Question 1

There's consensus that answering with fractions is allowable for decimals that can be expressed as fractions. But what about irrational numbers? Can they be expressed as a rational representation of ...

Question 2

There exist some questions that it's easier to output an array longer than intended to output, and it costs to slice. Longer array behave like small ones as long as you don't access its length or out-...

Question 3

I'm golfing in Lua, which does support such thing as multiple return values like this: ...

Question 4

In certain languages (i.e. C), writes to streams like stdout can be buffered by default - what this means is that when one calls functions like ...

Question 5

This answer gives the reciprocal of the required output, rather than the required output itself. In a simpler challenge this might cut out a significant part of the work, but for this particular ...

Question 6

According to this consensus in the default allowed inputs thread, functions may output by writing to an out argument. When outputting an array in languages like C/C++, where arrays are pointers to ...

Question 7

So with the recent maze challenge I had the idea to implement a solution using CBMC (home / source), which is a tool that statically verifies C code and can produce counter-examples for property ...

Question 8

Let's consider a QBasic solution to FizzBuzz. The code works correctly, printing the required output from 1 all the way up. The problem is, since there's a lot of ...

Question 9

I couldn't find any consensus on this on meta for a while, and this seems to be particularly helpful when answering decision-problem challenges. Should swapping truthy and falsy be allowed by default, ...

Question 10

A few challenges that requires the program to output something at a specified length, and a bunch of answers well... uses built-in error messages that's generated by the interpreter rather than the ...

Question 11

A reversible language is a programming language where no operation is capable of destroying information. That means that with the output and a program you can always determine the input provided. ...

Question 12

Should code-golf submissions written in JS that return a promise be allowed? For example: Promise.resolve("hi") Doesn't output ...

Question 13

I am currently designing a language that cannot halt unless it all of its memory is cleared, this means for any practical application it has no output whatsoever. However when the program does halt ...

Question 15

If a program outputs some string. And then deletes part of the string with the backspace character (in java "\b"). And procedes to print the rest to spec. Would this be considered a violation?
