Thorcode: hi
Steven_YIP: :
ESMAKING: hi my name is ESMAKING
AmmarSalmi: Im struggling with number of descendants thing. Is there a hint?
Thorcode: which puzzle?
DustinWestGlow: AmmarSalmi hello :) which puzzle?
AmmarSalmi: The latest contest
AmmarSalmi: The graves and the family tree things
DustinWestGlow: Thorcode
AmmarSalmi: Fall challenge 2021
AmmarSalmi: The crossbow owner has a hint of having 48 descendant
Thorcode: DustinWestGlow why you ping me?
AmmarSalmi: So he's males and he has 48 descens
DustinWestGlow: If you could help him with Fall challenge 2021
AmmarSalmi: But my algo to calc the descendants of each person on nodes
Thorcode: I haven't try that
AmmarSalmi: seems way slower than it should be
KiwiTae: just dfs the descendant its like 2 3 lines
KiwiTae: the tree is small too shouldnt take long
AmmarSalmi: Ok. I'm just useless when it comes to algos. I haven't studied much algos in my life. So I'm using recursion and it's taking forever. I'll try to share my code. If you can point out where I went wrong. Because I'm not even able to debug it because it's too slow.
AmmarSalmi: not printing anything
AmmarSalmi: https://pastebin.com/giRnPQ0P
DustinWestGlow: Ammar, that is very clean code, it's probably edited for proper counting ( which can be difficult ). Good job so far.
DustinWestGlow: I'm not familiar with the challenge though. Thor or Kiwi?
Thorcode: I haven't try that
Thorcode: sorry
DustinWestGlow: Ammar, let me look
Uljahn: guess you can substitute getById(id) with a dictionary id:node
Uljahn: if ids are unique ofc
DustinWestGlow: Ammar, id is a built in python function, can you use another word? Or not?
AmmarSalmi: Oh right. But up untill I got to the descendants thing it caused no problems
DustinWestGlow: Okay then, so I'm not far enough to see the whole problem. Maybe you can explain what your code is solving.
But, why do you have 'descendants' and 'childIds'? Are not those the same things? A descendant is a child, right?
AmmarSalmi: no a child is your own child, descendant can be the grandson of your grandson.
AmmarSalmi: Anyone with a family tree that ends up to you is one of your descendants
AmmarSalmi: So each node has id and childIds. So you take each id in childIds list and dig up their own childIds. And keep going deeper.
AmmarSalmi: Think of it like website crawling. A link to a page with links. etc...
DustinWestGlow: Okay, it's crawling. And the challenge fills most of the info like node structure as you solve it. And it has a 90minute time limit?
AmmarSalmi: No time limit really. It's been days and I'm still solving it.
DustinWestGlow: on CodingEscape? Mine has a time limit and I had to pass a practice room
DustinWestGlow: We're talking about the team escape room stuff? I signed up but it's a lot of problems before we get as far as you, right?
AmmarSalmi: Yes.
AmmarSalmi: Fall challenge
AmmarSalmi: 2021
DustinWestGlow: ok
AmmarSalmi: The most recent one
DustinWestGlow: Hey man, I have to log off. I believe you can do it. Remember counting indexes, formatting output, and fixing output is always a time consumer. I will be gone before I can solve or help out.
derjack: oO
AmmarSalmi: Thanks for everything
DustinWestGlow: Yw
AmmarSalmi: I need to study algorithme. It will make me a better coder.
DustinWestGlow: Have you picked up the Algorithms book?
https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-3rd-MIT-Press/dp/0262033844
AmmarSalmi: Nice. I will give it a look. Right now I'm reading learning python by Mark Lutz from O'reilly
AmmarSalmi: I want to solidify my understanding of the basics
AmmarSalmi: Thanks for the recommendation
DustinWestGlow: ofc what are you building? If I may ask? or is it secret
derjack: algorithms eh\
DustinWestGlow: yes, why? der, don't you know the algorithms book is very popular, eh
Uljahn: maybe you should start with data structures first
DustinWestGlow: upvote
Uljahn: and big-O notation for complexity
derjack: i dont want math. i want to make computers think
Uljahn: but even computers might be inefficient and slow in data handling when being programmed the wrong way
DustinWestGlow: but if he wants it that way bad enough, he'll make it look like a good alternative
Uljahn: Automaton2000: are you faster than a human?
