Comment Post #284088 Is it intentional that the standalone number is in words, but the numbers in expressions are in digits (except for the “negative” prefix)?

Article Decode periodic decimal fractions [FINALIZED]
Rational numbers in decimal representation can have an infinite periodic part. One common way to write this down is to repeat the periodic digits and then add three dots. Numbers without those three dots are taken to be non-periodic (or equivalently, have a periodic `0` after the given digits). Your ...

Question Repeat the characters
Given a string and a non-negative integer $n$, output a new string in which each character is repeated $n$ times. Test cases: ``` "abc", 1 -> "abc" "Hello", 0 -> "" "double", 2 -> "ddoouubbllee" "Hi", 4 -> "HHHHiiii" "", 20 -> "" ```

Answer A: Tips for golfing in Python
Replace print loops by list unpacking If you want to print elements of a list one per line, the straightforward way to do it is a loop: ``` for i in l:print(i) ``` But this can be shortened using list unpacking: ``` print(l,sep="\n") ``` Note that despite the extra `sep` this is still one ...

Comment Post #284028 Good one. You could also mention that this also applies for different operators, for example `a<b>c` is valid and equivalent to `a<b and b>c`.

Comment Post #283865 Well, actually that is a case I didn't consider. On one hand, the wording is obviously misleading because that's not what it was referring to, on the other hand I think “one million and one” is the reasonable result here. I'll have to think about how to adapt the rules/reference implementation accord...

Answer A: Tips for golfing in Python
If you print some string `s` without a newline character at the end, instead of ``` print(s,end="") ``` write ``` print(end=s) ``` to save two bytes. Note that this only works for strings, not for other types. Note also that if you print more than one string, then the `end=` part will a...

Answer A: Tips for golfing in Python
If you have a loop or `if`, you can save two or more characters (depending on the current indentation level and the number of statements in the body) by putting it right after the colon: For example, assume you have this loop with 33 characters: ``` for x in a: dosomethingwith(x) ``` Since y...

Comment Post #283978 BTW, I just found you can reduce by two further bytes by using `enumerate` in the loop. While the `enumerate` expression itself is a bit longer, that is more than made up by replacing `x[i]` with `c` in the loop. And no semicolon this time ;-) [Try it online!](https://tio.run/##JcnBCoMwDADQe7@ieEq...
