answer.
* Your answer has to work at least theoretically for any positive integer.
* Munchausen numbers use the convention \$0^0=1\$, so \$2\$ is a base-2 Munchausen number as \$1^1+0^0=2\$. Your code must follow this convention.
* Explanations are strongly encouraged, even though submissions will most likely use the brute-force search method.
* Using esoteric languages earns you brownie points since Munchausen was apparently a strange person.

[Question]
[
The [Triforce](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triforce) is a fictional artifact in [The Legend of Zelda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda), made of three identical-looking equilateral triangles representing power, wisdom and courage. Several games in the saga include an animation when the three parts finally join together.
The purpose of this challenge is to draw a single 2D frame of such a simplified animation, with a given width for the triangles and a given spacing between the parts.
## Input
The input consists of two integers: a width \$w\ge1\$ and a spacing value \$s\ge0\$.
## Output
The frame has to be drawn according to the following specifications:
```
/\
/ \____________ this part is horizontally centered
/ \
/______\
\___ s empty lines
/
/\ /\
/ \ / \______ w+1 backslashes
/ \ / \
/______\ /______\
\_______ 2w underscores
|__|
\_____________ 2s spaces
```
In the above example, we have \$w=3\$ and \$s=2\$.
## More examples
\$w=1\$, \$s=0\$:
```
/\
/__\
/\ /\
/__\/__\
```
\$w=2\$, \$s=0\$:
```
/\
/ \
/____\
/\ /\
/ \ / \
/____\/____\
```
\$w=3\$, \$s=3\$:
```
/\
/ \
/ \
/______\
/\ /\
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
/______\ /______\
```
\$w=4\$, \$s=1\$:
```
/\
/ \
/ \
/ \
/________\
/\ /\
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
/________\ /________\
```

[Question]
[
"Digital sum" refers to the sum of all the digits in a number.
For example, the digital sum of `1324` is `10`, because `1+3+2+4 = 10`.
The challenge is to write a program/function to calculate the smallest number bigger than the input whose digital sum is the input.
## Example with walkthrough
As an example, take the number `9` as the input:
```
9 = 1+8 -> 18
9 = 2+7 -> 27
9 = 3+6 -> 36
...
9 = 8+1 -> 81
9 = 9+0 -> 90
```
The valid output would be the smallest number above, which is `18`.
## Specs
Note that `9` is not the valid output for this example, because the reversed number must be greater than the original number.
Note that the input will be positive.
## Test-Cases:
```
2 => 11 (2 = 1 + 1)
8 => 17 (8 = 1 + 7)
12 => 39 (12 = 3 + 9)
16 => 79 (16 = 7 + 9)
18 => 99 (18 = 9 + 9)
24 => 699 (24 = 6 + 9 + 9)
32 => 5999 (32 = 5 + 9 + 9 + 9)
```

A direct expression. Makes a number string with 9's at the end and the remainder at the beginning. Except, for single-digit `n`, gives `n+9`.
Some outputs have leading zeroes (`099` for `18`).

This doesn't actually search for the result linearly, but computes it explicitly:
* If the input `n` is greater than 9, we replace it with `n % 9` followed by `n / 9` (floored) nines.
* Otherwise, we replace it with `n + 9`.
---
Using `!` (or anything else that isn't `1`) as the unary digit, I can save one more byte with the following approach:
```
^!(?!!{9})
1
r`!{0,9}
$.&
0\B
```
But this input format is a bit of a stretch, I think.

## PowerShell v2+, 62 bytes
```
param($n)for($a=$n+1;([char[]]"$a"-join'+'|iex)-ne$n;$a++){}$a
```
Takes input `$n` then executes a `for` loop. We initialize the loop by setting our target number, `$a`, to be one larger than `$n` (since it has to be bigger, plus this ensures `1..9` work correctly). Each loop we increment `$a++`. Nothing happens in the loop proper, but the conditional is where the program logic happens. We're literally taking the target number as a string, casting it as a char-array, `-join`ing the array with `+` and then piping it to `iex` (similar to `eval`). We test whether that's equal to our input number or not, and continue looping accordingly. Once we've exited the loop, we've reached where our target number is digit-sum equal to our input number, so `$a` is placed on the pipeline and output is implicit.

For reference, here's the "construct a string with the appropriate number of 9's" method that other folks have done, at **67 bytes**
```
param($n)(($n+9),(+(""+($n%9)+'9'*(($n/9)-replace'\..*'))))[$n-gt9]
```
or the "pure integer arithmetic" method that other folks have done, at **70 bytes**
```
param($n)(($n+9),("(1+$n%9)*1e$(($n/9)-replace'\..*')-1"|iex))[$n-gt9]
```
Neither of which are shorter, but both of which are more interesting.
[Answer]
# Ruby, 38 bytes
```
f=->n{n<11?n+9:"#{n<19?n-9:f.(n-9)}9"}
```
This answer returns a string or int depending on input size. It is a recursive solution that asks for a solution for 9 less then adds a "9" to the end.
---
# Ruby, 39 bytes
```
f=->n{n<11?n+9:(n<19?n-9:f.(n-9))*10+9}
```
For one more byte, this answer always returns an int. same algorithm as above but with numbers.

Saved another 6 bytes thanks to @Conor O'Brien and @Shaun H.
I think I'll leave it as is, because this version differs from @Neil's answer by using `String.repeat()`.
```
v=>+(v>9?v%9+'9'.repeat(v/9):v+9)
```
Previous version (saved 6 bytes thanks to @Qwertiy):
```
f=v=>+(v/9>1?v%9+'9'.repeat(v/9|0):v+9)
```
First version:
```
f=v=>+(v/9>1?v%9+'9'.repeat(~~(v/9)):'1'+v-1)

Write a program for a specific language that in different orientations performs different tasks.
Your code should have at least two non-empty lines and at least two non-empty columns and should complete at least one challenge from each category of challenges below when oriented in different ways.
## Orientations
Your code can be arranged eight different ways, original and three ninety degree rotations and each reversed, eg:
```
$_= $@$ /$ =.
@F. /F_ .F@ _F/
$/ .= =_$ $@$
=_$ .= $/ $@$
.F@ /F_ @F. _F/
/$ $@$ $_= =.
```

## Scoring
Your score will be the number of different tasks solved by your code (higher is better) with code length as a tie-breaker (lower is better).
## Rules
* All programs must be in the same language
* The rules for each task are as specified in the linked questions.
* Multiple tasks can be completed in the same orientation to help maximise score. For example, if s challenge has no expectation to handle the empty input, you could instead perform another task that takes no input.
* Your code must perform tasks when oriented in at least three unique rotations.
* You can assume that spaces will be automatically added when rotating your code, however if your code does necessitate space padding on the end of lines of each rotation, these should be included.

## Explanation:
In general, I mostly rely on the builtin `q`. This will stop the program, making everything after it no-ops.
In addition, for the four main rotations, I split them up into integer/string/no input with:
```
.ïi # If the (implicit) input is an integer:
# Do something with the integer-input
ëĀi # Else-if the (implicit) input-string is NOT empty:
# (using the Python-truthify builtin `Ā`)
# Do something else with the string-input
ë # Else (there is no input):
# Do something else without input
```
For the two clockwise rotations it's similar, but only with integer or no input (since there aren't any other challenges available with input from the list in the challenge).
And for the two counterclockwise rotations it's just a kolmogorov-complexity output without input.
Some things I had to fix for the rotations include:
* Adding an additional space between the `.ï` and `i` at the start of the first line, and a space on each subsequent line. Without this space, the middle character for subprogram of the *Print the last, middle and first character of your code* challenge would have a newline character as the center, which isn't possible without screwing up the layout. With that added space, the middle character in that rotation also becomes a space (the first and last characters are both `.`).
* Adding `\”` at the end of the final line. This is to close this string and discard it for the programs with all rows and each row itself reversed, which will now contain a leading `””\` followed by a bunch of no-op spaces.
* For most rotations I reuse the `.` for the `.ï` (is\_integer check), but for one rotation it's `.…` instead. `.` opens up 2-byte builtins, but since `.…` doesn't exist, the `.` is a no-op instead in this case.
**As for an explanation of each individual program:**

*[string](/questions/tagged/string "show questions tagged 'string'") "Hello, World!"*: `”Ÿ™,‚ï!”`
[See this answer of *@Adnan*](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/67457/52210), except with trailing `”` to close the string.
The `]` you see before the `q` in each program is to close all open if-else statements and loops before doing this `q`.
I'm unable to fit anything more in it from the list in the challenge description. The ones left are three ([kolmogorov-complexity](/questions/tagged/kolmogorov-complexity "show questions tagged 'kolmogorov-complexity'")/[ascii-art](/questions/tagged/ascii-art "show questions tagged 'ascii-art'")) that require you to output something without input (which I have already used in all eight rotations) and four [quine](/questions/tagged/quine "show questions tagged 'quine'")-related challenges, which are just impossible with this kind of layout in 05AB1E.
If there would have been more challenges taking integer/string inputs, those could have been added as well.

Before explaining how it works, let me tell how I created the monster
above. I started off with 8 programs, each doing 1 to 3 tasks. Which task they do depends on the input (all input is read as a single line from `STDIN`) they get: void, an integer, or a string. 8 programs handle void input, 6 handle integer input, and 4 handle string input. If there would be more tasks which take integer and/or string input, we could have handled 24 inputs.
Now, we take the 8 programs, and combine them in the following way:
```
###################PP=PP#
PROGRAM 1 TOP ##RRpRR#
PROGRAM 1 BOTTOM ##OOoOO#
=pod ##GGdGG#
PROGRAM 2 BOTTOM ##RR RR#
PROGRAM 2 TOP ##AA AA#
###################MM MM#
# # # #
# M M # #44 33#
# O O # # #
# T T # #TB BT#
#PT TP# #OO OO#
#OO OO# #PT TP#
#TB BT# # T T #
# # # O O #
#77 88# # M M #
# # # #
#MM MM###################
#AA AA## POT 6 MARGORP
#RR RR## MOTTOB 6 MARGORP
#GGdGG## dop=
#OOoOO## MOTTOB 5 MARGORP
#RRpRR## POT 5 MARGORP
#PP=PP###################
```
Any 'gaps' (whether from short lines, or how the programs are laid out) are filled with random characters, protected by comment characters.
Any lines starting with `=pod` prevent Perl to see the rest of the program; this way we get to have two programs per rotation; flipping the program in the x-axis exposes the other program.
A few things need to be taken care off: programs should finish with semi-colon or a right-paren which closes a block. That way, the final statement is finished, and only then, Perl will recognized the `=pod` as the start of a `POD` section. Second, if we have a construct of the form `s[pattern][replacement]`, with a newline between the `s[pattern]` and `[replacement]`, we must add a space after `s[pattern]`. Otherwise, we may end up with `s[pattern]#`, and that `#` Perl will not see as a comment, but as a delimiter for the replacement part. With a space before the `#`, Perl will treat it as a comment.
Up to the tasks!
## No rotations, no mirroring

say;

### No input
Without input, this does the "In Honor of Adam West" task. We're using a simple encoded string, where repeated characters are encoded as `NNc`, which means `NN` times the character `c`. The string is decoded and printed.

Now we determine whether the given number is a Rude Number. We take the number, get the binary representation, prepend `00`, and look whether the result contains `00100` followed by `N`s `0`s and `1`s, where `N` is a multiple of 5.

### Integer input
We do the "It's my Birthday :D" task. If the input equals `0`, we print out `Congratulations on your new baby! :D`. For the input (`N`) is positive, we start printing out `N` candles, then a cake of width `2 * N - 1`. If the input is negative, we print a candleless cake, with width `3`. All pretty straightforward.

### String input
Now we do the "No A. just CAPS LOCK". We repeatedly find strings which are delimited by `a` (either case), with no `a` in between (with some trickery to make it work for the end of the string as well. We throw away the bounding `a`s, and flip the case of the string between the `a`s.

### Integer input (non-negative)
We will now determine whether the given number is a prime number. We do this by checking whether non of the integers between (but not including) `1` and the input number evenly divides the input number. We then print the result (`1` if it's a prime, an empty line if it's not).

### String input
Now we do the YouTube Comments #1 task. We do this by finding all sub strings of the given string, which are anchored at the beginning. This is done by use a regexp (`/^.*?/`), printing the match (`/(?{say $&})/`) and then failing the match (`/(?!)/` (it can never happen that the current position isn't followed by an empty string)). This cause Perl to backtrack and try the next match. The quantifier modifier `?` makes Perl try the shortest strings first. This takes care of the first half (including the full line). For the second half, we use `/^(..*)./`, which does almost the same thing, except it only matches sub strings which are followed by at least one other character (so, it skips the full string), and it tries it in "longest first" order.

Then we effectively get:

### No input
This prints out the "Tabula Recta". It does so by creating a string consisting of all the letters `A` to `Z`, followed by the letters `A` to `Y` (so, 51 letters in total). We then find all sub strings of length 26 and print them, using the same trick as above.

### Integer input (non negative)
In this case, we calculate the `N`th Fibonacci number, where `N` is the input. We do this by keeping track of two numbers, initialized to `(0, 1)`, and `N` times replacing `(n, m)` by `(m, n + m)`.

### String input
Now we "Covfefify a string". We start of by grabbing the parts of the string we need (`/^($c*$v*($c))$c*($v)/`, where `$c` and `$v` are character classes matching consonants and vowels). We find the replacement consonant by doing a lookup (`{split//,bpcgdtfvgkkgpbsztdvfzs}->{$2}||$2` -- the string is split into a list of characters, the surrounding `{}` turns the list into a hash ref; the `->{$2}` indexes the second captures; if there is no match, the `||$2` makes it return the second capture -- this takes care of consonants which are replaced by themselves). Then it's a matter of constructing the final string.

## Rotate the program, no mirroring
We effectively end up with:

### No input
We now "Build me a brick wall!". We start off by concatenating the string `___|` 18 times by it self, adding a newline, then doubling the line. We remove the first two characters, and the last two characters before the final newline. We then print the result 5 times.

### Other input
It's time to build a snowman. We split the input on characters (which is assumed to be a string consisting of `1`s, `2`s, `3`s, and `4`s). It's then just a matter of combining the pieces of the snowman by getting the right parts from a series of lists.

### No input
Without input, the program does the FizzBuzz challenge. Nothing special going here, we loop numbers from 1 to 100, if 15 divides it evently, "FizzBuzz" is printed; if 5 divides it evently, "Buzz" is printed; if 3 divides it evenly, "Fizz" is printed, else, the number itself is printed.

This does only one thing, sing "Happy Birthday". The string "Happy Birthday to You" is created, and printed twice. Then it's printed with "to" replaced by "Dear", and "You" by "Perl". Then the original string is printed once again.

## Rotated 270° counter clockwise, mirrored.
Effectively, we end up with:
```
$x=(("Baby Shark".(
" doo"x6).$/)x3).Baby.
" Shark!";say$x;say$x
=~s/Baby/$_/gr for
Daddy,Mommy,Grandpa,
Grandma;
```
This sings Baby Shark. It creates the string "Baby Shark doo doo doo doo\n", repeated thrice, followed by "Baby Shark!". This is printed, then it's printed another four times with Baby replaced by "Daddy", "Mommy", "Grandpa", and "Grandma" repectively.

Nothing special here. We push the 650 characters which needs to be printed
on the stack, then use a loop to print 650 characters.

As above; it pushes the 230 characters to be printed on the stack, and
then uses a loop to print 230 characters. It will reuse part of the loop
from the solution above.

Uses a tiny loop. In the loop it duplicates the top of the stack, prints it, then adds 1 to the top of the stack. Rinse and repeat. `1` is pushed on the stack before entering the loop.

This will push the necessary characters on the stack, and then prints those characters (no loop).

We are (ab)using the fact that (ba)sh is a true interpreter: it reads a line of code, and execute it. This means, once it has encountered an `exit`, it will never see the rest of the program, and won't complain it cannot parse it.

On TIO, this will actually print `Hello,\c`, followed by `World!` on a newline. Whether `\c` is supported is implementation defined according to POSIX.1, and so is the alternative, the `-n` option. The intention is to surpres the newline `echo` by default emits. (And on my system, the builtin `echo` omits a newline when encountering `\c`, but doesn't recognize `-n` -- and the standalone utility does both). YMMV.

[Question]
[
According to [this site](http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/capitalization/rules-for-capitalization-in-titles.html#8Xf7g96YSUq87kkL.99) a general rule recommended by *The U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual* is
>
> Capitalize all words in titles of publications and documents, except
> a, an, the, at, by, for, in, of, on, to, up, and, as, but, or, and
> nor.
>
>
>
This might not be true as I'm unable to find such a recommendation in the [Style Manual](https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/search/pagedetails.action?granuleId=&packageId=GPO-STYLEMANUAL-2008), but let's use this rule anyway.
---
**The Challenge**
Given an input string consisting of lower case words delimited by spaces, output the capitalization of the string according to the following rules
* The first and last word is capitalized.
* All other words are capitalized, except *a*, *an*, *the*, *at*, *by*, *for*, *in*, *of*, *on*, *to*, *up*, *and*, *as*, *but*, *or*, and *nor*.
The input string will contain at least one word and each word contains at least one letter and only characters from `a` to `z`.
This is a code golf challenge, so try to use as few bytes as possible in the language of your choice. You may write a full program or a function to accomplish the task.

```

## Python 2, 118 bytes
Look ma, no regex!
```
for w in`input()`.split():print[w.title(),w][`w`in"'a'an'and'as'at'the'by'but'for'nor'in'of'on'or'to'up'"].strip("'"),
```
Input must be wrapped in quotes. Output has a trailing space and no trailing newline (I assume that's okay). [Verify all test cases on Ideone](http://ideone.com/zgCcW9).
### Explanation
Let's take the input `a or an` as our example.
Using Python 2's ``x`` shortcut for `repr`, we wrap the input in single quotes: `'a or an'`. Then we split on whitespace and iterate over the words.
Inside the loop, we take the `repr` *again*. For the first and last words, this gives `"'a"` and `"an'"`. For other words, it gives `'or'`. We want to avoid capitalizing words if they fit the latter pattern and are in the short-words list. So we can represent the word list as the string `"'a'an'...'up'"` and know that the `repr` of any short word will be a substring.
``w` in "..."` gives a boolean value, which we can treat as `0` or `1` for the purposes of indexing into the list `[w.title(), w]`. In short, we title-case the word if it is at the beginning, at the end, or not in the list of short words. Otherwise, we leave it alone. Fortunately, `title()` still works as expected with input like `'a`.
Finally, we strip any single quotes from the word and print it with a trailing space.

### How?
A compressed string with spaces separating the words would be `47` bytes, splitting it costs `1` byte, for `48` bytes.
Two unseparated compressed strings of the words of length `2` and `3` (with an 'a' on the end of one) respectively would be `40` bytes plus `2` to split each and `1` to join them, for `45` bytes.
One base 250 number as described below is `32` bytes, then `3` to convert to base 26, `3` to index into the lowercase alphabet and `3` to split it on the unused character, `'z'`, for `41` bytes.
So, the lookup for the words not to capitalise:
`“Ð/ṃƇ¬þṄẊƙ€,⁽ṙƬ®OṪJ"ɦ3×kf3Ṙç%ġu’`
was formed like so:
Take those words and join them with a separator:
`s="a an the at by for in of on to up and as but or nor"`
Next label `'a'` as `1`, `'b'` as `2` with the separator as `0`:
```
alpha = ' abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
x = [alpha.index(v) for v in s]
x
[1,0,1,14,0,20,8,5,0,1,20,0,2,25,0,6,15,18,0,9,14,0,15,6,0,15,14,0,20,15,0,21,16,0,1,14,4,0,1,19,0,2,21,20,0,15,18,0,14,15,18]
```
Convert this into a base `26` number (the last letter used is `'y'` plus a digit for the separator, Python code for this is:
`n=sum(v*26**i for i,v in enumerate(x[::-1]))`
Convert that into a base `250` number (using a list for the digits):
```
b=[]
while n:
n,d = divmod(n,250)
b=[d]+b
b
[16,48,220,145,8,32,202,209,162,13,45,142,244,153,9,80,207,75,35,161,52,18,108,103,52,205,24,38,237,118]
```
Lookup the characters at those indexes in jelly's codepage:
```
codepage = '''¡¢£¤¥¦©¬®µ½¿€ÆÇÐÑ×ØŒÞßæçðıȷñ÷øœþ !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR TUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~¶°¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁺⁻⁼⁽⁾ƁƇƊƑƓƘⱮƝƤƬƲȤɓƈɗƒɠɦƙɱɲƥʠɼʂƭʋȥẠḄḌẸḤỊḲḶṂṆỌṚṢṬỤṾẈỴẒȦḂĊḊĖḞĠḢİĿṀṄȮṖṘṠṪẆẊẎŻạḅḍẹḥịḳḷṃṇọṛṣṭụṿẉỵẓȧḃċḋėḟġḣŀṁṅȯṗṙṡṫẇẋẏż«»‘’“”'''
r=''.join(codepage[i-1] for i in b)
r
'Ð/ṃƇ¬þṄẊƙ€,⁽ṙƬ®OṪJ"ɦ3×kf3Ṙç%ġu'
```
(note: since the actual implementation is bijective, if `b` had any `0` digits one would need to carry down first)

```

*Now you can capitalize on your calculator. Great for school :)*
**Main Program, 295 bytes**
Basically, the trick to matching words so all `A` don't become `a` is to enclose with spaces, such as replace `" A "` with `" a "`. This also automatically makes it so that the first and last words stay capitalized, because they do not have a space on both sides and will thus not match any of the words. (Genius, right? And super long because lowercase letters are two bytes each...)

Delivered in function format for byte saving purposes. This is not an especially competitive answer, but it is one that doesn't require `repr()` or `regex` trickery. It is also version-agnostic; it works with Python 2 or 3.
Though it is perhaps a very by-the-rules solution.

Uses the behaviour of `ucwords()` and escapes the relevant words that are surrounded by spaces then deletes the escape characters.

One of my favorite Japt features is its string compression, which uses the [shoco library](http://ed-von-schleck.github.io/shoco/).
You can compress a string by wrapping it in `Oc"{string}"` → `Oc"a an the at by for in of on to up and as but or nor"`
Then decompressing it with backticks or `Od"{compressed string}"` → `Od"a e by f up d ¿t n"`

# Challenge
I'm under attack by the larcenous Midnight Crew and I need to summon the [Catenative Doomsday Dice Cascader](https://www.homestuck.com/extras/20) in order to defend myself. Since I'm low on space, I need the code to be as short as possible.
The algorithm for the Catenative Doomsday Dice Cascader is as follows:
First, the six sided die in the Prime Bubble is rolled, and the result will determine how many iterations of the next step take place.
Start with a six sided die. For as many times as the roll of the Prime Bubble die, multiply the number of sides on the next die by the result of the roll of the current die.
For example, if on your first roll of the six-sided die your roll is 2, then your next die will have 6\*2 = 12 sides.
Your goal is to write a function or program that takes no input and outputs the final result of the last die rolled. Since this is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), the lowest byte count in each language wins!
# Examples
Example #1 (Taken directly from the link above):
```
The Prime Bubble rolls a 6, meaning that the Cascader will iterate six times
#1: We always start with a 6 sided die, and it rolls a 2, so the next die has 6x2=12 sides
#2: The 12 sided die rolls an 8, meaning that the third die has 12x8=96 sides
#3: The 96 sided die rolls a 35, meaning that die 4 has 96x35=3360 sides
#4: The 3360 sided die rolls a 2922, so die 5 has 3360x2922 = 9,817,920 sides
#5: The 9.8 million sided die rolls a 5,101,894, so the final die has 50,089,987,140,480 sides
#6: The 50 trillion sided die rolls a one. Hooray.
Since the last die rolled gave a 1, your function or program should output 1.
```
Example #2
```
The Prime Bubble rolls a 2, meaning that the Cascader will iterate twice.
#1: We always start with a 6 sided die, and it rolls a 4, so the next die has 6x4 = 24 sides
#2: The 24 sided die rolls a 14
Since the last die rolled gave a 14, your function or program should output 14.

*+6 bytes thanks to a logic problem spotted by FrownyFrog*
NOTE: J has no niladic verbs. However, this verb will work the same no matter what argument you give it. In the TIO example, I'm calling it with `0`, but I could have used `99` or `''` just as well.
## how
* `1+` add one to...
* `[:?` a single roll of an n-sided die (sides reading `0` to `n-1`), where the number `n` is determined by...
* `(*1+?)` take the current argument `y` and roll `?` to produce a random number between `0` and `y-1`. `1+` makes that `1` to `y`, inclusive. Finally the `*` creates a J hook, which will multiply that by `y` again.
* `^:` do the above this many times...
* `(?`])` `?` roll the initial argument, which is `6`, to determine how many times to repeat. If we roll `0` (corresponding to a `1` on the Prime Bubble), the argument will pass through unchanged. The `]` indicates that `6`, unchanged, will be the starting value of repeated `(*1+?)` verb that determines the die value for the final roll.
* `@6x` attaches the constant verb `6`, so that we can call it with anything, and the `x` forces J to use extended integer computation which we need for the possibly huge numbers.

`k` keeps track of the current number of faces on the die. Uses the fact that `T` is initialized as `1`.

[Question]
[
Program the shortest code that will calculate the average BPM (Beats per Minute) using 8 data points of time passed. This is my first post, and I haven't seen a question similar to this. Since I am a fan of rhythm games, it would be nice to have a small handy tool to calculate BPM using your own keyboard and your own sense of rhythm (if you have one...)
# Challenge
* All inputs must be singular. (i.e. Only pressing "enter" as "input")
* Your program must take at least 9 inputs. (To create 8 data points of time passed.)
* Your program should output the BPM of the keypresses rounded at 2 decimal points. (i.e. 178.35)
* **Timing starts at first input. Not start of program**
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest answer wins.
# Example Input and Output
Provide at least one example input and output. Make sure they match your own description of what the input should look like.
Input:
```
> [Enter-Key]
# User waits 1 second
... 7 more inputs
> [Enter-Key]
```
Output:
```
> 60
```

Related to: [Make a ;# interpreter](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/121921/2867) and [Generate ;# code](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/122139/2867)
## `;#` - A Whirlwind Guide
This is a simple language with two commands. Its only data structure is an accumulator, which is initialized to 0.
1. **`;`** Increment the accumulator
2. **`#`** Calculate the value of the accumulator modulo 127, and print the corresponding ASCII character. Then, reset the accumulator to 0.
The source code may contain additional characters (printable ASCII + whitespace), but these are treated as comments and have no effect on program execution.
## Challenge
Since most computers do not come with `;#` preinstalled, it would be very useful to have a tool that can convert `;#` code into a different language. In this challenge, you shall write a program to accomplish this.
## Input
Some `;#` source code, taken via argument or STDIN. This source code may contain (comment) characters other than `;` or `#`.
## Output
Code, in the same language as your submission, which, when executed, prints/returns the same string as the original `;#` code. This resultant code may output a trailing newline after the target string, if that is more convenient for your language.
## Notes
One thing to look out for is escape sequences, such as code that prints backslashes or prints quote marks. Also look out for `;#` code that could contain things that look like keywords or commands in your language.
## Additional restrictions
All programs must terminate (I normally consider this a default, but someone asked about it so I'm stating it here).
## Examples
```
input: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;#;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;#
output (python): print(";#")
input: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;#
output (element): \'`

The first part of the output is essentially done by the input, using `input('print')`. We split the input on hashtags and discard the last element. We print the representation of **ord(y%127)**, where **y** is the number of occurrences of the semicolon. We append the `,` at the end of the print to make sure that this does not print a newline.

Generating whitespace in whitespace is not the most efficient thing in the world. Generating any kind of dynamic code requires significant bit-twiddling which, in a language without bitwise operations, would cause the code size to explode. Therefore, this program does not attempt to do something smart, instead opting for just translating the source program one to one. It disassembles to the following:
```

call S

Explanation:
```
Í;û127} ' Delete runs of 127 `;`s (mod 127)
éi ' Insert an `i` in front of input
A<C-v><esc>0<esc> ' Append <esc>0 to input
Í#/<C-v><C-v>0 ' Replace all `#` with `<C-v>0`
ò ' Recursively
/; ' Go to the next `;`
<C-a> ' Increment the next number come across
```
In V, in insert mode, any ASCII character can be inserted by code by using `<C-v><Code>`. The V code replaces all `#` with `<C-v>0`, where the zero is a pseudo-accumulator per `#`. Each `#` resets the accumulator to 0 so having one per works out fine. Then the code does an increment for each semicolon found, which just increments the next number it finds, which would be the next accumulator. The `0` is appended to the end so that the instruction doesn't fail for `;`s without a following `#`.

Thanks to ovs for many many bytes!
## Explanation
This program transpiles the #; code by splitting on #s (`s.split('#')[:-1]`), counting the number of semicolons in each chunk mod 127 (`x.count(';')%127for x in ...`), and converting that into the respective ASCII character (`chr(...)`). That list is then concatenated (`''.join(...)`), converted into a Python representation of the string (the backticks) and inserted into a skeleton Python program for printing strings (`"print"+...`).

```
ṣ”#Ṗċ€”;%127p”Ọ
```
A full program printing equivalent Jelly code (as a monadic link it returns a list of lists of mixed types).
The first example is at **[Try it online!](https://tio.run/##y0rNyan8///hzsWPGuYqP9w57Uj3o6Y1QLa1qqGReQGQ8XB3z////60JgOT83NzUvBI8KpStCYMQfxd/K@XiktK0NAA "Jelly – Try It Online")** which yields [this program](https://tio.run/nexus/jelly#@29q@XB3j7EpkPj/HwA "Jelly – Try It Online").
### How?
Counts up the `;`s in each run between `#`s takes each modulo 127 and appends a cast to ordinal instruction, the monadic `Ọ` atom, after each.
Jelly implicitly pipes each value to STDOUT as it runs through a program like that i.e. `72Ọ101Ọ108Ọ108Ọ111Ọ44Ọ32Ọ119Ọ111Ọ114Ọ108Ọ100Ọ33Ọ` would print `Hello, world!`.
```
ṣ”#Ṗċ€”;%127p”Ọ - Main link: list of characters
”# - literal '#'
ṣ - split the result at #s
Ṗ - pop (remove the last result, list of trailing non-# characters)
”; - literal ';'
ċ€ - count for €ach
%127 - modulo 127 (vectorises)
”Ọ - literal 'Ọ' (Jelly's cast to ordinal monadic atom)
p - Cartesian product - making a list of lists like [[72,'Ọ'],[101,'Ọ'],...]
- implicit print (this smashes, printing something like: 72Ọ101Ọ...)
```
A note regarding input: Jelly can take string input in Python format (it will first attempt to evaluate input as Python code). The empty program may be input as `""`, and the hash-only programs as `"#"`, `"##"`, etc. Escape sequences are required for input containing backslashes and quotes.

## Explained
```
"print%q"%gsub(a,".-#",#char(len(gsub(e,"[^;]",""))%128))
gsub(a,".-#", ) -- Replace all groups of characters followed by a # in the input with...
gsub(e,"[^;]","") -- Remove all non-; characters, removing comments
len( ) -- Effectively count all ; in the group
char( %128) -- Modulo 128, convert to a char.
# -- As a function. Effectively runs the ;# code.
"print%q"% -- returns a string consisting of print followed by the string-formatted ;# code.

[Question]
[
Given two integers greater than one, A and B, output four mathematical expressions in this order:
1. The plain expression A^B (A to the power B). e.g. if A = 2 and B = 3, `2^3`.
2. The expansion of A^B in terms of repeated multiplications of A. e.g. `2*2*2`.
3. The expansion of A^B in terms of repeated additions of A. e.g. `2+2+2+2`.
4. The expansion of A^B in terms of repeated additions of 1. e.g. `1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1`.
The four expressions may be output in any reasonable way as long as they are in order and clearly distinct. For example, you might put them in a list, or print them on separate lines
```
2^3
2*2*2
2+2+2+2
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1
```
or perhaps on one line separated by equals signs:
```
2^3=2*2*2=2+2+2+2=1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1
```
Spaces may be inserted next to math operators so
```
2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
```
would be equally valid output when A = 2 and B = 3.
You may use symbols alternative to `^`, `*`, and `+`, but *only if* the new symbols are more idiomatic for your language (e.g. `**` instead of `^` in Python).
You may assume that A and B are sufficiently small so that A^B will not overflow your language's default integer type (given that that type has a reasonable maximum, 255 at least).
**The shortest code in bytes wins.**

lambda a,b:f"{a}^{b}={a}{f'*{a}'*~-b}={a}{f'+{a}'*~-a**~-b}=1"+"+1"*~-a**b
```
*online ide anyone?*
### How?
This is an unnamed function taking the two integer inputs `a` and `b` each greater than `0` (even though the specification is only for those greater than `1`).
In Python 3.6 a new feature is available, namely [formatted string literals](https://docs.python.org/3.6/reference/lexical_analysis.html#f-strings) or "f-strings". These allow run-time evaluated string construction. A leading `f` (or `F`) creates such a construct, e.g. `f"blah"` or `f'blah'`. Inside an f-string anything between a pair of braces, `{...}`, is an expression to be evaluated.
As such `f"{a}^{b}={a}{f'*{a}'*~-b}={a}{f'+{a}'*~-a**~-b}=1"` evaluates each of `a`, `b`, `a`, `f'*{a}'*~-b`, `a`, and `f'+{a}'*~-a**~-b}` as expressions, keeping the `^`, `=`, `=`, and `=1` as strings,all of which gets concatenated together.
The `a` and `b` expressions evaluate to the representations of `a` and `b` respectively.
The `f'*{a}'` and `f'+{a}'` in turn are also f-strings inside these expressions, which evaluate to `a` with a leading `'*'` and a leading `'+'` respectively
To create the required number of `a`s and operations for the `*` and `+` portions note that there will be `b` `a`s multiplied together and `a**(b-1)` `a`s added together. Each case then requires one less operator sign than the number of `a`s. So we can repeat the f-strings `f'*{a}`and `f'+{a}'` (using `*`) as many times as there are operators and prepend each with a single `a`. `(b-1)` is `~-b` and `(a**(b-1))-1` is `~-a**~-b`.
The same is done for the `1`s using `(a**b)-1` being `~-**b`, but we don't need the overhead of f-strings since `1` is constant, so a standard string repeated is concatenated with `+`.

This is the cube with the parts that are irrelevant to the first step removed. The question mark shows the no-ops the IP will visit, to make its path more clear.
```
IO:'^o;IO:r*(; # Explanation
I # Push the first input (A)
O # output that
: # duplicate it
'^ # Push the character "^"
o # output that
; # pop it from the stack
I # Push the second input (B)
O # output that
: # duplicate
r # rotate top 3 elements
* # Push the product of the top two elements
( # decrease it by one
; # pop it from the stack (making the last
# two operations useless, but doing it
# this way saves 10B)
```
Now, the stack looks like this: `A, B, A, B`
# Step 2 (prepare for print loop)
The print loop takes 3 arguments (the top 3 elements on the stack): `P`, `Q` and `R`. `P` is the amount of repetitions, `Q` is the separator (character code) and `R` is the number to repeat. Luckily, the loop also takes care of the requirement that the resulting string should end in `R`, not `Q`.
We want to repeat `A*` exactly `B` times, so the separator is `*`. Note that the stack starts as `A, B, A, B`. Once again, I removed all irrelevant instructions. The IP start at the `S` pointing north.

'*rr # Explanation
'* # Push * (Stack: A, B, A, B, *)

The stack is now `A, B, B, *, A`.
# Step 3/6/8 (the print loop)
## Concept
```
E . . . . .
? r s o s u
\ ( r r O <
. . . . . S
```
The IP enters the loop through `S`, pointing north, and exits the loop at `E`, pointing north again. For this explanation, the stack is set to `[..., A, B, C]`. The following instructions are executed. Note that the IP can't leave the loop before the question mark, so the first four instructions will always be executed.
```
Orr(?rsos # Explanation
O # Output `C`
rr # Rotate top three elements twice (Stack: [..., B, C, A])
( # Decrease A by one (Stack: [..., B, C, A-1])
? # If top of stack (A) > 0:
r # Rotate top of stack (Stack: [..., A-1, B, C])
s # Swap top elements (Stack: [..., A-1, C, B])
o # Output top of stack (B) as character code
s # Swap top elements (Stack: [..., A-1, B, C]
#
# ... and repeat ...
```
## Implementation
Here's the cube again, with the irrelevant parts removed. The IP starts at `S`, pointing east.
```
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
? r s o s
\ ( r r O
. . . . . S ' = o ; ^ u . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
```
As you can see, the IP comes across four instructions before it enters the loop. Since the character code is removed again, we reach the loop with the exact same stack as we entered this part.
```
'=o; # Explanation
'= # Push =
o # Output
; # Pop from stack
```
Inside the loop, the explanation above holds.
# Step 4 (differentiating the IPs)
Since we use the above loop multiple times, and they all cause the IP to end up in the same spot, we have to differentiate between multiple runs. First, we can distinguish between the separator (first run has a `*`, whereas runs two and three have a `+` as separator). We can differentiate between runs 2 and 3 by checking the value of the number that is repeated. If that is one, the program should terminate.
## First comparison
Here's what it looks like on the cube. The IP starts at S and points north. The stack contains `[..., * or +, A or 1, 0]`. The number 1 shows where the IP will end up if this is the first loop (pointing north) and the number 2 shows where the IP will end up if this is the second (or third) loop (pointing east).

;s'+-? # Explanation
; # Delete top element (0)
s # Swap the top two elements (Stack: 1/A, */+)
'+ # Push the character code of +
- # Subtract the top two elements and push
# that to the stack (Stack: 1/A, */+, +, (*/+)-+)
? # Changes the direction based on the top
# item on the stack. If it's 0 (if (*/+) == +)
# the IP continues going right, otherwise, it
# turns and continues going north.
```
If the IP now is at `1`, the stack is `[A, *, +, -1]`. Otherwise, the stack is `[A or 1, +, +, 0]`. As you can see, there still is an unknown in the stack of the second case, so we have to do another comparison.
## Second comparison
Because the IP has gone through step 5, the stack looks like this: `[A^(B-1) or nothing, A or 1, +, +, 0]`. If the first element is `nothing`, the second element is `1`, and the reverse holds too. The cube looks like this, with the IP starting at S and pointing east. If this is the second loop, the IP ends up at `E`, pointing west. Otherwise, the program hits the `@` and terminates.

The instructions executed that don't do anything to the control flow are listed below.
```
;;q*q(!@
;; # Delete top two elements (Stack [A^(B-1)/null, A/1, +])
q # Send top element to the bottom (Stack [+, A^(B-1)/0, A/1])
* # Push product of top two elements
# (Stack [+, A^(B-1)/0, A/1, A^B/0])
q # Send top element to the bottom
# (Stack [A^B/0, +, A^(B-1)/0, A/1])
( # Decrease the top element by 1
# (Stack [A^B/0, +, A^(B-1)/0, (A-1)/0])
! # If (top element == 0):
@ # Stop program
```
The stack is now `[A^B, +, A^(B-1), A-1]`, provided the program didn't terminate.
# Step 5 (preparing for "A+" (repeat A^(B-1)))
Sadly, Cubix doesn't have a power operator, so we need another loop. However, we need to clean up the stack first, which now contains `[B, A, *, +, -1]`.
## Cleaning up
Here's the cube again. As usual, the IP starts at S (pointing north), and ends at E, pointing west.
```

;; # Explanation
;; # Remove top 2 elements (Stack: [B, A, *])
```
## Calculating A^(B-1)
Another loop which works roughly the same as the print loop, but it's a bit more compact. The IP starts at `S`, pointing west, with stack `[B, A, *]`. The IP exits at `E` pointing north.
```
. . . . .

```
The loop body is the following.
```
;s(?s*s # Explanation
; # Pop top element.
s # Shift top elements.
( # Decrease top element by one
? # If not 0:
s # Shift top elements again
* # Multiply
s # Shift back
#
# ... and repeat ...
```
The resulting stack is `[A, A^(B-1), 0]`.
## Cleaning up the stack (again)
Now we need to get to the print loop again, with the top of the stack containing `[..., A^(B-1), +, A]`. To do this, we execute the following. Here's the cube again,
```
. . ^ ? :
. . . . .

qq # Send top two elements to the bottom

'+ # Push +
# (Stack: [A^(B-1), A^(B-1), A, +])
s # Swap top two elements
# (Stack: [A^(B-1), A^(B-1), +, A])
```
# Step 7 (preparing for last loop)
The stack is now `[A^B, +, A^(B-1), A-1]`, the IP starts at `S`, going west, and ends at `E`, going right.
```

## Explanation
First expression:
```
XH'^'i'='XJ
XH % implicitly take input A, save it to clipboard H
'^' % push literal '^'
i % take input B
'=' % push literal '='
XJ % copy '=' to clipboard J, we'll use this twice more so it's worth it
```
Second expression:
```
2G:"H'*']xJ
2G % paste the second input (B) again
:" % do the following B times
H % paste A from clipboard H
'*' % push literal '*'
] % end loop
x % delete the final element (at the moment we have a trailing *)
J % paste '=' from clipboard J
```
Third expression:
```
&Gq^:"H'+']xJ
&G % paste all of the input, ie push A and B
q % decrement B
^ % power, giving A^(B-1)
:" % do the following A^(B-1) times
H % paste A from clipboard H
'+' % push literal '+'
] % end loop
x % delete the final element (at the moment we have a trailing +)
J % paste '=' from clipboard J
```
Fourth expression:
```
&G^:"1'+']x
&G % paste all of the input, ie push A and B
^ % power, giving A^B
:" % do the following A^B times
1 % push 1
'+' % push '+'
] % end loop
x % delete the final element (at the moment we have a trailing +)
% (implicit) convert all to string and display

# Notes
1. The two inputs must be chosen in such a way, that `A**B` does not exceed `255`. This is because brainfuck can only store values of one byte.
2. If one input is bigger than 9, use the next ASCII character. `10` becomes `:`, `11` becomes `;` etc. This is because Brainfuck can only take inputs of one byte.

### Explanation
`Ya**b` is setup code: yank `a**b` into the `y` variable. After that, we have a list (in `[]`) containing our four expressions:
* `gJ'^`: take full ar`g`list (here, a list containing `a` and `b`) and `J`oin it on `^`

### Explanation
```
(load library)
```
We need two functions from the standard library: `list` and `*`.
```
(d W(q((_ N S #)(i(e # 1)(c N _)(W(c S(c N _))N S(s # 1))))))
```
Define a function `W` (short for "weave") that takes an accumulator `_`, a number `N`, a symbol `S`, and a count `#`. We will use this function to generate most our expressions: for example, `(W () 2 (q +) 3)` will result in `(2 + 2 + 2)`.
If the count is 1 `(e # 1)`, then cons the number to the front of the accumulator `(c N _)` and return that. Otherwise, recurse:
* New accumulator is `(c S(c N _))`: the symbol and the number cons'd to the front of the previous accumulator;
* `N` and `S` are the same;
* New count is `(s # 1)`: count - 1.
The accumulator idiom is needed to achieve [proper tail recursion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_call), preventing a recursion depth error. (This change is responsible for the +8 to the byte count. The `13^2` case didn't work in the previous version.)
```
(d ^(q((x y)(i y(*(^ x(s y 1))x)1))))
```
Unfortunately, the library has no exponentiation function at this time, so we have to define one. `^` takes `x` and `y`. If `y` is truthy (nonzero), we recurse with `y-1` (`(s y 1)`) and multiply the result by `x`. Otherwise, `y` is zero and we return `1`.
(Note: This function does *not* use proper tail recursion. I assume that the exponents will be small enough that it won't matter. Some experimenting on TIO indicated a maximum exponent of 325, which I would argue should be sufficient for this question. If the OP disagrees, I will change it.)
```
(d X(q((A B)(list(list A(q ^)B)(W()A(q *)B)(W()A(q +)(^ A(s B 1)))(W()1(q +)(^ A B))))))
```
Finally, the function we're interested in, `X`, takes `A` and `B` and returns a list of four items:
* `(list A(q ^)B)`: a list containing `A`, a literal `^`, and `B`;
* `(W()A(q *)B)`: call `W` to get a list of `B` copies of `A`, interwoven with literal `*`;
* `(W()A(q +)(^ A(s B 1)))`: call `W` to get a list of `A^(B-1)` copies of `A`, interwoven with literal `+`;
* `(W()1(q +)(^ A B))`: call `W` to get a list of `A^B` copies of `1`, interwoven with literal `+`.

