Congratulations. You'll have similar and harder challenges later, so we can't fully discuss here. Enjoy! :)

I've been working on some string functions for working with HVM and in it's current iteration puts out code which is a !!!whole byte!!! shorter than DaymItzJack's:

Code: Select all

029+3*45*5*0^8+0^6+1^3+99*6+48*4^0^7^3-8^9+5^4-5^29+4*9^6^0^9^7-89*0^5?P09-g

My first solution used the same strategy as DaymItzJack's, doing the sum with a different number.

After, I've changed this method a little bit and managed to get the solution to this challenge down to 68 instructions. I think this method won't get me further though.

I've recently unlocked the next challenge in the series which requires getting this code down to 56 instructions.

Does anyone have a little hint about how to reduce this code even more? :(

I got it to 57 instructions.

My avatar shares my reaction.
