Comment Post #288848 I apologise. I just realised this comment thread is not on my [other dice draft](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/288805), which has 100 test cases to 29 decimal places, so my previous response made no sense. Once I have calculated the test cases for this draft, I will apply the same approach t...

Comment Post #288848 Thanks for the feedback. Good point. I just copied and pasted what I'd worked out (which was 30 significant figures, which happens to be 29 decimal places in this case). I'd worked it out with arbitrary precision to make sure I wasn't introducing errors into the test cases, but now that I've only ...

Now posted: Probability of rolling all 6 dice faces The probability of rolling every number from 1 to 6 with $N$ six-sided dice. Input - A positive integer $N$. - Your code must work for inputs up to and including 10, but may crash, error, or give incorrect output for larger inputs. Ou...

Explicitly allow incorrect algorithms

Comment Post #288805 I think this is inclusive of languages that use 32 bit floating point numbers. If you have an example of a language for which this is not achievable please let me know.

Comment Post #288805 The numbers used during calculation get big quickly (at least with the approach I used) so I have set the maximum required input quite low. Is this too low? My main concern is that hardcoding the first 10 outputs may be golfier than calculating them.

Comment Post #288731 As we have 4 categories with various purposes, is it worth discussing this with all 4 of them in mind? I understand any of them can have their rep per upvote and rep per downvote changed independently and any one of them could be set to have rep changes only for upvotes or only for downvotes?

Explicitly allow separate sequences for X coordinates and Y coordinates
10 months ago
Comment Post #288502 One pedantic point: I've used the word "sequence" rather than "set", to avoid potential confusion with the mathematical meaning of "set", which includes being unordered (which would make the input impossible to interpret).

Comment Post #288502 Interesting thought. I can't see any way that this would count as precalculation - the X and Y coordinates are ordered whether they are received as pairs or as separate sequences of X and Y. I'll edit the question shortly to explicitly allow this.

Comment Post #288548 Might be better to keep the scores as they are for now and prioritise fixing the leaderboard, rather than build up a backlog of answers that will need to be edited later.

Comment Post #288622 I'm having difficulty understanding when comparing the examples with the task description. With my challenges I usually put them into the Sandbox first, to get feedback on anything that can be clarified before posting here. It has often helped me catch problems early. Here's where I'm struggling t...

Comment Post #288548 I think I see. The main body of your answer is to say "It doesn't matter", and the final section is to say "the official score should be the ceiling of the fractional byte count". This does not appear to be what the leaderboard currently does. See the [example answer linked from this Meta questio...

Comment Post #288548 Have I understand correctly that your only objection to fractional scores being official is the lack of leaderboard support? If so, bear in mind that the leaderboard (like the rest of Codidact) is open source. If the community supports the idea of fractional scores, anyone can update the code to r...

Comment Post #288526 I love the approach of a single pattern that can just be offset depending on dimensions. There seems to be a misalignment for height 3 and width 4N+2. It works fine for height 3 and width 2, but for width 6, 10, 14, ... it breaks. It looks like the pattern will still work fine for those widths, b...