```
Anonymous function that outputs the required, well, outputs, line-by-line. This solution makes extensive use of the `switch` function.
The `switch` function takes an expression (here, `s`) that evaluates to a number or a character string (see `?switch`), followed by the alernatives corresponding to `s`. If an alternative is missing (e.g. `switch(s, a=, b= "PPCG")`, the next non-missing alternative is evaluated (in the example, `s="a"` outputs `"PPCG"`).
The `rep` functions repeats (replicates, actually) its first argument the number of times indicated in the second argument.
`cat`, to finish, concatenate and prints the objects, with a separator that can be chosen with the `sep =` argument. The second `cat` function is here for the line-break.
**Ungolfed:**
```
f=function(A,B)
for(s in letters[1:4]){
cat(
rep(switch(s, d = 1, a = c(A,B), b =, c = A),
switch(s, a = 1, b = B, c = A^B/A, d = A^B)),
sep=switch(s,a = "^", b = "*", d =, c = "+"))
cat("\n")
}

[Question]

Today I realised that I often like to define sections in my code like so:
```
####################
# Helper Functions #
####################
```
But that it's tedious to do. Assuming I have a line such as this:
```
# Helper Functions #
```
What is the shortest set of `vim` keystrokes to wrap it in a `#`? Shift does **not** count as a keystroke in this challenge.
Test cases:
```
Input: "#test test test#"
Output:
################
#test test test#
################
Input: "#this is a nice block comment#"
Output:
##############################
#this is a nice block comment#

Input: "# s p a c e s must be supported a l s o#"
Output:
########################################
# s p a c e s must be supported a l s o#

YpVkr#p
Yp - duplicate current line, leaving the cursor at the lower of the two
V - enter visual line mode
k - go up and select both lines
r# - replace every selected character with #. Leaves visual mode and leaves cursor at the upper line.
p - put the yanked line (the original) on the next line.
```
(thanks to doorknob for reminding Y=yy)

Yp
:s/./#/g
<cr>
YkP
```
The straight-forward approach: duplicate the line, replace all characters with `#`, copy the the result and paste it above.
I'm counting `P` and `:` as one keystroke each (instead of two for `Shift`+`p` or `Shift`+`;`). That being said, the question specifies to count "commands", where I'm not sure how to count the substitution.

I tried to add optimizations per section. The optimized string compressor compresses this to 730 bytes (which *should* be the best possible just using basic Jelly syntactical constructs rather than any actual methods), so it appears I have done something.
(Fun fact: after I posted this answer, Chrome started suggesting translating this page to Vietnamese :P)

The desired output uses all but five printable ASCII characters, but fortunately I could only find five strings with enough repetition to be worth compressing. There are also four characters repeated more than three times in a a row; these are run length encoded. Would be 1 byte longer in Retina 0.8.2 as the four run length encodings cost an extra byte each but it's then no longer necessary to quote the three desired `*`s.

[Question]
[
The six main [cast members](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Friends_characters#Main_characters) of the American sitcom [*Friends*](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108778/) all [agreed that they would be paid the same salary](http://www.factfiend.com/cast-friends-took-pay-cut-theyd-paid-amount/) throughout the run of the series (after season 2, at least). But that doesn't mean that they all had the same amount of air time or that they all interacted on screen with each other the same amount.
In this challenge, you'll write a program that could help determine which *Friends* friends were *really* the best.
# Setup
Consider watching an episode or scene of *Friends* and noting down exactly who is on screen during each camera shot and for how long.
We'll abbreviate each character's name:
* `C` is for [Chandler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandler_Bing)
* `J` is for [Joey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Tribbiani)
* `M` is for [Monica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Geller)
* `P` is for [Phoebe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebe_Buffay)
* `R` is for [Rachel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Green)
* `S` is for [Ross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Geller)
Then for every camera shot (or every time a character enters/exits the shot), we'll list who was on screen. For example:
```
504 CRS
200 J
345 MP
980
2000 CJMPRS
```
This is saying that:
* For 504ms, Chandler, Rachel, and Ross were on screen.
* Then for 200ms, Joey was.
* Then for 345ms, Monica and Phoebe were.
* Then for 980ms, none of the 6 main characters were on screen.
* Then for 2 seconds, all of them were.
(This is not from an actual clip, I made it up.)
Note that the following would be equivalent:
```
504 CRS
1 J
199 J
345 MP
980
2000 CJMPRS
```
To analyze which combinations of characters had the most screen time, we look at all 64 possible subsets of the 6 characters and total up the screen time they had. If everyone in a subset appears on screen during a camera shot, **even if there are more characters than just the ones in the subset**, the time for that camera shot is added to that subset's total screen time.
There's an exception for the empty subset - only the scenes with none of the 6 main characters are counted.
So the analysis of the example above would be:
```
980
2504 C
2200 J
2345 M
2345 P
2504 R
2504 S
2000 CJ
2000 CM
2000 CP
2504 CR
2504 CS
2000 JM
2000 JP
2000 JR
2000 JS
2345 MP
2000 MR
2000 MS
2000 PR
2000 PS
2504 RS
2000 CJM
2000 CJP
2000 CJR
2000 CJS
2000 CMP
2000 CMR
2000 CMS
2000 CPR
2000 CPS

2000 CJMPS
2000 CJMRS
2000 CJPRS
2000 CMPRS
2000 JMPRS
2000 CJMPRS
```
We can see that `J` (just Joey) had 2200ms of screen time because he had 200 by himself and 2000 with everyone.
# Challenge
Write a program that takes in a string or text file such as
```
504 CRS
200 J
345 MP
980
2000 CJMPRS
```
where each line has the form `[time in ms] [characters on screen]`, and outputs the total amount of time that each of the 64 subsets of the 6 characters spent on the screen, where each line has the form `[total time in ms for subset] [characters in subset]` (just as above).
The input can be taken as a string to stdin, the command line, or a function, or it can be the name of a text file that contains the data.
* The milliseconds numbers will always be positive integers.
* The character letters will always be in the order `CJMPRS` (alphabetical).
* You can optionally assume there is a trailing space when there are no characters in the scene (e.g. `980` ).
* You can optionally assume there is a trailing newline.
* The input will have at least 1 line and may have arbitrarily many.
The output should be printed or returned or written to another text file as a 64 line string.
* The lines may be in any order.
* The character letters do not need to be in the `CJMPRS` order.
* Subsets with 0ms total time **do** need to be listed.
* There may optionally be a trailing space after the empty subset total.
* There may optionally be a trailing newline.
(This problem can of course be generalized to more characters, but we'll stick with the 6 `CJMPRS` *Friends* characters.)
**The shortest code in bytes wins.**
*Note that I actually enjoy Friends and don't think some characters are more important than the others. The statistics would be interesting though.* ;)

`f` is a function that takes the input, as a single multi-line string, and returns the multi-line output as single string. Probably plenty left to golf here.

y create all subsets
V for loop, N iterates over ^:
.z all input lines
cR\ split each line at spaces
f filter for lines T, which satisfy:
? N if N != "":
q@eTNN intersection(T[1],N) == N
else:
!eT T[1] == ""
m map each of the remaining d to:
vhd eval(d[0]) (extract times)
s sum

x(A,[M|T]):-y(M,A,0,R),atom_codes(S,M),writef("%t %w\n",[R,S]),(T=[];x(A,T)).
y(_,[],R,R).
y(M,[[A,B]|T],R,Z):-subset(M,B),S is R+A,y(M,T,S,Z);y(M,T,R,Z).
```
This expects to be run as:
```
a("504 CRS
200 J
345 MP
980
2000 CJMPRS").
```
Note that you might need to replace every ``` to `"` and every `"` to `'` if you have an old version of SWI-Prolog.
I could shave off 100+ bytes if I didn't have to use a String as an input.

Different approach than [@MtnViewMark's answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/52721/34531): For all combinations `c` of the characters find the lines of the input string where the difference of `c` and the list from the lines `y` is empty (take care of the special case where no character is on screen (e.g. `980`) -> `c` must be not empty or `c == y`). Extract the number and sum.

[Question]
[
A rotation of a string is made by splitting a string into two pieces and reversing their order, for example `"world!Hello, "` is a rotation of `"Hello, world!"`. It is possible to create programs that can be rotated to form a different, but still valid program. Consider this example in python:
```
print ")import sys; sys.stdout.write("
```
It can be rotated to form
```
import sys; sys.stdout.write("print ")
```
Which is itself a valid python program.
Your challenge is to write a program that outputs a rotation of itself, which when run will output the original program. Bonus points to any entry with a cycle length greater than two!
This is code golf, the exact scoring will be: (length of code)/(cycle length - 1).
EDIT: We have a winner (unless someone else is able to beat a score of 4)! I'd still be very interested to see any other solutions, whether they're contenders or not.

I'm using Dyalog APL here. The number of cycles can be increased by one by adding `0` (0 followed by a space) to the end of the expression and to the end of the string (before `'''`). The cycle length is `(# 0's) + 1`, and the length of the expression is `150 + 4*(cycle length))`. Assuming we continue adding zeros forever, the score is `Limit[(150 + 4*n)/(n - 1), n -> Infinity] = 4`, where `n` is the cycle length.
Here's an example with cycle length=6:

Depending on the implementation, one point of failure could be when the integer prefixed to the string is too large. Theoretically, though, we can add a cycle by adding two characters - a `1` at the end of the string (before `'''`) and a `1` at the end of the entire line.

```
My APL implementation doesn't have unlimited precision integers by default, so the integer is converted to a float when it becomes too large, causing the output to be wrong. So this one is the most finicky, but theoretically (either by hand or with a different APL interpreter), it should have a score of 1. Just add a `1` to the end of the expression, and you get another cycle.
## Overview (with a shorter quine)
I'm going to give an overview of the first version, because I think it's probably the easiest to comprehend. Before tackling that version, however, we're going to consider a simple [quine in APL](http://www.nyx.net/~gthompso/self_apl.txt):
```
1⌽22⍴11⍴'''1⌽22⍴11⍴'''
```
I've found that one of the best ways to understand some APL expressions is to look at the output throughout the cascade of operators/functions. All operators and functions in APL are right-associative and have the same precedence, so here is is, from right to left:
* `'''1⌽22⍴11⍴'''`: This is just a string literal (a list of characters). `''` is the APL way of escaping single quote marks. Output: `'1⌽22⍴11⍴'`.
* `11⍴'''1⌽22⍴11⍴'''`: Here, we reshape (`⍴`) the string to be of length `11`. Because the string's length is under 11, it is repeated (i.e., `5⍴'abc'` would yield `'abcab'`). Output: `'1⌽22⍴11⍴''`. So we now have two quotation marks at the end - we're getting somewhere!
* `22⍴11⍴'''1⌽22⍴11⍴'''`: Similarly, we now reshape our previous output to be of length `22`. Output: `'1⌽22⍴11⍴'''1⌽22⍴11⍴''`. We're almost there - we just need to move the first single quote to the end.
* `1⌽22⍴11⍴'''1⌽22⍴11⍴'''`: Here, we rotate (`⌽`) the list of characters by `1`. This moves the first character of the string to the end. As another example, `2⌽'abcdef'` returns `'cdefab'`. Output: `1⌽22⍴11⍴'''1⌽22⍴11⍴'''`.
## The rotating quine
That short quine is the main basis for our rotating quine. Now, with that in mind, let's take a look at our quine:
```
'''{(((3+z)×^/⍵)-5+2×+/+/¨⍺=0)⌽(2×77+z)⍴(77+z←2×+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵)⍴⊃,/(~^/¨⍺=0)/⍺}1 0 '''{(((3+z)×^/⍵)-5+2×+/+/¨⍺=0)⌽(2×77+z)⍴(77+z←2×+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵)⍴⊃,/(~^/¨⍺=0)/⍺}1 0
```
`{ ... }` defines an unnamed function, which is where we'll be doing the work. Note that functions in APL take a right argument, denoted by `⍵`, and an optional left argument, denoted by `⍺` (think infix). We want to feed this function both our quine string and something to aid us in creating an arbitrary number of cycles. To make things easier on ourselves (and anyone wanting to add cycles), we make the quine string the left argument. The right argument, then, is where we put our list of cycles. 2 or more items separated by a space creates a list, so in this example, we have 2-element list consisting of a `1` and a `0`.
We can see that the function looks similar to the quine from before. We have the same `...⌽...⍴...⍴...` form from before. So that's good - we at least understand that much! Let's delve deeper into the ellipses, starting with everything after the last `⍴`: `⊃,/(~^/¨⍺=0)/⍺`.
* As you can see by looking at the example above, we prefix the string with the 0's from the right-hand side, adding one with each iteration; but we don't care about those right now. We just want the string!
* First, consider what's in the parentheses. (They group like in most other languages, by the way.)
+ `⍺=0` returns a list, in this case, with the same shape as `⍺`, where each element in `⍺` is replaced by a `1` if it is equal to `0`, and a `0` otherwise. This is performed recursively; so if we have a list of a list of a list of characters, the individual characters will be tested against 0, and you will get back a list of a list of a list of binary values.
+ So if `⍺` consists of just our string, we get back a list of 0's. Otherwise, our left argument has some 0's prefixed to it (e.g., `0 0 0 'quinestring'`), so it is a list consisting of 0's and another list, our string. Then our output looks like `1 1 1 <sub-list of zeros>`.
+ `^/¨⍺=0`: We apply the derived function `^/`, which reduces (`/`) using the logical AND (`^`) function, to each (`¨`) element of `⍺=0`. This is to flatten the sub-list of zeros so that we can consider the quine string to be one binary value. Considering the previous example, the output would be `1 1 1 0`.
+ `~`: We binary NOT each of the values from before (e.g., returning `0 0 0 1`).
* `(~^/¨⍺=0)/⍺`: For each element in `⍺`, we replicate (`/`) it the number of times given by the corresponding element in the left argument. This eliminates all of the 0's, leaving us only with our quine string.
* `⊃,/` is some necessary paperwork to ensure that we get back a flattened list of characters, by reducing the result with the concatenation function (`,`). If the input is already a flattened list (i.e., the left argument to our main function is only the string), we get a 1-element list containing that list. In the other case, when we have a list consisting of a sub-list for the string, we get the same thing back (a list with a sub-list). We then unpack this (`⊃`), giving us only the first element of the list (i.e., the sub-list of characters). This might seem unnecessary, but otherwise we would then be trying to reshape a 1-element list!
Next, we look at the length given for the first reshape, within the parentheses:
* `⍺,⍵`: We concatenate the right argument to the first argument
* `⊃,/⍺,⍵`: Same as before - flatten the list.
* `+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵`: Add up the number of zeros in the list by reducing (`/`) using the addition (`+`) function.
* `2×+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵`: Multiply that number by two.
* `z←2×+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵`: Assign (`←`) the result to a variable, `z`. To recap, `z` is now twice the number of zeros found in both the left and right arguments.
* `77+z←2×+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵`: We then add `77`, for the characters in the quine string, ignoring everything after the space following `1`. Like in the initial quine example, we add 1 to the length of the string to get another single quote.
* The output of this reshape, in this example, is: `'{(((3+z)×^/⍵)-5+2×+/+/¨⍺=0)⌽(2×77+z)⍴(77+z←2×+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵)⍴⊃,/(~^/¨⍺=0)/⍺}1 0 ''`
The argument to the reshape that follows is simple and mirrors the short quine (2 times the length for the first reshape). Our output now is:
```
'{(((3+z)×^/⍵)-5+2×+/+/¨⍺=0)⌽(2×77+z)⍴(77+z←2×+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵)⍴⊃,/(~^/¨⍺=0)/⍺}1 0 '''{(((3+z)×^/⍵)-5+2×+/+/¨⍺=0)⌽(2×77+z)⍴(77+z←2×+/0=⊃,/⍺,⍵)⍴⊃,/(~^/¨⍺=0)/⍺}1 0 ''
```
Now for the final step, where we calculate how much to rotate the output string:
* As you can see by looking at the previous output, we want to rotate it back (a negative amount) to bring the 2 final quotes to the beginning. Because we want a `0` (and another space) to move to the beginning as well, we want to rotate it an additional 3 characters back.
* `+/+/¨⍺=0`: Add up the number of zeros in the *left* argument. The first (from the right) `+/¨` sums each element's count (i.e., a sublist or just an integer), and the second `+/` gives us the sum of that resulting list.
* `5+2×+/+/¨⍺=0`: Multiply by two (to rotate the spaces as well), and add 5 (the result we came up with before).
* Now, we subtract the previous value from the left argument to `-` to handle the case when we hit the end of our cycle:
+ `(3+z)×^/⍵`: AND all of the elements in the right argument together to see if we've reached our end (`1`), and multiply that by `3+z`.
And we're done!

## GolfScript, 10046 / 9999 ≈ 1.0047 (asymptotic score 1)
OK, I'm going to try and beat [D C's APL entry](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/5092) with this:
```
{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9999*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~
```
The code above is *not* the actual quine — I felt that posting a 10kB one-liner would not be a very good idea. Rather, running the code above once produces the actual 10046-char GolfScript program, which, when iterated as specified in the question, generates 9999 rotations of itself and, finally, itself again.
The length of the cycle (and the program) can be adjusted by changing the constant `9999`. For brevity and convenience, I'll show what the iterated output looks like if the constant is reduced to `9`:
```
111111111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~
11111111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~1
1111111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~11
111111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~111
11111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~1111
1111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~11111
111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~111111
11{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~1111111
1{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~11111111
{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~111111111
111111111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~
11111111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~1
1111111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~11
111111{\''+.,{(;\'.~1'}{'1'9*@'.~']puts:puts}if}.~111
etc.
```
As the constant `9999` is increased, the ratio of the program length and cycle length (minus one) tends to one.
I'm pretty sure that *this* solution can't be beaten, at least not asymptotically. ;-)
### How does it work?
GolfScript is a pretty easy language to write quines in, since basically any number literal acts as a quine: for example, the GolfScript program `12345` outputs — you guessed it — `12345`. Also, concatenating multiple quines typically produces a quine. Thus, I could use a simple number like `11111...111` as the repetitive part of my cyclic quine.
However, to get the quine to actually cycle, we need to carry and execute a non-trivial "payload". The simplest GolfScript quine I could think of that can do that is the following:
```
{PAYLOAD'.~'}.~
```
So my plan was to prefix a quine like that with a repetitive numeric constant, and use a payload that chops one digit off the number and moves it to the end of the program. If the program detects that there *is* no numeric constant in front of it (in which case the value below it on the stack will be an empty string, assuming there no input), it will instead prepend a fixed-length numeric constant in front of itself.
There's one additional wrinkle, though — when "wrapping around", the payload must also suppress the output of the number *after* itself. Normally, when a GolfScript program ends, all values on the stack are automatically printed, which would be a problem here.
However, there turns out to be an (AFAIK) undocumented way to avoid that: the interpreter actually calls the predefined function `puts` to do the printing, so redefining that function as a no-op suppresses the automatic output. Of course, this also means that we must first call `puts` ourselves to print the part of the stack we *want* printed.
The final code looks pretty messy (even for GolfScript), but at least it works. I suspect there may be some clever ways I haven't yet thought of to shave a few chars off the payload, but for this version I was mainly just focusing on the asymptotic score.

Unfortunately, I had to fix a bug in the interpreter to make this work, so this doesn't work on TIO.
## Explanation
This is a straightforward extension of my solution to [Rotation-safe quine](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/121522/8478). Since that solution is a proper, payload-capable quine for *every* rotation of the source code, we can simply shift the source by one character before printing to cycle through all possible rotations. So this solution has byte count = cycle length.
The code we're writing into the grid to do so is
```
@o&~,.^'h%?t"

The only difference to the other quine is that we pull up the 94th character to the top of the stack, before printing everything.
We can arbitrarily increase the byte count and cycle length by adding no-ops anywhere in the program, which lets the score tend arbitrarily close to 1.

## How it works :
We run the for loop twice.
* The first time we initialize the variable `n` to a power of 10 and
* The second time we print our quine dividing `n` by 10 and prepending a `0` in front of the code.
When `n` is equals to `1`, we set `n` to the initial power of 10 an we remove the prepending `0`
By adjusting the number of `0` in the original program, modifying `len(str(n))%10` by `len(str(n))%< x >` and `n//10 or 10**9` by `n//10 or 10**< x-1 >`, with x -> infinity, the asymptotic score is 1

[Question]
[
You work at a beach. In the afternoon, the sun gets quite hot and beachgoers want to be shaded. So you put out umbrellas. When you put out umbrellas you want to shade the entire beach, with as few umbrellas as possible.
Umbrellas come in many sizes. However, larger umbrellas are susceptible to being pulled away by the wind, so in the morning you have to go to the beach and do a soil test. The soil test tells you, for each spot on the beach, the size of the largest umbrella that could be safely placed.
So after your soil test, you get back a list of positive integers. For example:
```
[2,1,3,1,3,1,1,2,1]
```
Each number represents the maximum radius of an umbrella that can be placed at that location. A radius \$r\$ umbrella covers itself, and \$r-1\$ spots to both its left and right.
For example a radius 3 umbrella covers:
* itself
* the two spaces directly adjacent to it,
* the two further spaces adjacent to those,
Your task is to write a computer program which takes the results of the soil test as a list of positive integers, and gives back the minimum number of umbrellas required to cover all the spots on the beach.
For example if the soil test gives back `[2,1,4,1,4,1,1,3,1]`, then you can cover the beach with 2 umbrellas:
```
X X X X X
X X X X X X X |
| |
[_,_,4,_,_,_,_,3,_]
```
So the output of the program should be 2.
This is code-golf so the goal is to minimize the size of your source code as measured in bytes.
## Test cases
```

[9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9] -> 1

[2,1,4,1,4,1,1,3,1] -> 2
[5,1,3,1,3,1,1,1,6] -> 2

Initially, five umbrellas lie to the right of index `0`, the valid two being the `1` at index `0` itself, and the `4` at index `1`, which also covers indices `1` to `4`. The maximum next uncovered index is therefore `5`, obtained by choosing the `4`. The `1` at index `6` is the only umbrella to the right of index `5`, and the maximum next uncovered index is therefore `7`, obtained by choosing the `3`. This completes the coverage of the beach using two umbrellas.

Requiring that the minimum is 1 is valid because in an optimal solution exactly one umbrella covers the leftmost position.
Transposing and then taking the length finds the minimum length, due to the way transposing works on different-sized arrays.

*-1 thanks to Bubbler suggesting a conversion to explicit fn.*
*Also thanks to Bubbler for pointing out a bug when a single umbrella covers everything, which must be handled as a special case.*
Inspired by [Neil's idea](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/266062/15469), but with an array implementation.
Consider the example `2 1 4 1 4 1 1 3 1`:
* `y>|@-/~#\y` For each entry in the list, this shows what the beach would look like with only that umbrella open, using a `1 0` list. The full phrase returns a binary matrix, with each row showing one "isolated umbrella" version of the beach:
```
1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
```
* `#.` Interpret those as binary numbers:
```
384 128 504 32 254 8 4 15 1
```
Conceptually, we'll still be working with `1 0` lists, but using integers will help us shorten the necessary computations.
* `(...^:a:)` Accumulate the results of `...` until a fixed point...
* `(...>./)` On each iteration, we find the row with the farthest rightward span of ones, provided that span starts at the left:
```
1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 <- farthest rightward span
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 <- doesn't count since it starts with 0
0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
```
This row, however, is nothing but the largest integer in our list, because of how binary numbers work.
* `(OR...)` We then add that "farthest right" row elementwise to every row, essentially "blocking out" everything it covers from all rows. This is nothing but the bitwise `OR` operation. The transformation in this step corresponds to our chosen umbrella being deployed:
```
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1
```
Then we continue. Our process will reach a fixed point (a matix of all ones) in `n + 1` steps, where `n` is the minimum number of covering umbrellas.
* `#}.` So we kill one element and get the length.
* `1>.` Finally, we return the max of that length and 1. This is needed for the case where a single umbrella covers the entire beach, because otherwise the algorithm above will return 0 in this case.

# [sed](https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/), 424 bytes
Thank you for restricting umbrella sizes to 9, otherwise `sed` stops to be the natural choice for solving this thing. (-; The maximum number of umbrellas is also limited to nine; you can upgrade to the big-beach-edition for a couple of extra bytes as an in-app-purchase.
I got distracted so often, that I decided to publish this initial version solving the problem, although I'm feeling that there are still ten to twenty bytes to golf away on a rainy day.
How it works:
* loop `1` creates all possible combinations of umbrellas used or not
* loop `2` sorts those combinations by their number of umbrellas used, which is awfully slow with this approach for 2^beachsize combinations!
* loop `3` takes one combination after the other to test whether they cover the beach with those sub-elements:
+ loop `4` makes a separate line for each umbrella
+ loop `5` opens the umbrellas by couting down there size and spreading `=`
+ loop `6` transposes the beaches from lines to columns (this will probably only work with wet sand)
+ if there is a line without umbrella, this means sun will hit the beach, so we have to start with the next combination of loop `3`
* loop `7` finally counts the number of umbrellas in the first shady combination

# [Python](https://www.python.org), 200 bytes
Not a very competitive answer, but it's the best I can do with the baseline python functions.
* l: is list of the beach spaces
* r: radius of already covered spaces
* p: amount of umbrellas and the final answer
Function goes through the beach from the left, finds the right most umbrella placing which covers all uncovered space to its left and reaches the farthest right.
The function then starts again with the spaces to the right of the last placed umbrella and now with info of which spaces on the left are already covered. When all spaces are covered prints out number of placed umbrellas.
Any tips for making this more streamlined are welcome, thank you.
```
def f(l,r=0,p=0):
m=r
for u in range(len(l)):
s=l[u]-1
if u-s-r<1 and u+s>=m:
m=u+s
t=u
if m>len(l)-2: return p+1
else: return f(l[t+1:],m, p+1)

[Question]

This is a somewhat [proof-golf](/questions/tagged/proof-golf "show questions tagged 'proof-golf'")-like [cops-and-robbers](/questions/tagged/cops-and-robbers "show questions tagged 'cops-and-robbers'") challenge. This is the cops' thread; [the robbers' thread is here.](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/157095/abstract-rewriting-challenge-robbers)
# Cops
Your task is to define an [abstract rewriting system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_rewriting_system) in which the reachability of one word from another is difficult to determine. You will prepare the following things:
1. A set of symbols, called the alphabet. (You may use any Unicode characters for these, but please don't use whitespace, or symbols that are hard to distinguish from each other.)
2. A *source string* composed of symbols from your alphabet.
3. A *target string* composed of symbols from your alphabet.
4. A set of rewrite rules using characters from your alphabet. (See below for the definition of a rewrite rule.)
5. A proof showing whether your source string can be converted into your target string by successive application of your rewrite rules. This proof might consist of an actual sequence of rewrite steps, or a mathematical proof that such a sequence must exist, or a mathematical proof that such a sequence does not exist.
You will post the first four of these, keeping the proof secret; the robbers will try to crack your answer by providing their own proof that your target string can or can not be reached from your source string. If your submission is not cracked within **two weeks**, you may mark it as safe and edit in your proof.
Submissions will be scored according to the number of characters in their rewrite rules and their source and target strings, as detailed below. The winner will be the uncracked submission with the lowest score.
**What is a rewrite rule?**
A rewrite rule is simply a pair of strings in your alphabet. (Either of these strings may be empty.) An application of a rewrite rule consists of finding a substring that is equal to the first string in the pair, and replacing it with the second.
An example should make this clear:
Suppose alphabet is `A`, `B` and `C`; the source string is "`A`"; the target string is "`C`" and the rewrite rules are
```
A:B
B:BB
B:A
AA:C
```
then the target string is reachable in the following way:
```
A
B (using rule 1)
BB (using rule 2)
AB (using rule 3)
AA (using rule 3)
C (using rule 4)
```
**Scoring**
Your score will be
* the length of your source string,
* plus the length of your target string,
* plus the length of all the strings included in your rewrite rules,
* plus one extra point for each rewrite rule.
If you write your rewrite rules with a colon separator as above, this is just the total length of all the rewrite rules (including the separator), plus the lengths of the source and target strings. A lower score is better. The number of distinct characters in your alphabet will be used to break ties, with fewer being better.
## Bounty
I'd like to see answers that really go for low scores. I will award **200 rep** to the first answer that scores less than 100 points in this challenge and doesn't get cracked.

## Proof
This is equivalent to the current best contender for a six state [busy beaver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_beaver). A busy beaver is a Turing machine that halts after a really long time. Because of this, the source string `‚ÜêA‚Üí` can indeed be transformed into the target string `‚ÜêüéÇ‚Üí`, but only after more than `7*10^36534` steps, which would take vastly longer than the age of the universe for any physical implementation.
The Turing machine's tape is represented by the symbols `⬛` (0) and `⚪` (1). The rules
```
← : ←⬛
→ : ⬛→
```
mean that the ends of the tape can always be extended with more zeros. If the head of the Turing machine ever gets near one end of the tape we can just apply one of these rules, which allows us to pretend that the tape is infinite, and starts out filled with all zeros. (The symbols `‚Üí` and `‚Üê` are never created or destroyed, so they're always at the ends of the tape.)
The Turing machine's head is represented with the symbols `ABCDE‚í∂‚í∑‚í∏‚íπ‚í∫‚íª` and `üéÇ`. `A` means the head is in state `A` and the symbol under the head is a `‚¨õ` (0), whereas ‚í∂ means it's in state `A` and the symbol under it is a `‚ö™` (1). This is continued for the other states, with the circled letter representing a 1 underneath the head and the uncircled version representing a 0. (There is no symbol `F` because it happens that the head never ends up in state `F` with a 1 underneath it.)
The state `üéÇ` is the halting state. It has the special rules
```
‚¨õüéÇ : üéÇ
‚ö™üéÇ : üéÇ
üéÇ‚¨õ : üéÇ
üéÇ‚ö™ : üéÇ
```
If the halting state is ever reached we can repeatedly apply these rules to "suck in" all of the tape (including any extra zeros that arose from extending the tape more than necessary), leaving us in the state `‚ÜêüéÇ‚Üí`. Therefore the reachability problem boils down to whether the state `üéÇ` will ever be reached.
The remaining rules are the transition rules for the Turing machine. For example, the rules
```
A⬛ : ⚪B
A‚ö™ : ‚ö™‚í∑
```
can be read as "if the machine is in state A and there is a zero under the head, then write a 1, change to state B and move right." Moving right takes two rules, because the tape cell to the right might contain a `⬛`, in which case the machine should go into state `B`, or the cell might contain a `⚪`, in which case it should go into state `Ⓑ`, since there is a `⚪` underneath it.
Similarly,
```
⬛Ⓓ : C⬛
⚪Ⓓ : Ⓒ⬛
```
means "if the machine is in state D and there is a 1 under the head, then write a 0, change to state C and move left."
The Turing machine used was discovered by Pavel Kropitz in 2010. Although it's often mentioned in the context of busy beavers, its actual transition table is a little tricky to track down, but it can be found for example [here](http://www.logique.jussieu.fr/~michel/bbc.html). It can be written as
```
0 1
A 1RB 1LE
B 1RC 1RF
C 1LD 0RB
D 1RE 0LC
E 1LA 0RD
F 1RH 1RC
```
which can be read as "if the machine is in state A and there is a zero under the head, then write a 1, change to state B and move right," and so on. It should be straightforward, if laborious, to check that each entry of this table corresponds to a pair of rules as described above.
The only exception is the rule `1RH` that occurs when the machine is in state F over a 0, because it seemed fairly pointless to make the machine write a 1 and move to the right when it could just halt immediately as soon as it ever enters state F over a 0. So I changed the rule that would have been
```
Ⓑ⬛ : ⚪F
```
into
```
‚í∑‚¨õ : üéÇ
```
This is why there is no symbol `F` in the alphabet. (There are some other 'golfs' I could have made, but I didn't want to obscure it too much.)
That's basically it. The target string is reachable from the source string, but only after a ridiculous number of steps.
One more fun fact: if I had used
`‚ÜêA‚ö™‚ö™‚Üí`
as the starting point instead, then it would take not `7*10^36534` steps to halt, but `10^10^10^10^18705352` steps, which is a very big number indeed.

The first number mod 5 = 2, so it is possible to get the final string.

The last rule allows you to create as many `n`s as you need.

Okay, HyperNeutrino has proved that this is unsolvable. However, there is another solution to this.
---
Take:
```
I E C D H G J A F B
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
```
The value of the source is even. The value of the target is odd. If we take each side, total the value, and take the value to mod 2, the values stay the same. Therefore, this cannot be achieved.

[Question]
[
The challenge is to write the fastest code possible for computing the [permanent of a matrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_(mathematics)).
The permanent of an `n`-by-`n` matrix `A` = (`a``i,j`) is defined as
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/GOz7G.png)
Here `S_n` represents the set of all permutations of `[1, n]`.
As an example (from the wiki):
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Qr1OJ.png)
In this question matrices are all square and will only have the values `-1` and `1` in them.
**Examples**
Input:
```
[[ 1 -1 -1 1]
[-1 -1 -1 1]
[-1 1 -1 1]
[ 1 -1 -1 1]]
```
Permanent:
```

```
Input:
```
[[-1 -1 -1 -1]
[-1 1 -1 -1]
[ 1 -1 -1 -1]
[ 1 -1 1 -1]]
```
Permanent:

```
Input:
```

**The task**
You should write code that, given an `n` by `n` matrix, outputs its permanent.
As I will need to test your code it would be helpful if you could give a simple way for me to give a matrix as input to your code, for example by reading from standard in.
Be warned that the permanent can be large (the all 1s matrix is the extreme case).
**Scores and ties**
I will test your code on random +-1 matrices of increasing size and stop the first time your code takes more than 1 minute on my computer. The scoring matrices will be consistent for all submissions in order to ensure fairness.
If two people get the same score then the winner is the one which is fastest for that value of `n`. If those are within 1 second of each other then it is the one posted first.
**Languages and libraries**
You can use any available language and libraries you like but no pre-existing function to compute the permanent. Where feasible, it would be good to be able to run your code so please include a full explanation for how to run/compile your code in Linux if at all possible.`
**Reference implementations**
There is already a [codegolf question](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/96825/codegolf-the-permanent) question with lots of code in different languages for computing the permanent for small matrices. [Mathematica](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Permanent.html) and [Maple](https://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=LinearAlgebra%2FPermanent) also both have permanent implementations if you can access those.
**My Machine** The timings will be run on my 64-bit machine. This is a standard ubuntu install with 8GB RAM, AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor and Radeon HD 4250. This also means I need to be able to run your code.

[Answer]
# gcc C++ n ≈ 36 (57 seconds on my system)
Uses Glynn formula with a Gray code for updates if all column sums are even, otherwise uses Ryser's method. Threaded and vectorized. Optimized for AVX, so don't expect much on older processors. Don't bother with `n>=35` for a matrix with only +1's even if your system is fast enough since the signed 128 bit accumulator will overflow. For random matrices you will probably not hit the overflow. For `n>=37` the internal multipliers will start to overflow for an all `1/-1` matrix. So only use this program for `n<=36`.
Just give the matrix elements on STDIN separated by any kind of whitespace

Uses the [Glynn formula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_the_permanent#CITEREFBalasubramanian1980) with a [Gray code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code) for updates. Runs up to `n=23` in a minute on my machine. One can surely do better implementing this in a faster language and with better data structures. This doesn't use that the matrix is ±1-valued.
A Ryser formula implementation is very similar, summing over all 0/1 vectors of coefficients rather than ±1-vectors. It takes about twice as long as Glynn's formula because adds over all 2^n such vectors, whereas Glynn's halves that using symmetry to only those starting with `+1`.

My first attempts at parallelism in Haskell. You can see a lot of optimization steps through the revision history. Amazingly, it were mostly very small changes. The code is based on the formula in the section "Balasubramanian-Bax/Franklin-Glynn formula" in the Wikipedia article on [computing the permanent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_the_permanent).
`p` computes the permanent. It is called via `pt` which transforms the matrix in a way that is always valid, but especially useful for the matrices that we get here.
Compile with `ghc -O2 -threaded -fllvm -feager-blackholing -o <name> <name>.hs`. To run with parallelisation, give it runtime parameters like this: `./<name> +RTS -N`. Input is from stdin with nested comma separated lists in brackets like `[[1,2],[3,4]]` as in the last example (newlines allowed everywhere).

# Python 2, n = 22 [Reference]
This is the 'reference' implementation I shared with Lembik yesterday, it misses making it to `n=23` by a few seconds on his machine, on my machine it does it in about 52 seconds. To achieve these speeds you need to run this through PyPy.
The first function calculates the permanent similar to how the determinant could be calculated, by going over each submatrix until you are left with a 2x2 which you can apply the basic rule to. It is *incredibly slow*.
The second function is the one implementing the Ryser function (the second equation listed in Wikipedia). The set `S` is essentially the powerset of the numbers `{1,...,n}` (variable `s_list` in the code).

# Mathematica, n ≈ 20

p[m_] := Last[Fold[Take[ListConvolve[##, {1, -1}, 0], 2^Length[m]]&,
Table[If[IntegerQ[Log2[k]], m[[j, Log2[k] + 1]], 0], {j, n}, {k, 0, 2^Length[m] - 1}]]]
```
Using the `Timing` command, a 20x20 matrix requires about 48 seconds on my system. This is not exactly as efficient as the other since it relies on the fact that the permanent can be found as the coefficient of the product of polymomials from each row of the matrix. Efficient polynomial multiplication is performed by creating the coefficient lists and performing convolution using `ListConvolve`. This requires about *O*(2*n* *n*2) time assuming convolution is performed using a Fast Fourier transform or similar which requires *O*(*n* log *n*) time.

