Day 2: Red-Nosed Reports
Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://blocks.programming.dev if you prefer sending it through a URL

Uiua
Uiua is still developing very quickly, and this code uses the experimental
tuples
function, hence the initial directive.Try it Live!
# Experimental! "7 6 4 2 1\n1 2 7 8 9\n9 7 6 2 1\n1 3 2 4 5\n8 6 4 4 1\n1 3 6 7 9" ⊜(⊜⋕⊸≠@\s)⊸≠@\n # Partition at \n, then at space, parse ints. IsSorted ← +⊃(≍⇌⍆.|≍⍆.) # Compare with sorted array. IsSmall ← /××⊃(>0|<4)⌵↘¯1-↻1. # Copy offset by 1, check diffs. IsSafe ← ×⊃IsSmall IsSorted # Safe if Small steps and Ordered. IsSafer ← ±/+≡IsSafe ⧅<-1⧻. # Choose 4 from 5, check again. &p/+≡IsSafe . # Part1 : Is each row safe? &p/+≡(±+⊃IsSafe IsSafer) # Part2 : Is it safe or safer?
How do you write this, not conceptually but physically. Do you have a char picker open at all times?
Haha, you can do it that way, in fact the online Uiua Pad editor has all the operators listed along the top.
But all the operators have ascii names, so you can type e.g.
IsSmall = reduce mul mul fork(>0|<4) abs drop neg 1 - rot 1 dup
and the formatter will reduce that toIsSmall ← /××⊃(>0|<4)⌵↘¯1-↻1.
whenever you save or execute code.That works in the Pad, and you can enable similar functionality in other editors.
i can only imagine doing it with a drawing tablet
I like to assume people using array programming languages just have a crystal ball that they use to call upon magic runes on the screen