Automaton2000: i think we have the same issue
DustinWestGlow: what happens when I get stuck drawing out a program but the next step to take in coding it gets farther and farther away
DustinWestGlow: on aneo
Ilyas82794: hey guys
Ilyas82794: remember me
ropi336: yeah
Uljahn: Automaton2000: how to be more popular on CG?
Automaton2000: do you use your own ide
Jerrasterix: Automaton2000, I have a question, did you really call eulerschezahl as noob ?
Automaton2000: and what if i want to reach legend league
Jerrasterix: Automaton2000, I have a question, did you really call eulerschezahl as noob ?
Automaton2000: i can't find it in the cloud
Jerrasterix: It seems the chat is bugged :confused:
nyloc: Is the red "1" on the ACTIVITIES menu entry always there, it always triggers my OCD to mark something as read...
GamingGnawer: Is it possible to join only certain kinds of clashes?
e.g. only do fastest mode or not do reverse etc.
ESMAKING: No that is not possible my friend
ESMAKING: :)
GamingGnawer: ok,thanks! I guess I'll need to learn a more compact language then,
c++ is not great for shortest code (at least not when I'm writing it :P )
Bartos: Hello guys, i need help i don't undersatnd how to counter this problem :
"Timeout: your program did not provide an input in due time." on the episode Shadows of the Knight - Episode 1
GamingGnawer: the games define a response time before which your program needs to give an output
GamingGnawer: chances are your program gets stuck in some infinite loop (or truly massive computation) and doesn't give an output in time
GamingGnawer: or simply that you've failed to make an output statement
Bartos: on the standard output i have my "answer" that why i don't undersatnd
GamingGnawer: do you get the same "Timeout" if you move that output to the top of your program?
Bartos: yes
Bartos: Sortie d'erreur : http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/4d502e2e-de8b-4108-b4c5-6423072a06ba
GamingGnawer: oh...
Bartos: it's in french that show you my fprintf stderr output then my standard output and then the informations
GamingGnawer: hmm, so it looks like your program outputs once
GamingGnawer: but pherhaps then get's stuck,
GamingGnawer: you need to output at the end of the "while (1)" block
Bartos: it's what i did normally
Bartos: i will try soemthing
Bartos: maybe i have don't understand very well
GamingGnawer: i assume you get the error meeage on turn 2/2
Bartos: yes totally, i give the next position of batman do i have to put his deplacement like a direction and not a next position ??
Bartos: can i send you my code ??
GamingGnawer: yeah sure
PRDaylyanov: I love coc
Bartos: i modify him a bit and i send you take 2 3 mlin
Bartos: ok i don't understand i have new output ...
Bartos: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/6a1953b8-1c4d-4f9c-a3dd-e78747f7175e
Bartos: thx for your help i appreciate
Bartos: i don't understand why now i have 42 43 and not 3 4 cuz at the frist bomb_dir is DR
MoistySox: fr fr
GamingGnawer: are you missing a newline?
GamingGnawer: so you give output but the game doesn't catch it?
Jerrasterix: Bartos can you share a replay
Bartos: Oh it seems to be that the new line ...
Bartos: thx
GamingGnawer: great!
but a nasty little bug
Bartos: yeah :'( have nice day ! :D
andresporras: I want to report a bug, I got 100% percent of the tests correct but after submit I got 0%
GamingGnawer: u2!
Bartos: after submit the test are not the same
andresporras: but from 100% to 0%?? really?? I might understand 75, 50... but 0?