To compile, [download](http://pypy.org/download.html) the most recent PyPy source, and execute the following:
```
pypy /path/to/pypy-src/rpython/bin/rpython matrix-permanent.py
```
The resulting executable will be named `matrix-permanent-c` or similiar in the current working directory.
As of PyPy 5.0, RPython's threading primitives are a lot less primitive than they used to be. Newly spawned threads require the GIL, which is more or less useless for parallel computations. I've used `fork` instead, so it may not work as expected on Windows, ~~although I haven't tested~~ fails to compile (`unresolved external symbol _fork`).
The executable accepts up to two command line parameters. The first is the number of threads, the second optional parameter is `n`. If it is provided, a random matrix will be generated, otherwise it will be read from stdin. Each row must be newline separated (without a trailing newline), and each value space separated. The third example input would be given as:
```

I've used the [Balasubramanian-Bax/Franklin-Glynn formula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_the_permanent#Balasubramanian-Bax.2FFranklin-Glynn_formula), with a runtime complexity of *O(2nn)*. However, instead of iterating the *δ* in grey code order, I've instead replaced vector-row multiplication with a single xor operation (mapping (1, -1) → (0, 1)). The vector sum can likewise be found in a single operation, by taking n minus twice the popcount.

Following simple function works for smaller matrices but hangs on my machine for larger matrices:
```
(for/sum((p(permutations(range(length l)))))(for/product((k l)(c p))(list-ref k c)))
```
Ungolfed:
```
(define (f ll)
(for/sum ((p (permutations (range (length ll)))))
(for/product ((l ll)(c p))
(list-ref l c))))
```
The code can easily be modified for unequal number of rows and columns.
Testing:
```
(f '[[ 1 -1 -1 1]
[-1 -1 -1 1]
[-1 1 -1 1]
[ 1 -1 -1 1]])
(f '[[ 1 -1 1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1]

[-1 1 -1 1 -1 1 1 -1]

[Question]

You will be given a positive integer `N` as input. Your task is to build a Semi-Zigzag, of `N` sides, each of length `N`. Since it is relatively hard to clearly describe the task, here are some examples:
* `N = 1`:
```
O
```
* `N = 2`:
```
O
O O
```
* `N = 3`:
```
O O
O O
O O O
```
* `N = 4`:
```
O O O O O
O O
O O
O O O O
```
* `N = 5`:
```
O O O O O O
O O O
O O O
O O O
O O O O O O
```
* `N = 6`:
```
O O O O O O O
O O O
O O O
O O O
O O O
O O O O O O O O O O O O
```
* `N = 7`:
```
O O O O O O O O O
O O O O
O O O O
O O O O
O O O O
O O O O
O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
```
* [A larger test case with `N = 9`](https://pastebin.com/BHGM6p5y)
As you can see, a Semi-Zigzag is made of alternating diagonal and horizontal lines, and it always begins with a top-left to bottom right diagonal line. Take note that the characters on the horizontal lines are separated by a space.
# Rules
* You may choose any non-whitespace *character* instead of `O`, it may even be inconsistent.
* You may output / return the result as a String or as a list of Strings, each representing one *line*.
* You may have a trailing or leading newline.
* **[Default Loopholes](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1061/loopholes-that-are-forbidden-by-default)** apply.
* You can take input and provide output by **[any standard mean](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2447/default-for-code-golf-input-output-methods)**.
* If possible, please add a testing link to your submission. I will upvote any answer that shows golfing efforts and has an explanation.
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest code in bytes ***in every language*** wins!

* `n*3/2*~-n+1` is the width of each line: ⌊3n/2⌋ · (n−1) + 1 characters.
* The string `q*n+s*(4*n-6)` represents the top and bottom rows. If we repeat it and slice `[2*(n-1):]` we get the top row; if we slice `[5*(n-1):]` we get the bottom row. Hence the definition of `p` and the calls to `p(2)` and `p(5)`. But since we need the repetition and line-length slicing for all other lines anyway, we reuse `p` in the loop.
* The `i*s+s+o+…` is just a boring expression for the middle rows.
* `n>1>p(5)` will short-circuit if `n≯1`, causing `p(5)` to not get evaluated. Hence, it’s shorthand for `if n>1:p(5)`.

(m=" "&~Array~{#,#^2-#+1};Do[m[[1[i,#,-i][[j~Mod~4]],j#-#+i+1-j]]="X",{j,#},{i,#}];m)&
```
* `#` is the input number for an anonymous function (ended by the final `&`).
* `m=" "&~Array~{#,#^2-#+1};` makes a matrix of space characters of the right size by filling an array of given dimensions `#,#^2-#+1` with the outputs of the constant anonymous function "output a space" `" "&`.
* `Do[foo,{j,#},{i,#}]` is a pair of nested do loops, where `j` ranges from `1` to `#` and inside of that `i` ranges from `1` to `#`.
* `m[[1[i,#,-i][[j~Mod~4]],j#-#+i+1-j]]="X"` sets the the corresponding part of the matrix to be the character `X` based on `j` and `i`. The `-i` uses negative indexing to save bytes from `#-i+1`. (I forgot to write `Mod[j,4]` as `j~Mod~4` in the original version of this code.) Jenny\_mathy pointed out that we can use the modular residue to index into the list directly (rather than using `Switch`) to save 9 bytes, and JungHwan Min pointed out that we didn't need to use `ReplacePart` since we can set a part of an array and that `1[i,#,-i][[j~Mod~4]]` uses the odd behavior and generality of `[[foo]]` to save bytes over `{1,i,#,-i}[[j~Mod~4+1]]`
* Since [meta established that a list of characters is a string](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2214/whats-a-string) (as [JungHwan Min pointed out](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/136660/build-a-semi-zigzag/136689#comment334433_136696)) we don't need to map any function across the rows of the matrix of characters since it's already a list of "string"s.

### Explanation:
```
F # For N in range(0, input)

Nè # Retrieve the Nth element
'ONÉúR # Push "O" if N is odd, else "O "
3212Nè # Retrieve the Nth element of 3212
Λ # Write to canvas
```
For input **6**, this gives the following arguments (in the same order) for the canvas:
```
[<num>, <fill>, <patt>]
[6, 'O', 3]
[11, 'O ', 2]
[6, 'O', 1]
[11, 'O ', 2]
[6, 'O', 3]
[11, 'O ', 2]
```
To explain what the canvas does, we pick the first set of arguments from the list above.
The number **6** determines the *length* of the string that will be written into the canvas. The filler is used to write on the canvas, which in this case is `O`. It cyclically runs through the filler string. The direction of the string is determined by the final argument, the direction. The directions are:
```
7 0 1
\ | /
6- X -2
/ | \
5 4 3
```
This means that the **3** sets the direction to *south-east*, which can also be [tried online](https://tio.run/##MzBNTDJM/f/fTEHJX0nBWOHc7P//AQ).

The basic idea is to for each number of the input range choose either adding a diagonal or the horizontal dotted part, in which case it will turn the array around for easier adding on.
Explanation:
```
╝ get a diagonal from the bottom-left corner with the length of the input - the starting canvas
.H∫ } for each number in the range [1,inp-1] do, pushing counter
2\? } if it divides by 2, then
.╝ create another diagonal of the input
F2% push counter % 2
? } if that [is not 0]
№ reverse the current canvas upside down
@.┌Ο get an alternation of spaces and dashes with the dash amount of the input length
; get the canvas on top of the stack
1w⁄ get its 1st element length
H decrease it
h swap the bottom 2 items - the canvas is now at the bottom and the current addition ontop
1 push 1
ž at 1-indexed coordinates [canvasWidth-1, 1] in the canvas insert the current part made by the Ifs
.4%1>? if input%4 > 1
№ reverse the array vertically
```
If the input of 1 wasn't allowed, then `ο.∫2%?.╝}F2\?№@.┌Ο};1w⁄Hh1ž}.4%1>?№` would work too. If random numbers floating around were allowed `.∫2%?.╝}F2\?№@.┌Ο};1w⁄Hh1ž}.4%1>?№` would work too. If I were not lazy and implemented [`‼`](https://github.com/dzaima/SOGL/blob/master/P5ParserV0_12/data/charDefs.txt#L702), `}F2%?` could be replaced with `‼` for -4 bytes

Set `k` to input - 1.
```
l=k#+1
```
Set `l` to `k*input + 1`
```
Array[ ..., l= ...,0]
```
Iterate `l` times, starting from `0`, incrementing by `1` each time...
---
```
j+=Im@i
```
Add the imaginary component of `i` to `j`...
```
k∣#&&(i*=I)
```
If the current iteration is divisible by `k`, multiply `i` by the imaginary unit...
```
{... j,#+1}->"o"
```
Create a `Rule` object that changes element at position `{j, current iteration + 1}` to `"o"`

*Thanks to @Lynn : fixed the spaces between `O`s on horizontal segments of the zigzag, but it costed a lot of bytes!*
Some explanations:
* `r` is a row of the output: it has the `0 y y y y y 0 x x x 0 y ...` format, the number of `x`and `y` depending on the row and the initial `n`
* for the top row, `x='0'`and `y=' '`
* for the middle rows, `x=' '`and `y=' '`
* for the bottom row, `x=' '`and `y='0'`
* `take(div(3*n)2*(n-1)+1)` cuts an infinite row at the right place
* every output has one top row and one bottom row except when `n=1`: `take n` handles this case.

[Question]
[
I didn't check [the sandbox](http://meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/7435/20634) before posting this challenge - it looks like this challenge was proposed by [Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ](http://meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/u/31957).
Given an integer input, write a program that prints the "four is a magic number" riddle
* Four is the magic number
* Five is four and four is the magic number
* Six is three and three is five and five is four and four is the magic number
* Eleven is six and six is three and three is five and five is four and four is the magic number
* Five Hundred is eleven and eleven is six and six is three and three is five and five is four and four is the magic number
If you already know the riddle, or are too ~~lazy to solve it~~ anxious to find out what the riddle is, here's an explanation
>
> The next number is the number of letters in the previous number. So, for example, **five** has **four** letters, so the next number is **four**.
>
>
>
> **six** has **three** letters, so the next number is **3**, and **three** has **five** letters, so the next number is **5**, and **five** has **four** letters, so the next number is **4**
>
>
>
> The reason the riddle ends at four is because four has four letters, and four is four and four is four and four is four... (four is the magic number)
>
>
>
## Test Cases
```

999,999 =>
Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Nine is fifty and fifty is five and five is four and four is the magic number
```
## Rules
* The input may either be taken from `STDIN` or as an argument to a function
* The input will be a positive number between 0 and 999,999
* The input will *only* contain numbers (it will follow the regex `^[0-9]+$`)
* The input can either be taken as an integer or a string
* When converted to a word string, spaces and hyphens should not be included in the count (100 [One Hundred] is 10 characters, not 11. 1,742 [One thousand Seven hundred Forty-Two] is 31 characters, not 36)
* When converted to a string, 100 should be One Hundred, not A Hundred or Hundred, 1000 should be One Thousand, not A Thousand or Thousand.
* When converted to a string 142 should be One Hundred Forty Two, not One Hundred *and* Forty Two
* The output is **case-insensitive**, and should follow the format "**N** is **K** and **K** is **M** and **M** is ... and four is the magic number" (unless the input is 4, in which case the output should simply be "four is the magic number")
* The output *can* use numbers instead of letters ("5 is 4 and 4 is the magic number" instead of "five is four and four is the magic number") as long as your program is always consistent
* The output can either be the return value of a function, or printed to `STDOUT`
* [Standard loopholes](http://meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/1061/20634) apply
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest program in bytes wins. Good luck!
## Bonus
**-30 bytes** if the program works when the input is between -999,999 and 999,999.
Negative numbers, when converted to words, just have "negative" in front of them. For example `-4` is "Negative Four", *Negative Four is twelve and twelve is six and six is three and three is five and five is four and four is the magic number*
**-150 bytes** if the program does not use any built-in functions for generating the string representation of the number

Inspired by [the answer from Cole Cameron](/a/74627/39490). I thought I might be able to do better without the macro definition. Although I eventually managed, it did take some squeezing to achieve!
It requires a host character set with consecutive letters (so ASCII is okay, but EBCDIC won't work). That's for the pair of lookup tables. I chose `j` as the zero character, and took advantage of needing two lookups, so I could subtract one from the other rather than having to subtract my zero from both.
## Commented version:
```
char*i=
"jmmonnmoon" /* 0 to 9 */
"mpprrqqsrr" /* 10 to 19 */
"jjddeeecdd"; /* tens */
char x; /* current letter count */
f(n,c){
return
!n?n /* zero - return 0 (ignore c) */
:n<0?f(-n,8) /* negative n (only reached if c==0) */
:n<100?c+i[n<20?n:n%10]-i[20+n/10] /* lookup tables */
:
f(n/1000,8) /* thousand */
+ f(n/100%10,7) /* hundred */
+ f(n%100,0) /* rest */
+ c; /* carry-in */
}
main(int c, char**v)
{
for(c=atoi(*++v);c-4;c=x)
printf("%d is %d and ",c,x=c?f(c,0):4);
puts("4 is the magic number");
}
```
There's an obvious extension to support millions, by replacing `f(n/1000,8)` with `f(n/1000000,7)+f(n/1000%1000,8)`.

Explanation.
`m` is trivial enough, however, the `c` is not. `c` is the function to count the number of character the english name of number.
```
c n |n<0=8+c(-n) -- Add word "negative" in front of it, the length is 8
|n>999=r 1000+8 -- the english name for number with form xxx,yyy is xxx thousand yyy
|n>99=7+r 100 -- the english name for number with form xyy is x hundred yy
|n>19=r 10+2-g[30..59]+g[20..29] -- the english name for number with form xy with x more
-- than 1 is x-ty. However *twoty>twenty,
-- *threety>thirty, *fourty>forty, *fivety>fifty.
|n>10=r 10-1-g(15:18:[11..13]) -- the english name for number with form 1x is x-teen.
-- However, *oneteen>eleven, *twoteen>twelve,
-- *threeteen>thirteen, *fiveteen>fifteen,
-- *eightteen>eighteen
|2>1=[0,3,3,5,4,4,3,5,5,4,3]!!n -- for number 0-10, the length is memorized. 0 is 0
-- because it is omitted. Input zero is handled
-- separately. If we defined 0 to be 4, then
-- 20 => twenty zero.
where g =fromEnum.elem n -- Check if n is element of argument array, if true, 1 else 0
r k=c(mod n k)+c(div n k) -- Obvious.

[Question]
[
This is a rock:
```
*
```
Rocks can be stacked. Apart from the bottom-most layer, each rock must rest on two other rocks, like this:
```
*
* *
```
You have a pile of rocks, and your boss wants you to pile them *symmetrically*, taking up the least horizontal space possible.
Your challenge is to take a number of rocks as input, and output that many rocks stacked *symmetrically*, on *as small* a base as possible.
For example, with input `4`:
You can't fit a pile of 4 rocks on a base of 2. With a base of 3, you can, but you can't make it symmetrical - you end up with something like
```
*
* * *
```
So you need a base size of 4, which uses up all your rocks, so the result is:
```
* * * *
```
Any trailing or leading whitespace is allowed in the output, and you may use any two distinct characters instead of `*` and . If there are multiple ways to stack the inputted number of rocks symmetrically with the same base, any of them are valid.

This is a fast algorithm with no searching.
**Explanation**
Where `T` is a triangular number greater than the input, the only solution for `T-1` is to delete the top `*` and the only solution for `T-4` is to delete the top two rows and the `*` from the middle of the next row, forming a diamond shape.
For `T-1-2n` or `T-4-2n` a possible solution is to also delete the `*` at the beginning and the end of each row. In practice there are always enough asterisks to delete; If you run out it means that there is a triangular number smaller than `T` which would give a smaller base (This is fairly easy to prove so I'll not explain here.)
For `T-2` there is no solution and we are forced to use a triangle with the next larger base.
See examples below for odd and even numbers of deletions (numbers represent the number of deletions `O` not the number of `*`).
```
1 3 7
O O O
* * O O O O
* * * * * * O * O

O O O
O O O O O O

->n{a=[];b=x=0 #a[] = empty array for solution;b = base size; x = asterisk count
(a<<"* "*b+=1)while(x+=b)<n||2==c=x-n #Add rows to a while asterisk count is below n, or the count is exactly 2 above n. Save the difference between the count and the required in c
(-~c/2).times{|i|a[i][0]=a[i][-2]=' '} #Overwrite the excess asterisks with spaces by looping (c+1)/2 times. An odd number of asterisks is deleted because there is only one on the 1st row.
~c%2*c>0&&a[2][2]=' ' #If there was a positive even number of excess asterisks, we still need to delete the middle asterisk on row 2.

A monadic link taking an integer and returning a list of lists. >50% of the code is focused on the ASCII art aspect. If a list of integers indicating row sizes were permissible, [this would be 20 bytes](https://tio.run/##AVEArv9qZWxsef//xZLhuZdRxpHGh@G4guKBucak4biEX@KAmcqL4rGuM8imJMaH4bmAw57huKL/O@KAnCAtPiDigJ07w4fhub4kCsOH4oKsWf//NTA).
In brief, this is the algorithm:
1. Generate all integer partitions of n
2. Keep only those made of distinct integers
3. Keep only those where there is no length 2 subsequence of odd numbers and no length 3 subsequence that is odd, even, even.
4. Keep one of the lists with the smallest maximum integer
5. Left pad the list of integers with spaces; in general, this is max integer minus current integer, but where there are two even numbers in a row, there is one less space.
6. Half the integer, rounding up, convert to unary and separate with spaces, with an extra space if the integer is even
7. Right pad with spaces to make each line the same length.
8. Palindromise each line

`ŒP` constructs the powerset of the array of code points, yielding
```
[[], [17], [145], [0], [17, 145], [17, 0], [145, 0], [17, 145, 0]]
```
The last two entries correspond to combinations that contain both **80** and **FF**, so we have to discard them.
`»Ṫ¦209` consists of three parts:
* `Ṫ` (tail) removes the last array of code points, i.e., **[17, 145, 0]**.
* `»209` takes the maximum of each integer in the remainder of the powerset and **0xD1 = 209**, replacing all of them with **209**.
* `¦` (sparse) iterates over the elements of the remainder of the powerset. If the corresponding index is found in **[17, 145, 0]**, the element is replaced with all **209**'s. If not, it is left untouched.
`¦` isn't modular, so this modifies only the last array (index **0**) in the remainder of the powerset. The indices **17** and **145** are too large and have no effect.
The result is as follows.
```
[[], [17], [145], [0], [17, 145], [17, 0], [209, 209]]
```
`ṗ€3` computes the third Cartesian power of each array, i.e., the array of all 3-tuples of elements of each array.
`Fd⁴` flattens the result and computes quotient and remainder of each integer divided by **16**.
`ịØH` indexes (1-based) into **"0123456789ABCDEF**, so **0x11**, **0x91**, **0x00**, and **0xD1** get mapped to **"00"**, **"80"**, **"FF"**, and **"C0"** (resp.).
`s3ṢQ` splits the character pairs into 3-tuples, sorts the tuples, and deduplicates.
Finally, `Y` joins the unique tuples, separating by linefeeds.

* The [brace expansion](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Brace-Expansion.html) `{00,80,FF}{00,80,FF}{00,80,FF}` gives all need combinations in the right order (excluding `C0C0C0`), along some extras. The extras are the ones that contain both `F` and `8` characters.
* The result of the brace expansion is a single space-separated line. `fmt` puts each entry on its own line
* The 1st line of the `sed` expression inserts `C0C0C0` in the appropriate line
* The 2nd line of the `sed` expression filters out the "extras" described above.

```
[consolecolor[]](0,7+9..15)+-split'Lime Maroon Navy Olive Purple Silver Teal'|%{-join"$([windows.media.colors]::$_)"[3..8]}|sort
```
The `[system.consolecolor]` namespace defines the console colors (natively) [available](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/98984/42963) to the PowerShell console. If we reference them via an integer array like this, the default value is the name (e.g., `Black` or `White` or the like). We combine that with a string that has been `-split` on spaces, so now we have an array of strings of color names.
We loop through those `|%{...}` and each iteration pull out the corresponding `[system.windows.media.colors]` value. The default stringification for those objects is the color in `#AARRGGBB` format as a hex value, so we leverage that by encapsulating that call in a string with a script block `"$(...)"`. But, since we don't want the alpha values or the hash, we take the back end `[3..8]` of the string, and need to `-join` that resulting `char`-array back into a string. Then, a simple `Sort-Object` to put them in the right order.

The colours are encoded in the string you see on the first line, two bits per colour component, with an additional high bit set to force each value into the ASCII range (except in the case of 63, which would be out of range as 127).
The list of colours on the stack is then processed as follows:
```
9\ 9 is pushed behind the current colour to serve as a marker.
:4/:\4/ The colour is repeatedly divided by 4, splitting it into 3 component parts.
> The inner loop deals with each of the 3 components.
4% Modulo 4 masks out the 2 bits of the colour component that we care about.
:3g, That is used as an index into the table on line 4 to get the character to output.

After having made an attempt involving creating a list of numbers and outputting them while sorting, I compared to the naïve solution, which was sobering:
```
f(){puts("000000\n000080\n0000FF\n008000\n008080\n00FF00\n00FFFF\n800000\n800080\n808000\n808080\nC0C0C0\nFF0000\nFF00FF\nFFFF00\nFFFFFF");}
```
That one clocks in at 140 bytes compared to my try at 200 and change.
The solution was to think of it as text like any other, albeit with a small alphabet. Each colour could be thought of as a triplet of 2-bit indices into the alphabet {0xff, 0xc0, 0x80, 00}. The process of colour -> triplet -> number -> character (with offset +35 to make them all printable and avoid any need for escapes) can be illustrated as such:
```
000000 333 63 b
000080 332 62 a
0000FF 330 60 _
008000 323 59 ^
008080 322 58 ]
00FF00 303 51 V
00FFFF 300 48 S
800000 233 47 R
800080 232 46 Q
808000 223 43 N
808080 222 42 M

FF0000 033 15 2
FF00FF 030 12 /
FFFF00 003 3 &
FFFFFF 000 0 #
```
Then it's just a matter of iterating over the resulting string and cutting out the appropriate parts of the alphabet string.

[Question]
[
This is a mirror: `|`. I just found out that you can stick a mirror in the middle of a string if the string can be mirrored on itself! For example, the string `abccba`. If you cut it in half the two halves are mirror images of each other:
```
abc <--> cba
```
So, we can stick a mirror in the middle of the string, and our new string is `abc|cba`. Sometimes, only part of the string can be mirrored on itself. For example, the string "mirror". The two r's are mirrored, but the rest of the string isn't. That's OK, we'll just remove the parts of the string that don't mirror each other, and we get the following string:
```
r|r
```
Some strings could be mirrored in multiple places. For example, "Hello World, xyzzyx". I like having a lot of text reflected in my mirror, so you need to find the best place to put my mirror. In this case, you should output the longer mirrored string and just like our last example, remove everything else. This string becomes:
```
xyz|zyx
```
Some strings *look* like they can be mirrored, but actually can not. If a string cannot be mirrored anywhere, you should output nothing.
# The challenge:
Given a string containing only printable-ascii, find the best place to put my mirror. In other words,
>
> Find the largest even-length palindromic substring, then output it with a pipe character '|' in the middle of it.
>
>
>
The input will be 1-50 characters long.
You can assume that the input will not contain mirrors `|` or newlines. Beyond that, all printable-ascii characters are fair game. If the longest mirrored substring is tied between two substrings, you can choose which one to output. For example, for the string "abba ollo", you must output "ab|ba" or "ol|lo", but it doesn't matter which one you output. Strings are case-sensitive, e.g. "ABba" should *not* output "AB|ba", it should output the empty string.
# Sample IO:
```
"Hello World" --> "l|l"
"Programming Puzzles and Code-Golf" --> Either "m|m" or "z|z"
"abcba" --> ""
"Hulluh" --> "ul|lu"
"abcdefggfedcba" --> "abcdefg|gfedcba"
"abcdefggfabc" --> "fg|gf"
"AbbA" --> "Ab|bA"
"This input is a lot like the last one, but with more characters that don't change the output. AbbA" --> "Ab|bA"
```
As usual, this is code-golf, so standard loopholes apply, and the shortest answer in bytes wins!

```
f=lambda s,p='':s and max((''<p<=s<p+'\x7f')*(p[::-1]+'|'+p),f(s[1:]),f(s[1:],s[0]+p),key=len)
```
Replace `\x7f` with the actual character DEL, which is ASCII 127 (credit to Dennis).
This follows a similar strategy to [Dennis's answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/84402/20260) of using `max` and recursively branching to find the longest palindrome interval. But, instead, it finds the left half, checking that the corresponding mirrored right half comes right after it with a [self-made startswith](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/51783/20260).
The function guesses whether the first character is in the mirrored left half. If not, it just drops it and recurses on the remainder. If it is, it's added to to the stack `p` of reversed characters. If the string ever starts with the stack, the mirror string is generated and considered as a possible longest mirror. To avoid `|` as an output, only non-empty stacks are considered.

This program finds the first half of the largest palindromic substring of even length, and prints that string, followed by a `|`, followed by that string reversed. If there is no suitable string, `t` will be the empty string, and `'|'*(L(t)>0)` will evaluate to the empty string.

```
**Algorithm**
Song intro: Take 16 tokens, and print them twice (last one bears an extra newline)
Verses: Riffle the tokens together to make the verses, 4 tokens per line, in the following order:
```
0 4 1 5
2 6 3 7
8 12 9 13
10 14 11 15
```
In some lines, the last token is omitted, or exchanged for `Af-`. These lines are noted with a 1 bit in the magic number 0x744447=7619655.
In three lines, the penultimate token is also omitted, those where `i%51/48==1`
The punctuation in the middle of the line can be one of `' '` `', '` `'\n'`. These are encoded in the number 02220010000200100010001001110010001000100010001000100010 (base 3) = "l4yq62lhgnizb0kfu" (base 36.)

# Explanation
We start out with the original lyrics. For brevity, let’s assume they are
```
lyrics = "Work Work Harder Harder"
```
Now we find short substrings (≥ 3 characters) that occur often. In this case, `"Work "` occurs twice. We replace each occurrence with character 0xE1. We also remember the replaced string in an array:
```
lyrics = "ááHarder Harder"
substs = ["Work "]
```
The next substring, `"Harder"`, is replaced with 0xE0. The `substs` array grows towards the front:
```
lyrics = "ááà à"
substs = ["Harder", "Work "]
```
This continues for a total of 34 iterations until we get to character 0xC0.
Now we concatenate the `substs` using the character `b` (which doesn’t occur in the lyrics) as a separator. In the Perl code, the `substs` array is stored in `@c` (using the bareword `b` to tell `split` where to split), the new jumbled lyrics are in `$e`, and the code simply reverses the 34 substitutions.

Thanks to @Chris Drost for the hint with the many "ER"s in the text.
First String is a lookup table, second part uses the lowercase letters (which are a sequential block in ascii) as a index into the table by subtracting the magic value of a from the value.
Second part consists of multiple Strings of different length (short ones are common parts shared between multiple verses) which get assembled to a long one before the looping through the chars happens

eval("a='w_m_d_u_h_b_f_s_M_H_O_N_E_A_W_VX';b='w hTm b_d f,Tu s_M ETH A_O W N VX';c=bRA/,'Y');o={};'wWork It|mMake It|dDo It|uMakes Us|hHard&bBett&fFast&sStrong&MMore Than|HHour|OOur|NNev&EEv&AAft&WWork Is|VOv&X\\n\\n|YAf-|_\\n|T 'R&/g,'er|').split('|').map(x=>o[x[0]]=x.slice(1));console.log((a+a+b.repeat(7)+bR._/g,'_')R,?T/g,',T')+c+c+c+bRT/,'_')R,/,'')+bR,?T. ._/g,'_')+bR,?T/g,'_'))R\\w/g,x=>o[x]).trim())".replace(/R/g,'.replace(/'))
```
This was written to be an executable script via `iojs --harmony_arrow_functions file.js`; you can shave off the `console.log()` overhead depending on the meaning of "output the lyrics".
## Explanation
After performing the outer `.replace()`, the code fed to `eval` is:
```
// The first three lines, with each phrase compressed to a single character, newlines
// compressed to _, and block-endings compressed to X. Call this compressed-format.
a = 'w_m_d_u_h_b_f_s_M_H_O_N_E_A_W_VX';
// The compressed-format main block: this is repeated seven times literally but
// every other stanza, besides `a` above, ultimately uses some simple variant
// of this block.
b = 'w hTm b_d f,Tu s_M ETH A_O W N VX';
// The new character T above is a new character we're adding to compressed-format, it is
// a space in the main block but also a hook for some regular expressions later.
// We need one more entry in compressed-format: some blocks, here assigned to
// the variable `c`, shorten "After" to Y = "Af-".
c = b.replace(/A/, 'Y');
// Now we want to build a lookup table for this compressed format above. That is done by
// these lines, which have also been compressed:
o={};
'wWork It|mMake It|dDo It|uMakes Us|hHard&bBett&fFast&sStrong&MMore Than|HHour|OOur|NNev&EEv&AAft&WWork Is|VOv&X\n\n|YAf-|_\n|T '
.replace(/&/g, 'er|')
.split('|')
.map(x => o[x[0]] = x.slice(1));
// The fact that so many fragments end in 'er' allows us to actually shave a couple
// bytes above, but the compression scheme is fundamentally creating a dict like
// {a: "Phrase 1", b: "Phrase 2", c: "Phrase 3", d: "Phrase 4"}
// from the string "aPhrase 1|bPhrase 2|cPhrase 3|dPhrase4".
// Now we have the part that actually does the work:
console.log(
( // build-string phase
// first two opening blocks `a`
a + a +
// seven repetitions of `b`
b.repeat(7) +
// a version of `b` without final words and with commas before each T.
b.replace(/._/g, '_').replace(/,?T/g, ',T') +
// three repetitions with the 'Af-' suffix.
c + c + c +
// one with the first T converted into a newline and no commas
b.replace(/T/, '_').replace(/,/, '') +
// one with only the first halfs of the three lines
b.replace(/,?T. ._/g, '_') +
// one with no commas and all T's converted to newlines.
b.replace(/,?T/g, '_')
) // end build-string phase
// Now we convert from compressed-format to actual format
.replace(/\w/g, x => o[x])
// We are only told that one trailing newline is allowed; we have two extra:
.trim()
)
```

Creates an array of keywords `$a`, then encodes the lyrics using a series of numerical strings which are sent into a `for` loop. The loop takes two-digit substrings, pulls the corresponding keyword from the `$a` array, and finally the `-join''` concatenates it all together.
I think this is about as good as this method can be done, as every time I tried to golf further (e.g., replacing `040008` with a new variable), it turned out to be a couple bytes longer because the substring length wasn't enough to account for all the extra quotes needed. Though there have been some new answers posted since I started that have slightly different methods that look like they might be shorter in PowerShell (like using ASCII characters to encode, rather than two-digits, maybe?), I'm going to stick with this one.
Edit - forgot the replacement encoding I used:

This is a port of my Ruby answer into golfscript using the same basic algorithm: output the list of tokens twice, then riffle them into the verses and build the verses line by line, adjusting for the peculiarities of each.
There are a couple of differences. The number for the correct mid-line punctuation is in base 81 (conveniently this makes one printable ascii character per verse); and the number encoding whether or not to print the last token is modified because the index is `55-i`instead of `i-28` (the latter was found to cause problems with negative powers generating fractional numbers instead of truncating to integer.)

[Question]
[
**Goal:** Write a program or function which prints an input string in a sinusoidal shape.
### The ASCII sinusoid
Here is one period of the sinusoid:
```
.......
... ...
.. ..
. .
. .
. .
. . .
. .
. .
. .
.. ..
... ...
.......
```
Note that there is exactly one dot on each column.
* Each character in the input string will replace a dot in the shape above, from left to right.
* Spaces in the input have to be outputted like normal characters, in place of a dot.
* The starting character corresponds to the leftmost dot in the figure above.
* This is only one period, inputs can be longer than the number of dots above.
### Input
* Inputs are ASCII strings that contain only characters between ASCII decimal 32 (space) and ASCII decimal 126 (Tilde ~).
* Inputs will always be one line only (no linebreaks).
* Inputs can be taken via STDIN, function parameters, command line arguments, or anything similar.
### Output
* Output must be printed exactly like they are in the test cases given.
* Trailing spaces on lines are allowed as long as the length of the line with those trailing spaces does not exceed the length of the longest line (the one with the last character on it).
* No leading/trailing line allowed.
### Test cases
* Input: `.................................................`
Output:
```
.......
... ...
.. ..
. .
. .
. .
. . .
. .
. .
. .
.. ..
... ...
.......
```
* Input: `Programming Puzzles & Code Golf Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for programming puzzle enthusiasts and code golfers. It's 100% free, no registration required.`
Output:
```

* Input: `Short text.`
Output:

* Input: `The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog`
Output:
```

### Scoring
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest program or function in bytes wins.
[Answer]
## Python 2, 156 bytes
```
l=map(int,"654322111%08d1122345"%1);l+=[12-c for c in l]
def f(t):
h=len(t);o=bytearray(' '*h+'\n')*13;i=0
for c in t:o[i-~h*l[i%48]]=c;i+=1
print o[:-1]
```
## Explanation
* The whole code simply makes a block of spaces (`o`) and replaces the right spaces with the letters of the input `t`.
* The variable `l` stores a list of offsets from the top. So that the `n`th character of `t` should be on line `l[n]`.
* The bytearray `o` serves as a mutable string, since strings are immutable in python.
* `-~h` is the same as `h+1` but saves space because I don't need parentheses.

A binary lookup table is encoded inside ``, which has value 3912. This is converted to binary, giving `[1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0]`. This is treated as the differences between consecutive heights. By prepending a 6, forming all prefixes and mapping each to its sum, the first quarter of the wave is generated.
`sM._+6jC\2` evaluates to `[6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 12, 12, 12]` as described above. Then, the code concatenates on the reverse of this string to form the first half of the wave, and then subtracts it from 12 to give the entire wave.
Then, we form lines of each input character followed by 12 spaces. This line is rotated to the right by the wave height parameter corresponding to that location, and then the lines are transposed and joined on newlines.
Then, we strip off leading and trailing blank lines. However, we can't strip off leading or trailing blank lines that have spaces from the input. This is implemented by replacing spaces in the input with tabs (`C9`), which can't be in the input, stripping blank lines, and turning the tabs back into spaces.

Input is implicitly placed in `$_` (due to `-n`, and `-a`, being implicitly set by `-F` being set) and is split into chars in `@F`. Then the code in `'`s is `eval`ed 13 times. This code `s`ubstitues every char (`s!.!...!`) in the input (`s///` works on `$_` by default) with either the char at the current position from `@F` (`$F[pos]`) or a space (`$"`) depending on whether or not the current value of `$-` (which starts as `0`) is equal to the value in the in the list of values, modulo `48`. This list is constructed from the 24-digit integer (`654322111000000011122345`), which represents the first set of rows in which the char should be displayed for the waveform, which is split into digits (`=~/./g`) and the second part is created in the immediately following `map` which subtracts the values from `12`, resulting in a list of 48 values that indicate where chars should be displayed. `$-` is incremented using the return from `say` (which outputs the current value of `$_` with a trailing newline) which is `1`.

Really simple implementation: it uses a string of characters to represent the y-position of each character on the wave (offset by `a`, which is ASCII code 97). It then iterates through all possible rows; if the y-value of the current row is the same as the y-position on the wave, it writes a character from the string. There's also a cleanup at the end to remove the row if it turned out to be completely blank.
Note that the output will appear wonky in the `alert()` window if it's not using a monospaced font, you can change it to `console.log()` to verify the output is correct.
```
s=prompt(o=[])
for(y=i=0;y<13;++y){o[i]=""
for(x=0;x<s.length;++x)o[i]+=y=="gfedccbbbaaaaaaabbbccdefghijkklllmmmmmmmlllkkjih".charCodeAt(x%48)-97?s[x]:" "
if(o[i++].trim().length<1)o.splice(--i,1)}
alert(o.join("\n"))
```
EDIT1: `++` and `--` exist.
EDIT2: Blank line removal is now done in the same loop as the rest, saving 17 characters. Didn't need those brackets either, for an extra 2 characters.
EDIT3: No need to declare the waveform as a variable, saving 4 characters.
EDIT4: As pointed out by Dom Hastings in the comments, the byte count included the carriage return as well as the newline character, updated the byte counts for all revisions to exclude the carriage return.
EDIT5: Saved 3 bytes courtesy of Dom Hastings. I haven't implemented the `o.splice` fix as this fails to remove the blank lines (on my end, at least).

## Matlab, 133, 130 bytes
The one liner:
```
s=input('');y=ceil(5.6*sin(0:pi/24:pi-.1).^.9);l=[-y y]+7;n=numel(s);t=repmat(' ',13,n);for k=1:n;t(l(mod(k-1,48)+1),k)=s(k);end;t
```
And the expanded version:
```
function f(s)
y=ceil(5.6*sin(0:pi/24:pi-.1).^.9);l=[-y y]+7; %// calculate the line number for each column position
n=numel(s); %// number of character in input
t=repmat(' ',13,n); %// Create a blank canvas of whitespace characters
for k=1:n
t(l(mod(k-1,48)+1),k)=s(k); %// place each input character where it should be
end
t %// force the output display
```
---
The one liner takes input from the console (`stdin`) and is 130 bytes. The expanded version replace the console input by a function definition (+1 byte) but is much more comfortable to use for the test case in a loop:
---
**Description:**
The line index of each character is calculated for a half period, then mirrored and concatenated to have a full period.
We create a blank background of whitespace character (same length as the input string.
We place each character according to its position in the relevant line. If the input string is longer than one period, the `mod` (modulo) operator wraps that so we don't get out of bound when requesting the line number.
---
**Test case:**
Save the function version under `textsine.m` in your path, then run:
```
s = {'.................................................';...
'Programming Puzzles & Code Golf Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for programming puzzle enthusiasts and code golfers. It''s 100% free, no registration required.';...
'Short text.';...
'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'};
for txtcase=1:4
textsine(s{txtcase,1})
end
```
will output:
```

if you want to test the one liner version with input from `stdin`, your input has to be entered as **one** single `string`, so you'd have to enclose your input between `'` characters.
Example:
```
'Short text.' %// valid input
Short text. %// INVALID input

Print the output line by line, computing the indices in the strings that should be printed using the inverse sine function `asin`. The output do not match exactly the expected inputs in the question, but since OP acknowledges that the example outputs are not real sine, I guess this is ok. At least, there is always only one character written for each column.
[Answer]
# Python 2, 172 bytes
This isn't as good as [Alex L's answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/53850/19349), but it's pretty close. Takes input from standard input and works best in a `.py` file.
```
l=map(int,bin(9960000)[2:]);l+=[-c for c in l];s=6;o=[];i=9
for c in raw_input():b=[' ']*13;b[s]=c;o+=[b];s+=l[i%48];i+=1
print''.join(sum(zip(*o+['\n'*13])[::-1],())[:-1])
```
I decided to build the output transposed (each column is a row) and then transpose the result, since in python the transpose of a matrix is `map(*m)`.
* `l`: The binary representation of `9960000` (after chopping off the `"0b"` from `bin`) is `100101111111101001000000`. This is the "step" of the sine wave each column, starting at the very last character of the very lowest point. I copy this list, negate each number, and tack it onto the end of itself to form what is effectively a derivative of the function.
* `s`: This is the variable that keeps track of which row (column in the transpose) the next character gets inserted into.
* `o`: End output, transposed
* `i`: Keeps track of sine wave period. Starts at 9 since `l` is shifted slightly.
In the `for` loop, I create a list of 13 spaces (I was using bytearrays but lists of characters turn out to have a shorter print statement), then replace the `s`th character with the input character. Append `b` to the end of `o`, add the appropriate step to `s`, and increment `i`.
I had hoped the `print` statement would be as simple as `\n'.join(*zip(o))`, but no such luck. `zip(*o+['\n'*13])[::-1]` appends a column of newlines and then reverses and transposes the whole thing (without the reversing, the sine wave is upside down), `sum(...,())` concatenates the tuples together into one tuple of characters, and then `''.join(...)` concatenates the characters and prints it.
Other things I tried were making a 12-character array of spaces and inserting the new character into the appropriate place, and replacing `l+=[-c for c in l];` with some sort of math with some sort of multiplication of `1` and `-1` with the result of indexing into `l`, but nothing I could come up with ended up being shorter.
[Answer]
# Mathematica, 131 bytes
```
i=[input string];c=Characters@i;l=Length@c;StringJoin@Riffle[StringJoin@@@SparseArray[Table[{7-Round[6 Sin[.13(x-1)]],x},{x,l}]->c,{13,l}," "],"\n"]
```
That's 131 characters, including the three for `i=foo;`. That seemed a reasonable way to take the input; I could have put it straight into the definition of `c` and saved a few strokes, but that feels unfair.
It's pretty straightforward -- almost even readable. It splits the string into a list of characters, and then puts those characters into a sparse array at the positions determined from the `Table` (any spot in the array not given a character defaults to a space). The lines are assembled separately, then newlines sprinkled between them. The final StringJoin stitches it all up.
**NB:** Like some other solutions, this may not actually be valid because it produces a real sinusoid rather than the (beautiful) handcrafted example.

