Answer A: Is my extension-like library allowed to be used in answers?
If you actually use the library, sure, I guess. How you are going to get it running on online compilers, I have no idea. It's very uninteresting for others to view some code using a custom library though... you'd be golfing "single player". Your answer here doesn't use the library and is against t...

Answer A: Evens or Odds - you know this one
[C (gcc)], 20 bytes f(a){puts("!"+a%2);} Try it online! Function solution. Prints `!` in case of even numbers, otherwise just new line.

Comment Post #282345 Curious to see how this turns out. Wasn't sure if I should restrict it to 15 or go with 100. The snippets would turn rather long in that case. Is this challenge sensible in a lot of different languages? The language won't need a line number counting feature, though it probably helps.

Article FizzBuzz based on line count
Background The normal "FizzBuzz" task is to create an up-counting loop which prints "Fizz" in case the count is divisible by 3 or "Buzz" in case the count is divisible by 5. Consequently, "FizzBuzz" for numbers like 15 that are divisible by both. Task The task is to write a solution which pr...

Comment Post #281542 You need to specify if these strings are taken as program input or if they can be constants. For example in C, you can merge two string literals by just typing `"ABC" "DEF"`. But to merge strings taken as input in run-time, it turns much more intricate.

And we still need a way to formalize moving things from sandbox to live challenge... guess I should mark it as "finalized" like some people do. As for the link, Roman numbers should be common knowledge really....

Answer A: Microcontroller-involving challenges and the rules.
For this to work, I think we need to rule out all start-up code (the C runtime) but also the register maps. So I think answers should be a `void main (void){ ... }` (or equivalent) function solution where the register map is included but not counting as part of the solution. Other than that, ban all ...

Article Print the alphabet using alphabetic source
The task is to write a program that takes no input and prints the English alphabet in upper-case letters. It can be printed either as a single line `ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`, or as letters separated by spaces, or as letters separated by new line. This is code golf, so the shortest program in e...

Comment Post #280343 "We can't currently vary properties of post types per category" This is strange though. The various metas shouldn't give rep IMO and that's a much bigger issue than the sandbox category on some sites.

Comment Post #280242 I think test cases (such as examples of input/output) should not only be encouraged but mandatory. An example snippet of a non-golfed version in some common programming language is encouraged, as discussed [here](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/279635).

Comment Post #279883 @Razetime‭ That's kind of the core of this whole silly joke :) Tannenbaum = Christmas tree in German, though it could as well have been the name of some less famous computer scientist :) O Tannenbaum refers to a famous Christmas carol, etc.
