Allis: We hope you enjoy your stay.
jrke: D&B is getting interesting day by day hour by hour and second by second :)
andrew_pahl: when testing a solution to a puzzle against a test case with a series of inputs, is there a way to see which input specifically triggered a failure?
andrew_pahl: I'm seeing that my solution returned "false" when it should've returned "true," but it's not clear which input should've returned "true"
jrke: try debug statement
jrke: which lang ?
andrew_pahl: python
jrke: ok
jrke: so suppose
jrke: a=input()
jrke: ok now you have to see what is input so
jrke: print(a,file=sys.stderr)
jrke: it will print the value of as error stream means it won't affect your normal output
andrew_pahl: When I do this, it prints all the inputs, not just all the inputs up until the one that failed. For example, I'm failing on a test that should return "true," but my last output is "true"
andrew_pahl: meaning that one of the middle inputs produced the failure, but I can't tell which it was
jrke: print everything in error stream and make out where the error is
andrew_pahl: i'll try that, thanks
jrke: no problem :)

Automaton2000: it's a way to know if it's possible to get to top
Putnam3145: hmmmmmmm
Putnam3145: i made my algorithm pick randomly and now it... randomly times out or not
Putnam3145: this suggests there's proper selection criteria
Illedan: jrke -.-
jrke: ??
jrke: what
Illedan: I was enjoying stealing your points :D
jrke: :) i made first today morning currently made one more submission
Illedan: Yeah, the reason for my comment :P
jrke: ;)
AntiSquid: Om1234 no clash invites in World chat. you can go to #clash where other clash enthusiasts spam links
jrke: illedan is your bot minimax?
Illedan: No. 15 IFs
AntiSquid: so random forest
jrke: what is IF?
Illedan: if(a) DoA();
else if(b) DoB();
Illedan: :P
Marchete: what game?
Illedan: Dots and Boxes
jrke: D&B
Marchete: I played that game on school, loong time ago
jrke: i still play that in my school :grin:
Marchete: I think it could be interesting, but I'm not sure how balanced is
Marchete: maybe one side has a big winratwe
Marchete: winrate
Illedan: Yeh
Illedan: P1 wins much more
Marchete: so 2nd with heuristic bot?
Illedan: Yeah
Marchete: :thumbsup:
Illedan: Soon 1st if jrke keeps pushing me up :P
jrke: :(
Marchete: moar submits!
Illedan: Nah
Illedan: Fine now
Illedan: ^^
jrke: congrats illedan
jrke: 1st
Illedan: And I know about 2 bugs :D
Marchete: congrats, you did nothing to deserve 1st :D
Illedan: My 4 hours worth of coding is not nothing :D
Marchete: at least rules seem simple
Marchete: I tried to read yinsh and it was like wth!
Illedan: haha
jrke: wood 1 was easy i made it various bugs
Marchete: I didn't know that D&B had a name
Marchete: what I'm puzzled is how there were some similarities at that time
Marchete: without internet and stuff
Illedan: I don't remember life before internet :thinking:
Illedan: Anyway, I'm off. cya
jrke: B-Bye
Marchete: we have the SRC of D&B
Marchete: to see max sizes and such
Marchete: ?
Marchete: nvm
Counterbalance: yeah though it's always 7x7 in wood1
Marchete: I saw the contribution, it seems 7x7 is the max size
jrke: always 2*2 in wood 2 and always 7*7 in wood 1
Marchete: private static final int BOARDSIZE_LEVEL1 = 2;
private static final int BOARDSIZE_LEVEL2 = 7;
Marchete: inputs are a bit weird

Mokafela: hi guys im new is it a global chat for all levels or just this ?
Counterbalance: Welcome! This is the global chat.
Mokafela: yeah thanks
Mokafela: is there any way to skip this tutorials?
SPDene: just do them - shouldn't take more than a minute or so
Counterbalance: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Counterbalance: gcc bugs :(
dbdr: Counterbalance: what's the bug?
Counterbalance: i have a loop that produces weird results with -O2 or -Ofast
dbdr: are you sure it's not undefined behaviour?
Counterbalance: it's a 7x7 loop which executes exactly 49 times, each time incrementing 1 of 5 variables, yet, the sum of those variables gets bigger and bigger
JBM: show us
dbdr: :popcorn:
Counterbalance: I'll make a reproducible example
dbdr: this guys reports
Counterbalance: I checked the gcc open bug list - it's huge..
JBM: with all those people finding bugs and no one fixing them
Counterbalance: ok when I make a minimal example it works fine.... it's in a recursive function with depth 2 so maybe something goes wrong there
Counterbalance: It's really straightforward code
Counterbalance: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/c8cc3f6b-ba0c-4729-9530-3e80bbd40c44

jrke: my resubmit made me second else i was first thi morning in D&B dbdr wait i will get my stats back
jrke: ;)
Counterbalance: hmmm i think i may have found the problem using valgrind
darkhorse64: instead of your ternary, why don't you perform a popcount ?
Counterbalance: thought about that, but it's only 2 bits
darkhorse64: it's only one op
Counterbalance: true, i'll add it later ;)
Counterbalance: Ok, the cause was indeed undefined behaviour; apparently, if you wrap the call to that countNums in an if (array_of_size_n[n]) all hell breaks loose..
darkhorse64: Yeah, when your code goes wild, overflow is most often than not the cause
darkhorse64: *more*
Counterbalance: I'll definitely remember that. :)