[Question]
[
The look-say sequence is a sequence of lists of numbers where each element is the previous element with run length encoding. Run length encoding is the process of grouping together like elements and then giving the element and the size of the group for each group. So for example:
```
1 1 1 2 2 1
```
To run length encode this we group like elements together
```
1 1 1 | 2 2 | 1
```
And then replace each group with its size and the element:
```
3 1 | 2 2 | 1 1
```
Then we concatenate these back together:
```
3 1 2 2 1 1
```
The look-say sequence starting from just `1` goes:
```
1
1 1
2 1
1 2 1 1
1 1 1 2 2 1
3 1 2 2 1 1
1 3 1 1 2 2 2 1
1 1 1 3 2 1 3 2 1 1
3 1 1 3 1 2 1 1 1 3 1 2 2 1
1 3 2 1 1 3 1 1 1 2 3 1 1 3 1 1 2 2 1 1
...
```
But we can start with different values. For example we could start with `2`
```
2
1 2
1 1 1 2
3 1 1 2
1 3 2 1 1 2
1 1 1 3 1 2 2 1 1 2
3 1 1 3 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 2
1 3 2 1 1 3 2 1 3 2 2 1 1 2
1 1 1 3 1 2 2 1 1 3 1 2 1 1 1 3 2 2 2 1 1 2
```
Or we could even start it with `3 3 3`:
```
3 3 3
3 3
2 3
1 2 1 3
1 1 1 2 1 1 1 3
3 1 1 2 3 1 1 3
1 3 2 1 1 2 1 3 2 1 1 3
1 1 1 3 1 2 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 3 1 2 2 1 1 3
```
In this task you are going to be given a sequence and your job will be to trace it back as far as you can to get a starting point. That is you are going to undo operations until you get a list of numbers that could not have been produced by run length encoding another list.
As some examples:
* `3 3 3` is not a possible run length encoding since it has an odd number of terms.
* `1 2 2 2` is not a possible run length encoding since expanding it out gives `2 2 2` which would be encoded as `3 2` instead.
As input you will receive a list of positive integers less than 4. You should output all the terms of the look-say sequence up to and including the input. Your output may be in forwards or backwards order.
There is one case where the input can be traced back indefinitely `2 2`. What your program does on this input is undefined behavior.
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'") the goal is to minimize the size of your source code as measured in bytes.

```
All one has to do is change the input in 1st row.
* 'x-varibale' - `CONCAT(1:1)` - Concatenate all values from row 1 into a string;
* 'y-variable' - `TOCOL(SCAN(x,SEQUENCE(1048575),LAMBDA(a,b,LET(c,SEQUENCE(LEN(a)/2,,,2),IF(ISODD(LEN(a)),NA(),CONCAT(REPT(MID(a,c+1,1),MID(a,c,1))))))),3)` - Will go over 1048575 possibilities (max rows in ms365 if one include the input at the end) and will get each number from every even position and repeat it n-times where n == its neighboring digit on the left;
* 'z-variable' - `MAP(y,LAMBDA(d,LET(e,SEQUENCE(LEN(d)),f,MID(d,e,1),g,TEXTSPLIT(CONCAT(f&IF(f<>MID(d,e+1,1),"|","")),"|",,1),CONCAT(LEN(g)&LEFT(g)))))` - Loop over elements from y and reverse it's value into it's logical predecessor;
* `MID(FILTER(VSTACK(x,y),VSTACK(1,z=VSTACK(x,DROP(y,-1)))),SEQUENCE(1,LEN(x)),1)` - Finally we can check each value against the elements in y and filter what is not a possible run length encoding string. All strings are then cut into seperate integers again.

The recursive function `i` simultaneously undoes the look-and-say sequence and also determines whether it's a valid sequence -- the last element of the return value is `1` if the sequence is valid and `0` if it's not.
This is then used in the main function `j` to undo the calculation until hitting a stopping point.

* The first element is `$_`, the list argument to the function.
* `*.flatmap(* Rxx *)` takes the previous element and `flatmap`s over it two elements at a time using the anonymous function `* Rxx *`. `Rxx` is the `R`eversed version of the replication operator `xx`; it produces a number of copies of its right-hand side given by its left-hand side.
* The termination condition is an anonymous function that returns true if `$_ % 2`--that is, if the number of elements in the last list is odd--or if `.[1, 3 ... *]`, the odd-indexed elements of the last list, satisfies the condition `any $_ Z== .skip`--that is, if any two adjacent elements are equal.

#### How?
Nothing clever here. Using `eval` because control structures in general and in particular concatenation of a list of strings or pairwise iteration over a list or chained comparisons are all rather verbose when done "the proper way" in Python.
The second, semi-legal version does away with a few stop conditions (like odd number of terms) because the function crashes at the right time anyway when any of these conditions are met.

[Question]

**This is a [cops-and-robbers](/questions/tagged/cops-and-robbers "show questions tagged 'cops-and-robbers'") challenge. The robbers' thread is [here](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/167597/hardcoding-the-cops-and-robbers-robbers).**
An interesting question to think about is the following:
>
> If I have a sequence of numbers how many of them do I have to provide before it is clear what sequence I am talking about?
>
>
>
For example if I want to talk about the positive integers in order starting from \$1\$, I could say \$1,2,3, \dots\$, but is that really enough?
I have one way of answering this question, and being a code-golfer it involves code-golf. You have provided enough terms of a sequence if the shortest code that produces those terms produces all the terms of the sequence. If we think about this in terms of code-golf, this would mean you have provided enough test cases such that the shortest code that passes the test-cases does the desired task.
## Challenge
This challenge is a [cops-and-robbers](/questions/tagged/cops-and-robbers "show questions tagged 'cops-and-robbers'") challenge. In which cops will be presenting test-cases and robbers will have to find a shorter way to spoof the test-cases other than the intended sequence. Cops will present the following things:
* A piece of code that takes a non-negative integer as input and produces an integer as output. This code will define your sequence. Your code does not need to support 0 as an input, opting to instead take 1 as the smallest input. It should be clear if this is the case in your answer.
* Any relevant platform or language requirements that might affect the output, for example the size of longint.
* A number \$n\$, along with the first \$n\$ terms of the sequence as calculated by the code. These will act as "test-cases".
You are encouraged to explain what your sequence does and link OEIS if it exists, however it is your code that defines the sequence not the description.
Robbers will be finding a program in the same language that is shorter than the one presented and passes all the test cases (produces the same output for the first \$n\$ inputs as the cop's code). The robber's code must also differ in output from the cop's program for some number larger than \$n\$.
Cops must be able to crack their own answers before submitting them.
After one week a cop *may* reveal their crack and mark their answer as Safe. Answers marked as such can no longer be cracked.
## Scoring
Cops answers will be scored by the number of bytes with fewer bytes being better. Cracked answers score an infinite score.

4 1234
5 12345
6 123456
7 1234567

```
Code explanation:
```
" Stringify sequence (join on "", remove it and see what happens)
:: Given input n, output all items in the sequence up to and including n
$ Each item in the sequence equals the index
```
So the sequence is `1,2,3,4,5 ...`, it is joined on `""` so it becomes `12345 ...`, and `::` means that it prints up to the input.

[Question]
[
A list of numbers is called [monotonically increasing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function) (or nondecreasing) is every element is greater than or equal to the element before it.
For example, `1, 1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 8, 10, 11, 14, 14` is monotonically increasing.
Given a monotonically increasing list of positive integers that has an arbitrary number of empty spots denoted by `?`, fill in the empty spots with positive integers such that as many unique integers as possible are present in the list, yet it remains monotonically increasing.
There may be multiple ways to accomplish this. Any is valid.
Output the resulting list.

All empty spots must be filled in.
There is no upper limit on integers that can be inserted. It's ok if very large integers are printed in scientific notation.
Zero is not a positive integer and should never be inserted.
In place of `?` you may use any consistent value that is not a positive integer, such as `0`, `-1`, `null`, `False`, or `""`.
**The shortest code in bytes wins.**

`f` takes a list and returns a list, with 0 representing `?`s.
```
f=scanr1 min.tail.scanl(#)0
m#0=m+1
_#n=n
```
Basically, first scan list from left, replacing 0s by one more than the previous element (or 0 at the start); then scan from right reducing too large elements to equal the one on their right.

Rest[{0,##}&@@#//.{a___,b_,,c___}:>{a,b,b+1,c}//.{a___,b_,c_,d___}/;b>c:>{a,c,c,d}]&
```
Pure function taking a list as argument, where the empty spots are denoted by `Null` (as in `{1, Null, Null, 2, Null}`) or deleted altogether (as in `{1, , , 2, }`), and returning a suitable list (in this case, `{1, 2, 2, 2, 3}`).
Turns out I'm using the same algorithm as in [Ørjan Johansen's Haskell answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/113013/56178): first replace every `Null` by one more than the number on its left (`//.{a___,b_,,c___}:>{a,b,b+1,c}`), then replace any too-large number by the number on its right (`//.{a___,b_,c_,d___}/;b>c:>{a,c,c,d}`). To deal with possible `Null`s at the beginning of the list, we start by prepending a `0` (`{0,##}&@@#`), doing the algorithm, then deleting the initial `0` (`Rest`).
Yes, I chose `Null` instead of `X` or something like that to save literally one byte in the code (the one that would otherwise be between the commas of `b_,,c___`).

### Explanation
We proceed in two passes. First, we replace every run of `?`s in the input with a sequence starting from the previous number in the list and increasing by one each time:
```
? 1 ? 1 2 ? 4 5 5 5 ? ? ? ? 8 10 11 ? 14 14 ? ?
1 1 2 1 2 3 4 5 5 5 6 7 8 9 8 10 11 12 14 14 15 16
```
Then we loop through again; for each number, we print the minimum of it and all numbers to its right. This brings the too-high numbers down to keep monotonicity.
```
y is initially "", which is 0 in numeric contexts
Stage 1:
{ }Mg Map this function to list of cmdline args g:
+a Convert item to number: 0 (falsey) if ?, else nonzero (truthy)

### How?
Lots of prefixes and suffixes.
We want to perform a two-step process that goes like this:
```
[0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0]
[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5]
[1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5]
```
For the first step, we look at each prefix of the list:
```
[0]
[0, 1]
[0, 1, 0]
...
[0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0]
```
We're going to map each prefix to what its last number *would* be if we had already completed step 1:
```
[1] -> 1
[1, 1] -> 1
[1, 1, 2] -> 2
...
[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5] -> 5
```
Observe that nonzero final numbers stay the same, while final zeros are replaced with the result of counting up from the last previous nonzero number (or from 1, if there is no previous nonzero number). Since the list is nondecreasing, the last previous nonzero number is simply the max of the prefix, so our calculation boils down to (max value) + (number of trailing 0s). We collect all the results in a list, and step 1 is completed.
For step 2, we simply take each suffix of the step 1 result and replace it with its minimum.
### Code with explanation
```
Ė|a₀ᶠ⟨{a₁+0}ᶜ+⌉⟩ᵐa₁ᶠ⌋ᵐ
Ė If input is empty list, output is empty list
| Otherwise
a₀ᶠ Find all (nonempty) prefixes of input list
ᵐ For each prefix:
Find how many 0s it ends with:
{ }ᶜ Count the number of ways to satisfy this predicate:
a₁ Get a suffix
+ whose sum
0 is 0
The numbers are nonnegative, so this means they are all 0
⌉ Get the maximum number in the prefix
⟨ + ⟩ Add that to the number of trailing 0s
a₁ᶠ Find all (nonempty) suffixes of the resulting list
⌋ᵐ Take the minimum of each

* Assumes ? = 0.
* Inserts a 0 at the start of the array in case of ? at start.
* Scans the array replacing 0 with 1+previous element.
* Reverses the array and scans again, replacing elements greater than
previous element with previous element.
* Reverses and cuts the first element out (the added 0 from the
beginning).
Use of min vs last was used to save one byte, since can assume the last element will be the min element given the descending sort of the array.

[Question]

This task is about compressing and processing a sequence of conditionals.
---
In the game [Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes](http://www.keeptalkinggame.com/), a bomb defuser must disarm a bomb with the help of instructions relayed by experts consulting a convoluted [Bomb Defusal Manual](http://www.bombmanual.com/manual/1/pdf/Bomb-Defusal-Manual_1.pdf). This challenge deals with the module "On the Subject of Wires", explained on page 5 of the manual. The defuser is presented with an array of colored wires. Only one of them is safe to cut -- the rest detonate the bomb.
Your code acts as the expert to determine which wire to cut based on the number and colors of the wires, as per the instructions in the manual reproduced under "Wire cutting rules".
**Input:** An ordered list or string of 3, 4, 5, or 6 wire colors, represented by uppercase letters:
* `B`: Black
* `U`: Blue
* `R`: Red
* `W`: White
* `Y`: Yellow
Note that blue is `U`, not `B`.
The input also includes a bit (True/False or 0/1) for whether the last digit of the bomb's serial number is odd, a condition used in some rules.
You should not take the number of wires as a separate input, but derive it from the list or string of colors. You may have your list or string have a terminator element after the colors, perhaps if your language cannot tell how long it is. This terminator should be a fixed value that doesn't encode additional information.
**Output:** A number 1 through 6, indicating which wire to cut. This may not be zero-indexed.
**Wire cutting rules:** These rules are reproduced from page 5 of [the defusal manual](http://www.bombmanual.com/manual/1/pdf/Bomb-Defusal-Manual_1.pdf)
```
3 wires:
If there are no red wires, cut the second wire.
Otherwise, if the last wire is white, cut the last wire.
Otherwise, if there is more than one blue wire, cut the last blue wire.
Otherwise, cut the last wire.
4 wires:
If there is more than one red wire and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut the last red wire.
Otherwise, if the last wire is yellow and there are no red wires, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one blue wire, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if there is more than one yellow wire, cut the last wire.
Otherwise, cut the second wire.
5 wires:
If the last wire is black and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut the fourth wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one red wire and there is more than one yellow wire, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if there are no black wires, cut the second wire.
Otherwise, cut the first wire.
6 wires:
If there are no yellow wires and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut the third wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one yellow wire and there is more than one white wire, cut the fourth wire.
Otherwise, if there are no red wires, cut the last wire.

Takes the list of wires `w` and the flag `o` in currying syntax `(w)(o)`.
```
w=>o=>(([,,C,D,E,F]=w).map(c=>eval(c+`=${++i}+`+c),i=B=U=R=W=Y=''),F?!Y&o?3:7/Y&7&&W>7||R?4:6:E?E<'C'&o?4:7/R&7&&Y>7||B?1:2:D?R>7&o?+R[0]:D>'X'&!R|7/U&7?1:Y>7?4:2:!R?2:U<7?3:+U[0])
```
### How?
For each color, we build a string representing the list of 1-based indices at which this color is found, from last to first position.
For instance, the last test case `['Y', 'Y', 'R', 'Y', 'U', 'W']` will be translated as:
* **B = ''**
* **U = '5'**
* **R = '3'**
* **W = '6'**
* **Y = '421'**
These variables provide enough information to process all rules in a rather short format, except tests on specific wires which are performed on the destructured input list `[, , C, D, E, F]`.
```
Rule | Code
----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
no X wires | !X
more than one X wire | X>7
exactly one X wire | 7/X&7
position of last X wire (1-based) | +X[0]
(N+1)th wire is X (1-based) | w[N]=='X' (where w[N] is replaced by C, D, E or F)
```
### Test cases
```
let f =
w=>o=>(([,,C,D,E,F]=w).map(c=>eval(c+`=${++i}+`+c),i=B=U=R=W=Y=''),F?!Y&o?3:7/Y&7&&W>7||R?4:6:E?E<'C'&o?4:7/R&7&&Y>7||B?1:2:D?R>7&o?+R[0]:D>'X'&!R|7/U&7?1:Y>7?4:2:!R?2:U<7?3:+U[0])
let passed = 0
let test = (a, r) => passed += (f(a[0])(a[1]) === r)
test([['B', 'B', 'B'], false], 2)
test([['B', 'B', 'Y'], true ], 2)
test([['B', 'R', 'R'], false], 3)
test([['B', 'W', 'U'], true ], 2)

Thanks to nore for [pointing out](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/125665/which-wire-to-cut#comment310352_125665) that the second three-wire condition doesn't matter.
```
3 wires: 2+(r>0<s!='UUR')
4 wires: [r<1<l>'X'or u==1or y/2*2+2,1+s.rfind('R')][o*r>1]
5 wires: [r==1<y or-~0**b,4][l<'C'*o]
6 wires: [4+2*(1>r+(y==1<w)),3][y<o]
```
Many techniques are mixed together to do the condition logic:
* [Selecting from two list elements](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/62/20260)
* [Arithmetic selection](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/40795/20260)
* Boolean multiplication for logical-and
* Chaining inequalities for logical-and
* Using `or` to move past a false condition

A horrid mess! Takes input with the wires listed with no delimiter followed by a 1 for odd and a zero for even. I verified that it matches all the test cases given. Currently each stage (pair of lines) pretty much just encodes one rule. The main save is in the third stage where the cases where the last blue wire is the third wire can be saved by the "else" condition.

### Explanation
This assumes that the input will be an ordered list.
Saved bytes by storing the logical array of where the Red and Blue wires were.
The logical array can be summed to count the number of wires of that color and be used to find the last red and last blue wire index.
Storing the function sum as s saved bytes due to the number of times it was called.
Converting the number of wires to a character for the switch statement was done using paste, which is less bytes than as.character()
Initializing the variable v, the number of the wire to cut,to 4 before switch statement allows for the me not to have to add that statement each time the wire number is 4.
For length of 4 the second and third conditions can be combined with an or statement to reduce the numbers of ifelse since they evaluate to the same wire to cut.

[Question]
[
[Merge sort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort) is a sorting algorithm which works by splitting a given list in half, recursively sorting both smaller lists, and merging them back together to one sorted list. The base case of the recursion is arriving at a singleton list, which cannot be split further but is per definition already sorted.
The execution of the algorithm on the list `[1,7,6,3,3,2,5]` can be visualized in the following way:
```
[1,7,6,3,3,2,5]
/ \ split
[1,7,6,3] [3,2,5]
/ \ / \ split
[1,7] [6,3] [3,2] [5]
/ \ / \ / \ | split
[1] [7] [6] [3] [3] [2] [5]
\ / \ / \ / | merge
[1,7] [3,6] [2,3] [5]
\ / \ / merge
[1,3,6,7] [2,3,5]
\ / merge
[1,2,3,3,5,6,7]
```
# The Task
Write a program or function which takes a list of integers in any reasonable way as input and visualizes the different partitions of this list while being sorted by a merge sort algorithm. This means you **don't** have to output a graph like above, but just the lists are fine:
```
[1,7,6,3,3,2,5]
[1,7,6,3][3,2,5]
[1,7][6,3][3,2][5]
[1][7][6][3][3][2][5]
[1,7][3,6][2,3][5]
[1,3,6,7][2,3,5]
[1,2,3,3,5,6,7]
```
Furthermore, any reasonable list notation is fine, therefore the following would also be a valid output:
```
1 7 6 3 3 2 5
1 7 6 3|3 2 5
1 7|6 3|3 2|5
1|7|6|3|3|2|5
1 7|3 6|2 3|5
1 3 6 7|2 3 5
1 2 3 3 5 6 7
```
Finally, the way to split a list in two smaller lists is up to you as long as the length of both resulting lists differs at most by one. That means instead of splitting `[3,2,4,3,7]` into `[3,2,4]` and `[3,7]`, you could also split by taking elements at even and odd indexes (`[3,4,7]` and `[2,3]`) or even randomize the split every time.
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest code *in any language* measured in bytes wins.
### Test cases
As noted above, the actual format and the way to split lists in half is up to you.

Splitting the lists into the odd and the even positioned elements is a shorter code than into the two sequential halves, because we're spared having to measure the `length`, then.
Works by "printing" the lists, then recursing with the split lists (`x >>= h`) *if* there actually was any splitting done, and "printing" the sorted lists; starting with the one input list; assuming the non-empty input. And instead of actual printing, just *collecting* them in a list.
The list produced by `g[[6,5..1]]`, printed line-by-line, is:
```
[[6,5,4,3,2,1]]
[[6,4,2],[5,3,1]]
[[6,2],[4],[5,1],[3]]

Returns a `List` that contains the steps.
## Explanation
```
#/.a:{_,b=__Integer}:>TakeDrop[a,;;;;2]&
```
In an input, split all `List`s containing 2 or more integers in half. The first sublist has the odd-indexed elements (1-indexed), and the second one has the even-indexed elements.
```
u=Most[... &~FixedPointList~#]
```
Repeat that until nothing changes (i.e. all sublists are length-1). Keep all intermediate results. Store this (the `List` of all steps) in `u`.
```
Reverse@Most@u
```
Drop the last element of `u` and reverse it.
```
... /.a:{b}:>Sort@a
```
From the result above, sort all occurrences of a list of integers.

Saved 4 bytes by using `Pop` to double iterate over an array. Saved 3 bytes by using concatenation instead of `Push`. Saved 10 bytes by coming up with a golfier `while` condition that also avoids a Charcoal bug. Saved 1 byte by discovering that Charcoal does indeed have a filter operator. Explanation:
```
≔⟦⪪Ｓ ⟧θ
```
Split the input on spaces, and then wrap the result in an outer array, saving that to `q`.
```
Ｗ⊖Ｌ§θ⁰«
```
Repeat while the first element of `q` has more than one element. (The first element of `q` always has the most elements because of the way the lists are divided into two.)
```
⟦⪫Ｅθ⪫κ ¦|⟧
```
Print the elements of `q` joined with spaces and vertical lines. (The array causes the result to print on its own line. There are other ways of achieving this for the same byte count.)
```
≔ＥＥ⊗Ｌθ§θ÷λ²✂κ﹪λ²Ｌκ²θ»
```
Create a list by duplicating each element of `q`, then map over that list and take half of each list (using the alternate element approach), saving the result back in `q`.
```
⟦⪫ΦＥθ⪫ι ι|⟧
```
Print the elements of `q` joined with spaces and vertical lines. Actually, at this point the elements of `q` are either empty or single-element lists, so joining them just converts them to empty strings or their elements. The empty strings would add unnecessary trailing lines so they are filtered out. A flatten operator would have been golfier though (something like `⟦⪫Σθ|⟧`).
```
Ｗ⊖Ｌθ«
```
Repeat while `q` has more than one element. (The following code requires an even number of elements.)
```
≔⮌θη≔⟦⟧θ
```
Copy `q` to `h`, but reversed (see below), and reset `q` to an empty list.
```
Ｗη«
```
Repeat until `h` is empty.
```
≔⊟ηε
```
Extract the next element of `h` into `e`. (`Pop` extracts from the end, which is why I have to reverse `q`.)
```
≔⟦⟧ζ
```
Initialise `z` to an empty list.
```
Ｆ⊟η«
```
Loop over the elements of the next element of `h`.
```
≔εδ≔⟦⟧ε
```
Copy `e` to `d` and reset `e` to an empty list.
```
Ｆδ
```
Loop over the elements of `d`.
```
⊞⎇‹ＩμＩλζεμ
```
Push them to `z` or `e` depending on whether they are smaller than the current element of the next element of `h`.
```
⊞ζλ»
```
Push the current element of the next element of `h` to `z`.
```
⊞θ⁺ζε»
```
Concatenate `z` with any elements remaining in `e` and push that to `q`. This completes the merge of two elements of `h`.
```
⟦⪫Ｅθ⪫κ ¦|
```
Print the elements of `q` joined with spaces and vertical lines.

¡ Iterate this function on A:

[[4,17],[32,1]],
[[4],[17],[32],[1]],
[[4],[],[17],[],[32],[],[1],[]],
...
mfL Map filter by length, removing empty arrays.
Result is [[[4,17,32,1]],
[[4,17],[32,1]],
[[4],[17],[32],[1]],
[[4],[17],[32],[1]],
...
U Longest prefix of unique elements:
P = [[[4,17,32,1]],[[4,17],[32,1]],[[4],[17],[32],[1]]]
h Remove last element: [[[4,17,32,1]],[[4,17],[32,1]]]
↔ Reverse: [[[4,17],[32,1]],[[4,17,32,1]]]
†O Sort each inner array: [[[4,17],[1,32]],[[1,4,17,32]]]
S+ȯ Concatenate to P:
[[[4,17,32,1]],
[[4,17],[32,1]],
[[4],[17],[32],[1]],
[[4,17],[1,32]],
[[1,4,17,32]]]
Implicitly print.
```
The built-in `½` takes an array and splits it at the middle.
If its length is odd, the first part is longer by one element.
A singleton array `[a]` results in `[[a],[]]` and an empty array `[]` gives `[[],[]]`, so it's necessary to remove the empty arrays before applying `U`.

```
{c{Jm'|*Pc{2Mm:f{fc{Dm$wW{{eoJm'|*P
```
## Explanation
The code can be splitted to two parts. The first part visualizes splitting and the second visualizes merging.
Code for visualizing splitting:
```
{ w Do the following while the block generates a true value
c Copy current nested array for printing
{Jm Use spaces to join elements in each part
'|* And join different parts with vertical bar
P Pop and print
c Copy current nested array for splitting
{2Mm Separate each element of the array to two smaller parts with almost the same size
That is, if the number of elements is even, partition it evenly.
Otherwise, the first part will have one more element than the second.
:f Flatten the array once
{f Remove elements that are empty arrays
c Copy the result for checking
{Dm$ Is the array solely composed of singletons?
If yes, ends the loop.
```
The code for visualizing merging:
```
W Execute the rest of the program until the stack is empty
{{eoJm For each part, sort by numeric value, then join with space
'|* Join the parts with vertical bar
P Pop and print the result
```
## Old version, actually building the nested list structure.
```
{{cc0+=!{x!}Mm',*:}}Xd;%v:2^^{;s~{c^;<~sc%v,*{2M{s^y!svsm}M}YZ!x!Q,dmU@e;%v:2^{;%v:2^-N~0{c;={scc0+=Cc%v!C:f{o}{scc0+=C{s^y!svsm}?}Y!cx!P,dcm
```
`cc0+=` is used thrice in the code to check whether the top of stack is a scalar or an array.
`{{cc0+=!{x!}Mm',*:}}X` builds a block that recursively calls itself to output a nested array of numbers properly. (Default output in Stax vectorizes a nested array before printing).
```
{ }X Store the code block in X
{ m Map each element in the list with block
cc Make two copies of the element
0+ + 0. If the element is a scalar, nothing will change
If the element is an array, the element 0 will be appended
=!{ }M If the element has changed after the `0+` operation
Which means it is an array
x! Recursively execute the whole code block on the element
',* Join the mapped elements with comma
:} Bracerizes the final result
```
There are two other blocks that performs the splitting and the merging, respectively. They are too verbose and I don't care to explain (there are a little bit more information in the historical version of this post but don't expect too much).

[Question]
[
Most common computer [keyboard layouts](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout) have the decimal digit keys
`1``2``3``4``5``6``7``8``9``0`
running along at their top, above the keys for letters.
Let a decimal digit's *neighborhood* be the set of digits from its own digit key and from the digit keys immediately to the left and right, if they exist.
For example, the neighborhood of 0 is `{0, 9}`, and the neighborhood of 5 is `{4, 5, 6}`.
Now, define a ***keyboard friendly number*** as a positive integer (in decimal form with no leading zeros) that can be typed on the layout above such that every consecutive digit in the number after the first digit is in the neighborhood of the preceding digit.
* All single digit numbers (1-9) are trivially keyboard friendly.
* A number such as 22321 is keyboard friendly because every digit (not counting the first) is in the neighborhood of the digit just before.
* A number such as 1245 is **not** keyboard friendly because 4 is not in the neighborhood of 2 (nor vice versa).
* A number such as 109 is **not** keyboard friendly because 0 is not in the neighborhood of 1. The ends do not loop around.
By putting the keyboard friendly numbers in order from smallest to largest, we can create an [integer sequence](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sequence).

# Challenge
Write a program or function that takes a positive integer N (via stdin/command line/function arg) and prints (to stdout) or returns the Nth term in the keyboard friendly numbers sequence.
For example, if the input is `191`, the output should be `4544`.
The output may optionally have a single trailing newline.
**The shortest submission in bytes wins.**

```
[Demonstration.](https://pyth.herokuapp.com/?code=uf!f%2Fh-FY3.%3Ametsd%60T2hGQ0&input=191&debug=0)
Improvements to the original:
* Using `metd`, instead of `.r ... _UJ`: 2 less bytes. 1 direct, 1 for not having to use J.
* Using `s` and ``T` instead of `JT10`: 1 less byte.
---
We start with the string representation of a number: ``T`.
Then, we convert the string to a list of digits, and rotate the digits digits backwards by one, (9876543210) with `metsd`. Then, we take the 2 element subsequences with `.: ... 2`. These subsequences are filtered on `/h-FY3`. This expression corresponds to `((a-b)+1)/3`, which is zero if and only if the difference between `a` and `b` is at most 1. Thus, the filtered list will be empty if and only if the number is keyboard friendly. With `!`, the result is true only if the number is keyboard friendly.
`f ... hG` filters upwards from `G+1` until the result is true, giving the first keyboard friendly number at `G+1` or above. `u ... Q0` applies this function to its own output `Q` times, starting from 0, where `Q` is the input. This gives the `Q`th Keyboard Friendly Number, as desired.

```
We keep track of the count of friendly numbers still needed to find in `n` and the last checked number in `k`.

([x|x<-[0..],all((<2).abs)$zipWith(-)=<<tail$[mod(1+fromEnum c)10|c<-show x]]!!)
```
This is a function without a name. To use it, call it with a parameter, e.g.:`([x|x<-[0..],all((<2).abs)$zipWith(-)=<<tail$[mod(1+fromEnum c)10|c<-show x]]!!) 199` which returns `5432`.
How it works:
```
[x|x<-[0..] ] make a list of all integers x starting with 0
, where
c<-show x each character in the string representation of x
mod(1+fromEnum c)10 turned into the number '(ascii+1) mod 10'
zipWith(-)=<<tail then turned into a list of differences between neighbor elements
all((<2).abs) only contains elements with an absolute value less than 2
!! ... take the element given by the parameter (!! is 0
based, that's why I'm starting the initial list with 0)

[Question]
[
[Sandboxed](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/17913/75681)
Given a set of closed non-overlapping 2d contours (separated by at least one space even on diagonals) with arrows oriented consistently in the same clockwise or counter-clockwise direction (each contour has its own direction) and a positive number `n`, move the arrows `n` steps along the contours in the respective direction.
The arrows are represented by `> v < ^` respectively for right, down, left and up directions. There the other characters are `-` (horizontal), `|` (vertical) and `+` (corner).
When an arrow is on a corner, it keeps its current direction and changes it only after the turn is taken.
There will always be a straight segment (or a space) between any two corners (like `+-+` for the horizontal and similar for the vertical) - in other words the sharp `U` turns are forbidden. The segments between the corners are either vertical or horizontal and the bend at a corner is always 90 degree.
# Input:
* a positive integer - `n` - number of steps
* an ASCII representation of the contours - it can be a multiline string, a list of strings, a list of characters and so on.
# Output:
The same contours with all arrows shifted `n` steps in each contour's overall direction.

### Wrapper
The recursive function \$g\$ is just used as a wrapper that invokes the main code to move all arrows by 1 step and keeps calling itself with \$n-1\$ until \$n=0\$.
### Update method
We can't safely move each arrow one at a time because we would run the risk of overwriting non-updated arrows with updated ones. Instead, we first remove all arrows and compute their new positions. We apply the new positions in a second time.
This is done by re-using \$n\$ as a string to store the position updates as JS code.
For instance, in the first test case, \$n\$ is set to:
```
"1;m[0][7]=S[2];m[1][8]=S[3];m[2][9]=S[2];m[4][3]=S[0]"
```
(Note that the leading number -- which is the original value of \$n\$ -- is harmless.)
The new positions are applied by just doing `eval(n)`.
### Directions
Each arrow is converted into a direction \$d\$ (named `$` in the code), using the following compass:
$$\begin{matrix}
&1\\
0&+&2\\
&3
\end{matrix}$$
The corresponding values of \$dx\$ and \$dy\$ are computed this way:
```
d | dx = (d - 1) % 2 | dy = (d - 2) % 2
---+------------------+------------------
0 | -1 | 0
1 | 0 | -1
2 | +1 | 0
3 | 0 | +1
```
### Corners
If the next character in the identified direction is a space or is out of bounds, it means that we're located on a corner and we need to take a 90° or 270° turn. This is why the helper function \$h\$ is testing up to 3 distinct directions: \$d\$, \$d\operatorname{xor}1\$ and \$d\operatorname{xor}3\$.
If we're located on a corner, we overwrite the cell with `+`. Otherwise, we overwrite it with either `-` or `|`, depending on the parity of \$d\$.
**Note**: The parameter of \$h\$ is not named `$` just because it looks uber l33t but also because it allows us to compare a given character with \$h\$ (implicitly coerced to a string) to know if it's a space (below `"$"`), a contour character (above `"$"`) or another arrow (also above `"$"`).

[Question]
[
## Introduction
Help! I accidentally dropped my TI-84 calculator out my window (don't ask how) and it broke. I have a math test tomorrow and the only calculator I can find is one with these buttons:
```
7 8 9 +
4 5 6 -
1 2 3 *
0 = /
```
My math test is a review test on evaluating expressions. I need a program to take an expression such as `1+(5*4)/7` and convert it to the keystrokes needed to solve it on my spare calculator. (And in case you were wondering, this actually happened to me).
## Challenge
Given a non-empty input string containing *only* the characters `0-9`, `(`, `)`, `+`, `-`, `*`, and `/`, output the keystrokes in a space-separated string (eg. `1 + 3 / 3 =`). There must always be an equal sign at the end of the output. Standard loopholes are not allowed.
Examples:
* Input: `1+(5*4)/7`, Output: `5 * 4 / 7 + 1 =`
* Input: `6*(2/3)`, Output: `2 / 3 * 6 =`
* Input: `(7-3)/2`, Output: `7 - 3 / 2 =`
### To make this challenge easier:
* You may assume that the input has a series of keystrokes linked to it that does not require clearing the calculator (`1-(7*3)` is not valid since it would require you to find `7 * 3`, then clear the calculator to do `1 - 21`. All the above examples are valid since there is one, continuous output that does not require the user to clear the calculator and remember a number).
* You may assume that there will only be a single integer after a `/`, as having an input such as `21/(7*3)` would not pass the first assumption either.
* You may assume that there will always be a `*` between an integer and a left parentheses (Valid: `6*(7)`, Invalid: `6(7)`).
* You may assume the input always produces integer output.
* You may assume the input only has three levels of parentheses.
Non-examples
* `2-(14/2)` as you would have to do `14 / 2`, then *clear*, then `2 - 7`.
* `36/(2*3)` as you would have to do `2 * 3`, then *clear*, then `36 / 6`.
* `1024*4/(1*2+2)` as you would have to do `1*2+2`, then *clear*, then `1024 * 4 / 4`.
## Bonuses
* **-5%** if your program can recognize parentheses multiplication (it knows that `6(7)=6*(7)`).
* **-5%** if your program can handle input with decimal numbers (`3.4`, `2.75`, `7.8`) and the output includes `.` (as there must be a `.` key on my spare calculator in this case).
* **-5%** if your program can handle unlimited levels of parentheses.
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), shortest code in bytes (including the bonuses) wins!
## Leaderboards
Here is a Stack Snippet to generate both a regular leaderboard and an overview of winners by language.
To make sure that your answer shows up, please start your answer with a headline, using the following Markdown template:
```
## Language Name, N bytes
```
where `N` is the size of your submission. If you improve your score, you *can* keep old scores in the headline, by striking them through. For instance:
```
## Ruby, <s>104</s> <s>101</s> 96 bytes
```
If there you want to include multiple numbers in your header (e.g. because your score is the sum of two files or you want to list interpreter flag penalties separately), make sure that the actual score is the *last* number in the header:
```
## Perl, 43 + 2 (-p flag) = 45 bytes
```
You can also make the language name a link which will then show up in the leaderboard snippet:
```
## [><>](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish), 121 bytes

# TI-BASIC, 605.2 bytes
Eligible for lirtosiast's TI-BASIC bounty under [**Fitting but Unsuitable Languages**](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/8219/31957).
Qualifies for all 3 bonuses, `712 - 15% = 605.2`. There are some golfing opportunities here and there, but I wanted to get this out first, as some of the potential golfs are non-trivial. Please note that TI-BASIC is a tokenized language, and the below is a textual representation of that program. Thus, the program is *not* 1182 bytes, since this program is not encoded under UTF-8. Note that `~` is equivalent to unary negation and `->` to the `STO>` operator. Output is a string, retrievable from `Ans` or `Str1`.
The below program is the result of a few programmer hours thinking and programming, spread over the course of a few weeks.
```

```
## General explanation
Here's the key I worked with while developing the program:
```
Str1 The input string.
Str2 Counter variable (e.g. current character)
Str3 The current token being built.
L1 The operator stack
L2 The output queue
L3 Temporary list
L4 Temporary list
I Iterator index
T Type of token (enum)
S Type of previous token (enum)
M Temporary variable
C Conditional variable
Token Types (T)
0 Undefined
1 Number
2 Operator
3 Open Parenthesis
Operator Elements
0 left parenthesis ("(")
1 multiplication ("*")
2 addition ("+")
3 division ("/")
4 subtraction ("-")
5 right parenthesis (")")
Precedence Rule: Remainder(prec, levelno)
0 - add, sub
1 - mul, div
(levelno = 2)
```
And here is the equivalent, hand-written JavaScript code I used to test and develop this program.
```
let Str1, Str2, Str3, L1, L2, I, S, T, M, C;
let error = (type, ...args) => {
let message = "ERR:" + type + " (" + args.join("; ") + ")";
throw new Error(message);
};
let isInteger = (n) => n == Math.floor(n);
let inString = (haystack, needle, start=1) => {
if(start < 1 || !isInteger(start)) {
error("DOMAIN", haystacak, needle, start);
}
let index = haystack.indexOf(needle, start - 1);
return index + 1;
};
let sub = (string, start, length) => {
if(start < 1 || length < 1 || !isInteger(start) || !isInteger(length)) {
error("DOMAIN", string, start, length);
}
if(start + length > string.length + 1) {
error("INVALID DIM", string, start, length);
}
return string.substr(start - 1, length);
}
let fPart = (value) => value - Math.floor(value);

I like making dank memes out of my own images. But all those so called "quick meme" sites just have *too much code*. I realized that the only way to make the dankest meme generator is to ask you guys at PPCG to golf one for me. So let me give you the low down on what you have to do.
# Specs
* Take an image as input as a file name, image object, etc. to make a meme out of.
* Then take two strings for top text and bottom text (with no line breaks).
* Render the text on the image in size 22pt Impact white font with 5px black outline (You can assume Impact is installed.
* The text should be centered horizontally.
* You can assume the text fits horizontally.
* The respective texts should be 10px from the top and 8px from the bottom.
* Then output the image by saving in a file, displaying, etc.
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so shortest code in **bytes** wins!
Happy Memeing!

[Question]
[
You are paddling a canoe down a fairly fast whitewater river. Suddenly, your paddles explode, and you find yourself in a dangerous situation hurtling down a river rapid without any paddles. Luckily, you still have your programming skills, so you decide to carve a program on the side of your canoe to help you survive the rapids. However, there is not much surface area on the side of the canoe to write your program with, so you must make the program as short as possible.
The river can be represented as an 8 by 16 grid. We will label the columns with the numbers `0` to `7` and the rows with the numbers `0` to `15`.
```
y
--------15
--------14
--------13
--------12
--------11
--------10
--------9
--------8
--------7
--------6
--------5
--------4
--------3
--------2

*Above: A completely calm, ordinary river with no obstructions. Naturally, this is not the river you are on.*
You begin at the coordinate (4, 0) and from there move uncontrollably up the river (i.e. the vector `(0,1)`) until you hit a rock (represented by an `o` in these examples). When you hit a rock, you will have a 55% chance of moving past the rock to the left (i.e. the vector `(-1,1)`) and a 45% chance of moving past the rock to the right (i.e. the vector `(1,1)`). If the canoe is on the far left or right columns, it will always move towards the centre. If there are no rocks, it will move straight upwards.
```

01234567
```
*Above: A possible route the canoe might take, represented using the character `x`*
Given the map of the river, write a program that will output the probability of the canoe finishing at a given column.
Accept input in whichever method is convenient for your program (e.g. STDIN, command line argument, `raw_input()`, reading from a file, etc). The first part of the input is a single integer from 0 to 7, representing the column the program will find the probability for. Following that is a list of tuples in the form `x,y` representing the position of the stones.
An example:
Input:
```
4 4,1 5,5 3,5
```
This would indicate a river with rocks at the positions (4,1), (5,5), and (3,5), and asks for the probability of the canoe ending at the 4th column.
Output:
```
0.495
```
Note that in this example, the positions of the rocks were symmetrical, allowing the problem to be solved with a binomial distribution. This won't always be the case!
Also, the river will always be crossable. That is, there will never be two rocks that are positioned adjacent to each other horizontally. See [Glenn's comment](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/36337/extreme-whitewater-canoeing#comment81244_36337) for an example of an impossible case.
This is code golf, so lowest number of characters wins. Feel free to ask questions in the comments if the specification isn't clear.

c,*r=gets.split
o=[0]*8
s=->x,y,p{y>14?o[x]+=p :(r.index("#{x},#{y+=1}")?(x<1?s[x+1,y,p]:(x>6?s[x-1,y,p]:(s[x-1,y,p*0.55]+s[x+1,y,p*0.45]))):s[x,y,p])}
s[4,0,1]
p o[c.to_i]
```
It recursively simulates all possibly outcomes while keeping track of each individual outcome's probability, then it adds that probability to a cumulative counter when `y == 15`.
Fancy tricks:
* `c,*r=gets.split` - the "splat" operator (`*`) takes all the remaining elements of `gets.split` and sticks them in the `r` array
* ~~`next {something} if {condition}`: essentially equivalent to~~
```
if {condition}
{something}
return
end
```
"Discovered" by evolving from `if condition; something; return; end` to `return something if condition` to `break something if condition`, and then I figured I would try a shorter "loop operator" to see if it would work (which it did, of course).
* Thanks to @MartinBüttner for suggesting to use chained ternary operators (which ended up becoming the enormous third line in the golfed code above) and eliminating the above point (which saved 19 (!) characters).
I did use a somewhat fancy trick with those, though: I realized that `s[foo],s[bar]` doesn't work in Ruby for two method calls in one statement. So at first I changed it to `(_=s[foo],s[bar])` (a dummy variable), but then I realized I could just add and throw away the return values: `s[foo]+s[bar]`. This only works because calls to `s` will only ever "return" other calls to `s` or a number (`o[x]+=p`), so I don't have to worry about checking for `nil`.
* Other various optimizations: `p` instead of `puts` for printing numbers, `<1` instead of `==0` (since the canoe never leaves the river) and similar comparisons elsewhere, `[0]*8` for initial probabilities as Ruby's numbers are always "pass by value"
Ungolfed:
```
column, *rocks = gets.chomp.split
outcomes = Array.new(8, 0)
simulate = -> x, y, probability {
if y == 15
outcomes[x] += probability
elsif rocks.index("#{x},#{y + 1}")
case x
when 0 then simulate[x + 1, y + 1, probability]
when 7 then simulate[x - 1, y + 1, probability]
else
simulate[x - 1, y + 1, probability * 0.55]
simulate[x + 1, y + 1, probability * 0.45]
end
else
simulate[x, y + 1, probability]
end
}
simulate[4, 0, 1.0]
p outcomes
puts outcomes[column.to_i]

Here is a very ungolfed version along with some tricks that were used:

-- Types to represent the distribution for the canoe's location
type Prob = Double
type Distribution = [Prob]
-- Just for clarity..
type Index = Int
-- An Action describes some change to the probability distribution
-- which represents the canoe's location.
type Action = Distribution -> Distribution
-- Helper to add k to the nth element of x, since we don't have mutable lists.
add :: Index -> Prob -> Action
add n k x = take n x ++ [p] ++ drop (n + 1) x
where p = k + x!!n
-- A trick for going finding the index to the left of n,
-- taking the boundary condition into account.
leftFrom n = abs (n - 1)
-- A trick for getting the other boundary condition cheaply.
rightFrom = mirror . leftFrom . mirror
where mirror = (7 -)
-- Make the action corresponding to a rock at index n.
doRock :: Index -> Action
doRock n p = (goLeft . goRight . dontGoForward) p
where goLeft = (leftFrom n) `add` (p_n * 11/20)
goRight = (rightFrom n) `add` (p_n * 9/20)
dontGoForward = (at n) `add` (-p_n)
p_n = p!!n
at = id
initialProb = [0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0]
-- Parse a pair "3,2" ==> (3,2)
readPair :: String -> (Index,Index)
readPair xy = read $ "(" ++ xy ++ ")"
-- Coordinate swap for the sorting trick described below.
swap (x,y) = (y,x)
-- Put it all together and let it rip!
main = do
input <- getLine
let (idx : pairs) = words input
let coords = reverse . sort $ map (swap . readPair) pairs
let rockActions = map (doRock . snd) coords
let finalProb = (foldl1 (.) rockActions) initialProb
print $ (finalProb !! read idx)
```
The last trick I used was to note that you can act as if rocks in a single row are actually separated by some infinitesimal amount. In other words, you can apply the probability distribution transformer for each rock in the same row sequentially and in whatever order you want, rather than applying them all simultaneously. This only works because the problem disallows two horizontally adjacent rocks.
So the program turns each rock's location into a probability distribution transformer, ordered by the rock's y coordinate. The transformers are then just chained in order and applied to the initial probability distribution. And that's that!

# Haskell, 237
I just hope the canoe comes with ghc installed...
The trick with the infinite list is stolen from Matt Noonan, kudos to him!
```
import Data.List
r=reverse
(a:b:x)%0=0:a+b:x
x%7=r(r x%0)
x%n=take(n-1)x++(x!!(n-1)+x!!n*0.55:0:x!!(n+1)+x!!n*0.45:drop(n+2)x)
q=0:0:0:0:1:q
u(w:x)=(foldl(%)q.map last.sort.map(r.read.('[':).(++"]"))$x)!!read w
main=interact$show.u.words
```
I hope I got the logic right, but Matt's example `"5 4,4 1,5 5,3 3,6 2,9 4,12 3,13"` yields `0.5613750000000001` and OP's example `"4 4,1 5,5 3,5"` yields `0.49500000000000005`, which seems to be correct apart from some floating point errors.
Here it is in action:
```

Pretty straight forward, implicitly uses columns -1 and 8 to smoothen border cases. Probabilities can safely be propagated to each next level because there arent any adjacent stones, thus a single run suffices.

