| Jun 5, 2018 at 2:24 | comment | added | Jakob | @BMO In my opinion it's by far the most natural to say the string is the "raw" contents of standard in. Taking source code as input doesn't make much sense for this challenge. | |

| May 28, 2018 at 16:41 | comment | added | ElPedro | @BMO - I have assumed that the quotes count and also that they can be in the string. If not then I half my byte count from 2 to 1 :-) It should really be clarified. | |

| May 28, 2018 at 15:19 | comment | added | ბიმო | It's not entirely clear how inputs should be taken, ie. given "" on stdin is it an empty string, two characters or is it up to the language (in that case would " be valid input)? | |
| May 28, 2018 at 15:14 | comment | added | Jeff Zeitlin | This is likely more-or-less trivial in essentially any language that can be used for the challenge (i.e., supports stdin), unless you specifically disallow the use of 'length' or 'shape' intrinsics. | |

| May 28, 2018 at 13:30 | comment | added | Kevin Cruijssen | @Adám I guess they can't compete in this challenge. A lot of challenges aren't accessible to some languages due to their restrictions. | |
| May 28, 2018 at 13:26 | comment | added | Adám | What about languages that cannot use STDIN? | |

| May 28, 2018 at 13:22 | comment | added | Luis Mendo | When the main difficulty is the input format or means, rather than the actual computations, it is usually a sign of a not very interesting challenge | |

| May 28, 2018 at 13:18 | comment | added | user202729 | Obviously most people don't like too easy challenges, but it's valid. (although we already have "add two numbers" and "is that number a prime") | |
| May 28, 2018 at 13:17 | comment | added | univalence | @LuisMendo sorry for all that chaos | |
| May 28, 2018 at 13:17 | history | edited | univalence | CC BY-SA 4.0 | added 8 characters in body |
| May 28, 2018 at 13:16 | comment | added | Luis Mendo | In that case, you should probably restrict to printable ASCII. "Most ASCII chars counts" is ambiguous | |

| May 28, 2018 at 13:14 | comment | added | univalence | ^Z is meant like a backspace char, this rule doesn't seem to be good, because it is impossible on many languages (strange STDIN limitations) | |
| May 28, 2018 at 13:12 | comment | added | Luis Mendo | Does "you^Z^Z^Z" mean that actual 9-byte printable-ASCII string, or does ^Z mean some control character and the string has length 6? | |

| May 28, 2018 at 13:07 | comment | added | The random guy | every ASCII char counts! Even control characters. Can you provide an example of what you mean ? | |