DaNinja: lol
jacek: ready for production
ottohero: perfect strategy
dbdr: Counterbalance: interesting take you use more time when the board is more full
Counterbalance: yeah, i sim depth 2 when me or the opponent can take a square
Counterbalance: or do you mean when there are more occupied squares? it should only be slower if there are many squares with 3 sides..

JBM: abt8601: where did you get the generic link from?
bruddah: how can i see my friend's puzzle solution?
bruddah: i can't click any of them
Uljahn: you have to solve the puzzle first in the same language
bruddah: i tried to solve but didn't pass all tests and submitted it. do i have to pass all of them?
bruddah: i gave up x'D
Uljahn: you have to get 100% score on submit to see other's solutions
bruddah: thank you

The_Auditor: this site is evel
The_Auditor: spent all free time on the weekend here
jacek: only weekend?

AntiSquid: noice
AntiSquid: would be more alarming to spend a weekend trying to fix some git-repo
dyc3: has anybody attempted the puzzle of the week? I'm stuck
Zm4j: i'm doing it atm
The_Auditor: you don't need backtracking for the puzzle of the week
dyc3: I'm stuck specifically on the case `{{}[{[]}]{}}`, I'm outputting true and it's expecting false
The_Auditor: the verification conditions are ... simpler then the normal brakets puzzle
dyc3: Am I missing something? This case has matching brackets so it should be expecting true, right?
The_Auditor: something else is wrong. the sequence you pasted is correct on it's own
Zm4j: ye that is true
Zm4j: are you looking at right example?
The_Auditor: there are multiple cases in on one run, could it bethat it's complaining about another case ?
dyc3: no, test case 3 "Unextreme at little cost" expects all false, and this is the only one returning true for me
Zm4j: {([]){}())
Zm4j: this is 1st case in 3. test
The_Auditor: there is a > in the middle
dyc3: OH i typoed
dyc3: I wasn't including the <> brackets
The_Auditor: there is a missing } at the end
The_Auditor: yes, < > matter in this puzzle
dyc3: yeah whoops
dyc3: thanks fellas
Chris01: anyone know Java?
The_Auditor: yep
The_Auditor: but google know better . . .
Tee-Resa: sure, wheres the problem?
Chris01: im on the Mars Lander - Episode 1
Chris01: i made a if {} but i dont know how to combine it with the System.out.println("0 3") ;
Chris01: error messege says: Expected two integers but found '0' and 'i'
Chris01: cause im trying to implement the if {} into the soulution
Yasser: if (your condition) {
System.out.println("0 3") ;
}
The_Auditor: println("" + x + " " y);
The_Auditor: println("" + x + " " + y);
Chris01: but if it wants "integers", why do you use the "" symbols?
Chris01: arent those for Strings?
Tee-Resa: to make the int to a string
Tee-Resa: else you would add the two numbers
The_Auditor: the output is always converted to strings in these puzzles
Tee-Resa: println(a + b); is one number
Chris01: holy shit, the code Yasser cam with worked
Chris01: im stupid, when i see the code like it is now idk how i didnt see it before
Chris01: thanks
TheScore: someone who solved Chuck Norris in C#???
Tee-Resa: sry, only know the basics of c#
The_Auditor: i only know the dull version - java
TheScore: What language do you know?
jacek: english
The_Auditor: also, i can't c# , because i wear glasses
Tee-Resa: bad jokes incoming
TheScore: :)))
jacek: ur mum
The_Auditor: guys, are you doing assignments from school or something ?
TheScore: no
jacek: its my hobby
Tee-Resa: uni yes
Chris01: Using this as practice so i can do better on the assignement
Chris01: started with Java like a week ago tho
Tee-Resa: only hoppy, impresive :D
Tee-Resa: *hobby
The_Auditor: hobby here too . . .
TheScore: where can i get some help ? :((
The_Auditor: professor google, maybe... What's the problem ?
TheScore: Chuck Norris :((
Tee-Resa: is it just understand or code technically
Tee-Resa: google is your best friend
TheScore: my code seems.. correct :))) that's why I don't know that to do now
TheScore: what to do*
Tee-Resa: debug your code, pretty helpful
The_Auditor: add debug print out to verify your assesment that the code is correct
Tee-Resa: same idee XD
The_Auditor: if it does not pass, then it's not correct - need to find in what way it is not correct
The_Auditor: have to do this or a living...
SPDene: @TheScore what's the problem? is every test failing? or just certain ones?
Tee-Resa: copy paste to your local interpreter and use the debug mode
TheScore: The problem is Chuck Norris. I'm doing it in C#
