Thoughts on hiding challenge sections with expandable details tags I've recently started experimenting with hiding some of the sections in a challenge, using an expandable `` tag. This seems to have some advantages, but I'm interested to hear how people find this - any good and bad points and general advice on how and where to use this. I'm asking this in the con... (more) |

| Comment | Post #287173 |
Looking at the input section I now realise I left it implicit that the input could be a string (since I used Y and Z as digits but didn't explicitly say string). I'll edit to make clear that a string of digits or the usual alternatives (any ordered data structure of characters) is fine as an alternat... (more) |

The 3 rotation types will be given the challenge-specific names clock, mirror, ... (more) |

I appreciate that making the code changes to allow cross-category duplicates may not happen in the short term, but this does seem like the ideal solution long term.
Even without the ability to close as a duplicate (so the sandbox post does not automatically link to the finished challenge), it woul... (more) |

Arbitrary angle wrapping wordsearch Sandbox - Would you change anything about the test case format? - Are there any more edge cases to add to the test cases? - Should words that use the same grid position more than once be considered present?

Looks like you've already solved this for yourself though since you've posted 2 answers that both work correctly for all these cases... I'll leave the explanation up in case anyone else bumps into the same confusion I did. (more) |

I had this same thought myself after producing the test cases, but I found it was because I was looking at binary strings without leading zeroes, which makes it easy to look at the digit one from the left, instead of five from the right. This causes a problem because the character codes less than 64 ... (more) |

Lowercase, but not just the letters Given a string of printable ASCII characters, convert them all to lowercase, except not just the letters. ASCII characters that are letters have a bit in their binary representation that is `0` for uppercase, and `1` for lower[]()case. Setting this bit to `1` for a non-letter character that previo...

| Question | — |
Mediocre pop count Given a sequence of letters, omit those with the highest or lowest pop count. Terminology The pop count or [population count] of a binary string is the number of `1`s in it. For this challenge, the pop count of a letter is the number of `1`s in its ASCII character code in binary. For exampl... (more) |

Unless there's a default on Meta to allow `null` as a substitute for an empty string / empty data structure I'm going to say no.
I want the input and output formats to be as flexible as possible to keep the competition open to as many languages as possible (and so people can explore alternative ap... (more) |