I can't read/write GolfScript to save my life, but glancing over @Howard's submission pointed me in a better direction than simply simulating 1 million canoe accidents.
Starting with an array of probabilities for starting positions we can simply split those numbers each time a rock is encountered.
```
function psplit($i){ return array(.55*$i,.45*$i); }
function pt($a) {
foreach($a as $p) {
printf("%1.4f ", $p);
}
echo "\n";
}
$input = $argv[1];
$tmp = explode(' ',$input);
$end_target = array_shift($tmp);
$rocks = array();
array_map(function($a) use(&$rocks) {
list($x,$y) = explode(',',$a);
$rocks[$x][$y]=1;
}, $tmp);
$state = array(0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0);
pt($state);
for($y=1;$y<16;$y++){
for($x=0;$x<8;$x++){
if(isset($rocks[$x][$y])){
echo(' o ');
list($l,$r)=psplit($state[$x]);
$state[$x]=0;
$state[$x-1]+=$l;
$state[$x+1]+=$r;
} else { echo ' - '; }
}
echo "\n";
pt($state);
}
```

[Question]
[
You are going to be planting pumpkins soon, and you are preparing your supplies. Pumpkins come in all sorts of sizes and have their sizes written on the seed bag. A pumpkin that is size n will grow to be n units wide. However pumpkins need their space.
If a pumpkin is stuck between two other pumpkins with not enough space to reach its full size it will be ruined. So you want to make a program that takes a plan of how you are going to plant your pumpkins and determines if there is enough space for all the pumpkins.
As input it will take a list of non-negative integers. A zero will represent space with no pumpkins planted, and a positive number will represent that a pumpkin of that size will be planted there. So for example:
```
[0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,5,0,0,0,6,0,0]
```
There are three pumpkins planted here of sizes `1`, `5` and `6`.
A pumpkin will grow to fill as much space as is given, but it can't detach from it's root, and it can't grow past the fence (the start and end of the list).
So for example in the above the 5 pumpkin *could* grow as follows:
```
[0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,5,0,0,0,6,0,0]
^^^^^^^^^
```
Since that is 5 units wide and contains the place we planted it. But it *can't* grow like:
```
[0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,5,0,0,0,6,0,0]
^^^^^^^^^
```
Because even though that is 5 units wide it doesn't include the root.
In perhaps a miracle of nature, pumpkins will push each other out of the way if they get in space they need. So for example if the `5` starts growing to the right, the `6` will push it back to the left since it needs that space.
Ultimately this means if there is a valid way for the pumpkins to grow without ruining each other they will.
It's only when there isn't enough space at all will a pumpkin get ruined.
So in the example everything is ok, this plan works:
```
[0,0,0,1,0,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6]
```
But here:
```
[6,0,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0]
```
There's not enough space for the `6` to grow even when the `3` grows as far to the right as possible
## Task
Take as input a non-empty list of non-negative integers. Output whether that list is a working plan. You should output one of two distinct values if it is a working plan and the other if it is not.
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'") so the goal is to minimize the size of your source code as scored in bytes.

`s` represents the amount of tiles a pumpkin can grow. Negative values, such as `-2` mean that the pumpkin has two spaces to the left that it can grow. If `s` is positive, it means that this space will be occupied by a pumpkin, thus no pumpkins can grow.

## the idea
We'll devise an adjusted scan sum such that the number of zeros in that sum will tell us the number of possible fully grown pumpkins.
Example using `0 0 0 3 0 4 0 0 0`:
* First, subtract 1:
```
_1 _1 _1 2 _1 3 _1 _1 _1 (A)
```
* Also, note the locations of our input pumpkins seeds, as these indexes will require special treatment in our scan sum:
```
0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 (B)
```
* Now, consider the scan sum of A, but with a twist: If the sum is negative at one of the B locations, we'll reset it to 0:
```
_1 _2 _3 0 _1 2 1 0 _1
^
would be _1, but we reset it to 0
```
* Finally, realize what 0 means: It means a pumpkin has finished fitting into some available space. The zero reset reflects that in a configuration like:
```
0 0 0 0 3 0 2 input
0 0 3 3 3 2 2 grown pumpkins
_1 _1 _1 _1 2 _1 1 input - 1
_1 _2 _3 _4 0 _1 0 adjusted scan sum
```
where the 3 pumpkin can fit entirely to the left of its seed with extra space to spare, pumpkin 2 cannot avail itself of that space.
* So, if the number of zeros in our scan-sum-with-a-twist equals the number of positive integers in our input, the input is valid.

```
¹
```
Assume there is enough space.
```
≔⁰η

Start with no space to the left of the patch. This variable becomes positive if there is space for a pumpkin to grow to the left or negative if a pumpkin is growing to the right.
```
⊞θ¹
```
End with no space to the right of the patch. This is handled by appending a pumpkin of size 1, which makes the calculations easier without changing the result.
```
Ｆθ
```
Loop through the patch.
```
¿ι
```
If there is a pumpkin, then:
```
¿‹η⁰
```
If a pumpkin to the left needs the space, then...
```
⎚
```
... there is a conflict, so clear the canvas.
```
≔⌊⟦⁰⁻⊖ιη⟧η

Otherwise, make this pumpkin grow as far to the left as it can.

[Question]
[
[Resistors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor) commonly have [color coded bands](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code#Resistor_color-coding) that are used to identify their [resistance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and_conductance) in [Ohms](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm). In this challenge we'll only consider the normal 4-band, tan, axial-lead resistors. We'll express them as:
```
xyzt
```
Where `x` is the first band for the first significant figure, `y` is the second band for the second significant figure, `z` the third band for the multiplier, and `t` is the fourth band for the [tolerance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance).
Each of `xyzt` represents a letter that abbreviates the color of the band:
```
K = Black
N = Brown
R = Red
O = Orange
Y = Yellow
G = Green
B = Blue
V = Violet
A = Gray
W = White
g = Gold
s = Silver
_ = None
```
So, for example, `NKOg` is some particular resistor.
The resistance can be calculated with the help of this table:
[](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code#Resistor_color-coding)
As the table suggests:
* `x` and `y` can be any letters except `g`, `s`, and `_`.
* `z` can be anything except `_`.
* We'll restrict `t` to only be `g`, `s`, or `_`.
([Here's a handy resistance calculator that deals with exact same set of resistors we are.](http://www.dannyg.com/examples/res2/resistor.htm))
The resistance is `10 * x + y` times the `z` multiplier, to a tolerance of the `t` percentage.
>
> For example, to calculate the resistance of `NKOg`, we see that:
>
>
> 1. `N` means Brown for 1.
> 2. `K` means Black for 0.
> 3. `O` means Orange for 103.
> 4. `g` means Gold for ±5%.
>
>
> So the resistance is `(10*1 + 0)*10^3` → `10000 Ω ±5%`.
>
>
>
# Challenge
Write a program or function that takes in a 4 character string of the form `xyzt` and prints or returns the resistance in the form `[resistance] Ω ±[tolerance]%`.
* **The resistor may be "upside-down", i.e. in the reverse order `tzyx`. For example, both `NKOg` and `gOKN` should produce `10000 Ω ±5%`.**
* The resistance is always in plain ohms, never kilohms, megohms, etc.
* [`Ω`](http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/03a9/index.htm) may be replaced with `ohms`, e.g. `10000 ohms ±5%`.
* [`±`](http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/b1/index.htm) may be replaced with `+/-`, e.g. `10000 Ω +/-5%`.
* Having trailing zeros to the right of a decimal point is fine. (e.g. `10000.0 Ω +/-5%`)
* You can assume input is always valid (`x` and `y` never `gs_`; `z` never `_`; `t` only `gs_`).
* All 10×10×12×3 = 3600 possible resistors (2×3600 possible inputs) need to be supported even if some color band combinations aren't produced in real life.
**The shortest code in bytes wins.**

[Question]
[
As computer scientists, you're probably all familiar with the basic list operations of *pop* and *push*. These are simple operations that modify a list of elements. However, have you ever heard of the operation *flop*? (as in *flip-**flop***)? It's pretty simple. Given a number **n**, reverse the first **n** elements of the list. Here's an example:
```
>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
>>> a.flop(4)
[4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
```
The cool thing about the flop operation, is that you can use it do some cool things to a list, such as [sorting it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancake_sorting). We're going to do something similar with flops:
>
> Given a list of integers, "Neighbor it". In other words, sort it so that every duplicate element appears consecutively.
>
>
>
This can be done with flops! For example, take the following list:
```
>>> a = [3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 3, 2]
>>> a.flop(4)
[4, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2]
>>> a.flop(3)
[2, 1, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2]
>>> a.flop(6)
[3, 3, 3, 4, 1, 2, 2]
```
This leads us to the definition of today's challenge:
>
> Given a list of integers, output any set of flops that will result in the list being neighbored.
>
>
>
Using the last list as an example, you should output:
```
4
3
6
```
because flopping the list by 4, then by 3, then by 6 will result in a neighbored list. Keep in mind that you do *not* need to print the shortest possible list of flops that neighbors a list. If you had printed:
```
4
4
4
3
1
1
6
2
2
```
instead, this would still be a valid output. However, you may *not* ever output a number larger than the length of the list. This is because for a list `a = [1, 2, 3]`, calling `a.flop(4)` is nonsensical.
Here are some examples:
```
#Input:
[2, 6, 0, 3, 1, 5, 5, 0, 5, 1]
#Output
[3, 7, 8, 6, 9]
#Input
[1, 2]
#Output
<any list of integers under 3, including an empty list>
#Input
[2, 6, 0, 2, 1, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 1, 5, 6, 4, 4, 1, 4, 6, 6, 0]
#Output
[3, 19, 17, 7, 2, 4, 11, 15, 2, 7, 13, 4, 14, 2]
#Input
[1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, -1, 4]
#Output
[]
#Input
[4, 4, 8, 8, 15, 16, 16, 23, 23, 42, 42, 15]
#Output
[12, 7]
```
Keep in mind that in each of these examples, the output given is just one potential valid output. As I said before, *any set of flops that neighbors the given list is a valid output*. You can use [this python script](https://tio.run/##VVBNa8QgEL3nV0xvSm1gN6UHYa/9Bb2JlDQZu4JMRF26@@uzakLSDCK8@Xpvnn@k60TdPA@ujxEI/76djYmVj8sGcoxowLjJs4jOCKA1XWKY/AMuUApK6i1dcDs47APjxyTeE9LIypySpJWUbycNr3WRIql50xQ6Qvt7/ZkCjsytdBGRMpVaWMwUwIIlcLsYa5ZU7expzOjlUpHKJHtfiYDpFgg@exdxK2AGx7Yy3PbeF812OWWd/Ao3XLQmLHaJalFcxbqsdLeSb5JN0Vcbdx7XVnNNPv3f/oMDsw@WEqtMqhNwFnAS8C6gq@@sBagFfWjO5yc "Python 3 – Try It Online") to verify if a given list of flops correctly neighbors a list.
You may take input and output in any reasonable format. For example, function arguments/return value, STDIN/STDOUT, reading/writing a file etc. are all valid.

### Explanation
For a list of length `n` this method produces `2*n` flops. It works by looking at the last element of the list, looking for the same element in the list before and flipping it to the second to last position. Then the list with the last element removed is recursively "neighboured".
For the list `[1,2,3,1,2]` the algorithm works like this:
```
[1,2,3,1,2] flip longest prefix that ends in 2: flop 2
[2,1,3,1,2] bring first element to second to last position: flop n-1 = flop 4
[1,3,1,2,2] recursively work on n-1 list
[1,3,1,2] there is no other 2: flop 0
[1,3,1,2] flop n-1 = flop 3
[1,3,1,2] recurse
[1,3,1] flop 1
[1,3,1] flop 2
[3,1,1] recurse
[3,1] flop 0
[3,1] flop 1
...
```
All together this yields the flops `[2,4,0,3,1,2,0,1,0,0]` and the neighboured list `[3,1,1,2,2]`.

## How it works
Given an array of length `n`, outputs a sequence of `4n` flops that sort the array in increasing order: in particular, putting duplicate elements next to each other.
The idea is that to sort an array, we move its largest element to the end, and then sort the first `n-1` elements of the array. To avoid implementing the flop operation, we move the largest element to the end in a way which does not disturb the other elements:
```
{3, 2, 1, 5, 3, 3, 2} starting array, with largest element in position 4
{5, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2} flop 4 to put the largest element at the beginning
{2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1, 5} flop 7 to put the largest element at the end
{1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 5} flop 6 (7-1) to reverse the effect of flop 7 on other elements
{3, 2, 1, 3, 3, 2, 5} flop 3 (4-1) to reverse the effect of flop 4 on other elements
```
In general, if the largest element is in position `i`, the sequence of flops that moves it to the end is `i, n, n-1, i-1`.

Both basically sort the array by flipping the max number to the beginning and then flipping it to the back, repeating this with the remaining array. The first one uses reduce, the second one uses a for loop.

## Introduction
On March 24th, 2015 *@isaacg* golfed [his Pyth answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/48101/52210) from 44 to 42 bytes. Since a crossed out 44 (~~44~~) looks a lot like a regular 44, *@Optimizer* made the following comment:
>
> [striked out 44 is still normal 44 :(](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/48100/very-simple-triangles/48101#comment113015_48101)
>
>

After that, on October 21st, 2015, *@Doorknob♦* golfed [his Ruby answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/61414/52210) from 44 to 40 (and later 38) bytes and added the following part to his answer, with a link to that original comment of *@Optimizer*:
>
> [crossed out 44 is still regular 44 ;(](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/48100/very-simple-triangles/48101#comment113015_48101)

This was the start of [an answer-chaining meme](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/search?tab=newest&q=crossed%20out%2044%20is%20still%20regular%2044), where every crossed out 44 (and in some occasions 4 or 444) linked back to the previous one.
Then on April 8th, 2017 (I'm not sure if this was the first answer to do so, but it's the earliest one I could find), *@JonathanAllan* golfed [his Python answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/115873/52210) from 44 to 39. He however used `<s> 44 </s>` so the 44 would look like this: ~~44~~, and added the following to his answer:
>
> Crossed out 44 is no longer 44 :)
>
>
>
And that was basically the (beginning of the) end of the meme.
## Challenge
As for this challenge: Given a list of positive integers and a date, output the list comma-and-space separated where every number except for the last one is placed between `<s>...</s>` tags.
In addition, if any of the crossed out numbers is in the sequence `[4, 44, 444, 4444, ...]` ([A00278 on oeis.org](http://oeis.org/A002278)):
* If the date is before April 8th, 2017: Also output the exact (all lowercase and with semicolon emoticon) text `crossed out N is still regular N ;(` (`N` being the crossed out number from the sequence) on a second line.
* If the date is April 8th, 2017 or later: The crossed out number `N` from the sequence should have the leading and trailing ` ` added. No need for any additional lines of output.
**Examples:**
Input: `list = [50, 48, 44, 41]`, `date = January 1st, 2017`
Output:
```
<s>50</s>, <s>48</s>, <s>44</s>, 41
crossed out 44 is still regular 44 ;(
```
Input: `list = [500, 475, 444, 301, 248]`, `date = June 2nd, 2018`
Output:
```
<s>500</s>, <s>475</s>, <s> 444 </s>, <s>301</s>, 248
```
## Challenge rules:
* You can assume the input-list is a sorted list from largest to smallest, only containing positive integers. In reality a byte-count can also go up due to bug-fixes, but for the sake of this challenge we pretend it only goes down.
* You can assume only a single number from the sequence `[4, 44, 444, 4444, ...]` is present in the input-list (if any).
* The output format is either printed to STDOUT, or returned as a string (or character array/list/2D-array if that's preferable). A trailing newline is of course optional.
* The output format is strict. `<s>...</s>` is mandatory; ` ... ` is mandatory; `", "` (comma and space) is mandatory; and `\ncrossed out ... is still regular ... ;(` exactly is mandatory (on a separated line).
* You may take the input-date as date-objects; timestamps; loose integers for year, month, and day; a single number in the format `yyyyMMdd`; integer days since December 31st, 1899 (which would be `42832` for April 8th, 2017); or any other reasonable input-format. The date if-statement isn't the major part of this challenge.
* The input integer-list can also be a list of strings if you want.
* You don't have to add the `<sup>...</sup>` tags to the `crossed out ... is still regular ... ;(` line as is usually done with the actual meme answers.
* You can assume the input-list will never contain byte-counts outside the `[1, 50000]` range (so you'll only have these five `{4, 44, 444, 4444, 44444}` to worry about).
## General rules:
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so shortest answer in bytes wins.
Don't let code-golf languages discourage you from posting answers with non-codegolfing languages. Try to come up with an as short as possible answer for 'any' programming language.
* [Standard rules apply](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2419/default-for-code-golf-program-function-or-snippet/2422#2422) for your answer, so you are allowed to use STDIN/STDOUT, functions/method with the proper parameters and return-type, full programs. Your call.
* [Default Loopholes](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1061/loopholes-that-are-forbidden-by-default) are forbidden.
* If possible, please add a link with a test for your code.
* Also, adding an explanation for your answer is highly recommended.

[Question]
[
I'm looking out of my attic window into my neighbor's yard. They have a dog chained to a post in the center of the yard. The dog runs around the yard but is always on the end of its chain, so it ends up leaving a track in the dirt. Normally this track would be perfectly circular, but my neighbors have some other poles in their yard that the dog's chain gets caught on. Each time the dogs chain hits a pole the dog begins rotating about the new pole with whatever length of chain is left as its radius. Since the poles, the dog and the chain all have zero width (my neighbors are mathematicians) the chain can wind around a pole indefinitely without the radius of the circle shortening. The dog can also pass through the chain (just not its collar) if the chain is in its path. After observing this oddity for a while I decide I will write some code to simulate my neighbor's dog. The code will take the locations of a center pole, to which the dog is chained, the locations of the other poles in my neighbors yard, the length of the chain, and the starting location of the dog, and will output a diagram indicating the path where the dog has worn down the grass. You may assume that any combination of the following are constant (and thus not take them as input):
* Location of the pole to which the dog is chained
* Length of the chain
* Starting location of the dog
The sun is rising, so the space on the floor of my attic illuminated by the window is shrinking, giving me less and less space to write my code. Please try to minimize the byte count of your code so that I have space to draft it on my attic floor.
## Test cases
Here I assume that the dog starts 3 units south from the to which pole it is chained (the red dot), located at `0,0`. I have indicated where the poles are with dots for clarity, you do not need to include them in your output.

## Python 3 using matplotlib, 457 bytes
```
from cmath import*
from matplotlib import pyplot as g,patches as i
def x(p):
p+=[0];d=180/pi;a=2;h=g.gca();h.set_xlim(-5,5);h.set_ylim(-5,5)
while a:

while 1:
s=[n for n in p if abs(n-c)<=y and n!=c]
if not s:h.add_patch(i.Arc((c.real,c.imag),y*2,y*2));break
n=[max,min][a](s,key=lambda n:(z-phase(n-c))%(2*pi));l,r=polar(n-c);h.add_patch(i.Arc((c.real,c.imag),y*2,y*2,[z,r][a]*d,0,[r-z,z-r][a]*d));y-=l;z=r;c=n
g.show()
```
Because your neighbors are mathematicians I've assumed that your neighbor's garden occupies the complex domain and any coordinates of objects in the garden are therefore complex numbers. To use this function, you should therefore pass it a list of complex numbers signifying the locations of the poles in your neighbor's garden. The default coordinate system representation has been chosen, where to the right are positive real numbers and upwards are positive imaginary numbers. This means the examples become:
```
x([2j+1,2j-1])
x([.5j])
x([1j,1+1j,-2+1j,-1-.5j])
x([1j,1+1j])
```
Furthermore, the program assumes the following things: the leash is tied to the point 0, the leash is 3 units long, and the plot area is 10 by 10 centered around 0. For these parameters, the results match up exactly with the examples, and this is how the result looks like (for the final example):
[![x([1j,1+1j])](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rTW3q.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rTW3q.png)
The algorithm is quite simple, only requiring one conditional to differentiate the clockwise and the counterclockwise search. The state of the algorithm is defined by the current rotation point and the orientation/remaining length of the leash when it hit the current rotation point. It works as follows:
* Filter out points from the collision set that are further away from the current rotation point than the remaining leash length, as well as the current rotation point.
* If this set is empty, draw a circle with the radius of the remaining belt length around this point as the end of this arm has been reached.
* Determine the point where the phase difference between the difference vector and the leash orientation is minimal/maximal. This is the next point the leash will hit in the clockwise/counterclockwise direction respectively.
* Draw the arc based on these vectors, take the leash length, subtract the magnitude of the distance and set the leash orientation to the orientation of the difference vector. Update the rotation point and continue from the start.
This algorithm is then performed first in the clockwise direction, after which the state is reset and it is executed in the counterclockwise direction. The simplicity of the algorithm means that about half of the program bytecount is spent on the drawing functions. If the drawing routines were stripped out it would remove 218 bytes from the program size.
The following is an ungolfed version that also contains debug code, which also displays points and leash collisions:
```
from cmath import pi, rect, polar, phase
from matplotlib import pyplot, patches
def x_ungolfed(points):
degrees = 180/pi # conversions
# add the center point to the collision points
points.append(0.0)
# configure plot area
axes=pyplot.gca()
axes.set_xlim(-5,5)
axes.set_ylim(-5,5)
# plot the points
x, y =zip(*((p.real, p.imag) for p in points))
axes.scatter(x, y, 50, "b")
# first iteration is clockwise, second counterclockwise
clockwise = 2
while clockwise:
clockwise -= 1
# initial conditions
center = 0 + 0j;
leash_size = 3
leash_angle = -pi / 2
# initial leash plot
leash_start = rect(leash_size, leash_angle)
axes.plot([center.real, leash_start.real], [center.imag, leash_start.imag], "r")
# search loop
while 1:
# find possible collission candidates
candidates = [n for n in points if abs(n - center) <= leash_size and n != center]
# if we reached the end, draw a circle
if not candidates:
axes.add_patch(patches.Arc(
(center.real, center.imag),
leash_size*2, leash_size*2
))
break
# find the actual collision by comparing the phase difference of the leash angle vs the difference between the candidate and the current node
new = (min if clockwise else max)(candidates, key=lambda n: (leash_angle - phase(n - center)) % (2 * pi))
# convert the difference to polar coordinates
distance, new_angle = polar(new - center)
# draw the arc
if clockwise:
axes.add_patch(patches.Arc(
(center.real, center.imag),
leash_size * 2, leash_size * 2,
new_angle * degrees,
0,
(leash_angle-new_angle) * degrees
))
else:
axes.add_patch(patches.Arc(
(center.real, center.imag),
leash_size * 2, leash_size * 2,
leash_angle * degrees,
0,
(new_angle - leash_angle) * degrees
))
# draw intermediate lines
edge = rect(leash_size, new_angle) + center
axes.plot([center.real, edge.real], [center.imag, edge.imag], "g")
# perform updates: decrease remaining leash size, set new leash angle, move rotation center to the collision
leash_size -= distance
leash_angle = new_angle
center = new
# show the graph
pyplot.show()
```

Run this program like so:
```
void setup() {
s(new float[][]{{0,100},{100,100},{-200,100},{-100,-50}});
}
```
(the function `s` takes in a `float[][]`). This is essentially testcase #3, but multiplied by 100 to fit the window.
Several things to note:
* the program does NOT draw poles
* the images appear flipped upside-down because in Processing's coordinate system, the positive y-axis goes down
* because Processing uses floats, the calculations are not very accurate, so you might see this in the images. I have asked the OP if these floating-point error matter.
* the size of the window is 600 pixels by 600 pixels
* very small input coordinates will bork the program because the stack `pushMatrix()` and `popMatrix()` operate on can only hold 32 matrices.
* the dog starts at (0, -300) and the chain starts at 300 pixels long
* the images below have been minified for convenience
Sample output for the above testcase.

If you want to see the prettified output, add this line right after the `translate(w,w);` in function `s`.
```

popMatrix();
//f(temp, (len-d)*cos(angle), (len-d)*sin(angle), (len-d), 0, index);
}
}
```
To put it shortly, the program sends two "seekers", one goes anti-clockwise and the other clockwise. Each of these seekers finds the closest pole and draws an arc to it if the chain is long enough, other wise it draws a circle. Once it draws an arc, it sends another seeker to that pole and the process continues. `f()` contains the process of each seeker. A more detailed explanation will come as soon as I golf this more.

## LOGO, ~~305~~ ~~298~~ ~~297~~ 293 bytes
Try the code on FMSLogo.
Define a function `draw` (golfed as `d`) that, given input as a list of pole coordinate (for example `draw [[0 100] [100 100] [-200 100] [-100 -50][0 0]]`, will draw on screen the result.
Requirements:
1. Initial rope length = 300 pixels. (as 3 pixels is too small)
2. `[0 0]` must be included in pole list. If debug code (draw poles) is turned on, then `[0 0]` must be the last item.
3. The dog start at coordinate `x=0, y=-300` (as in the problem description)
Possible optimizations:
1. -1 byte if exceptional case (the dog run into a pole) is not required to be mathematically correct by replacing `>=` with `>`

[Question]
[
    
It's winter, and the time of year has come for it to start getting cold (and for strange colorful headcloths to start appearing... soon). Let's write some code to make avatar pictures and other images frozen over, to fit the theme!
# Input
The input to submissions to this challenge should be an image (the image to make frozen) and a number (the threshold, which will be explained later).
You may input the image in any way your language supports them (a file path or URL as an argument, taking it from the clipboard, dragging and dropping an image, etc.) and in [any format listed here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats) that expresses colors in RGB (you can support / require RGBA instead if you want, but this is not a requirement).
You can input the number in any way you would like as well (command line argument, STDIN, input dialog, etc.), with the exception of hardcoding it into your program (ex. `n=10`). If you use a file path / URL for the image, it must be input in this manner as well.
# Output
The program must process the image according to the description below and then output it in any way you would like (to a file, showing it on screen, putting it on the clipboard, etc.).
# Description
Submissions should process the image with the following three steps. `n` refers to the number that your program received as input along with the image.
1. Apply a blur of radius `n` to the input image by replacing each pixel's R, G, and B values with the average R, G, and B values of all pixels within a [Manhattan distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry) of `n` pixels, ignoring all out-of-bounds coordinates. (I.e. all pixels where the sum of the difference in X and the difference in Y is less than or equal to `n`.)
(note: I used a Gaussian blur for the images above because there was a convenient built-in function for it, so your images might look a little different.)
2. Set each pixel to a random pixel within a distance of `n/2` pixels ("distance" is defined the same way as in the previous step).
This should be done by looping through the image and setting each pixel to a random pixel in this range, so some pixels might disappear entirely and some might be duplicated.
All changes must apply at the same time. In other words, use the old values of the pixels (after step 1 but before this step), not the new values after setting them to a random pixel.
3. Multiply the "blue" RGB value of each pixel by 1.5, capping it at 255 (or whatever the maximum value for a band of pixels is) and rounding down.
# Rules
* You may use image libraries / image processing-related functions built into your language; however, you may not use any functions that perform one of the three major tasks mentioned in the description. For example, you can't use a `blur` function, but a `getPixel` function is fine.
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest code in bytes wins!

```
Input format: `pam` file with no comments or extra whitespace in header, contents passed via STDIN.
`n` arguments are required (they can be anything).
Output format: `pam` file in STDOUT.
To compile:
```
gcc -DX=255 -DF=for "-DD=z=abs(k-i),z/b+z%a" -Wl,--stack,33554432 -funsigned-char icyavatars.c -o icyavatars
```
`-Wl,--stack,33554432` increases the stack size; this may be changed or removed, depending on the size of the picture being processed (the program requires a stack size greater than twice the number of pixels times 4).
`-funsigned-char` has gcc use `unsigned char` instead of `signed char` for `char`. The C standards allows for either of these options, and this option is only needed here because gcc uses `signed char` by default.
To run (n=5):
```
./icyavatars random argument here fourth fifth < image.pam > output.pam
```
**Note:** If compiling on Windows, `stdio.h`, `fcntl.h` and `io.h` must be included, and the following code added to the start of `main()` in order for the program to read/write to STDIN/STDOUT as binary, not text, streams (this is irrelevant on Linux, but Windows uses `\r\n` instead of `\n` for text streams).
```
setmode(fileno(stdin), _O_BINARY);
setmode(fileno(stdout), _O_BINARY);
```

[Question]
[
*Inspired by [this](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/187313/golf-the-smallest-circle) challenge, as well as a problem I've been working on*
## **Problem:**
Given a non-empty set of points in `3D` space, find the diameter of the smallest sphere that encloses them all. The problem is trivial if the number of points is three or fewer so, for the sake of this challenge, the number of points shall be greater than three.
**Input:** A list of 4 or more points, such that no three points are colinear and no four points are coplanar. Coordinates must be floats, and it is possible that two or more points may share a coordinate, although no two points will be the same.
**Output:** The diameter of the set (the diameter of the smallest sphere that encloses all points in the set), as a float. As has been pointed out, this is *not* necessarily the same as the largest distance between any two points in the set.
## Rules:
1. You may assume that the points are not colinear.
2. The smallest program (in bytes) wins. Please include the language used, and the length in bytes as a header in the first line of your answer.
## Example I/O:
**Input:**
```
[[4, 3, 6], [0, 2, 4], [3, 0, 4], [0, 9, 1]]
```
**Output:**
`9.9498743710662`
---
**Input:**
```
[[8, 6, 9], [2, 4, 5], [5, 5, 4], [5, 1, 6]]
```
**Output:**
`7.524876236605994`

Uses [PyPI's miniball module](https://pypi.org/project/miniball/) and works in any dimension.
Inputs a list of floating-point points (at least one coordinate of one point must be a float - i.e. have a decimal point - or `numpy` gets upset) and returns the diameter of the smallest enclosing circumsphere.
## How?
PyPI's module `miniball`'s function `get_bounding_ball` takes a `numpy` `ndarray` as the input points (with optional parameter `epsilon` which defaults to `1e-07`) and returns the centre and the squared radius of the circumsphere as a tuple. We return double the square-root of the second element which is the diameter of the circumsphere.

The MathWorks File Exchange often has user-submitted functions for tasks like this. One function that could work is `minboundsphere`. You can access the function [here](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/34767-a-suite-of-minimal-bounding-objects).

[Question]
[
Your task is to write a program that, on input n, outputs the *minimal expression* of each number 1 through n in order. The shortest program in bytes wins.
A minimal expression combines 1's with addition and multiplication to result in the given number, using as few 1's as possible. For example, `23` is expressed as `23=((1+1+1)(1+1)+1)(1+1+1)+1+1` with eleven ones, which is minimal.
Requirements:
1. The program must take as input a positive natural number n.
2. Output must be in this format: `20 = ((1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1)(1+1)`
3. Your output may not have needless parentheses, like `8 = ((1+1)(1+1))(1+1)`.
4. The multiplication sign `*` is optional.
5. Spaces are optional.
6. You don't have to output all the possible equations for given value: For example, you have the choice to output `4=1+1+1+1` or `4=(1+1)(1+1)`. You don't have to output both.
7. The shortest program (in bytes) in each language wins.
```
1=1
2=1+1
3=1+1+1
4=1+1+1+1
5=1+1+1+1+1
6=(1+1+1)(1+1)
7=(1+1+1)(1+1)+1
8=(1+1+1+1)(1+1)
9=(1+1+1)(1+1+1)
10=(1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1
11=(1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1+1
12=(1+1+1)(1+1)(1+1)
13=(1+1+1)(1+1)(1+1)+1
14=((1+1+1)(1+1)+1)(1+1)
15=(1+1+1+1+1)(1+1+1)
16=(1+1+1+1)(1+1)(1+1)
17=(1+1+1+1)(1+1)(1+1)+1
18=(1+1+1)(1+1+1)(1+1)
19=(1+1+1)(1+1+1)(1+1)+1
20=((1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1)(1+1)
```
Here are some more test cases: (remember, that other expressions with the same number of 1's are also allowed)
```

The online compiler can reach 1223 before the time out, thanks to Pyth's automatic function memoization.
```
1223=((1+1+1)(1+1+1)(1+1+1)(1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1)(1+1+1+1+1)+1+1+1
```
In abbrieviated notaion,
```
1223=(3^5+1)*5+3
```
This uses a recursive function `'`, which calculates all possbile products and sums which could give the desired output, finds the shortest string with each final operation, then compares them by `1` count and returns the first one.
It uses a helper function, `y`, which parenthesizes an expression only if it needs to be parenthesized.
Offline, I am running the program with the input `15535`, and it is nearly complete. Results are printed incrementally, so it is easy to see the progress.
Final lines of the output:
```
15535=((((1+1+1)(1+1+1)(1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1)((1+1+1)(1+1)+1)+1)(1+1+1)+1)(1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1

In abbreviated notation,
```

### Test run
The online interpreter is too slow for the larger test cases. Even with the Java interpreter, the larger test cases will take a *long* time and require a significant amount of memory.