Jerrasterix: which puzzle ??
andresporras: nevermind, I have look other other answers and I get why it happened
derjack: oO
Jerrasterix: can someone help me, How to get into top 1000 in Clash of code ??
Jerrasterix: i am just stuck in 1200s
derjack: clash more. spam clash links here. there are so many ways to do that ~
jgizquierdo: this may be a really silly question, but I'm not understanding the formatting of the questions when the inputs are used. There is a for loop on each problem that stores n values. Am I supposed to write my code in that for loop or just store those values in a list?
Uljahn: you can modify the default code as you see appropriate, just keep the inputs order intact
jgizquierdo: ah okay! I didn't know if I was supposed to modify it or not
nrauto: Hi
Notgoodatcoding5: Hi
Notgoodatcoding5: @nrauto How are you?
Chazzy: Where can i go to learn JavaScript here?
VizGhar: You want learn basics here
VizGhar: *won't
zeedev: hi from where r u guys
linjoehan: what time dose this event thing end?
Kepe55: Do you guys use scratch paper when solving problems?
Syzer3: @Kepe55 when the problem is hard
Syzer3: how about you ?
Kepe55: I use a whiteboard
Syzer3: I tihnk I'm gonna beat the Boss 3
Kepe55: I tried to only use comments but that's a bad idea, I cant draw diagrams and stuff
Syzer3: I think I'm gonna organize for myself
Syzer3: Think MrFriser will also beat the Boss 3
jacek: boss 3?
Syzer3: Yeah.. just starting
Syzer3: got to bronze league
jacek: nice
jacek: im assuming its pod racing
Syzer3: how many boost there are always only one ?
Syzer3: yeah
jacek: yes
Syzer3: now need to kill boss 4
Syzer3: how about you ?
jacek: i havent touched this game for long time. im in the end of legend league
jacek: you get 2 pods in gold
Westicles: when the strike over?
jacek: strike?
Westicles: mods
Westicles: oh, I guess now
Westicles: we need euler to get back and update his NS python script
jacek: whats wrong with it
Westicles: it broke with the api change
jacek: nyoro~n
darkhorse64: It's a mod strike not a dev strike. However, I remember they say they will reconnect when the "contest" is over
jacek: isnt it essentially over? whats the point of playing it now
jacek: (or ever)
darkhorse64: tbh, I played it with my family out of any competing spirit and it was quite fun in this context. But, ofc, I sorely miss a real programming contest
Stilgart: jacek: what was the point of playing day1 when CG's servers were out of reach
Stilgart: ?
jacek: meow
jacek: nanodesu!
ddddrerf: im not really good at coding
jacek: oO
ddddrerf: i started doing this 2 weeks ago
Essenti: https://escape.codingame.com/game-session/lo2-v46-ipr-lb1/in-game
jacek: Oo
MACKEYTH: What language(s) are you learning, ddddrerf?
Essenti: Need help :(
Essenti: on escaperoom
Beretta_Vexee: from help import need !
DFAF: 我在学pon
DFAF: 对
DFAF: pon
MACKEYTH: Does CodingEscape include a video chat, or do you need to use another app for communication with your team?
DigitalOsmosis: how can you get debug output?
jacek: print to stderr
MACKEYTH: And some puzzles with graphics have debug playback mode
Wontonimo: who is St. Derr and why is he the saint of error logging ?
Wontonimo: Why was the analog oscilloscope not allowed in the fundamentalist Christian church? Because it was non-binary
jacek: :door:
Wontonimo: The oldest computer can be traced back to Adam and Eve. It was an apple but with extremely limited memory. Just 1 byte. And then everything crashed.
Wontonimo: What did Stephen Hawking say when his computer crashed?
Wontonimo: Nothing :drum:
Wontonimo: okay, i think we need a bot that says random computer jokes when there is a lull in conversation for too long
jacek: what about Automaton2000
Automaton2000: nothing to do with the fact that it is really easy
Wontonimo: interesting. almost makes sense given the subject
jacek: maybe it just learns the gravity assistance https://streamable.com/jvj37n
TimothyAlexisVass: Imagine a 2d array arranged as a spiral.