SPDene: describe why it's not working. are test failing? which one?S what errors?
TheScore: Every test is failing for now. I'm aiming to do first 2 tests
TheScore: But
TheScore: Even if my code seems correct to me
TheScore: Failure
Found: "0 0 00 000 0 0 "
Expected: "0 0 00 0000 0 00"
Tee-Resa: then you know exactly where the error is
SPDene: re-read the description - it explains why "0 0 00 0000 0 00" is the right answer
TheScore: I also know why
TheScore: the code works for the first block of 0
TheScore: it is 0 0
TheScore: but for the others it writes the correct number of 0s - 1 :((
jacek: so add +1 [solved]
Tee-Resa: can only recommend you to run it locally in debug mode to check your variables step by step
TheScore: i can't add +1. It won't work for the first block of 0s anymore :)))
Tee-Resa: use an boolean too check if its the first one or not
TheScore: yeah, maybe i'll try this but I really want to know why my code isn't working
TheScore: Can I show it or something?
Tee-Resa: we will not understand that without working our way into it, it is easier to run it in debug mode, then you can quickly see where you are losing a number
jacek: eeyup
SPDene: are you putting "the number of zeros" in a vraiable? if so, is the value of that correct (print it)?
SPDene: if it's wrong, there's something wrong with the way you count the 0s; if it's right, there's something wrong with the way you output that number of 0s
TheScore: yeah, i'm puting it in a variable
TheScore: @Tee-Resa I ran it in visual studio
TheScore: with breakpoints
Tee-Resa: @TheScore found error then?
Schwase: um
Schwase: is CG bugged?
The_Auditor: @TheScore, when you transform the message CC into binary, you get the same output as the example?
Schwase: anyone missing the "back" button?
TheScore: Yes. In binary I get the correct output
Schwase: im having trouble with "Escaping the cat" contribution
Schwase: Oups
An error occurred (#510): "An error has occurred during compilation/execution.".
SPDene: I'm getting the same error @Schwase. it worked when I first saw it several days ago
JBM: damn that jacek's REALLY good at glorifying eZ
JBM: 0.23 solid lead on dbdr
dbdr: JBM ?
JBM: that would be me
JBM: what's the atch
dbdr: what are you talking about?
JBM: my "all glory to eZ" multi
The_Auditor: @TheScore, what is your Chuck encoding for the ? character (question mark caracter)
dbdr: ah, that eZ
JBM: you know another one?
dbdr: now we need to figure out who pZ is
dbdr: that one
dbdr: perhapsZenoscave?
darkhorse64: there are 3 pz users. Choose one
dbdr: 3/4, the right one is missing
dbdr: db has 4/4
dbdr: https://www.codingame.com/profile/542e203f407a1b2926febd74d6283a13944013
https://www.codingame.com/profile/e11b6f43ae171fa379baf47331162393699397
dbdr: two users with the same username :thinking:
jacek: ztruct?
JBM: i'd say, far from being the only ones
JBM: lemme try and come up with a few
eulerscheZahl: where is my struct? :sob:
dbdr: all 1 letter and 1 digit usernames are taken, all 62 of them
dbdr: well, 63
jacek: can emoji be in the username?
eulerscheZahl: only a-zA-z0-9_ i think
dbdr: JBM, I think the system is supposed to prevent using the same username
dbdr: _- both allowed
eulerscheZahl: and someone (cyberpunk?) found a user with a space in the name
JBM: try BrunoSilva
dbdr: nice
eulerscheZahl: but how?
JBM: [MAR] Bigtoto for a space
dbdr: maybe created before they prevented it?
JBM: two acually
eulerscheZahl: incomplete account deletion?
dbdr: username: codingame
dbdr: that can be confusing :D
JBM: "MesmeriZing Macho Machine"
JBM: "Copy n Paste"
JBM: the "space" omnes all have userids <= 999999
JBM: could be that
dbdr: yeah, easier to enforce on new than to know how to deal with existing violations
dbdr: I had a same problem in a past life
dbdr: *the
JBM: do tell
JBM: was similar on SO
dbdr: just that, had a DB of users, realized similar names were a problem
JBM: nicks used to have a minlength of 1
JBM: now it's three
dbdr: I even enforced case insensitive unicity, unlike CG
JBM: but they force-changed people
dbdr: - there are safety regulations on minimum crew size
- what's the minimum crew size?
- hm, one I guess
JBM: well a lot of accounts on cg don't have a nickname at all
jacek: i just realized something, took me a while. in d&b you can declare win if you have 25 score :o
JBM: that last accepted puzzle reads like it was straight out of SPOJ
JBM: greedy <-> hard o_O
dbdr: jacek: yeah, the game could end at 25
dbdr: but I like to see the end actually
jacek: that would speed up the rollouts
darkhorse64: especially 49-0