This is actually pretty fast. Assigning the function to `f` and running `@time f(15535)` gives the output (last two lines only)

and for `@time f(45197)`, it gives

```
So, what's the code doing? Simple - `C` holds the current one-`C`ount for the number, `K` is an indicator array keeping track of whether the expression is, fundamentally, a sum or a product, for the purposes of dealing with bracketing, and `E` holds the `E`xpression itself. Working its way up from `s=1` through to `n`, the code searches for the minimal representation of number `s` in terms of lower values, by looking for either a sum or a product. If it's a product, then it checks the two components and puts brackets around them if they're sums. That check is done in function `F`, to save bytes (because it has to be done twice, for the two factors).

[Question]
[
The turtle wants to move along the grid to get to his food. He wants to know how many moves it will take for him to get there.
As well since he is slow he has teleporters set up around his domain that he will utilize if it shortens his path. Or avoid them if it lengthens his path.
## *Meet the turtle*
`üê¢`
The turtle lives on a grid
$$\begin{matrix}
X&X&X&X&X\\
X&X&X&X&X\\
X&X&üê¢&X&X\\
X&X&X&X&X\\
X&X&X&X&X\\
\end{matrix}$$
The turtle can move to any adjacent square...
$$\begin{matrix}
X&X&X&X&X\\
X&\nwarrow&\uparrow&\nearrow&X\\
X&\leftarrow&üê¢&\rightarrow&X\\
X&\swarrow&\downarrow&\searrow&X\\
X&X&X&X&X\\
\end{matrix}$$
However, the turtle cannot move to a square with a mountain
$$\begin{matrix}
X&üåÑ&X&X&X\\
X&\nwarrow&\uparrow&\nearrow&X\\
X&üåÑ&üê¢&\rightarrow&X\\
X&üåÑ&\downarrow&\searrow&X\\
X&üåÑ&X&X&X\\
\end{matrix}$$
The Turtle wants to eat his Strawberry, and would like to know how long it will take to get to his Strawberry
$$\begin{matrix}
X&üåÑ&üçì\\
üê¢&üåÑ&X\\
X&üåÑ&X\\
X&X&X\\
\end{matrix}$$
This example would take the turtle \$5\$ turns
$$\begin{matrix}
X&üåÑ&üçì\\
\downarrow&üåÑ&\uparrow\\
\searrow&üåÑ&\uparrow\\
X&\nearrow&X\\
\end{matrix}$$
Luckily, the Turtle found a teleporter! There are two teleports on the grid that map to each other. Stepping on the teleporter immediately moves the turtle to the corresponding teleporter. Teleporters are very unstable and after using them once, they disapear and are no longer useable.
$$\begin{matrix}
üîµ&üåÑ&üçì\\
üê¢&üåÑ&üî¥\\
X&üåÑ&X\\
X&X&X\\
\end{matrix}$$
It is now faster for the turtle to move up twice. Now the turtles shortest path is \$2\$
$$\begin{matrix}
üîµ&üåÑ&üê¢\\
\uparrow&üåÑ&üî¥\uparrow\\
X&üåÑ&X\\
X&X&X\\
\end{matrix}$$
## The challenge
Given an initial grid configuration output the number of moves it will take the turtle to reach his strawberry.
## Rules
* You may assume that the input grid has a solution
* Each grid will only have one `strawberry` and two `portals` and one `turtle`
* The input grid may be entered in any convenient format
* You should treat `teleporters` are single use items
* The turn that the turtle moves onto a `teleporter` square he is already on the corresponding `teleporter`. He never moves onto a `teleporter` and stays there for a move
* The shortest path does not need to make use of the portal
* The turtle cannot pass into mountain tiles
* You may use any ASCII character or integer to represent `mountains`, `turtle`, `empty grid square`, `strawberry`
* You may use either the same character or two different ASCII characters or integers to represent the `teleporter` pairs
* A grid can have more than one path with the same shortest path length
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'")
## Clarifications to Rules
* You should treat `teleporters` are single use items.
**Reasoning**: It was pointed out that the case of:
$$\begin{matrix}
üê¢&X&üîµ&X&üçì\\
üåÑ&üåÑ&üåÑ&üåÑ&üåÑ&\\
üî¥&X&X&X&X
\end{matrix}$$
Could be only solved by entering and exiting the portals twice. At the time of making this clarification both solutions acted by assuming they were either single use, or there was no reason to try previously used squares. To avoid breaking their hard-worked solutions, this seemed the best way account for this set up. Therefore, this would be considered an invalid grid.

### How?
The main recursive search function \$g\$ is able to either look for a specific tile \$t\$ on the board (if it's called with \$t\ne 0\$) or for any tile at \$(x,y)\$ which can be reached from the current position \$(X,Y)\$.
It keeps track of the length of the current path in \$i\$ and updates the best result \$R\$ to \$\min(R,i)\$ whenever the turtle finds the strawberry.
It is first called with \$t=2\$ to find the starting position of the turtle.
It calls itself with \$t=-1\$ if a portal is reached, so that the turtle is teleported to the other portal. We do not increment \$i\$ during such an iteration.
Each visited tile is temporarily set to a mountain to prevent the turtle from moving twice on the same tile in the same path. If we get trapped in a dead-end, the recursion simply stops without updating \$R\$.
### Commented

[Question]
[
In this challenge you will be simulating a frog jumping from lily-pad to lily-pad in a pond. A frog's jump distance is uniquely determined by the size of the lily pad it jumps from. So for example there are lily-pads that let a frog jump `1` unit, lily-pads that let a frog jump `2` units etc. A frog can never jump more or less than the allowed amount, nor can it jump out of the pond, but it can jump in either direction.
So we will represent a lily-pad by the number of units it allows a frog to jump. This number is always positive. We will then represent a pond as a list of lily-pads.
Our question is then: If a frog starts on the first lily-pad can they visit every lily-pad in the pond by following the jumping rules?
For example if we have the following pond the answer is yes
```
[2, 3, 1, 4, 1]
üê∏
[2, 3, 1, 4, 1]
üê∏
[2, 3, 1, 4, 1]
üê∏
[2, 3, 1, 4, 1]
üê∏
[2, 3, 1, 4, 1]
üê∏
```
However for the following pond the answer is no:
```
[3,2,1,2,1,2]
```
The frog can never reach any lily-pad labeled with a 1.
The frog is allowed to visit the same lily-pad more than once. The following example requires it:
```
[2, 1, 1, 1]
üê∏
[2, 1, 1, 1]
üê∏
[2, 1, 1, 1]
üê∏
[2, 1, 1, 1]
üê∏
[2, 1, 1, 1]
üê∏
```
Some lily-pads are dead ends and need to be visited last for example:
```
[2,3,1,1]
```
Here there is nowhere to go from `3` so that has to be the final pad.
## Task
For this task you will take as input a non-empty list of positive integers. You should output one of two distinct values, the first if it a frog can reach every lily-pad the second if not.
This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'") so your goal is to minimize the size of your source code as measured in bytes.
## Test cases

05AB1E lacks recursive methods unfortunately, so we'll have to use a brute-force approach by first generating all possible results before validating them. Unfortunately, this is both extremely slow and pretty long - although it's probably golfable here and there.

Step 2: Using the powerset and permutations builtins, create all possible lists that contain either 1 or 2 of these list-index pairs, and also start with the first Lilly-pad:
```
ć # Extract head; pop and push remainder-list and first item separately
U # Pop this first item, and store it in variable `X`

æ # Pop and push the powerset of this list

* Years 0 to 10,000: a 4-digit decimal number, left-padded with zeroes.
* Years 10,000 to 100,000: a 5-digit decimal number, prefixed with the character A.
* Years 100,000 to 1030: the decimal number for the year, prefixed with the uppercase ASCII letter whose index in the English alphabet is equal to the number of digits in the decimal year, minus 5 (B for 6-digit years, C for 7-digit years, etc.).
* Years 1030 to 1056: the same format as 10,000 to 1030, starting the letters over with A, and additionally prefixing a caret (`^`) to the string (so the year 1030 is represented by `^A1000000000000000000000000000000`, and the year 1031 is represented by `^B10000000000000000000000000000000`).
* Years 1056 to 10732: the year is prefixed by two carets and two ASCII uppercase letters. The uppercase letters form a base-26 number representing the number of digits in the year, minus 57.
* Years 10732 onwards: the same format for 1056 to 10732 is used, extending it by adding an additional caret and uppercase letter when necessary.
* BCE years (prior to Year 0): compute the year string of the absolute value of the year. Then, replace all letters by their base-26 complement (A <-> Z, B <-> Y, etc.), replace all digits by their base-10 complement (0 <-> 9, 1 <-> 8, etc.), and replace carets with exclamation marks (`!`). If the year string is 4 digits or less (i.e. -1 to -10,000), prepend a forward slash (`/`). If the year string is not prefixed by a forward slash or an exclamation mark, prepend an asterisk (`*`).
* **Months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds**: since these values are only ever 2 digits at the most, they are simply appended to the right of the year string, in decreasing order of significance, left-padded with zeroes if necessary to form 2-digit strings.
* **Additional precision**: if additional precision (in the form of milliseconds, microseconds, nanoseconds, etc.) is needed, those values are left-padded with zeroes to 3 digits (because each value is `1/1000` of the previous value, and thus is at most `999`) and appended to the end of the timestamp, in decreasing order of significance.
This format has the benefit of lexical sorting being equivalent to numeric sorting of the corresponding timestamp - if time A comes before time B, then the timestamp for A will come before the timestamp for B when lexical sorting is applied.
##The challenge
Given an arbitrarily-long list of numeric values (corresponding to time values in decreasing order of significance, e.g. `[year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond]`), output the corresponding RFC 2550 timestamp.
##Rules
* Solutions must work for any given input. The only limitations should be time and available memory.
* Input may be taken in any reasonable, convenient format (such as a list of numerics, a list of strings, a string delimited by a single non-digit character, etc.).
* The input will always contain at least one value (the year). Additional values are always in decreasing order of significance (e.g. the input will never contain a day value without a month value, or a second value followed by a month value).
* Input will always be a valid time (e.g. there won't be any timestamps for February 30th).
* Builtins which compute RFC 2550 timestamps are forbidden.
##Examples
These examples use input as a single string, with the individual values separated by periods (`.`).

**Explanation:**
* `for(var p:s){`: Loop over the parts
+ `p=p.charAt(0)<46?p.substring(f=1):p;`: Determine if it's negative, and if it is, remove the minus sign and set a flag to reduce bytes
+ `t=p.length();`: Get the amount of digits
+ `if(i++<1){`: If it's the first number (the year):
- `t<5?"0".repeat(4-t)`: If it's in the range \$[0, 100000)\$: add leading zeroes if necessary
- `t<32?(char)(t+60)`: If it's in the range \$[100000, 10^{30})\$: Add a leading letter
- `t<58?"^"+(char)(t+33+(v=1))`: If it's in the range \$[10^{30}, 10^{732})\$: Add a literal `"^"` (and set `v` to 1) + leading letter
- `if(t>57)for(v=2,u=675;u<t-57;u*=26)v++;r+="^".repeat(v)`: Add the appropriate amount of literal `"^"` (and set `v` to that amount), plus `x=e;for(var c:Long.toString(t-57,26).toUpperCase().split(e))x+=z.charAt((y+q).indexOf(c));r+=x;`: leading letters (base-26 to alphabet conversion)
- `r+=p;`: Add the year itself to the result-String
- `if(f>0){`: If the year was negative:
* `x=t<5?"/":t<32?"*":"!".repeat(v);`: Create a temp String `x` with the correct `/`, `*` or `v` amount of `!`
* `for(int c:r.getBytes())x+=c>93?e:new StringBuffer(y+z).reverse().charAt((z+y).indexOf(c));`: Do the conversion (A↔Z, B↔Y, 0↔9, 1↔8, etc.)
* `r=x;`: And then set the result to this temp String `x`
+ `else`: If it's the month, days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, nanoseconds, or smaller:
- `i>6?t<2?"00"+p:t<3?0+p:p`: If it's milliseconds or smaller: Add leading zeroes if necessary
- `:t<2?0+p:p;`: Else (month, days, hours, minutes, seconds): Add single leading zero if necessary
* `return r`: Return the result

Line 4 does the year formatting with help from lines 2 and 3. The first and last line deal with zero padding the elements of the input to their proper lengths then concatenating them with the formatted year.
* `_µ‘l26Ċṗ@€ØAẎị@` finds the base 26 prefix. It takes the cartesian power of the alphabet (`ØA`) for each number between 1 and ceil(log26(floor(log10(year))-n+1)) (where n is either 30 or 4) then gets indexes into this list with floor(log10(year))-n (`ị@`).
* `ç30;€”^UZF` formats years >= 1030 (`®L>30¤?`)
* `ç4⁶;` formats years < 1030. (*Edit*: Saved a byte by using `⁶;` instead of `;@⁶`)
* ~~`1RḊ`~~ `ḟ` gives an empty prefix for years < 105 (`®L>4¤?`). It takes the list of digits then filters out every element in itself. Just using this to yield `[]` because `⁸` doesn't work here.
~~This just evaluates to `[]`. `⁸` and `[]` don't work here and I couldn't find another 2 bytes that return an empty list.~~
* `;®AṾ€¤` appends the year to the prefix then flattens it.
* `L=4”/x` prefixes a `/` if the length of the year is 4 in the do statement of `®S<0¤¡`.
* `2£FiЀ¹ị€2£UF¤` takes the complements of `A .. Z`, `0 .. 9` and `^ /*!` if the year is negative (`®S<0¤¡`). `2£` refers to the second link, `ØD,“^ *!”,ØA` which is the list `[['0' .. '9'], ['^',' ','/','*','!'], ['A' .. 'Z']]`. With a formatted year like `^C125...` this link finds the index of each character in the flattened version of `2£` then uses those indices to construct a new string from the flattened version of `2£` where each sublist is reversed, i.e. `['9' .. '0','!','*','/',' ','^','Z' .. 'A']`, yielding `!X874...`. `/` maps to itself because it is prefixed before everything has its complement taken.
* ~~`L=4a®S<0x@”/;` adds a `/` to the beginning of negative years in `[-9999 .. -0001]`. My guess is this can be shortened.~~ I ended up including this in the previous do statement (`¡`) and saved 7 bytes because then I didn't need to test for negative years twice.
~~There are a lot of uses of `¡` in line 4 and I think they could be compressed by using `?` instead but I'm not sure how to get those to work.~~ I got `?` to work and saved a few bytes.
James Holderness pointed out that my first submission didn't handle years with 30 digits correct. It turned out the bug was for any year that needed a `Z` in the base 26 prefix. It turns out I couldn't use `ṃ` because when you convert 26 to base 26 it gives you `[1,0]` instead of `26` (duh). Instead I used ordered pairs with replacement. I don't think there is an atom for that but if there is I can save a few bytes. Fixing this ended up costing me ~40 bytes. Definitely my longest Jelly program yet. *Edit*: Found a shorter way to do the cartesian product. I realized that I wasn't sure that the last one worked for prefixes with more than two letters anyway but the new way does work.
Sorry for the many times I've edited this post, I just keep discovering ways of shortening it.

# Excel VBA, ~~500~~ ~~486~~ ~~485~~ 461 Bytes
## Anonymous VBE Immediate Window Function
Anonymous VBE immediate window function that takes input as year from `[A1]`, month from `[B1]`, days from `[C1]`, hours from `[D1]`, minutes from `[E1]`, seconds from `[F1]` and an optional extra precision array from `[G1:Z1]`, calculates the RFC2550 timestamp and outputs to the VBE immediate window. Makes use of the declared helper function below.
```
n=Left([A1],1)="-":y=Mid([A1],1-n):l=Len(y):o=IIf(l<5,Right("000"&y,4),IIf(l<31,"",String(Len(b(l-30)),94))&B(l-IIf(l<31,4,30))&y):For Each c In[B1:Z1]:j=j+1:p=p+IIf(c,Format(c,IIf(j>5,"000","00")),""):Next:If n Then For i=1To Len(o):c=Asc(Mid(o,i,1)):Mid$(o,i,1)=Chr(IIf(c<60,105,155)-c):Next:?IIf(l<5,"/",IIf(InStr(1,o,"="),"","*"))Replace(o,"=","!")p:Else?o;p
```
**Helper Function**
Declared helper function that takes an input number and returns that number in base-26 such that `1->A` and `26->Z`
Must be placed into a public module.
```
Function b(n)
While n
n=n-1
d=n Mod 26+1
d=d+26*(d<0)
n=n\26-(d<0)
b=Chr(64+d)+b
Wend
End Function
```
**Usage**
Must be used in a clear module, or the module must be cleared before execution as the vars `j`, `o` and `p` are assumed to be in their default, uninitialized state at the beginning of execution of the code. For `j`, which is a `Variant\Integer` variable, this default value is `0` and for `o` and `p`, which are `Variant\String` variables, this default value is the empty string (`""`).
Input, an array of strings, is taken from `1:1` on the ActiveSheet and output is to the VBE immediate window.

```
ε # Map over each integer `y` of the (implicit) input-list

# thus milliseconds or smaller
Ì # Increase that by 2
j # Add leading spaces to abs(y) to make the length (N>=6)+2 long
# (note that builtin `j` requires the first argument to be a string,
# hence the use of `þ` over `Ä` earlier)
ð0: # And replace those leading spaces with 0s
ë # Else (the map-index is 0, thus the year):
g # Pop the absolute value, and push its length
© # Store this length in variable `®` (without popping)
Ž¾S # Push compressed integer 48223
₃в # Convert it to base-95 as list: [5,32,58]
@ # Check for each if they're >= the length (1 if truthy; 0 if falsey)
DU # Store a copy of those checks in variable `X`
O # Sum the checks to get the amount of truthy values
® # Push the length from `®` again
4α # Take its absolute difference with 4
0 × # Repeat 0 that many times as string
® # Push the length `®` again
60+ # Add 60
ç # Convert it to an ASCII character with this codepoint

Thanks to EMBLEM I had to revamp and restart, building a regex with a back-and-forth relay of manual part selection and Peter Norvig's golfer. Saved a whole bunch of bytes, and probably more is still possible, so I guess it was worth it?
[Tested on Regex101](https://regex101.com/r/eU2xP9/9) (includes `hoopa` and `volcanion`, since they aren't matched anyway)
If anyone's wondering, `seel` is the biggest pain to match, thanks to `registeel` and `seedot` in the other list. Other hard-to-match Pokemon include `hitmonchan` (thanks to `hitmontop` and `chandelure/donphan`),`jolteon` (thanks to `joltik` and half the `eevee` evolutions) and `porygon` (thanks to `flygon` and `porygon2/porygon-z`)

[Question]
[
Your task is to implement integer sequence [A130826](https://oeis.org/A130826):
>
> **an** is the smallest positive integer such that **an - n** is an entire multiple of **3** and twice the number of divisors of **(an - n) / 3** gives the **n**th term in the first differences of the sequence produced by the Flavius Josephus sieve.
>
>
>
Lost yet? Well, it's actually quite easy.
The [Flavius Josephus sieve](https://oeis.org/A000960) defines an integer sequence as follows.
1. Start with the sequence of positive integers and set **k = 2**.
2. Remove every **k**th integer of the sequence, starting with the **k**th.
3. Increment **k** and go back to step 2.
**fn** is the **n**th integer (1-indexed) that never gets removed.
If – as usual – **σ0(k)** denotes the number of positive divisors of the integer **k**, we can define **an** as the smallest positive integer such that **2σ0((an - n) / 3) = fn+1 - fn**.
### Challenge
Write a program or function that takes a positive integer **n** as input and prints or returns **an**.
Standard [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'") rules apply. May the shortest code win!
### Worked examples
If we remove every second element of the positive integers, we are left with
```
1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 ...
```
After removing every third element of the remainder, we get
```
1 3 7 9 13 15 19 21 25 27 31 33 37 39 ...
```
Now, removing every fourth, then fifth, then sixth element gets us
```
1 3 7 13 15 19 25 27 31 37 39 ...
1 3 7 13 19 25 27 31 39 ...
1 3 7 13 19 27 31 39 ...
1 3 7 13 19 27 39 ...
```
The last row shows the terms **f1** to **f7**.
The differences of the consecutive elements of the these terms are
```

Dividing these forward differences by **2**, we get
```

These are the target divisor counts.
* **4** is the first integer **k** such that **σ0((k - 1) / 3) = 1**. In fact, **σ0(1) = 1**.
* **8** is the first integer **k** such that **σ0((k - 2) / 3) = 2**. In fact, **σ0(2) = 2**.
* **15** is the first integer **k** such that **σ0((k - 3) / 3) = 3**. In fact, **σ0(4) = 3**.
* **16** is the first integer **k** such that **σ0((k - 4) / 3) = 3**. In fact, **σ0(4) = 3**.
* **23** is the first integer **k** such that **σ0((k - 5) / 3) = 4**. In fact, **σ0(6) = 4**.
* **42** is the first integer **k** such that **σ0((k - 6) / 3) = 6**. In fact, **σ0(12) = 6**.

Run time should be roughly **O(16n)** with **O(4n)** memory usage. Replacing `4**n` with `5<<n` – which I *think* is sufficient – would improve this dramatically, but I'm not convinced that it works for arbitrarily large values of **n**.

### Asymptotic behavior and upper bounds of an
Define **bn** as **(an - n)/3**, i.e., the smallest positive integer **k** such that **σ0(k) = ½(fn+1 - fn)**.
As noted on the OEIS page, **fn ~ ¼πn2**, so **fn+1 - fn ~ ¼π(n + 1)2 - ¼πn2 = ¼π(2n + 1) ~ ½πn**.
This way, **½(fn+1 - fn) ~ ¼πn**. If the actual number is a prime **p**, the smallest positive integer with **p** divisors is **2p-1**, so **bn** can be approximated by **2cn**, where **cn ~ ¼πn**.
Therefore **bn < 4n** will hold for sufficiently large **n**, and given that **2¼πn < 2n << (2n)2 = 4n**, I'm confident there are no counterexamples.
### How it works
```
n=input();r=range(1,4**n);d=s,=r*1,
```
This sets up a few references for our iterative process.
* **n** is the user input: a positive integer.
* **r** is the list **[1, ..., 4n - 1]**.
* **s** is a copy of **r**.
Repeating the list once with `r*1` creates a shallow copy, so modifying **s** won't modify **r**.
* **d** is initialized as the tuple **(s)**.
This first value is not important. All others will hold divisor counts of positive integers.
```
for k in r:del s[k::k+1];d+=sum(k%j<1for j in r)*2,
```
For each integer **k** from **1** to **4n - 1**, we do the following.
* `del s[k::k+1]` takes every **(k + 1)**th integer in **s** – starting with the **(k + 1)**th – and deletes that slice from **s**.
This is a straightforward way of storing an initial interval of the Flavius Josephus sieve in **s**. It will compute much more than the required **n + 1** initial terms, but using a single `for` loop to update both **s** and **d** saves some bytes.
* `d+=sum(k%j<1for j in r)*2,` counts how many elements of **r** divide **k** evenly and appends **2σ0(k)** to **d**.
Since **d** was initialized as a singleton tuple, **2σ0(k)** is stored at index **k**.
```
print d.index(s[n]-s[n-1])*3+n
```
This finds the first index of **fn+1 - fn** in **d**, which is the smallest **k** such that **2σ0(k) = fn+1 - fn**, then computes **an** as **3k + 1** and prints the result.

It looks awful, so is runtime performance. It takes several seconds for input that yield small values. Don't try numbers like 14; it will eventually find the result but it would take ages.
## Explanation
It works as 2 sequentially called programs. The first one computes **Fn+1 - Fn** and the second one determines **an** based on its definition, using a bruteforce approach.
**Fn+1 - Fn** is evaluated for each iteration even though it is loop invariant. It makes the code time inefficient, but it makes the code shorter.

[Question]
[
There's a really important problem in cellular automata called the [Majority problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority_problem_(cellular_automaton)):
>
> The majority problem, or density classification task is the problem of finding one-dimensional cellular automaton rules that accurately perform majority voting.
>
>
> ...
>
>
> Given a configuration of a two-state cellular automata with i + j cells total, i of which are in the zero state and j of which are in the one state, a correct solution to the voting problem must eventually set all cells to zero if i > j and must eventually set all cells to one if i < j. The desired eventual state is unspecified if i = j.
>
>
>
Although it has been proven that no cellular automata can solve the majority problem in all cases, there are many rules that can can solve it in the majority of cases. The Gacs-Kurdyumov-Levin automaton has an accuracy of about 78% with random initial conditions. The GKL rule isn't complicated:
* Radius of 3, meaning that the cell's new state depends on 7 previous cells: itself, the 3 cells to the right, and the 3 cells to the left.
* If a cell is currently `O`, its new state is the majority of itself, the cell to its left, and the cell 3 steps to its left.
* If a cell is currently `1`, its new state is the majority of itself, the cell to its right, and the cell 3 steps to its right.
Here is an example:
```
0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1
0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0
0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0
0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0
0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
```
In this example, the cellular automaton correctly calculated that 8 > 6. Other examples take longer periods of time, and produce some cool patterns in the meantime. Below are two examples I randomly found.
```
0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1
1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1
```

## Taking it to the next level
As far as my internet research has shown, almost all academic research on the majority problem has been conducted with 2-state CAs. In this challenge, we are going to expand the majority problem to **3-state CAs**. I will call this the *plurality problem*. [Plurality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plurality_%28voting%29), or relative majority, refers to the condition in which one of the options has more votes than each of the alternatives, but not necessarily a majority of all votes.
**Problem Statement**
1. There is a 3-state 1D cellular automaton with radius 3.
2. There are **151** cells with a circular boundary condition.
3. These cells are given a random starting state, on the sole condition that 1 of the 3 states has a strict plurality. "Random" means an independent uniform distribution for each cell.
4. The accuracy of a rule is the percentage of (valid) random initial conditions in which all of the cells synchronize to the correct state (the one with plurality) **within 10000 generations**.
5. The goal is to find a rule with high accuracy,
Plurality edge cases: Any configuration with 50/50/51 is a valid starting configuration (since there is a strict plurality), while any configuration with 51/51/49 is not valid (since there is not a strict plurality).
The search space is 3^3^7 (~3e1043), far outside the reach of any exhaustive search. This means that you will need to make use of other techniques, like genetic algorithms, in order to solve this problem. It will also take some human engineering.
The 10000 generation rule is subject to change, depending on the runtimes/accuracy of the rules people find. If it is too low to allow reasonable rates of convergence, then I can raise it. Alternatively, I can lower it to serve as a tie-breaker.
## Winning
The winner is the person who submits the radius-3 CA rule with the highest accuracy out of all of the contestants.
Your submission should include...
* A description of the rule (using [Wolfram code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram_code) if necessary)
* The accuracy rate and sample size
* A reasonably-sized *explanation* of how you discovered the rule, including programs you wrote to solve it, or any "manual" engineering. (This being the most interesting part, since everything else is just raw numbers.)
## Prior Work
* A paper by [Juille and Pollack](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.67.6665&rep=rep1&type=pdf), describing how they evolved a 2-state rule with 86% accuracy.
* [This paper](http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/%7Emm/EGSCA.pdf) used r=3, 149-cell, 2-state CAs. It did not attempt to the solve the majority problem, however, but instead to find rules that quickly resulting in an alternating all-`1`-all-`0` pattern. Despite these differences, I suspect many techniques will be similar.
* A (not very helpful because it's behind a paywall) paper by [Wolz and de Oliviera](http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/journals/jca-home/jca-issue-contents/jca-volume-3-number-4-2008/jca-3-4-p-289-312/) which currently hold the 2-state record

# Sort of GKL plus hill climbing, 61.498%
* If a cell is a 0, look at the cells 3 to the left, 1 to the left and at itself. Set value to majority. If it's a tie, stay the way you are.
* If a cell is a 1, look at the cells 3 to the right, 1 to the right and at itself. Set value to majority. If it's a tie, stay the way you are.
* If a cell is a 2, look at the cells 2 to the left, 2 to the right and 3 to the right. Set value to majority. If it's a tie, stay the way you are.
I got 59453 right out of 100000 total, 59.453%
Some mutating and hill-climbing resulted in 61498/100000 = 61.498%.
I'll probably test a bit more and will post some more information later.

# "Just toss out the 2s and do GKL" -- 55.7%
It's not so easy to guess what a good rule would be, so I tried to at least come up with something that would score above 1/3. The strategy is to try to get the right answer when the majority state is 0 or 1, and accept the loss if it's 2. It scored 56.5% over 100,000 trials, which is somehow slightly better than what would be expected from multiplying 78% (score of GKL) \* 2/3 (fraction of the time when answer is 0 or 1) = 52%.
More concretely, the strategy is as follows:
* If the cell is 0 or 1, take the majority of the 3 cells as in the GKL strategy, but ignoring any neighbors that are 2. If it's a tie, leave the cell unchanged.
* If the cell is 2, choose whichever is more numerous of 0 or 1 in the entire neighborhood. If it's a tie, choose the leftmost value that is 0 or 1. If all the neighbors are 2, stay 2.

This answer was evolved from feersum's 55.7%, using the following code. This code requires [libop](https://github.com/orlp/libop), which is my personal C++ header-only library. It's very easy to install, just do `git clone https://github.com/orlp/libop` in the same directory as where you've saved the program. I suggest compiling with `g++ -O2 -m64 -march=native -std=c++11 -g`. For speedy development I also suggest precompiling libop by running the above command on `libop/op.h`.

This actually only looks at the 5 cells above it. It could probably be improved by increasing the range it looks at. Ran with 100,000 test cases.
Algorithm:
```
If above == 0:
if to the left there are only 2s or there is a 1 separated by 2s
next state = 2
else
next state = 0
If above == 1:
if to the right there are only 2s or there is a 0 separated by 2s
next state = 2
else
next state = 1
If above == 2:
ignore 0s to the left if the 0 is left of a 1 on the left
ignore 1s to the right if the 1 is right of a 0 on the right
if the closest 0 on the left is closer than the closest 1 on the right
next state = 0
else if the closest 1 on the right is closer than the closest 0 on the left
next state = 1
else
next state = 2
```

[Question]
[
You have a bunch of heavy boxes and you want to stack them in the fewest number of stacks possible. The issue is that you can't stack more boxes on a box than it can support, so heavier boxes must go on the bottom of a stack.
## The Challenge
**Input**: A list of weights of boxes, in whole kg.
**Output**: A list of lists describing the stacks of boxes. This must use the fewest number of stacks possible for the input. To be a valid stack, the weight of each box in the stack must be greater than or equal to the sum of the weight of all boxes above it.
### Examples of Valid stacks
(In bottom to top order)
* [3]
* [1, 1]
* [3, 2, 1]
* [4, 2, 1, 1]
* [27, 17, 6, 3, 1]
* [33, 32, 1]
* [999, 888, 99, 11, 1]
### Examples of Invalid stacks
(In order from bottom to top)
* [1, 2]
* [3, 3, 3]
* [5, 5, 1]
* [999, 888, 777]
* [4, 3, 2]
* [4321, 3000, 1234, 321]
## Example Test Cases
### 1
```
IN: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12]
OUT: [[12, 6, 3, 2, 1], [9, 5, 4]]
```
### 2
```
IN: [87, 432, 9999, 1234, 3030]
OUT: [[9999, 3030, 1234, 432, 87]]
```
### 3
```
IN: [1, 5, 3, 1, 4, 2, 1, 6, 1, 7, 2, 3]
OUT: [[6, 3, 2, 1], [7, 4, 2, 1], [5, 3, 1, 1]]
```
### 4
```
IN: [8, 5, 8, 8, 1, 2]
OUT: [[8, 8], [8, 5, 2, 1]]
```
## Rules and Assumptions
* Standard I/O rules and banned loopholes apply
* Use any convenient format for I/O
+ Stacks may be described top to bottom or bottom to top, as long as you are consistent.
+ The order of stacks (rather than boxes within those stacks) does not matter.
+ You may also take input boxes as a presorted list. Order is not particularly important for the input, so long as the general problem isn't being solved by the sorting itself.
* If there is more than one optimal configuration of stacks, you may output any one of them
* You may assume that there is at least one box and that all boxes weigh at least 1 kg
* You must support weights up to 9,999 kg, at minimum.
* You must support up to 9,999 total boxes, at minimum.
* Boxes with the same weight are indistinguishable, so there is no need to annotate which box was used where.

[Question]
[
You are a railroad entrepreneur in the 19th-century United States when trains become popular because they are the most efficient means of transporting large volumes of materials by land. There is a national need for railroad tracks from the east coast through some recently colonized lands in the west.
To accommodate this need, the U.S. government is going to levy a tax to subsidize railroads. They have promised to pay money to your railroad company for each mile of track laid. Since laying tracks in hilly and mountainous regions is more expensive than laying tracks in flat land, they adjust the amount they give accordingly. That is, the government will pay
* $5,000 per mile of track laid in flat land
* $12,500 per mile of track laid in hilly land
* $20,000 per mile of track laid in mountains.
Of course, this plan does not accurately reflect how much it actually costs to lay tracks.
You have hired some cartographers to draw relief maps of the regions where you will be laying track to analyze the elevation. Here is one such map:
```
S12321
121234
348E96
```
Each digit represents one square mile of land. `S` is the starting point, `E` is the ending point. Each number represents the intensity of the elevation changes in that region.
* Land numbered 1-3 constitutes flat land.
* Land numbered 4-6 constitutes hilly land.
* Land numbered 7-9 constitutes a mountain range.
You have, through years of experience building railroad tracks, assessed that the cost of track building (in dollars) satisfies this formula:
```
Cost_Per_Mile = 5000 + (1500 * (Elevation_Rating - 1))
```
That means building on certain elevation gradients will cost you more money than the government gives, sometimes it will be profitable, and sometimes you will just break even.
For example, a mile of track on an elevation gradient of 3 costs $8,000 to build, but you only get paid $5,000 for it, so you lose $3000. In contrast, building a mile of track on an elevation gradient of 7 costs $14,000, but you get paid $20,000 for it: a $6,000 profit!
Here is an example map, as well as two different possible paths.
```
S29 S#9 S##
134 1#4 1##
28E 2#E 2#E
```
The first track costs $30,000 dollars to construct, but the government pays you $30,000 for it. You make no profit from this track.
On the other hand, the second costs $56,500 to build, but you get paid $62,500 for it. You profit $6,000 from this track.
**Your goal:** given a relief map, find the most profitable (or perhaps merely the least expensive) path from the start to the end. If multiple paths tie, any one of them is an acceptable solution.
# Program Details
You are given text input separated with a rectangular map of numbers and one start and end point. Each number will be an integer inclusively between 1 and 9. Other than that, the input may be provided however you like, within reason.
The output should be in the same format as the input, with the numbers where track has been built replaced by a hash (`#`). Because of arbitrary regulations imposed by some capricious politicians, tracks can only go in horizontal or vertical paths. In other words, you can't backtrack or go diagonally.
The program should be able to solve in a reasonable amount of time (i.e. <10 minutes) for maps up to 6 rows and 6 columns.
This is a **code golf** challenge, so the shortest program wins.
I have an [example (non-golfed) implementation](http://jsbin.com/osugoz/17/edit#preview).

`P` takes a partial path `p` and returns all ways of extending it to reach `E`. Each returned path is paired with its score so `max` can find the best one.

[Question]

There is a nice way to perform long multiplication for two integers without having to do anything but counting, which occasional gets shared around the internet. You write the digits of each number as a bunch of slanted lines, with the two numbers at a 90 degree angle. Then you can simply count the intersections in the separate columns that arise. A diagram will probably clarify this. Here is an example for calculating `21 * 32`:
If you google for "visual/graphical long multiplication" you'll find a lot more examples.
In this challenge, you are to generate these diagrams using ASCII art. For the same example, the output would look like this:
```
\ /
X /
\ / X /
\ X / X
X X / \ /
/ X X X /
/ X \ / X
/ \ X / \
X X
/ X \
/ \
```
It's probably easiest to figure out the construction rules for these from some examples (see below), but here some details:
* Intersecting segments are `X`, non-intersecting segments of the lines are `/` or `\`.
* There should be exactly one segment after the outermost intersections.
* There should be exactly one segment between intersections belonging to different digits. If there are zero-digits, these will result in consecutive `/` or `\` segments.
* You have to support any positive input (at least up to some reasonable limit like 216 or 232), and any digits from `0` to `9`. However, you may assume that there neither leading nor trailing `0`s.
* You must not print extraneous leading whitespace or leading or trailing empty lines.
* You may print trailing whitespace but it must not exceed the diagram's axis-aligned bounding box.
* You may optionally print a single trailing newline.
* You may choose in which order you take the two input numbers. However, it you must support arbitrary numbers for either orientation, so you can't choose something like "The larger number is given first".
* If you're taking input as a string, you can use any non-digit separator between the two numbers.
You may write a program or function, taking input via STDIN (or closest alternative), command-line argument or function argument and outputting the result via STDOUT (or closest alternative), function return value or function (out) parameter.
This is code golf, the shortest answer (in bytes) wins.

l[i+j][j-i+len(a)]=r' \/x'[x+2*y]
return '\n'.join(''.join(x[2:-1]) for x in l[1:-2])

I think it's enough human-readable.

L=a,b=[eval("+[0]+[1]*".join("0%s0"%x)[2:])for x in input().split()]
A,B=map(len,L)

```
The expressions are quite long so I think there's a fair amount of room for improvement, but anyway...
Takes input space-separated via STDIN, e.g.
```
21 32
\ /
X /
\ / X /
\ X / X
X X / \ /
/ X X X /
/ X \ / X
/ \ X / \
X X
/ X \
/ \
```
There's a possible trailing space on some lines, but the `A+B-2` ensures that all of the trailing spaces are within the bounding box.

I'm sure that there is a solution that builds the output row by row, fiddling with math and x,y coordinates (x+y==k, x-y==k ...). But I still can't nail it.
So here is a solution that simply draws the lines one by one.
Run the snippet in Firefox to test.
```
F=(a,b)=>( // string parameters
t=u=0,[for(v of a)t-=~v],[for(v of b)u-=~v],
r=t+u,o=[...' '.repeat(r*r-r)],
L=(x,y,n,z,m,c)=>{
for(i=0;d=n[i++];)
for(j=0;++x,y+=z,j++<d;)
for(l=m+1,p=x+y*r-1-r;l--;p+=r-z,o[p-p%r-1]='\n')
o[p]=o[p]>' '&&o[p]!=c?'X':c
},
L(u,0,a,1,u,'/'),
L(0,u,b,-1,t,'\\'),
o.join('')
)
// TEST
function test()
{
O.innerHTML= F(A.value, B.value);
}
test();

[Question]
[
Write a program or function that takes two inputs:
1. A text message
2. The dictionary of English language, as it appears in [this](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kevina/wordlist/master/alt12dicts/2of4brif.txt) Github file (containing about 60000 words)
and outputs the number of spelling errors in the message (see below for definition and test cases).
You can receive the dictionary as a parameter to your function, as a pre-defined file that your program expects to find, as hard-coded data in your code, or in any other sensible manner.
---
Your code should itself look like a text message, with a minimal number of spelling errors. So, you will calculate the **score** of your code by feeding it to itself as input.
The winner is code that has the lowest score (minimal possible score is 0). If there are several answers with the same score, the winner is decided by code size (in characters). If two answers are still tied, the winner is the earlier one.
---
If required, you can assume the input message to be ASCII (bytes 32...126) with newlines encoded in a conventional manner (1 byte "10" or 2 bytes "13 10"), and non-empty. However, if your code has non-ASCII characters, it should also support non-ASCII input (so it can calculate its own score).
Characters are subdivided into the following classes:
* *Letters* a...z and A...Z
* *Whitespace* (defined here as either the space character or the newline character)
* *Punctuation* `.` `,` `;` `:` `!` `?`
+ *Sentence-ending* `.` `!` `?`
* *Garbage* (all the rest)
A *word* is defined as a sequence of letters, which is maximal (i.e. neither preceded nor followed by a letter).
A *sentence* is defined as a maximal sequence of characters that are not sentence-ending.
A character is a *spelling error* if it violates any of the spelling rules:
1. A letter must belong to a dictionary word (or, in other words: each word of length N that doesn't appear in the dictionary counts as N spelling errors)
2. The first character in a sentence, ignoring any initial whitespace characters, must be an uppercase letter
3. All letters must be lowercase, except those specified by the previous rule
4. A punctuation character is only allowed after a letter or garbage
5. A newline character is only allowed after a sentence-ending character
6. Whitespace characters are not allowed in the beginning of the message and after whitespace characters
7. There should be no garbage (or, in other words: each garbage character counts is a spelling error)
In addition, the last sentence must be either empty or consist of exactly one newline character (i.e. the message should end with a sentence-ending character and an optional newline - let's call it rule 8).
Test cases (below each character is a rule that it violates; after `=>` is the required answer):
```
Here is my 1st test case!!
711 4 => 4
main(){puts("Hello World!");}
2 777 883 3 77 78 => 12
This message starts with two spaces
66 8 => 3
What ? No apostrophe's??
4 71 4 => 4
Extra whitespace is BAD!
66 661111111111 66 66333 => 21
Several
lines?
Must be used only to separate sentences.
=> 1 (first linebreak is en error: rule 5)
"Come here," he said.
73 7 => 3 (sentence starts with '"', not 'C')

| <!before <punctuation> | <:letter> | \s> .

say mistakes.Numeric
```
Notes:
* Expects the dictionary in a file called `3.14159265358979` in the current working directory.
* The only inspired part is the line
`append mistakes, .comb when none words slurp pi given lc word`,
the rest is pretty bad. But maybe it can at least serve as a baseline for better solutions... :)

Takes in input from standard in and outputs to standard out. This requires a dictionary in a file called `be` the same directory as the code.
I took [the Python answer from GotCubes](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/252865/113573) and encoded each character as an index into the dictionary, interpreted as an ASCII code point.
Here's the code that I used to generate my code:
```
be=open("be").read().split()
code="""message = input();words = re.findall("[a-zA-Z]+", message);sentences = re.findall("[^.!?]+", message);print(sum(len(word) if word.lower() not in be else 0 for word in words)+sum(1 if sentence.strip()[0].isalpha() and not sentence.strip()[0].isupper() else 0 for sentence in sentences)+sum(sum(1 if character.isupper() else 0 for character in sentence.strip()[1:]) for sentence in sentences)+len(re.findall("[\s.,;:!?][.,;:!?]", message))+len(re.findall("[^.!?]\\n", message))+len(re.findall("^\s", message))+len(re.findall("\s\s", message))+len(re.findall("[^a-zA-Z\s.,;:!?]", message))+int(not sentences[-1] and count(sentences[-1], '\\n') != 1))"""
words=" ".join(be[ord(c)] for c in code)
print(f"""import re;be=open('be').read().split();exec(''.join(chr(be.index(it))for it in '{words}'.split()))""")

[Question]
[
This challenge is a tribute to our Legendary Challenge Writer™,
[Calvin's Hobbies](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/26997/calvins-hobbies) — now renamed to [Helka Homba](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/26997/calvins-hobbies) —, in the same spirit as
[Generate Dennis Numbers](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/57719/3808).
Calvin is a pretty impressive contributor to PPCG, with the 6th most reputation
overall and probably indisputibly the best challenge writing skills out of all
of us. However, of course, for this challenge, we will focus on his user ID.
26997 might not look very interesting at first. In fact, it's *almost*
interesting in a few ways. For example, here's a chart of `26997 mod <n>` for
certain values of `n`:
```
n | 26997 % n
----+-----------
3 | 0
4 | 1
5 | 2
6 | 3
7 | 5 :(
8 | 5
9 | 6
10 | 7
```
However, 26997 is one of the few numbers that can be represented by `(n * 10)n - n`, where `n` is an integer > 0.
Here are the first few numbers which can be expressed in this way, which we
will henceforth call *Calvin Numbers*:
```

26997
2559996
312499995
46655999994

```
These *Calvin Numbers* have some interesting properties. More patterns emerge
when we right-align them and highlight all the `9`s:
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/dcuHR.png)
The ones that we're interested in for this challenge are:
* Regardless of `n`, every *Calvin Number* ends with
`10n - n`.
So, Calvin(1) ends with `9`, Calvin(2) ends with `98`, and the pattern
continues `997`, `9996`, `99995`, etc., with each successive *Calvin
Number* counting down and adding an extra `9` to the beginning.
* For values of `n` where `n % 10 == 0` (i.e. `n` is divisble by 10), Calvin(n)
ends with `102n - n`.
That is, the pattern extends for twice as many digits as normal, with an
extra number of `9`s at the beginning equal to `n`.
* When `n` is a power of `10` (`10`, `100`, `1000`, etc.), the pattern extends
even further—every single digit is either a `9` or a `0`.
This pattern is the following:
`(n + 1) * 10n - n`
nines, and
`n` zeroes. This is easier to understand in a chart (your solution will
only have to handle numbers up to 10000 anyway, so this is all you need):
```
n | Calvin(n)
-------+-----------------------
10 | 19 nines, 1 zero
100 | 298 nines, 2 zeroes
1000 | 3997 nines, 3 zeroes
10000 | 49998 nines, 4 zeroes
```
The number of nines even exhibits several properties of *Calvin Numbers*
itself, but that's too much detail for this challenge.
## Challenge
*Calvin Numbers* get far too big, far too quickly, for a "get the nth *Calvin
Number* challenge to be feasible in languages without arbitrary-precision
integers. Therefore, the challenge is to determine whether a number fits the
above patterns—that is, whether a number is a "candidate Calvin Number" or not.
Here are the criteria for a number to be considered a *candidate Calvin Number*
(hereafter referred to as a CCN for short):
* It ends with a number that fits the pattern
`10n - n` for an integer `n`.
So, to be a CCN, a number must end with 9, or 98, or 997, 9996, 99995, etc.
* If the last digit is `0`, it must also end with
`102n - n`, for the same `n` as in the
previous point.
This means that `12312312399999999999999999999999999999999999980` is not a
CCN, but `10485759999999999999999999999999999999999999980` is (it's the
correct one, in fact).
* If the value of `n` in the previous two steps is a power of 10, the entire
number must fit the third pattern described above.
## Input / Output
The input will be provided as a string, and it will always represent a number
that is less than `Calvin(10000) + 10000` (which can also be expressed as
`1050000`). (To clarify, the greatest possible input is
50000 nines, and the least possible input is `1`.)
The output should be a truthy value if the input represents a number which is a
CCN, and a falsy value otherwise. For the [definitions of these terms, see
meta](http://meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/2190/3808).

