Given two sorted lists of same length \$\{a_i\}\$ and \$\{b_i\}\$, find the smallest \$w\$ such that it's possible to connect each pair of points \$(0,a_i)\$ and \$(w,b_i)\$ with paths such that x-...

a XAND b a AND b, but not at the same time. I've always found the idea of an XAND gate amusing. Many would claim such a gate can not exist, but I suspect they're just not trying hard enough. ...

Task Given an unsorted list of integers, order it in such a way that the absolute difference of every two adjacent elements will always be equal to 1: \$|dx| = 1\$ There will be guaranteed one or more ...

The most common way to represent a polynomial is writing it as a linear combination of monomials, i.e., powers of the variable. For example, the polynomial \$p(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + x + 1\$ is a linear ...

So... uh... this is a bit embarrassing. But we don't have a plain "Hello, World!" challenge yet (despite having 35 variants tagged with hello-world, and counting). While this is not the most ...

Objective Given a prime number \$p\$ and an integer \$n \geq 2\$, find a degree-\$n\$ primitive polynomial modulo \$p\$. Mathematical explanation When we perform "modular arithmetic" over ...

You have to code in python, and the number generated by your code must be bigger than all other current submissions. You need to make your code as small as possible, it has to terminate but you can ...

Let us define the operation of rebasing a number as writing out its digits in decimal form, then interpreting them in the smallest base N possible (...

I was looking for a simple sequence that's not yet referenced on the OEIS and came up with this one(*): \$a_1=2\$ \$a_2=3\$ For \$n>2\$, \$a_n\$ is the smallest number of the form \$a_i\times a_j+...

Given X>0, return the smallest Y>=0 such that X+Y is a palindrome. Code golf. Tests: 5 => 0 14 => 8 200 => 2 819 => 9 1100 => 11 1122 => 99

Introduction: When saying numbers out loud, the order is slightly different in Dutch than in English. For a number like \$1234\$: in English you'd say: one thousand, two hundred and thirty-four in ...

This is a sequel to Numbers Interpreted in Smallest Valid Base. Let us define the operation of rebasing a number as writing out its digits in decimal form, then interpreting them in the smallest base <...

Each quarterback in the NFL is given a passer rating at the end of the game, which measures how good their forward passes were. It is not strictly a basic arithmetic formula, and is calculated as ...

I'm a Chinese so I use AI to translate this question to English,if there was any grammar mistake,please tell me and I'll fix it. You need to write a piece of code that, for the specified language, ...