Hjax: flavor of the month game is dots and boxes now?
Hjax: i was under the impression the game was solved, is that not true?
Illedan: 5x5 is solved
Hjax: i see
Hjax: are the people below jrke doing a search?
Hjax: because jrke is definitely doing a really straight forward heuristic
Hjax: play the closest square to the top left that doesnt allow your opponent to gain a square
Hjax: am i missing something here?
Illedan: I think some in the top are doing MinMax or MCTS or something
Illedan: I'm just doing heuristics..
Gorbit99: Who would be interested in a cg editor customization script?
yes_: Are clashes not starting for others as well?
Hanne030: Yes same problem here
imogen3232: try refreshing page
imogen3232: that starts them for me
JonnatanRuiz21: yes ,try refreshing page it worked for me
Hanne030: Check, it's working again
Hanne030: Thx
Diordnas: apparently there are only 2 people online
Zuabros: bugged
DR1Rush: why the clash not start
DR1Rush: ?
ffio1: Yeah seems like it's bugged. I need to keep refreshing to do some things, like to join the game, to have the IDE allow suggestions, and to share my code.
Schwase: question
Schwase: how do you add indentation in the puzzle statement?
Schwase: nvm got it
Zuabros: hofw is clash of code score / ranking calculated?
Putnam3145: TrueSkill, i'd assume
Zuabros: is it about winning, just like a FIDE rating, or doing lots of clashes will increase your rating?
Putnam3145: with decay over time, yes
Schwase: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/5367949a948b4e1b79fff2bf93a2251d682e
Schwase: im working on an i/o puzzle
Schwase: private right now but i think im almost ready to go to WIP
Schwase: just need to code my solution
Zenoscave: Are the tests/validators all meant to be P A1a => A1a?
Schwase: im working on them now
Zenoscave: Ok
Zenoscave: I like the idea. I'll code a solution once the rules are finalized.
Schwase: cool
Schwase: any thoughts on how to do the queen?
Zenoscave: I would approach as an extension of the neighborhood.
Schwase: ...?
Schwase: what
Zenoscave: Urm. trying to math it one sec.
Schwase: no not code
Zenoscave: I know.
Schwase: i mean how to design the queen's movements
Zenoscave: I am trying to describe it but having a hard time with the description ;)
Schwase: ok no worrie
Schwase: s
Schwase: did you see the comment about the queen?
Zenoscave: yes
Zenoscave: I don't understand what #1 entails
Schwase: can move in x, xy, xyz etc
Zenoscave: is A1a => B2c viable
Schwase: definitely not
Schwase: do you mean A1a to B2b?
Zenoscave: It isn't quite obvious to people who are not familiar with 3d Chess.
Schwase: its not real 3d chess actually
Zenoscave: My point still stands
Schwase: fair
Schwase: its 3 space
Schwase: a queen must move the same number of spaces in all directions she travels
Zenoscave: That's what I was trying to figure out how to say.
Zenoscave: bingo.
Zenoscave: That is the right approach I think
Schwase: so no, A1a => B2c is not viable, because her delta(x,y,z) = (1,1,2) but it can only be (d,d,d)
Zenoscave: so a vector <2, 2, 0> is fine but not <2, 3 ,0>
Schwase: yes
Zenoscave: I agree totally but I just wanted to show it isn't clear by description
Schwase: its ok
Schwase: im a physics major so i sometimes talk in gibberish haha
Schwase: so my question would be is <2,2,0> ok and is <2,2,2> ok. Should only one be ok and which one
Schwase: also <2,0,0> is ok
Schwase: basically:
Schwase: <2,0,0> is going to be OK
Schwase: <2,2,0> may or may not be OK
Schwase: <2,2,2> may or may not be OK
Schwase: and im not sure how to decide
Schwase: i kind of feel like making the queen either a rook or a bishop and disallowing <2,2,0>
Schwase: ok, ive just changed the puzzle to WIP
Schwase: i needed to add filler just to convert it
Zenoscave: Id say 1 would make the problem easier to describe but I agree with 2 asa theoretical purity porition
Schwase: awesome. im sticking with 2
Schwase: appreciate the feedback
EveryOS: Clash of Code was making me reload when it showed a new screen

andrew_pahl: when testing a solution to a puzzle against a test case with a series of inputs, is there a way to see which input specifically triggered a failure?
