3D compass point from 3D coordinates Given 3 dimensional (3D) Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z), output the 3D compass point that comes nearest to describing the direction from the origin. Definitions Directions In reality, the direction of North changes as you move across the surface of the globe. This challenge is based in a simpli... (more) |

@#56533 if it affects your perspective, some languages allow passing an anonymous function as a function argument, or returning an anonymous function as a return value. This allows another part of the program to call the anonymous function without ever having to name it.
This is common with lambda... (more) |

55 fruit salad: choose your own Kolmogorov complexity [FINALIZED] Now posted: 55 fruit salad: choose your own Kolmogorov complexity This is a fixed output challenge. It is similar to a standard Kolmogorov complexity challenge, except you get to choose your own fixed output. Given no input, output 55 fruits. You may choose any 55 distinct fruits from the foll...

I've just realised that the new clearer output specification, and example, invalidate the [existing answer](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/286989/286993#answer-286993) (it gives the output shown in my previous comment, which you have now explained is not valid). Just mentioning in case this affe... (more) |

This has been mentioned previously on Meta in [Rules for function submissions](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/286366/286367#answer-286367) if either of you want to vote/comment/answer in that discussion.
Current voting seems to suggest that anonymous functions are acceptable. (more) |

I'm not sure how to interpret this. If a fixed size input argument (such as a 32 bit integer) is modified, there is no need for memory allocation as it already exists. If ... (more) |

> Some languages separate subroutines (do not return a value) from functions (returns a value)
In such a language I would see a subroutine that modifies an input argument as a valid submission, unless the challenge explicitly requires a function. I agree that a challenge that requires a function r... (more) |

> Not all languages support pass by reference
I don't see this as a reason to prevent its use by languages that do support it. There are many ways that languages differ and restricting the particular advantages that each language has seems to remove the benefit of allowing submissions in different... (more) |

I don't know which way to vote on this one.
> Therefore, interpreting a challenge asking for a return value as "return through parameter" is creating a local code golf dialect of the language
I see this Meta discussion as establishing defaults. Any challenge is free to override the defaults and... (more) |

Chequer checker A chequer board (also spelt "checker board" in some places) is an 8 by 8 grid of squares alternating between 2 colours. Check whether a provided pattern could be a region of a chequer board. The colours in the pattern will be represented by letters of the alphabet. The squares of a chequer boar... (more) |

If we do decide to go ahead with deleting finalized and cancelled Sandbox posts, ideally I'd prefer this to be with a warning comment so the challenge creator can voice any objection or copy any info not present in the main post in the Challenges section. It could just be a quick copy pasted note lik... (more) |

| Comment | Post #287040 |
That sounds sensible. I guess the limits will determine to what extent languages without arbitrary sized numbers can avoid having to do everything manually with strings.
I'm tempted to make the limits on all 3 (input length, numerator size, denominator size) quite small to avoid having to deal wit... (more) |
