"blind" programming [challenge]

Name: Anonymous 2015-04-29 23:33

Here's a stupid idea.

You know things like "print this pattern:

*
***
*****
*******
*********

can be done wiht any dumb challenges like this..

try to solve it by writing the program into this thread - NO TESTING! Then try it out.

Using Perl.
my $STAR = "*";

print $STAR x 3;
print $STAR x 5;
print $STAR x 7;
print $STAR x 9;

Ok, that was pretty shitty because I forgot newlines.
use feature "say";
my $STAR = "*";

say $STAR;
say $STAR x 3;
say $STAR x 5;
say $STAR x 7;
say $STAR x 9;

I also screwed up using m instead of code, which strips initial spaces... I meant the challenge:

but people can attempt either. Or an X pattern, or a box.

let ca s = [ r a b c | a <- (' ' : s) | b <- s | c <- s ++ " " ] ; r '*' _ = '*' ; r _ '*' _ = '*' ; r _ _ '*' = '*' ; r _ _ _ = ' ' in mapM putStrLn . take 5 . iterate ca $ " * "

darn it, fixed version after testing:

let ca s = [ r a b c | a <- (' ' : s) | b <- s | c <- tail s ++ " " ] ; r '*' _ _ = '*' ; r _ '*' _ = '*' ; r _ _ '*' = '*' ; r _ _ _ = ' ' in mapM putStrLn . take 5 . iterate ca $ " * "

This is in C,

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

// N >= 1
#define N 5

void f(char *s, size_t n)
{
size_t i;
for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
if(s[i] == '*') s[i-1] = s[i+1] = '*';
}

int main() {
char s[2*N] = {0};
memset(s, ' ', sizeof s - 1);
s[sizeof s / 2 - 1] = '*';
for(puts(s); *s != '*'; puts(s))
f(s);
return 0;
}

C, the X version
#include <stdio.h>

// N => 1
#define N 5

int main() {
int i, j;
char s[64], out[2*N] = {0};
for(i = 0; i < 2*N - 1; i++) {
for(j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
sprintf(s, "%%.%ds%%c", i + 2*j*(N - i - 1));
sprintf(out, s, '*');
}
puts(out);
}
return 0;
}

Are you deliberately going for a verbose and roundabout way of doing it? I've seen far better C from /prog/ before...

do cr dup i - spaces i 2* 1+ stars

If you're going to break something, break it right¹. If you want back-compat, do it right.

I was waiting over 10 Christmas for this.

You didn't have to wait. Perl 5 got most of what was in the Perl 6 spec in 2005 backported via libs years ago.

Perl 6 was still doing naive shit in 2009. But experience informed design and it's a much more solid language now.

Like what, for example? Serious question.

Here's my go at the pyramid. No idea why people complicated this so much.

``
#include <stdio.h>

#define HEIGHT 5

int
main(void)
{
int i, j;

for (i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++) {
for (j = HEIGHT - i; j; j--) {
fputc(' ', stdout);
}
for (j = 0; j < 2 * i + 1; j++) {
fputc('*', stdout);
}
fputc('\n', stdout);
}

return (fclose(stdout) < 0);
