| Mar 29, 2012 at 1:14 | comment | added | r.e.s. | I'm basing the preceding comment on the Whitespace tutorial, and I'm using this WS interpreter in Ruby. Following is the 153-char revised version of Anthony's program (using the same previous S-T-L notation), which outputs the string "Whitespace" when executed with that interpreter: SSSTSTSTTTLTLSSSSSTTSTSSSLTLSSSSSTTSTSSTLTLSSSSSTTTSTSSLTLSSSSSTTSSTSTLTLSSSSSTTTSSTTLTLSSSSSTTTSSSSLTLSSSSSTTSSSSTLTLSSSSSTTSSSTTLTLSSSSSTTSSTSTLTLSSLLL | |
| Mar 29, 2012 at 0:56 | comment | added | r.e.s. | If I'm not mistaken, your program has two fatal errors: (1) Letting S,T,L denote Space,Tab,Linefeed repsectively, the first instruction is at present SSTSTSTTTL, but should be SSSTSTSTTTL (3 S's on the left) -- the 3rd S is needed to indicate the positive sign of the binary number following it (i.e. the ascii code for 'W' = 85 = 1010111 in binary, coded as the L-terminated string TSTSTTTL), and so on for the other ascii codes. (2) The prog's final TLLL should be TLSSLLL, where the TLSS is needed to output the final character from the stack, and LLL marks the end-of-program. | |
