Comment Post #283076 I suspect this works in most golfing languages because so many have implicit input and automatically close strings and other structures 8=}.

Comment Post #283035 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.

There's no need for a single code-golf-tips tag when there's two separate tags for it.

Comment Post #283175 @#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?)

Comment Post #283176 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.

Question Should [code-golf-tips] be replaced with [tips] + [code-golf]?
Instead of the code-golf-tips tag, could we tag "Tips for golfing" questions with tips and code-golf instead? They can still be searched for, so I don't see a reason to make a special tag to represent two distinct tags.

Article Reduce over the range [1..n] [FINALIZED]
Task I often need to find the factorial of a number or the sum of all numbers up to a number when cheating on math tests. To help me with this, your task is to write $F$, a generalized version of those functions: $$F(n) = 1 2 \space ... \space (n-1) n$$ Please note that the operator $ $...

Comment Post #283166 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.

Article Obligatory factorial challenge
It looks like we don't have a simple factorial challenge yet, so here's one. Task Given a non-negative number, output the factorial of that number ($n!$). The factorial of a number can be defined as such: $$f(0)=1$$ $$f(n)=n \times f(n-1)$$ Test cases ``` Input! = Output 0! = 1 1! ...

Answer A: Answering challenges with languages newer than the challenge
Answering with languages newer than the challenge should absolutely be allowed Most of the time, when a language is newer than a challenge, it's just a coincidence. By not allowing people to answer using them, we're discouraging people from creating and using esolangs. That would be far more detri...