TimothyAlexisVass: of size n*n
TimothyAlexisVass: n=3:
TimothyAlexisVass: 9 8 7
6 1 2
5 4 3
TimothyAlexisVass: input: integer n
TimothyAlexisVass: output: sum of diagonals
TimothyAlexisVass: some guy did it in ruby with 35 characters without sharing code...
I have no idea how? :D
TimothyAlexisVass: n got up to a lot.. I don't remember the constraints but the last test, sum was like 4324123532
TimothyAlexisVass: Is there a mathematical trick to it?
jacek: math :unamused:
jacek: this is it? https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/5381b61d2ef1df5e8143d4d58b8feb439458

ipsissimus: just finished an interview with Ford. :O
ipsissimus: had 3 people in the interview. dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing
ipsissimus: :thinking:
waschak: what are u talking about
ipsissimus: i had an interview with Ford. im not sure i can say it any simpler lol
ipsissimus: using CoC to practice the skillz
waschak: should be easy for u to get the job then
waschak: since u practise on COC
ipsissimus: lol, getting those bad habits
waschak: i see
waschak: i know a friend who got the job even if he wasn't that good.
ipsissimus: thats good news for me lol, i want the job
waschak: Ford isn't that selective , you just have to know the basics
waschak: if you are sure that you did well , then congrats for u , that's what they want
ipsissimus: but in the CV space for assisted driving
ipsissimus: i have exp in CV so i really hope it went well
ipsissimus: :O
waschak: they will care for sure , even if you lie , my friend lied about the experience , he didn't even have 8 months of experience , but he applied for senior software engineer and he got the job lol
waschak: in his cv , he said that he has 5 years of experience ...
ipsissimus: well i didnt lie, but they had a software dev, a software lead, and a manager in the interview
ipsissimus: sweating bullets for these ambiguous questions they asking
waschak: like?
ipsissimus: What tools do you use in the software development landscape? and in what capacity
ipsissimus: like.. am i supposed to say git and jenkins?
ipsissimus: are they asking something else? idk
waschak: they want to see you how familiar are you with software tools
waschak: that's common thing
ipsissimus: yeah im just saying, the ambiguity of the questions means i have no idea if my answers were what they were looking for
ipsissimus: i couldve said we used proprietary tools at my last job and thats true, but would say nothing of my competence
waschak: they want to see only if you are familiar with the tools that are required for the position
waschak: so for example if they want you to work with intellij in job description , you have to mention that
ipsissimus: yeah its mainly python and automation
ipsissimus: so thats what i went with
jacek: welp https://devhumor.com/content/uploads/images/October2015/nosql.jpeg
ipsissimus: ye lmao
waschak: Exactly , even if you know for example java or C++ , you don't have to mention it because they will not care
ipsissimus: they asked and i was like, well i have experience with Google non relational datapools
waschak: well done
waschak: never say no , always try to change the subject related to what they are asking
ipsissimus: yeah i think i did pretty good, i also asked them questions to eat in to the interview time
ipsissimus: who knows if the next question is one i cant answer
waschak: if they ask me if i know mysql , i will go like , yeah i know the sql langage and i got the opportunity to work with it but i know mostly ms sql or oracle ..
waschak: and i will expand my answer
waschak: then for sure if they ask me about oracle or something , thats perfect for me because i know the answer , if not then its good too
waschak: the idea is not getting caught lying
ipsissimus: ye u right
ipsissimus: can anyone shorten this code?
ipsissimus: t=int(input().replace(':',))
q=int(input().replace(':',))
print('EARLY'if t>q else'DELAYED'if t<q else'ON TIME')
ipsissimus: the guy who got 1st place on my question just did it in one line with some voodoo
ipsissimus: like i dont even want to post what his solution was, itll probably look like spam lmao
jacek: is this some fixed format?
