| May 28, 2017 at 12:15 | comment | added | Martin Ender | @SteveBennett sometimes you only care about the string length and not the actual character, and many PPCG challenges allow you to use some ASCII character of your choice for output. | |
| May 28, 2017 at 12:07 | comment | added | Steve Bennett | Cool - how often do you need a string of commas? | |
| May 28, 2017 at 11:51 | comment | added | Martin Ender | For the special case of commas you can do Array(12)+'', which is shorter than the literal starting at 11 commas and then remains shorter than repeat. | |
| May 28, 2017 at 11:46 | comment | added | ASCII-only | Don't think so but depending on the challenge you may be able to golf multiple runs to save bytes using e.g. RLE | |
