Do nothing It's wrong but well intentioned. The best we can do is leave a comment saying why its wrong.
Lock it Locking a post disallows edits, comments and votes. I am not sure if it allows the original poster to edit or not, but this would be one way to preserve the answer while preventing interac...
Recently a flag came to my attention on this post: https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/280372/281943#answer-281943 It is a well-intentioned answer to the challenge, but unfortunately it is wrong, ...
What you said a function is a valid solution to a challenge if and only if it can be called with no more than the specified input of the task This sounds reasonable to me. If you want to make...
Japt, 1 byte ½ Test it Jelly, Vyxal, 1 byte . Try it online! Yeah, golf langs still kind of kill this challenge.
Japt, 26 25 bytes ;Bg4mUqL În10,2 ùT8 qT Îl Try it Long and unwieldy, I'm rusty. Looks at the first 0 in the bitstring of the first octet.
Make a new post If they are completely different solutions, I would say they should be judged separately.
Use higher versions of Java Seriously, it's crazy what sort of features have been added since Java 8. I hardly recognize the language anymore... Examples: Constructing Lists Before, you had to ...
New reactions are up "Works for me" is gone, "Outdated" is now invalid, and "Dangerous" has stayed the same.
Interesting! / Cool! / Wow! Any of these names would work, I think. This would be the dark green reaction in place of "works for me". Intended to be used for answers that are extra unique/impressi...
Reactions were just released! See the main meta post here for the details. Currently, the default reactions look like this: Now, I would argue that none of these fit for Code Golf - so what rea...
Japt -Q, 15 12 bytes à üÊËx_×*JpE -3 bytes thanks to @Shaggy Uses Vieta's. Try it
You may modify the input in-place If a function takes an input a, it is acceptable that a contains the intended output after executing instead of other forms of output. Note that this means a must...
Python 3, 29 bytes import numpy numpy.linalg.det Yeah, this is really boring, but I'm curious if this can be beat in Python. Try it online!
Canvas, 9 7 bytes #＊⌐⤢ｎ↔ｎ -2 bytes thanks to @Razetime Uh I don't really know how to use Canvas - what I think this does is create the vertical wall, then half the horizontal one, then concatn...
It's the opposite of code golf. Code bowling is essentially a challenge where you try to write the longest code possible, as opposed to the shortest code. Now, this format comes with many issues, ...
Canvas, cracked by Shaggy, 129 bytes /bin/bash > echo "Cops and Robbers"; #Testing, testing 1 2 3 Segmentation Fault > echp "Cops and Robbers"; #Huh? Cops and Robbers This version of ...
The "Uppers" def oneup(data, history): if len(history) > 0: prev = history[-1] if prev[2] > 1: better = [prev[0] + 1, prev[1] + 1, prev[2] - 2] elif prev[1] > 1: better...
The Rules In this game, each round, every player faces off against every other player in a round robin format. In each match, players pick 3 positive integers that sum to 360. Let's say player 1 p...
Every outcome must be possible For example, if the challenge requires a random number from 1-5, all 5 numbers must be possible. It does not need to be uniformly random (unless otherwise specified)...
What is random defined as on this site? How are answers allowed to handle random chance?
IF flags take arguments, those arguments count for the code length For example, in Japt, -F"string" is a flag that prints "string" if the output is falsy - in my opinion this should add 6 bytes on...
Update: the meta tag is live, so we can start the posts. I have created a few here with a few sample answers, but the rest is up to the community! Make sure to vote on other answers as well as post...
Cat Quines Quines that simply output the source code due to some sort of implicit I/O, such as 1 in many languages.