## Rules
* You may *not*, at any point in your program, handle integers larger than
`18446744073709551615` (`264`), if your language has
support for arbitrary-precision integers (or number types with a high enough
precision to allow storing numbers greater than this).
This is simply to prevent solutions that loop through all possible *Calvin
Numbers* (or all possible values of `10n - n`).
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest code in bytes will win.

[Question]

Remember those fun pinwheels that you blow on and they spin round and round? Let's code one!
A pinwheel will have the set of characters `\ | / _` drawing its center and arms. One possible pinwheel could look like this:
```
|
|
|_ ___
___|_|
|
|
|
```
But what's a pinwheel that doesn't spin? No fun! We can make it spin by rearranging the symbols:
```
/
\ /
\ /
\/\
\/\
/ \
/ \
/
```
The challenge is to create a program that takes three integers and outputs a pinwheel as specified below. The first of these is the number of arms it has, the second is the length of the pinwheel's arms, and the third is the number of times it will spin one-eighth of a revolution clockwise.
You can assume the following:
* The number of arms will always be 0, 1, 2, 4, or 8.
* All the arms will be equally spaced apart from each other.
* The initial position of the pinwheel will have its center like this:
```
_
|_|
```
* If the number of arms is 1, you may decide which direction the arm points.
* If the number of arms is 2, you may decide to make the arms point vertically or horizontally.
You can write a full program that takes input through STDIN or command-line argument, or a function that takes input through function arguments. Your program must show a sequence of outputs that shows the pinwheel spinning, each separated by at least one empty line. The center of the pinwheel should not move by more than one space. You may output as many leading and trailing spaces as necessary.
Here are some examples:
0 2 1
```
_
|_|
/\
\/
```
1 3 2
```
|
|
|_
|_|
/
/
/
/\
\/
_ ___
|_|
```
2 2 0
```
_ __
__|_|
```
8 4 1
```

This is code golf, so shortest code wins. Good luck!

# Increment which arms to draw next
arms = [(a+1)%8 for a in arms]
for i in xrange(len(grid)):
print ''.join(grid[i])
print ''
```
## Explanation
Pretty simple when it's broken down. First figure out how big of grid is required, then plot the base square or diamond.
Each arm's starting location, symbol and direction is hardcoded in for each of the 8 possible arms for the square and diamond base. Then, drawing them is easy enough.
To rotate everything, I simply switch between the square and diamond base, then increment each of the arms, rotating them clockwise once.

There have been many "Do \_\_ without *\_*\_" challenges before, but I hope that this is one of the most challenging.
## The Challenge
You are to write a program that takes two natural numbers (whole numbers > 0) from STDIN, and prints the sum of the two numbers to STDOUT. The challenge is that you must use as few `+` and `-` signs as possible. You are not allowed to use any sum-like or negation functions.
**Examples**
input
```
123
468
```
output
```
591
```
input
```
702
720
```
output
```
1422
```
**Tie Breaker:**
If two programs have the same number of `+` and `-` characters, the winner is the person with fewer `/` `*` `(` `)` `=` `.` `,` and `0-9` characters.
**Not Allowed:** Languages in which the standard addition/subtraction and increment/decrement operators are symbols other than `+` or `-` are not allowed. This means that Whitespace the language is not allowed.
[Answer]
# R (24 characters)
```
length(sequence(scan()))
```
What this does:
* `scan` reads input from STDIN (or a file)
* `sequence` generates integer sequences starting from 1 and concatenates the sequences. For example, `sequence(c(2, 3))` results in the vector `1 2 1 2 3`
* `length` calculates the number of elements in the concatenated vector
Example 1:
```
> length(sequence(scan()))
1: 123
2: 468
3:
Read 2 items
[1] 591
```
Example 2:
```
> length(sequence(scan()))
1: 702
2: 720
3:
Read 2 items
[1] 1422
```

## Perl (no +/-, no tie-breakers, 29 chars)
```
s!!xx!;s!x!$"x<>!eg;say y!!!c
```
As a bonus, you can make the code sum more than two numbers by adding more `x`s to the `s!!xx!`.
Alternatively, here are two 21-char solutions with 1 and 3 tie-breakers respectively
```
say length$"x<>.$"x<>
say log exp(<>)*exp<>
```
Note: These solutions use the `say` function, available since Perl 5.10.0 with the `-E` command line switch or with `use 5.010`. See the [edit history of this answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/posts/4047/revisions) for versions that work on older perls.

How does the solution with no tie-breakers work?
* `s!!xx!` is a [regexp replacement operator](http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/msixpodualgcer), operating by default on the `$_` variable, which replaces the empty string with the string `xx`. (Usually `/` is used as the regexp delimiter in Perl, but really almost any character can be used. I chose `!` since it's not a tie-breaker.) This is just a fancy way of prepending `"xx"` to `$_` — or, since `$_` starts out empty (undefined, actually), it's really a way to write `$_ = "xx"` without using the equals sign (and with one character less, too).
* `s!x!$"x<>!eg` is another regexp replacement, this time replacing each `x` in `$_` with the value of the expression `$" x <>`. (The `g` switch specifies global replacement, `e` specifies that the replacement is to be evaluated as Perl code instead of being used as a literal string.) `$"` is a [special variable](http://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar.html#$LIST_SEPARATOR) whose default value happens to be a single space; using it instead of `" "` saves one char. (Any other variable known to have a one-character value, such as `$&` or `$/`, would work equally well here, except that using `$/` would cost me a tie-breaker.) The `<>` [line input operator](http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#I%2fO-Operators), in scalar context, reads one line from standard input and returns it. The `x` before it is the Perl [string repetition operator](http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Multiplicative-Operators), and is really the core of this solution: it returns its left operand (a single space character) repeated the number of times given by its right operand (the line we just read as input).
* `y!!!c` is just an obscure way to (ab)use the [transliteration operator](http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#tr/SEARCHLIST/REPLACEMENTLIST/cdsr) to count the characters in a string (`$_` by default, again). I could've just written `say length`, but the obfuscated version is one character shorter. :)

### GolfScript
No +/- or tie-breakers:
```
# Twiddle some bits to get a few small integers
[]!~abs:two~abs:three!:zero~:minusone;
~[two base minusone%\two base minusone%]zip
zero:c;
{
# Stack holds [x y] or [x] with implicit y is zero
# Half adder using x y c: want to end up with sum on stack and carry back in c
[~c zero]three<zero$
~^^\
$~;:c;;
}%
[~c]minusone%two base
```
Much simpler version with two tie-breaker characters, using the same list-concatenation trick that other people are using:
```
~[\]{,~}%,
```
I'm assuming that GolfScript isn't disqualified for having `)` as an increment operator, as I'm not actually using it.

This uses no `+` or `-` characters, and only two `=` from the set of tie breaker characters, one of which is mandatory for binding `main`. The sum is done by concatenating lists of the appropriate lengths.
[Answer]
I didn't see anyone do it the Electrical Engineering way, so here's my take (in ruby):
```
def please_sum(a, b)
return (a&b !=0)? please_sum( ((a&b)<<1) , a^b ):a^b
end
```
It is a little bit ugly, but it gets the job done. The two values are compared by a bitwise `AND`. If they don't have any bits in common, there is no "carry" into the next binary column, so the addition can be completed by bitwise `XOR`ing them. If there is a carry, you have to add the carry to the bitwise `XOR`. Here's a little ruby script I used to make sure my digital logic was not too rusty:
```
100.times do
a=rand 10
b=rand 10
c=please_sum(a,b)
puts "#{a}+#{b}=#{c}"
end
```
Cheers!

**EDIT** This was posted BEFORE the rules changed to disallow `sum`...
The R language: No calls to `+` or `-`... And 9 tie-breaker characters!
```
sum(as.numeric(readLines(n=2)))
```
Example:
```
> sum(as.numeric(readLines(n=2)))
123
456
[1] 579
```
The `[1] 579` is the answer 579 (the `[1]` is to keep track of where in the result vector your are since in R all values are vectors - in this case of length 1)
Note that R has `+` operators just like most languages - it just so happens that it has `sum` too that sums up a bunch of vectors.
In this case, `readLines` returns a string vector of length 2. I then coerce it to numeric (doubles) and sum it up...
Just to show some other features of R:
```
> 11:20 # Generate a sequence
[1] 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
> sum(1:10, 101:110, pi)
[1] 1113.142
```
[Answer]
# The R language
New rules, new answer, same language. No calls to `+` or `-`
**UPDATE** Using `scan`, it drops to 11 tie-breaker characters (and 27 characters in all).
```
as.numeric(scan())%*%c(1,1)
```
Original: 13 tie-breaker characters!
```
as.numeric(readLines(n=2)) %*% c(1,1)
```
Example:
```
> as.numeric(readLines(n=2)) %*% c(1,1)
123
456
[,1]
[1,] 579
```
This time the result is achieved by matrix multiplication. The answer is displayed as a 1x1 matrix.

## APL (no +/-, no tie breakers, 8 or 10 characters)
This entry is similar to the other ones that concatenate sequences generated from the input and find the length... but it's in APL, which can appear confusing even for a small problem like this. I used [Dyalog APL](http://www.dyalog.com), which offers a free educational license.
Code:
```
⍴⊃⍪⌿⍳¨⎕⎕
```
From right to left:
* Each quote-quad ( `⎕` ) requests input from the user and evaluates it.
* The each operator ( `¨` ) applies the index generator function ( `⍳` ) to each of the items in the array to its right.
* This flattens the resulting array of arrays into one array. The input array is reduced to a flat list by the reduction operator ( `/` ), which folds the array using the concatenation function ( `,` ). For the sake of this challenge, the one-dimensional reduction operator ( `⌿` ) is used, along with the concatenation operator along the first axis ( `⍪` ).
* As a result of using the reduction operator, the array is *enclosed*, which is like placing it in the bag; all we see on the outside is a bag, not its contents. The disclose operator ( `⊃` ) gives us the contents of the enclosed array (the bag).
* Finally, the shape-of function ( `⍴` ) gives us the lengths of the dimensions of an array. In this case, we have a one-dimensional array, so we obtain the number of items in the array, which is our result.
If we need to explicitly output the result, we can do so like this:
```
⎕←⍴⊃⍪⌿⍳¨⎕⎕
```
Comparable Python code, with corresponding APL symbols above:
```
import operator
⎕← ⍴ ⌿ ⍪ ¨ ⍳ ⎕ ⎕ ⊃
print (len (reduce (operator.__add__, [map (lambda n: range (1, n+1), [input(), input()])][0])))
```
I'd like to know if there's a shorter version possible in APL - another, simpler version I came up with that has more tie breakers (although still at 8 characters) is: `⍴(⍳⎕),⍳⎕`.

# J, ~~15~~ 7 chars, 1 tie breaker, incomplete program
This is my J attempt. It is not a full program, because I have not yet figured out how to write one. Just put that line in a script to get the function `p` that can be used for adding an arbitrary amount of numbers. It is a monad and takes a list of numbers to add (such as `p 1 2 3 4`):
```
p=:#@#~
```
The idea is very simple. The function is written in tacit aka pointless style. Here is a pointed definition:
```
p=:3 :'##~y'
```
Read from right to left. In the tacit version, `@` composes the parts of the function. (like a ∘ in mathematics [(f∘g)(x) = f(g(x)])
* `y` is the parameter of `p`.
* `~` makes a verb reflexive. For some verb `m`, `m~ a` is equal to `a m a`.
* `#` (copy, `a#b`): Each element in `a` is replicated `i` times, where `i` is the element at the same index as the current element of `a` of `b`. Thus, `#~` replicates an item `n` `n` times.
* `#` (count, `#b`): Counts the number of elements in `b`.
Conclusion: J is awsome and less readable than Perl (that makes it even more awsome)
## Edits
* 15 -> 7 using `#` instead of `i.`. Yeah! Less chars than golfscript.

# Your task
In your language of choice: create a program that outputs `1`
This `1` may either be a string or value equivalent to the number one.
# The shifting catch
If you take the **unicode codepoint** (or whatever codepoint encoding your languages uses if not UTF) for each character in your program, and shift each of those values by the **same non-zero amount**, then the result will be another program (potentially executable in different language) that also outputs `1`.
**Find the unicode codepoint of a character:** [here](https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm).
**E.g;**
If your program looked like: `X?$A`, and somehow output `1`, and it also miraculously outputs `1` after shifting all of it's Unicode indices up by, say, 10; then that process of shifting looks like this:
```
original program: X?$A
letter codepoint shift new-codepoint new-letter
X 88 +10 98 b
? 63 73 I
$ 36 46 .
A 65 75 K
new program: BI.K
```
**Note:** The Unicode codepoint will often be represented in the form similar to `U+0058`. `58` is the **hexadecimal** codepoint . In **decimal**, that's `88`. The link above will list `88` under the `UTF (decimal)` encoding section. That is the number you want to increment or decrement!
# Examples of valid outputs
```
1
"1"
'1'
[1]
(1)
1.0
00000001
one
```
**Note:** If your language only supports the output of `true` as an equivalent to `1`, that is acceptable. Exit-codes are also valid outputs.
# Scoring
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so **lowest bytes wins**!

Derived from the 05AB1E program by shifting by 5 *Unicode* codepoints.
The Japt program performs division, but don't be fooled into thinking that the 05AB1E program is performing multiplication. The `*` (square) operator acts only on the first `1`; the output is actually just an implicit print of the second `1`.
The same idea works with the 05AB1E/Japt program pairs `1-1` and `3/3` (shift 2) and `1+1` and `5/5` (shift 4).

Not much by the way of trickery going on here except prepending the print in the shift version with a `+` so that when we shift it the first character of the second program to the `#` character it doesn't send any characters into a negative codepoint (if we naiÃàvely shifted `e` back to `#`, `(` would be sent to `\x-` which doesn't exist).

Both programs contain unprintables. The first program contains characters with the codepoints: `[34,32,34,32,34,32,11,9,12,10,11,9,12,10,34,32,11,9]`. The second program with codepoints: `[32,30,32,30,32,30,9,7,10,8,9,7,10,8,32,30,9,7]`. In Whitespace, all characters except for spaces (codepoint 32), tabs (codepoint 9), and newlines (codepoint 10) are ignored, so both programs are actually the following:
```
SSSTN
TN
ST
```
Where `S`, `T`, and `N` are spaces, tabs, and newlines respectively.
This program will:
* `SSSTN`: Push 1
* `TNST`: Print it as integer to STDOUT
It's actually possible to create 3 x 27 bytes, 4 x 36 bytes, and even 5 x 45 bytes programs by having the codepoints apart by 2, still resulting in the same basic program above after all non-whitespace characters are ignored.

# Explanation
Because of the small size and lack of mirrors, the programs are mostly executed linearly.
### Non-shifted Program
```
= Reverse direction of memory pointer
- Sets the current memory edge to the difference of the left and right neighbors (0 - 0 = 0)
1 Multiply current memory edge by 10 then add 1 (0 * 10 + 1 = 1)
! Outputs the value of current memory edge to stdout as an integer
@ Terminate the program
```
### Shifted Program
```
1 Multiply current memory edge by 10 then add 1 (0 * 10 + 1 = 1)
! Outputs the value of current memory edge to stdout as an integer
% Sets the current memory edge to the modulo of the left and right neighbours
(1 % 0) causes program to exit because of division by 0
4 Does not matter since the program as already exited

## Description
Through trials and tribulations involving factorizing large numbers and looking for consequtive factors, I realized that changing the 87654 to 58116 would be enough. Then, I factorized 58116 as 87\*668. Then I realised that 01234 = 668, so I just needed to change 87654 to 87 and remove the 01234 entirely. This is accomplished with a comment.

# [CJam, by Mauris](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/54499)
### Description
Mauris' original code does the following:
```
"f~" e# Push that string on the stack.
:i e# Cast each to integer. Pushes [102 126].
:# e# Reduce by exponentiation. Pushes 102^126.
```
No other of CJam's mathematical operators would yield a number that large for small inputs, so `:#` cannot be modified. Since `#`, when used for exponentiation, only takes integers as input, `:i` cannot be removed as well. This leaves only one place to modify the input: the string `"f~"`.
No matter how many characters the string holds, the result will be a left-associative power tower. CJam supports characters in the range from 0 to 65535 (with the exception of surrogates), so we have to express the output as **bn×k×j**, where **b**, **n**, **k** and **j** are integers in that range.
The decimal logarithm of the integer that results from the modified code is slightly smaller than **log10(2.44×10242545) = log10(2.44) + 242545**, so we can divide this value by the logarithms of all possible bases to find proper values for **n×k×j**.
In fact:
```
$ cjam <(echo '65536,2>{2.44AmL242545+1$AmL/i:I#s8<"24399707"=}=SIN')
5 347004
```
Comparing the first 8 digits turned out to be sufficient.
This means that we can express the output as **5347,004 = 1562557,834 = 1259×102×126**, so it suffices to **replace `"f~"` with `"㴉"` or `"} f~"`**.
### Code
```
"㴉":i:#
```
or
```
"} f~":i:#
```
Note that the spaces in the ASCII code should actually be a tabulator.
Attempting to execute this code in the online interpreter is probably a bad idea, but here's how you can verify the results from the command line:
```
$ wget -q https://bpaste.net/raw/f449928d9870

# [Python 2, rp.belrann](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/54608/19349)
Change the outermost list comprehension into a set comprehension. Partial credit to @mbomb007, who eliminated all of the "boring" solutions (swapping `x` and `y` around, tweaking operators, changing the range).
```
'~'*sum({(x,y)[x%2] for x in[y for y in range(8)]})
```
### Explanation:
In the original, `[(x,y)[x%2]for x in[y for y in range(8)]]` generates the following list:
```
[0, 7, 2, 7, 4, 7, 6, 7]
```
This is because in Python 2.7, the `y` in the inner list comprehension *leaks* into the enclosing scope at it's last known value (which, at the end of a range, is 7). So, in the tuple, `y` is always 7. `x`, however, goes through the list as normal, ranging from 0 to 7. When `x` is even, it chooses the value of `x`, when it's odd, it chooses `y` (which is always 7). I noticed that if I included exactly one 7 and all the rest of the values of `x`, I got 19; then I realized that I could transform the outer comprehension into a set comprehension, which would eliminate all duplicate values and leave me with exactly 19.
This was pretty clever, I don't think I've ever used a set comprehension before. Kudos.

# [Bash, Dennis](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/54524/42620)
Original code:
```
echo {{{1..9}}}

Original output:
```
{{1}} {{2}} {{3}} {{4}} {{5}} {{6}} {{7}} {{8}} {{9}}
```
Modified code:
```
echo {,{1..9},}
```
Modified output:
```
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
```
Explanation:
In Bash you can output a comma separated list of items inside a pair of braces, like this:
```
echo {a,b,c}
```
prints
```
a b c
```
So the modified code is printing out a list of nothing, the numbers 1..9, nothing.

^3y21 Compute 3^(2 * 21).

Since **156490583352162063278528710879425690470022892627113539022649722 - 58227066** gives **156490583352162063278528710879425690470022892627113538964422656**, which equals **226 × 3 × 7 × 7477 × 381524422711 × 17007550201751761 × 2288745700077000184147**, the desired output can be obtained by replacing `^3y21` with something that evaluates to a divisor of this product and is larger than **58227066**.
The `^` in the original code suggests that we might use it to calculate a power of **2**, the **3** that we could calculate a fitting divisor of the form **3 × 2n**.
Both are misleading. Solutions with a Levenshtein distance of 3 (`%CG^2 26`, `%CG^y2 13`, `%CG^4y13`) or 4 (`%CG.<3y13`) are readily found, but the solution at distance 2 requires a different approach.
The lowercase alphabet (`G`) has 26 letters, so its power set (the set of all strictly increasing sequences of lowercase letters) has **226** elements. By **replacing `y2` with `yG`**, we compute this power set.
We can retrieve the set's length by **replacing `3` with `l`**, which leaves us with `^lyG1`, i.e., **226** raised to the first power.

[Question]
[
Given a list of digits 1 through 9, output whether each digit is grouped together as a single contiguous block. In other words, no two of the same digit are separated by different digits. It's OK if a digit doesn't appear at all. Fewest bytes wins.
**Input:** A non-empty list of digits 1 through 9. This can be as a decimal number, string, list, or similar sequence.
**Output:** A consistent [Truthy](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2190/interpretation-of-truthy-falsey) value if all the digits are grouped in contiguous blocks, and a consistent [Falsey](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2190/interpretation-of-truthy-falsey) value if they are not.

function(s)!any(duplicated(rle(s)$v))
```
This is a function that accepts the input as a vector of digits and returns a boolean. To call it, assign it to a variable.
Not the shortest but I thought it was a fun approach. We run length encode the input and extract the values. If the list of values contains duplicates then return `FALSE`, otherwise return `TRUE`.

t!=tXSP=
```
The output is an array containing only ones for truthy, or an array containing at least one zero for falsey.
[**Try it online!**](http://matl.tryitonline.net/#code=dCE9dFhTUD0&input=Jzg4NDQ0MzMzJw)
### Explanation
Consider the input `22331`, which satisfies the condition. Testing if each character equals each other gives the 2D array
```
1 1 0 0 0
1 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0
0 0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 1
```
The final result should be truthy if *the rows of that array (with rows considered as atomic) are in decreasing lexicographical order*. For comparison, input `22321` gives the array
```
1 1 0 1 0
1 1 0 1 0
0 0 1 0 0
1 1 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 1
```
in which the rows are not in order.
```
t! % Take string input. Duplicate and tranpose
= % Test for equality, element-wise with broadcast: gives a 2D array
% that contains 0 or 1, for all pairs of characters in the input
t % Duplicate
XS % Sort rows (as atomic) in increasing order
P % Flip vertically to obtain decreasing order
= % Test for equality, element-wise

The first regex matches digits which *are* separated by other digits, so we get a `0` for valid inputs and anywhere between `1` and `9` for invalid inputs (due to the greediness of the the `.+`, we can't get more than `n-1` matches for `n` different digits).
To invert the truthiness of the result, we count the number of `0`s, which is `1` for valid inputs and `0` for invalid ones.

[Because Java...](http://meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/5829/16043)
Shamelessly stealing borrowing the regex from [this answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/77634/16043) because I started out trying to do this with arrays and math manipulation, but it got hideously complex, and regex is as good a tool as any for this problem.
```
import java.util.regex.*;public class a{public static void main(String[] a){System.out.println(!Pattern.compile("(.)(?!\\1).*\\1").matcher(a[0]).find());}}
```
Ungolfed:
```
import java.util.regex.*;
public class a {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(!Pattern.compile("(.)(?!\\1).*\\1").matcher(args[0]).find());
}
```
Laid out like a sensible Java person:
```
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(.)(?!\\1).*\\1");
Matcher m = p.matcher(args[0]);
System.out.println(!m.find());
}
}

Uses the same approach as [Luis Mendo's MATL answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/77665/20260): creates a vector for each entry which indices equal it, and checks that the result is sorted in decreasing order.
`(<$>l).(==)<$>l` is shorter version of `[map(==a)l|a<-l]`. The function `(<$>l).(==)` that takes `a` to `map(==a)l` is mapped onto `l`.
`scanl1 min` takes the cumulative smallest elements of `l`, which equals the original only if `l` is reverse-sorted. `(==)=<<` checks if the list is indeed invariant under this operation.
A recursive strategy also gave **37 bytes**:
```
f(h:t)=t==[]||f t>(elem h t&&h/=t!!0)

`^:` test for spaces - always returns 0s, as the input consists only of digits. The `:` here means monadic.
`^:\` repeat until convergence. This will return a pair of the original argument and a list of 0s of the same length as the argument.
`='` group each. To "group" a list means to make a dictionary that maps each distinct element of the list to the positions where it occurs.
`,/'` raze each, i.e. ignore the keys and concatenate the values. For the list of all 0s this will result in 0,1,...,length-1. For the other list, it will depend on the presence of non-continuous blocks - if there aren't any, the result will be 0,1,...,length-1 too.

At least, it beats Java :D. Lua sucks at manipulating strings, but I think it is good enough :).
It takes its input as a command-line argument, ~~and outputs `1` for truthy cases and `false` for falsy ones.~~ Now outputs using its exit code. Exit code 0 for truthy, and 1 for falsy

### Explanation
Inspired by [Dennis's J answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/77705/16766), though the details are a bit different.
Given two lists, `‚äê` works as follows: for each element of its right argument, it finds the first index of that value in its left argument.
We're using `⊐˜`, which passes the same list as both left and right arguments. The result is a list, for each digit, of the index of that digit's first occurrence.
If the digits are grouped together, these indices will occur in ascending order. However, if some copies of digit A are separated by digit B, B's (larger) index will come between the copies of A's (smaller) index.
```
≡⟜∧⊐˜
⊐˜ First index of each digit in the argument list
≡⟜ The result is identical to
‚àß The result, sorted ascending

This is different from [My Word can beat up your Word](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/1128/my-word-can-beat-up-your-word) as it is less complex and only requires you to calculate it, and not compare them.
To find the digital root, take all of the digits of a number, add them, and repeat until you get a one-digit number. For example, if the number was `12345`, you would add `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, and `5`, getting `15`. You would then add `1` and `5`, giving you `6`.
### Your task
Given an integer ***N*** (0 <= ***N*** <= 10000) through **STDIN**, print the digital root of ***N***.
### Test cases
```
1 -> 1
45 -> 9

A lot of (now deleted answers) tried using modulo 9 to get the result. This is a great shortcut, but unfortunately does not work for multiples of 9. MATL has a function for modulo on the interval `[1, n]`. Using this modulo, we have `1 % 3 == 1, 2 % 3 == 2, 3 % 3 == 3, 4 % 3 == 1`, etc. This answer simply takes the input modulo nine using this custom modulo.

This works because converting each digit to unary with no separator between digits creates a single unary number which is equal to the sum of all digits.

until(<10)$sum.map(read.pure).show
```
[Try it on Ideone.](http://ideone.com/lm3Tma)
**Explanation:**
```
until(<10)$sum.map(read.pure).show
show -- convert int to string
map( ). -- turn each char (digit) into
pure -- a string
read. -- and then a number
sum. -- sum up the list of numbers
until(<10)$ -- repeat until the result is < 10

[Question]
[
Inspired by [I'm not the language you're looking for!](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/55960/im-not-the-language-youre-looking-for)
# Challenge
Choose two different programming languages, and write a program that prints the following line to stdout (or equivalent):
```
This program errors out in <the current language> :P
```
and then generates different kind of error in each of the two languages.
# Rules
Some rules are taken from the original challenge.
* In the output, language names should exactly follow:
+ The name listed on [TIO](https://tio.run/#), optionally excluding the version number and/or the implementation name (e.g. if you use `JavaScript (Node.js)` as one of your languages, you can use `JavaScript` for your language name, but not `JS` or `Javascript`.)
+ The full name on the official website (or GitHub repo) if your language of choice is not available on TIO.
* Neither program should take any input from the user.
* You may use comments in either language.
* Two different versions of the same language count as different languages.
+ If this is done, the program should output the major version number, and if running on two different minor versions, should report the minor version also.
+ You should not use prebuilt version functions (this includes variables that have already been evaluated at runtime).
* **Two different command line flags in the same language also count as different languages** as per [this meta consensus](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/14337/command-line-flags-on-front-ends), as long as the flags don't include code fragments (such as `-Dblahblah...` in C).
+ If this is done, the program should also output the flag used.
* Two errors are considered different unless both errors are generated by the same semantics (such as "division by zero", "segmentation fault", or "index out of range").
+ If a language's runtime does not exit after an error, but reports the error in some way to the user, it's a valid error.
+ If a language does not discriminate the error messages but has a known list of reasons that cause error, **you must specify the reason, not the error message.**
An example is `><>`, which has only one error message `something smells fishy...`, but [esolangs wiki page](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish#Errors) has a list of error reasons.
* Syntax error is not allowed unless it is generated by calling `eval()` or similar.
* Throwing something manually (via `throw`(JS), `raise`(Python), `die`(Perl) or similar) is allowed, but all of them are considered as one kind of error.
* Error by invalid command in 2D or golflangs is also allowed (and treated as one kind of error).
# Examples
### Python and Ruby
* Python: `This program errors out in Python :P` to stdout, then undefined identifier
* Ruby: `This program errors out in Ruby :P` to stdout, then index out of bounds
### C89 and C99
* C89: `This program errors out in C 89 :P` to stdout, then division by zero
* C99: `This program errors out in C 99 :P` to stdout, then segmentation fault
Note that the version number should *always* be separated from the language name by a space.
### Python 2.7.9 and Python 2.7.10
* Python 2.7.9: `This program errors out in Python 2.7.9 :P` to stdout, then syntax error on eval
* Python 2.7.10: `This program errors out in Python 2.7.10 :P` to stdout, then key error on dict
### Perl and Perl `-n`
* Perl: `This program errors out in Perl :P` to stdout, then invalid time format
* Perl `-n`: `This program errors out in Perl -n :P` to stdout, then try to open a file that doesn't exist

```
* Python 2 got `NameError: name 'a' is not defined`

**Python 2:**
* `/` is integer division, 3 / 2 got 1; int(3 / 2 \* 2) is 2.
* print is a statement, so the first statement read as `print((...)*1)`, here `*1` means repeating the string once.
* second statement referenced a non-existing variable, which caused the error.

Segmentation fault in C++, floating point exception in C.
`auto` is defaulted to `int` in C so `(int).5` becomes `0`, so trying to divide by it is basically division by zero.
In C++ `1/d` is 2, adding it to address of `d` and trying to change that address' value throws a segfault.

main(n){{n=puts("This program errors out in C99 :P")/0/**/;}}
```
As you can see in the Java-highlighted code above, the first line is a comment due to `//`, and the C-code is a comment due to `/* ... */`, resulting in:
```
interface a{static void main(String[]a){System.out.print("This program errors out in Java 8 :P");a[1]="";}}
```
So it prints to STDOUT, and then tries to access the second program-argument (when none given), so it produces the *ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException*.

main(n){{n=puts("This program errors out in C99 :P")/0/**/;}}
```
Not sure how to correctly enable C-highlighting, because `lang-c` results in the same highlighting as Java.. But `//\` will comment out the next line, which is the Java-code, resulting in:
```
main(n){{n=puts("This program errors out in C99 :P")/0;}}
```
So it prins to STDOUT, and then gives a division by zero error.

Whitespace is a stack-based language that ignores everything except for spaces, tabs and new-lines. Here is the same program in pseudo-code:
```
Push all unicode values of "P: ecapsetihW tuo srorre margorp sihT", minus 111
Start LOOP
Push 111
Add the top two stack values together
Print as character
Go to the next iteration of the LOOP
```
It will error as soon as it's done printing all values and the stack is empty when it tries to do the *Add* (`TSSS`), which requires two items on the stack.
I've generated the constant `111` with [this Java program](https://tio.run/##fVLva9swEP3ev@K4TxJKTQYrY3ZEaWEfDMsYc/YDujJkV3XUObInXQJh5G/35NqOk230i4Tu3T3dvXdPaqcunx5@tm1RKe9hqYz9fQHQbPPKFOBJUbh2tXmATYBYRs7Y8u4eFO/SAPoAOO23FYEEdTe/T54RYwn8RlWV9h2QWtKldtHy5tuPLzfvP7@bQSrfXCWnLGP6p5ENsccfa8c6PiPTxCxeXc0TI8TQwdSDRJzRrJFjVV@X70lDHvcdRqWm2xDwjB/LAUgG8lX9dW0C0qhC3xqr3L7nZfml4ckx10lGkf61VZVnDb/G7MN3m2FMXLgpqZE0Pg7DbR6ZiyptS1ozDovjrCdt/DP@CeOJkhPNBKchbs6/7M9s70lvonpLUROmocoy7MslipFUYBKkRZEKhBhQvKRGyodv/2Zm5@0/Zx0uwjEs0eDSS9ydxXYQZKdc8AWzDAWzi/k1rjDGDPn5QhTxuFdUn1F1KF8qWkcq98xy/j/nSchi8fptMDFwr4at6XVzmrbOhgwM/mI/y6Ft29XaeGhcXTq1Ae1c7TwECcJYMA0F8cc/), which I've also used for previous ASCII-related challenges I've made in Whitespace. In addition, I've used some copies for the spaces to save bytes.
One important thing to note is the trick I've used to place the Java program within the Whitespace answer. Let me start by explaining how a number is pushed in Whitespace:
`S` at the start: Enable Stack Manipulation;
`S`: Push what follows as Number;
`S` or `T`: Positive or Negative respectively;
Some `S` and/or `T`, followed by an `N`: Number as binary, where `T=1` and `S=0`.
Here some examples:
* Pushing the value 1 will be `SSSTN`;
* Pushing the value -1 will be `SSTTN`;
* Pushing the value 111 will be `SSSTTSTTTTN`.
* Pushing the value 0 can be `SSSSN`, `SSTSN`, `SSSN`, `SSTN`, `SSSSSSSSSSSSN`, etc. (When you use `SSSN` (or `SSTN`), we don't have to specify the binary part, because it's implicitly 0 after we've stated its sign.)
So just `SSSN` is enough for pushing the value `0` (used for the letter `o` in this case). But, to place the Java program in this golfed Whitespace program, I needed an additional space, so the first two `o`s are pushed with `SSSN`, but the third one is pushed with `SSSSN`, so we have enough spaces for the sentence of the Java program.

Running as BASIC produces a `division by zero error in 1`, running as machine code a `can't continue error`
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/qjY9i.png)
---
**Explanation:**
The first two bytes of a `.prg` file are the load address in little endian, this is `$0801` (decimal `2049`) here, which is the start address for BASIC programs on the C64. `run` starts this program in the BASIC interpreter, while `sys 2049` is the command to run a machine code program at address `2049`.
As you can see, the first line in the BASIC view is a comment (`rem`) containing "garbage" and part of the required output string. This is the machine code program and some filler bytes. You see some "random" BASIC commands there because CBM-BASIC programs contain the commands "tokenized" as single byte values, and some of these values are the same as opcodes used in the machine code. The machine code reuses the string present in the second line of code for its output.
The first two bytes of a line of a basic program are a pointer to the next line, here `$0850`. This is carefully chosen because `50 08` is also a 6502 branch instruction jumping over the next 8 bytes when the overflow flag is not set -- this is used to jump somewhere in the middle of this "comment" line when executed as machine code. The `50` is the opcode used here, so the second line has to start at `0850` for the trick to work. That's why you see a sequence of 5 `20` bytes (space characters) to fill up. The machine code actively jumps to the ROM error handling routine to give a "can't continue" error.
The BASIC code is pretty straightforward; as a second argument to "print", two uninitialized variables (having a value of `0` in CBM BASIC) are divided, triggering the "division by zero" error.

In Python print() is a None, so trying to get its negative doesn't make sense, so Python throws an error.
In C printf() returns an int, so dividing it by zero gives a floating point exception.

This pivots upon the meaning of the operator `=` in the two languages. In Attache, it compares for equality, but in Mathematica, it performs variable assignment. `:=` does variable assignment in both languages.
Now, in Attache, `Print` returns an array of strings printed, and subtraction is not possible with strings and integers (namely, `0`). So, a type error is thrown. In Mathematica, `Print` returns `Null`, and Mathematica is just fine subtracting `0` from that. But, we manually throw that null with `Throw`, giving a `nocatch` error.

### What Python sees
```
1#DEFSTR S
s="QB64"
'';s="Python"
print"This program errors out in "+s+" :P"
CLS-1
```
The first line is just the bare expression `1` (a no-op) followed by a comment.
The second line sets `s` to the string `"QB64"`, but the third line immediately changes it to `"Python"`. The fourth line prints the message accordingly.
The fifth line is another bare expression, but it raises a `NameError` because of the undefined name `CLS`.
### What QB64 sees
```
1#DEFSTR S
s="QB64"
'';s="Python"
print"This program errors out in "+s+" :P"
CLS-1
```
The first line, numbered `1#`, defines every variable whose name starts with `S` (case-insensitive) as a string variable. This means we don't have to use `s$`, which would be a syntax error in Python.
The second line sets `s` to the string `"QB64"`. `'` starts a comment in QB64, so the third line doesn't do anything. The fourth line prints the message accordingly.
The fifth line tries to `CLS` (clear screen) with an argument of `-1`. But since `CLS` only accepts arguments of `0`, `1`, or `2`, this produces the error `Illegal function call`. The error creates a dialog box asking the user if they want to continue execution or abort. Technically, this means the error isn't fatal (in this case, you can pick "continue execution" and the program simply ends without further problems); but the OP has explicitly allowed languages that can continue after an error, so QB64's behavior should be fine.

Both languages apply inverse `İ` to `0` which results in `inf` for Jelly and `zoo` for M. I don't know why `zoo` represents infinity in M. Ask Dennis.
The important difference is that Jelly's infinity is equal to itself while M's infinity is not. Thus the "is equal to itself" monad `=`` yields `1` in Jelly and `0` in M. From here:
```

Assumes that `<cstdio>` declares `printf` in the global namespace (in addition to `std`) and that the basic execution character set uses ASCII values, which are both true using g++ on Linux.
The basic catch here is that C++17 eliminated trigraphs from the language.
In C++14, `"??/0"` contains a trigraph and is equivalent to `"\0"`. So `*"??/0"` is zero, and `c` is set to zero. The number 4 is passed as an argument to `printf`, then the division by `c` causes undefined behavior. On Linux, this happens before `*p` comes into the picture, and the program gets a `SIGFPE`.
In C++17, `"??/0"` is exactly the length 4 string it appears to be. So `*"??/0"` is `'?'` or 63, and `c` is set to 3. The number 7 is passed as an argument to `printf`, and this time the division by `c` is valid. Since `p` is a namespace member, it gets zero-initialized at the start of the program and has a null pointer value, so `*p` is undefined behavior. On Linux, because the program attempts to modify memory at address zero, the program gets a `SIGSEGV`.

