Super Small Quine

gfoot · Post by **gfoot** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:54 pm

Hmm, I'm getting penalised for printing a newline after the last line. If my input ends with a newline, the area calculation charges me for a whole additional line. I think that's a bit unfair - the next line should only be counted if it's non-empty. The final newline ought to be considered a terminator for the previous line.

good point, i'll fix that

Whoo! That was tricky!

As for the extra newline: is it also fixed for the normal quine? I remember running into that problem aswell...

okay, should be fixed

efe: I'm assuming you're doing a 1-liner too?
Do you want to share code?

@therethinker:

My solution:

Code: Select all

0@@@@@@ 01^gx?s!P1+$

Have you got the same? If not, please post yours too!

Yeah, the trick seems to be working out how to do bounded loops on one line. Mine is a bit different, but it comes out the same length.

It would be nice if $ with an empty call stack terminated the current thread, ending the program if all threads have finished.

I took a completely different approach for this which seems to work by luck

Code: Select all

0@s!@~@~@@@~01^gP1+$

efe: i got exactly the same as you

therethinker · Post by **therethinker** » Wed Dec 31, 2008 6:38 pm

I also had the same exact code as efe & m!nus!

Mine was identical to ShardFire, except I used spaces instead of tildes, and put them in slightly different places (there's some flexibility there).

My solution is essentially the same as the one of ShardFire and gfoot.

mine:

Code: Select all

0@s!@ @@@ @ 01^gP1+$

And, it seems that printing some more \0 will result in 'incorrect', but the return message will not contain those \0 in the tail. So I gets something like:

Code: Select all

<font color=red>Expected: 
'0@s!@@@@@@ x01vgP1+$', got: 
'0@s!@@@@@@ x01vgP1+$'</font><br> Your King of the Hill score is 20. <font color=aa0000><b>'0@s!@@@@@@ x01vgp1+$' is incorrect.</b></font><p>

I posted the same as gfoot except I have used ShardFires positions, I was lazy to submit vertical one using x instead of 1^.

Actually vertical solution is a nonsense:(.
I have improved my solution to @s!@0@ @@@ 01^gP1+$? length 19 with a dummy char.
With option to use @0@@ @@ instead and write all except the $ just to shorten it one char...
