What counts as a multiplication/exponentiation builtin is quite poorly defined, and although many languages might get by without them just fine here, they might not for other sorts of challenges/other builtins. I'd advise against banning them. One alternative is to create your own mini language for t... (more) |

Since there's no trivial builtins answer yet, I edited my Husk one into one. Any idea on how to CW it? Or perhaps it could be edited into the question itself? (more) |

@#53310 But they're not distinct values otherwise, they're either 0 or some arbitrary positive integer. Is that alright? (more) |

I don't understand what's confusing you about them, but perhaps [this worksheet](https://scastie.scala-lang.org/4rnXDcJVTF27sQ3aVb1eDQ) will help. (more) |

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Blackbox functions have been used a lot Somewhere Else without any problems (afaik). I'll remove that part if you like, though. (more) |

I see. Does Corsaka's answer count as a consensus? It's got 5 upvotes and no downvotes, and there aren't any answers that advocate *for* giving rep. (more) |

Thanks for clarifying that in the draft, but I don't like the error handling part. It doesn't add anything to the challenge and is just cumbersome. Much better to simply say that everything that's currently in the error handling section is just undefined behavior. (more) |

This is a bit embarrassing, but I can't tell if sandboxed posts still give rep, since I don't get a notification for reputation here like I would Somewhere Else. However, I'm about 70% sure I got rep off of a draft in the Sandbox, so if they do still give rep, could that be turned off any time soon? (more) |

What do `^^^` (`^ 3`) and `//` (`/ 2`) return? As far as I know, they aren't used as unary operators in math. Is this simply undefined behavior? (more) |

I suspect this works in most golfing languages because so many have implicit input and automatically close strings and other structures 8=}. (more) |

Right, but it's your answer, so there was never any competition between us: it's not as if you could've beaten me to cracking your own answer. (more) |

@#54114 I've clarified what a blackbox function is, let me know if there's anything else I need to add. (btw, how did you write [blackbox-function] like that?) (more) |

@#53588 Yes, anything reasonable is allowed. The challenge explicitly allows "A string that can be evaluated to get a function," actually. (more) |

Of course, this question is about replacing [tag:code-golf-tips] entirely. If all [tag:code-golf-tips] questions are retagged, then it should go away. (more) |

That's true. I was going to go with the (n×"super") factorial question on SE that got closed, but I don't know if the author will let me repost that yet. I'll think up something to change it up a little. (more) |

Actually, it's `(w-11)>>1`, or `(w-11)/2`, but that can still be `w/2-5`, I guess. (more) |

This is already banned, I think, since any macros, functions, or variables you use have to be included in the byte count if they're not available otherwise. (more) |

Well, robbers deserve to have upvotes on their answers for their effort IMO. There's a lot less motivation to crack a cop otherwise. (more) |

I'm not sure this needs to be said; it's a pretty obvious rule, but it might be good to have it written explicitly. (more) |

This is a good idea, but you may want to restrict it to delimiters that won't be part of the output, or you might get `1.2.3.4` while outputting a list of decimals after using `.` as the separator. (more) |

@#53196 I would personally prefer byte count, but why not post another meta question and let people vote on it? Also, thank you so much for the leaderboards! It's wonderful to have them integrated into Codidact. (more) |

It may help to give a short explanation of how negabinary works (convert 110 to 4 + -2 + 0 = 2 or something like that). If that's given, I'm not sure the example code, which may not be helpful for some people anyway, is needed. (more) |

I agree with Quintec. The input format is just plain cumbersome and adds nothing to the challenge. A lot of submissions are probably going to have to spend ~30% of their bytes on just parsing that. I'm not downvoting this challenge, but I'm not going to upvote it either. (more) |

It's possible this happens because of [this line](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/blob/develop/public/assets/community/codegolf.js#L233), where it keeps the leaderboard from before if it's already loaded. Perhaps sorting the leaderboard in `getLeaderboard` itself might fix it. (more) |