Notes: The code assumes MATLAB is installed with no toolboxes (or that the names of any toolbox that is installed don't start with letters A to M).
How it works:
The code gets the version data for the interpreter and toolboxes using `ver`. Running `v(1).Name` extracts the name of the first product, this will return either `Octave` or `MATLAB` assuming the note above holds true.
The program will then display the required string, complete with `Octave` or `MATLAB` as required.
Finally we do `v(--pi)`.
In Octave, `--` is the pre-decrement operator. As such it attempts to pre-decrement which fails as the variable `pi` doesn't exist (`pi` is actually function, not a variable).
```
This program errors out in Octave :P
error: in x-- or --x, x must be defined first
```
In MATLAB, the pre-decrement operator doesn't exist. As such the statement is interpreted as `v(-(-pi))` which is equal to just `v(pi)`. However `pi` is not an integer, so cannot be used to index into the `v` array, giving an error.

Segfault in C. Invalid operation in Stax. I love how everything that is not a comment is actually used in Stax.
## C
This is how C sees it. The first line is no-op. The second line prints the message with `printf` and then segfaults due to the `=0`.
```
AA=~1;
char* s;main(){*(int*)(printf("%s C :P\n",s))=0;}char* s=
"This program errors out in";;;/*dp`UGYC\`Q*/
```
## Stax
Stax program terminates whenever it tries to pop or peek from empty stack. This makes it a little bit tricky and we have to prepare a stack that is not empty. `AA=~1;` does this while remaining a valid statement in C.
```
AA=~1;
AA= 10=10, returns a 1
~ Put it on the input stack
1 Pushes a 1 to main stack (*)
; Peek from the input stack (**)
```
What is really useful is the `~`, it prepares a non-empty input stack so that the `;` can be executed without exiting the program. However, the two `1`s on the main stack are also used later.
The second line begins with a tab and starts a line comment in Stax.
```
"...";;;/*dp`UGYC\`Q*/
"..." "This program errors out in"
;;; Peek the stack three times so that we have enough operands for the next two operations
/ Divide, this consumes one element of the main stack
* Multiply, this consumes another element
d Discard the result, now the TOS is the string
p Pop and print without newline
`UGYC\` Compressed string literal for " Stax :P"
Q Print and keep the string as TOS
* Duplicate string specific times
Since the element under the top of stack is `1` that was prepared in (**), this does nothing
/ Invalid operation error
```
The invalid operation is trying to perform `/` operation for a string as the TOS (2nd operand) and the number `1` from (\*) as the 1st operand, which is invalid.
If the two operands are swapped, it would be a valid operation in Stax.

# [Foo](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Foo) / [CJam](https://sourceforge.net/projects/cjam/), ~~51~~ 50 bytes
```
"This program errors out in ""Foo"/'C'J'a'm" :P"Li
```
This exits with a divide-by-zero error in Foo, and a `NumberFormatException` in CJam.
## To CJam:
* A string literal (between quotes) pushes itself to the stack. Items from the stack are automatically printed without a separator when the program terminates.
* `/` tries to split the string `This program errors out in` on the substring `Foo`. Since the string does not contain the substring, this yields a singleton array containing the original string, which displayed in exactly the same way.
* `'x` is a character literal for `x`, which is printed the same way as a one-character string. This way, we can push data for CJam that is ignored by Foo (I haven't figured out how to make a loop not execute in Foo).
* `Li` tries to cast the empty string to an integer, which fails. Everything from the stack is printed.
## To Foo:
* A string literal (between quotes) prints itself.
* `/` tries to divide the current cell by the top stack element (which is an implicit `0`). For some reason, divide-by-0 errors aren't fatal in Foo, so this just prints the message
```
Only Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
```
to STDERR and keeps going.
* Unrecognized characters (`'C'J'a'm` and `Li`) are ignored.

* `<var>=<a>,<b>,...` creates a tuple in Python, but in Lua it creates an argument list, from which only the first member is taken.
* `#` starts a comment in Python, but is the length operator in Lua. Extra props to Python for allowing tuples to end in a comma.
* `[[...]]` is Lua's multiline string syntax, meaning it doesn't even see Python's print function; this is necessary due to Lua using `..` for string concatenation and not `+`.
* Python errors after seeing `a`, an undefined variable; Lua after `z=#print(x.."Lua :P")`. Using just `#print(x.."Lua :P")` for Lua doesn't work, as that raises an error before the code is even executed.

# PHP 7+ / JavaScript, ~~90~~ 89 bytes
This uses 2 languages with very similar syntax, allowing to write this code on both languages.
The language separation is done by a property not present in JavaScript: PHP considers `[]` (empty array) to be a falsy value while it is truthy in JavaScript (because it is an object and objects are **always** truthy, even `new Boolean(false)`).
```
$X='This program errors out in %s :P';([]?console.log($X,'JavaScript'):printf($X,PHP))();
```
---
## Execution:
Will focus on the following piece of code: `([]?console.log($X,'JavaScript'):printf($X,PHP))();`.
The string attribution works the same in both languages.
This code uses the "ternary operator" ([Javascript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Conditional_Operator), [PHP](http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php#language.operators.comparison.ternary)), which works mostly the same way in both languages.
### Javascript
Javascript will run the `console.log($X,'JavaScript')` piece, which returns `undefined`.
Later on, when you try to execute `(...)()`, you get an `Uncaught TypeError: (intermediate value)(intermediate value)(intermediate value) is not a function` (in Google Chrome).
### PHP
PHP will execute the `printf($X,PHP)` piece.
In PHP, the [`printf`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.printf.php) function [returns the length of the output](http://php.net/manual/en/function.printf.php#refsect1-function.printf-returnvalues).
PHP has an interesting functionality: it can execute functions who's name is stored in a variable (or, since PHP7, as the result of an expression), which prevents a syntax error.
PHP then will try to run the function who's name is the result of the expression `[]? ... :printf($X,PHP)` (which is the number `33`).
But that interesting functionality has a caveat: only accepts strings (duh!).
This causes a `Fatal error: Function name must be a string`, because `33` is an `int`.

In Forth, `.( This program errors out in Forth )` prints the necessary message and the rest just makes it blow up because it's an undefined word.
In Vim, that first part writes `s program errors out in Forth :P )` to the buffer, `0iThi` puts `Thi` at the start of the line, and `:s/F.*/Vim` turns that last part into `Vim :P` instead of `Forth :P )`. `:!a` simply tries to run a command named `a` and errors because it doesn't exist.

# Perl 5 and C, 95 bytes
```
//;$_='
main(){puts(puts("This program errors out in C :P"));}//';/T.*n /;print$&,"perl :P";die
```
`//;` is basically a NOP in perl, and is a comment in C.
So the C program is effectively:
```
main(){puts(puts("This program errors out in C :P"));}
```
Which prints the required string, then tries to run `puts(32)`. This is technically undefined behavior in C, but it causes a segmentation fault on TIO and every system I have access to.
The perl program treats the whole C program as a string, uses the regex `/T.*n /` to match `This program errors out in` and then prints that and `perl :P`. `die` causes the program to crash with the error `Died at script_name line 2`.
If you don't like that as an error, `1/0` is the same length and crashes with an `Illegal division by zero` error. I just like `die` more ;)

Apparently, consecutive string literals (such as `'1'"2"`) are valid in Python.
The `print` function, after printing its input (`"This program errors out in Python :P"`), returns `None`. The program attempts to negate that with `-`, which raises a TypeError:
```

, #Output the last character

```
After using `'1k,` to print `"This program errors out in Befunge :P"`, the stack is empty. `=` does a system-execute call, passing the string on top of the stack (which is empty) to the interpreter. FBBI implements this using a C `system()` call, so it calls `system("")`, which leads to a segmentation fault:

**Objective** Given an integer `N > 0`, out the smallest integers `A`, `B`, and `C` so that:
1. All of `A`, `B`, and `C` are strictly greater than `N`;
2. `2` divides `A`;
3. `3` divides `B`;
4. and `4` divides `C`.
This is a code-golf, so the shortest answer in bytes wins.

## Python 2, 32 bytes
```
lambda n:[n+2&-2,n/3*3+3,n+4&-4]
```
Bit arithmetic for 2 and 4, modular arithmetic for 3.
I found four 7-byte expressions for the next multiple of `k` above `n` but none shorter:
```
n-n%k+k
~n%k-~n
n/k*k+k
~n/k*-k
```
Any gives 34 bytes when copies for `k=2,3,4`, and 33 bytes if combined:
```
[n/2*2+2,n/3*3+3,n/4*4+4]
[n/k*k+k for k in 2,3,4]
```
But, 2 and 4 are powers of 2 that allow bit tricks to zero out the last 1 or 2 bytes.
```
n+2&-2
n+4&-4
```
This gives 6 bytes (instead of 7) for getting the next multiple, for 32 bytes overall, beating the `for k in 2,3,4`.
Unfortunately, the promising-looking `n|1+1` and `n|3+1` have the addition done first, so incrementing the output takes parentheses.

This is an unnamed function which takes a single integer as input and returns a list of the multiples.
The `Ceiling` function takes an optional second parameter which tells it to round up to the next multiple of the given number. Thankfully, it *also* automatically threads over its second argument such that we can give it a list of values and in turn we'll get rounded up multiples for all of those.

## 1: init
```
i1+#i2341ø
```
`i1+#i` sets the input to `1 + input`; this is because we are to work on the numbers strictly greater than the input. `234` initializes the tape with our iteration values, and `1ø` jumps to the beginning of the next line.
## 2a: loop
```
i(2[¤, q!^$]æl0eq!~
```
`i(` puts the input at the STOS, and `2[` makes a new stack with the top 2 elements. `¤` duplicates the stack, and `,` does modulus. If there is a remainder, `q!^` breaks out of the loop to go to (b). Otherwise, we're fine to print. `$` removes the extra thingy, `]` closes the stack, and `æ` prints it nicely. `l0wq!~` terminates iff the stack contains zero members.
## 2b: that other loop
```
>(1+)31j
q!^
```
`(1+)` adds 1 to the STOS, and `31j` jumps to the part of the loop that doesn't take stuff from the stack. And profit.

This outputs the results in the order `C, B, A` separated by linefeeds.
### Explanation
As usual, a short Labyrinth primer:
* Labyrinth has two stacks of arbitrary-precision integers, *main* and *aux*(iliary), which are initially filled with an (implicit) infinite amount of zeros. We'll only be using *main* for this answer.
* The source code resembles a maze, where the instruction pointer (IP) follows corridors when it can (even around corners). The code starts at the first valid character in reading order, i.e. in the top left corner in this case. When the IP comes to any form of junction (i.e. several adjacent cells in addition to the one it came from), it will pick a direction based on the top of the main stack. The basic rules are: turn left when negative, keep going ahead when zero, turn right when positive. And when one of these is not possible because there's a wall, then the IP will take the opposite direction. The IP also turns around when hitting dead ends.
Despite the two no-ops (`"`) which make the layout seem a bit wasteful, I'm quite happy with this solution, because its control flow is actually quite subtle.
The IP starts in the top left corner on the `:` going right. It will immediately hit a dead end on the `?` and turn around, so that the program actually starts with this linear piece of code:
```
: Duplicate top of main stack. This will duplicate one of the implicit zeros
at the bottom. While this may seem like a no-op it actually increases
the stack depth to 1, because the duplicated zero is *explicit*.
? Read n and push it onto main.
: Duplicate.
: Duplicate.
```
That means we've now got three copies of `n` on the main stack, but its depth is `4`. That's convenient because it means we can the stack depth to retrieve the current multiplier while working through the copies of the input.
The IP now enters a (clockwise) 3x3 loop. Note that `#`, which pushes the stack depth, will always push a positive value such that we know the IP will always turn east at this point.
The loop body is this:
```
# Push the stack depth, i.e. the current multiplier k.
/ Compute n / k (rounding down).
) Increment.
# Push the stack depth again (this is still k).
* Multiply. So we've now computed (n/k+1)*k, which is the number
we're looking for. Note that this number is always positive so
we're guaranteed that the IP turns west to continue the loop.
" No-op.
! Print result. If we've still got copies of n left, the top of the
stack is positive, so the IP turns north and does another round.
Otherwise, see below...
\ Print a linefeed.
Then we enter the next loop iteration.
```
After the loop was traversed (up to `!`) three times, all copies of `n` are used up and the zero underneath is revealed. Due to the `"` at the bottom (which otherwise seems pretty useless) this position is a junction. That means with a zero on top of the stack, the IP tries to go straight ahead (west), but because there's a wall it actually makes a 180 degree turn and moves back east as if it had hit a dead end.
As a result, the following bit is now executed:
```
" No-op.
* Multiply two zeros on top of the stack, i.e. also a no-op.
The top of the stack is now still zero, so the IP keeps moving east.
@ Terminate the program.

Your network scanning tool is annoyingly picky about input, and immediately crashes if you feed it an IPv4 address that contains improper characters or isn't properly formatted.
>
> An IPv4 address is a **32-bit numeric address** written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be **zero to 255**.
>
>
>
We need to write a tool to *pre-validate* the input to avoid those crashes, and our specific tool is picky: A *valid* format will look like `a.b.c.d` where a, b, c and d:
* Can be a `0` or a natural number with **no leading zeros**.
* Should be between 0 - 255 (inclusive).
* Should **not** contain special symbols like `+`, `-`, `,`, and others.
* Should be decimal (base `10`)
**Input**: A string
**Output**: Truthy or Falsey value (arbitrary values also accepted)
**Test Cases**:
```
Input | Output | Reason
| |
- 1.160.10.240 | true |
- 192.001.32.47 | false | (leading zeros present)
- 1.2.3. | false | (only three digits)
- 1.2.3 | false | (only three digits)
- 0.00.10.255 | false | (leading zeros present)
- 1.2.$.4 | false | (only three digits and a special symbol present)
- 255.160.0.34 | true |
- .1.1.1 | false | (only three digits)
- 1..1.1.1 | false | (more than three periods)
- 1.1.1.-0 | false | (special symbol present)
- .1.1.+1 | false | (special symbol present)
- 1 1 1 1 | false | (no periods)
- 1 | false | (only one digit)
- 10.300.4.0 | false | (value over 255)
- 10.4F.10.99 | false | (invalid characters)
- fruit loops | false | (umm...)
- 1.2.3.4.5 | false | (too many periods/numbers)

# X86\_64 machine code: ~~18~~ 16 bytes
Edit: This answer doesn't quite work, as
1. I am using `inet_pton` from the standard C libraries, which means I need the extern. I didn't include the extern in my byte count though.
2. I used the red zone as a result for the actual address, but called a function which also could've used the red zone. It fortunately doesn't on my machine, but some odd standard library build might use it which could cause undefined behavior.
And yeah, the whole thing is pretty much being done by an already written function
Anyway, this is what I got: `48 89 fe 6a 02 5f 48 8d 54 24 80 e9 00 00 00 00`
Assembly:
```
section .text
extern inet_pton
global ipIsValid
ipIsValid:
mov rsi, rdi
;mov rdi, 2 ; change to 10 for ipv6
push 2
pop rdi ; thank you peter
lea rdx, [rsp - 128]
jmp inet_pton
```
# Explanation:
Take a look at `inet_pton(3)`. It takes a string IP address and puts it in a buffer you can use with `struct sockaddr`. It takes 3 arguments: the address family (`AF_INET` (ipv4), 2, or `AF_INET6` (ipv6), 10), the ip address's string, and a pointer to the output. It returns 1 on success, 0 for an invalid address, or -1 for when the address family is neither `AF_INET` or `AF_INET6` (which will never occur because I'm passing a constant to it).
So I simply move the string to the register for the second argument, set the first register to 2, and set the third register to the red zone (128 bytes below the stack pointer) since I don't care about the result. Then I can simply `jmp` to `inet_pton` and let that return straight to the caller!
I spun up this quick test program to test your cases:
```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netinet/ip.h>
extern int ipIsValid(char *);
int main(){
char *addresses[] = {
"1.160.10.240",
"192.001.32.47",
"1.2.3.",
"1.2.3",
"0.00.10.255",
"1.2.$.4",
"255.160.0.34",
".1.1.1",
"1..1.1.1",
"1.1.1.-0",
".1.1.+1",
"1 1 1 1",
"1",
"10.300.4.0",
"10.4F.10.99",
"fruit loops",
"1.2.3.4.5",
NULL
};
for(size_t i = 0; addresses[i] != NULL; ++i){
printf("Address %s:\t%s\n", addresses[i],
ipIsValid(addresses[i]) ? "true" : "false");
}
return 0;
}
```
Assemble with `nasm -felf64 assembly.asm`, compile with `gcc -no-pie test.c assembly.o`, and you'll get:
```
Address 1.160.10.240: true
Address 192.001.32.47: false

275 resembles the constant `FILTER_VALIDATE_IP`
5\*\*9 is being used instead of the constant `FILTER_FLAG_IPV4`. This is sufficient, because `5**9 & FILTER_FLAG_IPV4` is truthy, which is exactly what PHP does in the background, as Benoit Esnard pointed out.
Here, `filter_var` returns the first argument, if it's a valid IPv4 address, or false if it's not. With `+!!`, we produce the output required by the challenge.

# PHP 7+, ~~37~~ ~~35~~ 32 bytes
This uses the builtin function [`filter_var`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php), to [validate that it is an IPv4 address](http://php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.validate.php).
For it to work, you need to pass the key `i` over a GET request.
```
<?=filter_var($_GET[i],275,5**9);
```
Will output nothing (for a `falsy` result) or the IP (for a `truthy` result), depending on the result.
You can try this on:
~~<http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/639c22281ea3ba753cf7431281486d8e6e66f68e>~~
<http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/ff6aaeb2b2d0e0ac43f48125de0549320bc071b4>
---
This uses the following values directly:
* 275 = FILTER\_VALIDATE\_IP
* ~~1<<20 = 1048576 = FILTER\_FLAG\_IPV4~~
* 5\*\*9 = 1953125 (which has the required bit as "1", for 1048576)

I've looked into using the function [`ip2long`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.ip2long.php), but it works with non-complete IP addresses.
Non-complete IPv4 addresses are considered invalid in this challenge.
If they were allowed, this would be the final code (only for PHP 5.2.10):
```
<?=ip2long($_GET[i]);
```
Currently, it isn't explicit in the documentation that this will stop working (when passed an incomplete ip) with newer PHP versions.
After testing, confirmed that that was the case.

Here is an alternative version that allows leading zeros, but does so consistently (octets may be represented by a maximum of 3 decimal digits):
`^((2(?!5?[6-9])|1|0?)\d\d?\.?\b){4}$`
Or allow any number of leading zeros:
`^(0*(2(?!5?[6-9])|1?)\d\d?\.?\b){4}$`
Or if allowed to have undefined behavior regarding leading zeros (as it so happens, a leading zero is only allowed only in 2-digit octets):
`^((2(?!5?[6-9])|1?)\d\d?\.?\b){4}$`

```
## Explanation
The trouble with a pure Python solutions is that a program crashing is considered indeterminate. We could use a "lot" of code to convert an exception into a proper truthy/fasly value. However, at some point the Python interpreter handles this uncaught exception and returns a non-zero exit code. For the low-low cost of changing languages to your favourite Unix shell, we can save quite a bit of code!
Of course, this is vulnerable to injection attacks... Inputs such as `1.1.1.1'); print('Doing Something Evil` are an unmitigated threat!

**Explanation**
Each octet can be 0 - 255 :
* starts with 25 and having 0-5 as last digit
* start with 2, has 0-4 as second digit and any digit at the end
* starts with 1, and 00 - 99 as rest digits
* has only 2 digits - 1-9 being the first one and any digit thereafter
* or just a single digit
An octet can end with a (.) or just end, with the condition that it cannot do both , the negative lookahead `(?!$)` takes care of this case

This simple challenge is very similar to this one: [How many days in a month?](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/146555) The only difference is you **yield the number of days in a month given the index of the month** instead of its name.
The reason I ask this near-duplicate is curiosity about mathematical patterns in the sequence of numbers. For example, a simple observation is that even-indexed months have 31 until August and then it flips — but golf that observation and/or make better ones that yield better strokes...
**INPUT**: Integer indicating the month; `1` through `12`. (Optionally, you can accept `0`-indexed month numbers from `0` to `11`.)
**OUTPUT**: Number of days in that month. February can return `28` or `29`.
**Complete I/O table:**
```
INPUT : OUTPUT
1 31
2 28 or 29
3 31
4 30

As noted in the final line of the program, this program takes months as 1-based indices, and can take both simple numbers and numbers with a leading 0. (How's *that* for code comments?)
In pseudocode, my approach was basically like this:
```
N = input(); // Poetic doesn't support native numerical input, only input as ASCII codes; I basically have to write myself a number input routine every time
DIGIT = 49 // ASCII value for "1"; I would set it to 3, but that would be slightly longer
if (N>7) N++; // this accounts for the July->August parity shift
if (N!=2) { // if not February...

0-indexed.
Instead of indexing into a string, I get the day offset (from 28) for the month from a packed bit array. Luckily all the offsets fit in a two-bit representation, so the bit array fits in an integer: I just shift and mask the offset and add 28.
```

This is a straight port of [ErikF's C answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/195904). The above bytes define a function that accepts a zero-indexed month (in the `ECX` register), and outputs the number of days (in the `AL` register, the lower-order bytes of the `EAX` register). The result is calculated by adding 28 to a fix-up parameter obtained from a sequenced vector of 2-bit values.
```
B8 B3 FB EE 00 mov eax, 0x00EEFBB3 ; load bit vector into EAX
01 C9 add ecx, ecx ; \ index into the bit vector

Note that we can do the `AND` and `ADD` on byte-sized operands, which results in 2-byte instructions, rather than the 3-byte instructions required to operate on double-words.
The big bloat here is that initial 32-bit `MOV` instruction required to load the bit vector, but this implementation is still significantly smaller than a solution implementing the mathematical algorithm cited by [Adam](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/195887/58518): `(31 - ((month % 7) % 2) - (month == 1))`.

Solution from k-map, which simplified to A=w+x+z and B=zw'+z'w. A was negated and became a subtraction.
```
int f(int n){ //N is a 4-digit binary number wxyz.
return (n^n/8) %2 //Add 1 if (w XOR z)
- (n==2) //Subtract 1 if !(w OR x OR z), which simplifies to (w'x'z'),
//which is only satisfied when N is 0000 or 0010.
//Since n is never 0, this condition is only satisfied when n==2.
+ 30; //Add 30, the base month length.
}
```
At first I tried adding 1 or 2 instead of 1 or 1, but my solution was 87 bytes (if I remember correctly). I tried that with 0-indexing and 1-indexing, but they ended up being the exact same length.
47 bytes: `int f(int n){return(n/8|n/4|n)%2+(n^n/8)%2+29;}`
54 bytes: `int f(int n){return((n>>3|n>>2|n)&1)+((n^n>>3)&1)+29;}`
60 bytes: `int f(int n){return(n>>3&1|n>>2&1|n&1)+((n&1)^(n>>3&1))+29;}`
Edit: Thanks to Herman L. for the improvement to 54 bytes, I'm glad someone found my approach interesting even though it's clearly not the shortest!
Edit 2: Thank you to ceilingcat for the improvement to 47 bytes. This uses division instead of bit shifting, which saves one byte in each of three places. It also replaces `&1` with `%2` in two places. Both of these functionally return the last byte of the integer, but the modulo operator has precedence over addition. This means that two pairs of parentheses can be removed, saving four bytes. In total, by mixing arithmetic and bitwise operators, ceilingcat managed to improve the answer by seven bytes!
Edit 3: Another improvement by ceilingcat brings it down six bytes by doing bitwise comparison with 13, `-!(n&13)`. Since this is only true in one case, simplified to an equality check.

### How?
When passed into `Buffer()`, the accented letters used in the challenge are turned into two bytes \$(b\_0,b\_1)\$, corresponding to their UTF-8 encoding. The non-accented letters are turned into a single byte \$b\_0\$ corresponding to their regular ASCII code (or 1-byte UTF-8 encoding).
*Examples:*
```
Buffer('À') // --> <Buffer c3 80>
Buffer('B') // --> <Buffer 42>
```

We use the following formula to convert the 2nd byte of accented letters to an index \$n\$ into a 13-character lookup string of non-accented letters:
$$n=((b\_1\times13)\bmod 59)\bmod 13$$
This results in `NaN` for non-accented letters, which are simply left unchanged.

# T-SQL, ~~35~~ 33 bytes
```
SELECT v COLLATE Greek_BIN FROM t
```
Input is taken from a pre-existing table *t* with `CHAR(1)` column *v*, [per our IO standards](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2447/default-for-code-golf-input-output-methods/5341#5341).
This code simply displays the input after converting it to a different *SQL collation*.
[SQL collations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/collations/collation-and-unicode-support?view=sql-server-ver15) define sorting rules as well as case and accent sensitivity properties for SQL text data. They can even define the valid code page, which is how this particular trick works. [Code page 1253](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1253) ("Greek - ANSI") doesn't include any of the accented characters in the question, so the collation conversion maps each to its non-accented version.
I based my version on [this StackOverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56791799/21398), which uses a more standard collation with a much longer name: `SQL_Latin1_General_CP1253_CI_AI`.
**EDIT**: Saved 2 bytes by replacing `Greek_CS_AI` with `Greek_BIN`. Both use code page 1253, which is really the part that matters, not the "accent insensitive" property.
SQL supports nearly 4000 collations, run this on your SQL server to return all collations that use code page 1253, ordered by the shortest name:
```
SELECT name, bytes=len(name), description, codepage=COLLATIONPROPERTY(name, 'CodePage')
FROM fn_helpcollations()
WHERE COLLATIONPROPERTY(name, 'CodePage') = 1253
ORDER BY len(name)
```
It is possible to replace characters individually, but that is much longer (**79 Bytes**):
```
SELECT TRANSLATE(v,'ÁÀÃÂÇÉÊÍÕÓÔÚáàãâçéêíõóôú','AAAACEEIOOOUaaaaceeiooou')FROM t

As shown in the tables above, each group of \$4\$ accented letters is mapped to a single non-accented letter. So, given a code point \$n\$, we compute the index:
$$i=\left\lfloor\frac{n}{4}\right\rfloor\bmod 8$$
We pick the corresponding letter from the lookup string `"ACEIOOU"` and then apply the correct case.

# PHP 5.4+, 32 bytes
This uses the [`htmlentities()`](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php) function to return the HTML entity for the character.
```
<?=htmlentities($argn.$argn)[1];
```
For the `"AÁÀÃÂ"` (Ä is missing from the list), it returns `"AÁÀÃÂ"`.
Do you see a problem? The character I want is on position 0 or 1.
So, I just duplicate the input. Problem solved!
You can try this on <http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/690dbfcff4c6dec4170954333c62b9b472eaaa93>

Explanation: The Transliterate command has some special characters `E`, `O` and `o`, so these need to be quoted. To avoid repetition, the `o`s are processed last as the last character in the replacement string is automatically repeated. The remaining repetition is one byte less than the overhead of the `T` command; compare this 72-byte 58-character alternative (which also corrupts eth and n with tilde):

[Question]
[
A [traditional Western die](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice#Construction) is a cube, on which the integers 1 to 6 are marked on the faces. Pairs that add to 7 are placed on opposite faces.
As it is cube, we can only see between 1 and 3 faces (inclusive)1 at any given time. Opposite faces can never be seen at the same time.
Your task is to write a program or function which, given a list of integers representing sides on a die, determines if it is possible to see these faces at the same time.
1Okay, maybe you can see 4 or 5 faces with a pair of eyes, but for the purpose of this challenge we observing the die from a single point.

# Rules:
* Your submission may assume the input list:
+ Is non-empty.
+ Only contains values which satisfy `1 ≤ n ≤ 6`.
+ Contains no duplicate elements.
* You may *not* assume that the input is sorted.
* Your submission should output a [truthy / falsy value](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2190/interpretation-of-truthy-falsey): truthy is the faces can be seen at the same time, falsy otherwise.
* This is [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'"), so the shortest answer (in bytes) wins!
* [Standard loopholes](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1061/loopholes-that-are-forbidden-by-default) are forbidden by default.

## Test Cases
**Truthy:**
```
[6] (One face)
[6, 2] (Share a side)
[1, 3] (Share a side)
[2, 1, 3] (Share a vertex)
[3, 2, 6] (Share a vertex)
```
**Falsy:**
```
[1, 6] (1 and 6 are opposite)
[5, 4, 2] (2 and 5 are opposite)
[3, 1, 4] (3 and 4 are opposite)
[5, 4, 6, 2] (Cannot see 4 faces)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] (Cannot see 6 faces)

Takes input as any number of separate parameters. Returns `0` or `1`.
```
(a,b,c,d)=>!(d|(a^b^c)%7)^!c
```
### Test cases
```
let f =
(a,b,c,d)=>!(d|(a^b^c)%7)^!c
console.log('[Truthy]')
console.log(f(6 ))
console.log(f(6, 2 ))
console.log(f(1, 3 ))
console.log(f(2, 1, 3))
console.log(f(3, 2, 6))
console.log('[Falsy]')
console.log(f(1, 6 ))
console.log(f(5, 4, 2 ))
console.log(f(3, 1, 4 ))
console.log(f(5, 4, 6, 2 ))
console.log(f(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6))
```
### How?
Below are simplified versions of the main expression according to the number of parameters provided, undefined variables being coerced to either **0** or **false**:
```
# of param. | simplified expression | comment
------------+------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1 | !(a % 7) ^ 1 | always true
2 | !((a ^ b) % 7) ^ 1 | false for (1,6), (2,5) and (3,4)
3 | !((a ^ b ^ c) % 7) | see the table below
4+ | !(d | (a ^ b ^ c) % 7) | always false
```
*NB*: The order of **(a,b,c)** doesn't matter because they're always XOR'd together.
The trickiest case is the 3rd one. Here is a table showing all possible combinations:
```
a | b | c | a^b^c | %7 | =0? | faces that sum to 7
--+---+---+-------+----+-----+--------------------
1 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | Yes | none
1 | 2 | 4 | 7 | 0 | Yes | none
1 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 6 | No | 2 + 5
1 | 2 | 6 | 5 | 5 | No | 1 + 6
1 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 6 | No | 3 + 4
1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 0 | Yes | none
1 | 3 | 6 | 4 | 4 | No | 1 + 6
1 | 4 | 5 | 0 | 0 | Yes | none
1 | 4 | 6 | 3 | 3 | No | 1 + 6
1 | 5 | 6 | 2 | 2 | No | 1 + 6
2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 5 | No | 3 + 4
2 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 4 | No | 2 + 5
2 | 3 | 6 | 7 | 0 | Yes | none
2 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 3 | No | 2 + 5
2 | 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | Yes | none
2 | 5 | 6 | 1 | 1 | No | 2 + 5
3 | 4 | 5 | 2 | 2 | No | 3 + 4

This is an adaptation of the ~~31~~ ~~30~~ 28 byte version below, but it prevents more than one split from occurring in a somewhat more complex manner. Upon matching a split, `\2` captures the intervening elements, including commas – or just a single comma if there are no intervening elements.
How this prevents more than one split would be simple to explain if `(?(2)\2)` were used instead of `\2?+`. Then the mechanism would be that on subsequent attempts to match a splitting after one has already occurred, that would be forced to coincide with matching a duplicate element, or two commas in a row.
But `\2?+` will successfully make an empty match if `\2` is not an exact match at that position. However, note that if this did happen, it could only result in false negatives (returning "False" incorrectly) – never false positives – because it could make the pattern inside the negative lookahead match when it shouldn't, but it can't prevent a match that should have happened.
All lists of 4 or more numbers will return "False", so the addition of false negatives won't matter. And lists of 2 or fewer elements can only match one split anyway (where `\2` captures a single comma alone), so no false negatives could result there.
So we only need to consider lists of 3 elements:
* Only two splits can occur at most, and if that is the case, `\2` will contain exactly one comma. The first split prevents a second split from being matched because `\2?+,` would only match two commas in a row.
* Or if a split matches one intervening element, only one split can occur anyway, so there's no place for a second split to match.
And here is a test harness with all 156 lists of 3 or fewer elements, demonstrating this regex to work correctly:

This is an adaptation of the ~~33~~ ~~32~~ ~~31~~ 29 byte version below, but it prevents more than one split from occurring with `\2?+(,)`, which forces a split to coincide with matching two commas in a row (which can never happen in the input specification) if a split has already occurred.

This works by asserting that no two numbers add up to exactly 7. It does this by consuming exactly 7 `x` characters – a split is allowed to occur at any point within this, but not more than once.
```
^ # Anchor to start
(?! # Negative lookahead - assert that the following can't match:
.*: # Skip to after any occurrence of a bounding character,
# which denotes the beginning of a number's unary
# representation.
(?(1) # Conditional upon whether \1 is set:
# If \1 is set:
x # tail -= 1
|
# If \1 is unset:
# (This is only allowed to match once within this loop. There is no
# need to verify afterward that it matched exactly once, because the
# input specification allows us to assume there will be no numbers
# greater than 6 – so, 7 will never appear.)
x # tail -= 1
(
:.*\b # Complete the match for the current number, and
# skip to the beginning of any subsequent number's
# unary representation.
)? # Match the above optionally
){7} # Iterate the above exactly 7 times; this can never result in
# the 7th iteration ending in a split, as that would require
# matching 7 x's in a row, but the input is guaranteed not to
# contain a 7.
: # Assert that tail == 0 (i.e, that this is the end of a
# number's unary representation)
)
```
Strangely, this actually works with Python's `re` library, even though `(?(2)`...`)` is a forward-declared conditional, and `re` doesn't support forward-declared or nested backreferences; `\2` in that position would throw an error.
Equally strangely, it works in Boost, even though that regex engine doesn't support nested or forward-declared backreferences either, and a `\2` in that position would cause Boost to throw an error as well.
The previous 33 byte version did not work properly with Python's `re`; it used a nested conditional, and Python silently treated that as a no-op, making the regex return some false negatives. But strangely, that version works in Python[`regex`](https://github.com/mrabarnett/mrab-regex), even though that engine doesn't support nested backreferences either.

This adds Java support to the above ~~33~~ ~~32~~ ~~31~~ 29 byte version, by removing the use of the conditional `(?(2)`...`)`. Support for Python and Boost is dropped, due to the use of the nested backreference `\2`.

A previous 41 byte version using lookbehind appears to expose a bug in Python[`regex`](https://github.com/mrabarnett/mrab-regex):

Upon investigation, the bug actually has nothing to do with lookbehind. I [reported it here](https://github.com/mrabarnett/mrab-regex/issues/494) and it is now fixed.

This now ports the ~~33~~ ~~32~~ 31 byte version's algorithm to support ECMAScript:
```
^ # Anchor to start
(?! # Negative lookahead - assert that the following can't match:
.*: # Skip to after any occurrence of a bounding character,
# which denotes the beginning of a number's unary
# representation.
(?=x*(.*)) # \1 = the entire string following the current number's
# unary representation
(
x # tail -= 1
# The below is only allowed to match once within this loop. There is
# no need to verify afterward that it matched exactly once, because
# the input specification allows us to assume there will be no numbers
# greater than 6 (so, 7 will never appear).
(?=\1) # Assert that the entire string following the current
# position matches what was captured in \1, which
# accomplishes two things – it asserts that we
# haven't skipped to another number yet, and that
# we've finished consuming the entire current number,
# i.e. that tail == 0.
.+\b # Skip to the beginning of any subsequent number's
# unary representation (the first character skipped
# will be a comma).
| # or...
x # tail -= 1 (and do nothing else)
){7} # Iterate the above exactly 7 times; this can never result in
# the 7th iteration ending in a split, as that would require
# matching 7 x's in a row, but the input is guaranteed not to
# contain a 7.
\b # Assert that tail == 0 (i.e, that this is the end of a
# number's unary representation)
)
```
The previous ~~73~~ 69 byte version worked by treating every possible pair of numbers that add to 7 as a separate case, like the decimal version below:
```
^(?!(?=.*\bx\b).*x{6}|(?=.*\bxx\b).*\bx{5}\b|(?=.*\bxxx\b).*\bx{4}\b)
```
# ~~Regex (.NET), 46 bytes~~
```
^(?!.*\b(){7}(?<-1>x)+,.*\b(?<-1>x)+(?(1)^)\b)
```
Obsoleted by the ~~33~~ 32 byte version above.
# ~~Regex (Perl / Boost / Python / Ruby / PCRE / .NET), 58 bytes~~
```
^(?!.*\b(x)?(xx)?(xxxx,.*\b|,.*\bxxxx)(?(2)|xx)(?(1)|x)\b)
```
Obsoleted by the versions above. Worked by capturing two numbers in binary, and asserting that the second number has all 3 of its lowermost bits flipped when compared to the first number (and asserting that this doesn't occur anywhere in the input).
# Regex (ECMAScript or better), ~~38~~ 37 bytes
```
^(?!(?=.*1).*6|(?=.*2).*5|(?=.*3).*4)
```
Takes its input in decimal. There is no need for delimiters, because the full range fits into a single digit.

Pure regex is very limited in what math can be done on decimal input, so this version just asserts that no two numbers occur anywhere in the list that add up to 7, by exhaustively listing all the pairs that could do so.

Takes input as a space-separated list of integers, printing `1` for true and `0` for false.
Explanation:
```
$(7 ... $)
```
For every integer in the input...
```
:*
```
Place it in the notepad, and multiply it by itself.
Cubically can only use values in one of its nine [memory locations](https://cubically.github.io/docs/memory.html), and the notepad is the only one that can be freely read or written, so I perform the next calculation "scaled up" by the current input value itself, memory location 7--since it's nonzero and doesn't change until we read a new integer (or character) with `$` (or `~`). This is shorter than using a face we don't modify as the scale factor, because the notepad is the implicit argument for `*` and the input is the implicit argument for `-`.
```
-!F
```
Subtract the input from the notepad. If this makes it 0 (the original input was 1), rotate the front face of the memory Rubik's Cube once clockwise.
Doing this once replaces a row of `0`s on face 0 with `1`; doing this again replaces those `1`s with `5`s.
```
-!S-!B'-!B'-!S-!F
```
Repeat for the other five possible values: rotate the front if it's 6, the middle if it's 2 or 5, and the back if it's 3 or 4. (The back rotations have to be clockwise with respect to the front, so they're actually counterclockwise `B'` with respect to the back.)
```
:0+>2
```
After the loop, set the notepad to the sum of face 0, add it to itself, and check if it's strictly greater than the sum of face 2.
Face 0 contains a mix of `0`, `1`, and `5`, and we want to discriminate between cases where it contains any `5`s and cases where it doesn't. The greatest sum it can have without `5`s is 9, and the least sum it can have with `5`s is 15 (since only whole rows at a time are moved without being mixed, it has to be a multiple of 3), so doubling it turns 9 into 18, which is the sum of face 2 (since none of the rotations performed in the loop affected face 2).
```
=%
```
Output whether or not the notepad equals the input buffer.
The input buffer is set to 0 after exhausting the input, and the notepad contains 1 if the faces can't all be seen or 0 if they can, so comparing them for equality inverts that to satisfy the challenge's truthiness requirement.

`-e` prints `True` if the computation has any result, and `False` otherwise.
Let's take `[3,1,4]` as an example. `ᵒ+` returns the 2d array `[[6,4,7],[4,2,5],[7,5,8]]`, which contains `7`. So the result is `False`.

`1 & 6 | 2 & 5 | 3 & 4` is a junction consisting of the numbers 1 and 6, OR the numbers 2 and 5, OR the numbers 3 and 4. This junction is an element of (`∈`) the input list `*` if it contains 1 and 6, or 2 and 5, or 3 and 4. That result is then negated (`!`) to get the required boolean value.

Very simple answer, ports the approach of the 5 byte Jelly.
## Explained
```
7ε↔¬
7ε # Abs difference of 7 with each item in the input
↔ # Remove items in that list that are also in the input
¬ # Logical negation - empty list turns into 1, non-empty turns into 0

Relatively trivial golf of [Erik's solution](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/149893/85334).
```
7_ For each face, subtract it from 7.
Ƒ Is the list of results unchanged by
ḟ filtering out elements of the original input?
```
Needless to say, a simple `7_f` would win if inverted output were permitted.

Prints `Jabberwocky` for valid inputs and nothing otherwise.
### Explanation
Unfolding the zigzag control flow, the program is really just:
```
i.e16r.RyAno
i. Read all input and duplicate it.
e16 Push "16".
r Range expansion to get "123456".
.R Duplicate and reverse.
y Transliterate, replaces each face with its opposite.
A Intersection with input.
n Logical NOT, turns empty strings into "Jabberwocky"
and everything else into an empty string.

Explanation:
```
i,j;r;
f(v,l)int*v;
{
// i and r are both initialized to -1. i is incremented by 1 before the
// loop, making its value equal 0, and for each iteration of the loop,
// until it's out of bounds of v.
for(i=r=-1;++i<l;)
// j also loops through the vector
for(j=0;j<l;)
// If v[i]+v[j] == 7, set r to 0, otherwise multiply it by
// something. If i == j, the sum will never equal 7 since a whole
// number multiplied by 2 is never odd. Otherwise, the numbers
// will equal 7 if they're on opposite sides of the die.
r*=v[i]+v[j++]-7;
return r;
}
