I don't know how to test this (in the linked web site, I don't see an execute button, nor a place to put the arguments), but from the description, I doubt that it gets the rounding right. Does 2/3 really give the output from Example 2, not one bar less? (more) |

I think it is too restricting: You might not use a built-in rounding (and there might not be any defined to begin with; for example, C always truncates on converting to int; esoteric programming languages may not even have floating point to begin with). I think the challenge should just allow for any... (more) |

A: Advice for hosting a language agnostic King of the Hill contest Contestants should read from standard input and write to standard output. This is because almost all programming languages, including most esoteric programming languages, allow reading from standard input and writing to standard output. Especially for esoteric programming languages, this is commonly ... (more) |

Main disadvantage would be that it restricts to languages that tio.run supports. Which certainly is a lot of them, but not all of them. What if you want to add a Scratch entry? (more) |

Product of polynomials modulo 2 in integer representation Your task is to implements the product of polynomials modulo 2 $(\mathbb F2[x]$) in integer representation. Background The field $\mathbb F2$ represents the integers modulo 2, or equivalently, the lowest bit of the binary representation of an integer; it only has the values $0$ and $1$. What I ... (more) |

A: Multiplicative perfection [C (gcc)], 53 bytes This uses the shortcut behaviour of logical or (`||`) to only multiply if it is a divisor; the loop end condition then makes sure it's a proper divisor. i=1;p=1;f(n){for(;i<n;++i)(n%i)||(p=i);return p==n;} Try it online! (more) |

A: How many odd digits? [C (gcc)], 37 bytes This takes an integer as input. It uses the fact that the last digit is odd if and only if the number is odd, and that integer division by 10 removes the last digit. Testing if the number is odd is by doing bitwise and with 1, which conveniently gives 1 for odd and 0 for eve... (more) |

I think you also want to exclude comments, otherwise the simplest solution is to have a single comment containing the full alphabet. That is, the shortest Python solution would be:

Many esoteric languages are obviously excluded. The most obvious example is Peat, which doesn't even characters in the first place, or Whitespace, where all programs consist of, well, whitespace. But also languages with single-letter commands are usually excluded because they typically don't cover th... (more) |

It is customary here that if you improve the code, you show the previous byte count in strike-through before the new byte count. See e.g. [Shaggy's JavaScript answer](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/287035/287045#answer-287045) for an example. Note that the leaderboard correctly identifies the va... (more) |

Indeed, it can be seen from the description of the code: The result with ordinary conversion is zero if and only if all digits are zero. In that case, the second operand of or applies, which is just the length. Very clever.

I think it would make sense to set a limit on the inputs the program needs to handle. For example, a limit on the maximal length of the input, or on the maximal produced numerator and denominator. (more) |

My take on the sandbox questions:
* I think empty input should be allowed, with truthy value.
* I think allowing other forms of input is a good idea. In particular, I would allow lists/arrays of strings, and 2D arrays of characters.
* An upper limit in the size the program needs to han... (more) |

You didn't specify what should happen if there are more than two letters in the input, e.g.
```
aabbcc
aabbcc
```
I guess the intention is that this would be a falsy result, but you didn't specify.

But the task asks for integers ($\mathbb Z$), not natural numbers ($\mathbb N$). Thus the code should give $(-2)+(-2)=-4$ while yours gives $(-2)+(-2)=5$. (more) |
