    \$\begingroup\$ @Dennis I cannot see deleted answers, so I would say nobody has to worry about them. Count them if you want to. I won't count them since I cannot see them. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 15, 2016 at 15:32

    \$\begingroup\$ @FilipHaglund, I think that it would make most sense to have the URL byte count in the code be subtracted from the total count or have it be taken as input because that sort of makes it impossible for languages that don't run in the browser to have a chance at winning \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 15, 2016 at 23:09

    \$\begingroup\$ That (although in some languages taking input could require even more bytes) or only allow to subtract if the URL http://... appears verbatim in the source code. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 16, 2016 at 3:05

    \$\begingroup\$ @Mayken when the code is executed, I want to see "9" on the screen. If you use a repl, return values are fine, since it prints them to the screen. Also ints vs strings; both are fine (but please don't output quotation marks). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Oct 16, 2016 at 7:56
