Mar 17, 2014 at 16:31 comment added Jonathan Van Matre It would have been wise to make the example ASCII chip have ground and voltage supply pins, and display them differently. As far as I can tell, none of the other implementations draws them differently from the standard pins.
Mar 17, 2014 at 14:56 comment added Kaya All fine and dandy barring that it doesn't address the awkward edge case when n<=4.
Mar 17, 2014 at 14:13 comment added Peter Taylor @Kaya, it looks to me like it only has 12 pins, because the question clearly states that the pins are on the sides, so the + characters at the corners shouldn't count.
Mar 17, 2014 at 4:14 comment added Kaya Why does your example ASCII chip for n=20 pins have 16 pins? If we are supposed to draw a chip with n-4 pins instead of n then what do we draw in the case where n<=4?

Mar 16, 2014 at 17:28 comment added Peter Taylor @TheDoctor, if you're bored by seeing downvoted questions, you could visit the sandbox and try to implement one of the better looking ones there. That way you'll see whether the spec is missing corner cases, and you can help to improve it before it gets posted on the main site.
Mar 16, 2014 at 17:25 comment added Peter Taylor @JonathanVanMatre, I'm not sure whether to feel insulted. I'm also not sure whether to vote to close this as little more than a duplicate of Find next multiple of 32.

Mar 16, 2014 at 15:20 comment added TheDoctor @JonathanVanMatre I just have seen too many downvoted/closed questions recently. I was getting a little bored.
Mar 16, 2014 at 15:12 comment added Jonathan Van Matre One does have to grin at the sheer bravado of posting a question in a rush and then making bold claims that 'no one has posted a "good quality question" recently'. :D
Mar 16, 2014 at 14:41 comment added TheDoctor @kaya 4,1,1,0
Mar 16, 2014 at 14:40 comment added TheDoctor Everyone - I was rushed.

Mar 16, 2014 at 9:13 comment added Dr. belisarius @PeterTaylor Yep, I know. But "draw a chip" is a little vague.

Mar 16, 2014 at 6:30 comment added Dr. belisarius mmm ...chip is an ASCII chip
Mar 16, 2014 at 5:44 comment added Kaya @TheDoctor you misunderstand my query. Let me rephrase: upon input 3 should the program output 4,1,1,0 or 4,1,0,1?

Mar 16, 2014 at 2:00 comment added grovesNL You may want to add clarification for a point that confused me at first: the pins are at the perimeter of the square, not throughout the square area.

Mar 16, 2014 at 1:56 comment added TheDoctor @Kaya no, you have to add enough to make it divisible by 4

Mar 16, 2014 at 1:25 comment added Kaya By odd one out do you mean that if we need to add an odd number of pins that #ground = #voltagesupply + 1 or vice-versa?