jacek: then no need to convert to int, and you can compare strings directly :?
ipsissimus: yeah they are times written with : separators
ipsissimus: hh:mm:ss
jacek: oO
ipsissimus: hh: m m : ss
aandrukhovich: hi)
you dont need to replace : symbol, it doesnt affect final comparation
aandrukhovich: task is just compare 2 string
ipsissimus: aadrukhovich what is your solution mang
aandrukhovich: my raw code was
```i=input
a,b=i(),i()
i('ON TIME'*(a==b)+'EARLY'*(a>b)+(a<b)*'DELAYED')```
aandrukhovich: my raw code was
i=input
a,b=i(),i()
i('ON TIME'*(a==b)+'EARLY'*(a>b)+(a<b)*'DELAYED')
ipsissimus: and the code you shared was:
exec(bytes('㵩湩異ੴⱡ㵢⡩Ⱙ⡩⡩伧⁎䥔䕍⨧愨㴽⥢✫䅅䱒❙⠪㹡⥢⠫㱡⥢✪䕄䅌䕙❄', 'u16')[2:])
aandrukhovich: then i applied some magic, it's now a new magic here)
ipsissimus: which idk what the hell it is
ipsissimus: cmon man lmao
ipsissimus: and you share it to meme on me
TAlshalby: what is CoC?
ipsissimus: clash of code
jacek: well, utf16 character which is 2 bytes count as 1 character
aandrukhovich: yep
TAlshalby: how do you practice for a job with CoC?
jacek: he applied for professional coc solver
ipsissimus: i spam the puzzles and learn something new all the time
ipsissimus: i learned how to use map() and how to unpack lists with *
ipsissimus: all here in the solutions other people share
ipsissimus: i learned that print() has end and sep arguments that help for formatting
aandrukhovich: https://www.codingame.com/blog/code-golf-python/
this can help you a little bit with some python magic in shortest mode)
ipsissimus: thanks, its not that i want to make the shortest code, its just that its kinda disturbing that i dont even know what it would do if you told me to figure it out lol
ipsissimus: dang my guy, that link has some hacks
Majeck: Hello
Majeck: Can somebody send me the herokuapp for finding clashes?
AstroHydes: https://eulerschezahl.herokuapp.com/codingame/puzzles/
Majeck: Thanks!
Stephen10121: does anyone have problems with the group chat disappearing?
Thorcode: ?
Stephen10121: like in the clashes when somebody types something, the chat disappears.
Thorcode: I duno
._.YO._.: HELLO WORLD!!!
Jerrasterix: sorry, The WORLD blocked programmers for spamming its chat
Wontonimo: noone may utter the W word here, or say hello to it. Shame! Heathens!
Stephen10121: what about wORLD
Wontonimo: oh, that's fine SpongeBob
Thorcode: I think I will improve my clash ranks :D
Jerrasterix: hello Wontonimo !! still online
Jerrasterix: Blaise said that once you have crossed 500 clashes, you can see answers for clash, how can we see it ??
Thorcode: wow
Thorcode: really
Jerrasterix: well first of all, is it true :confused:
Jerrasterix: idk Thorcode
Thorcode: ask mod
Thorcode: the easiet
Jerrasterix: no mods online
Thorcode: :((
Thorcode: ask a guy has legend achivement in clash
Thorcode: hey AlecMan are you there?
Jerrasterix: he isn't in world chat
AlecMan: uhm
AlecMan: what's up?
Jerrasterix: ohhhh....
Thorcode: that real?
Jerrasterix:
Blaise said that once you have crossed 500 clashes, you can see answers for clash, how can we see it ??
Thorcode: Blaise said that once you have crossed 500 clashes, you can see answers for clash, how can we see it ?? this
Jerrasterix: this one
AlecMan: hmmm
Thorcode: if yes it is not fairi
AlecMan: I've never looked into it
Thorcode: oh it is real?
AlecMan: I'm not sure :/
AlecMan: I've never heard of it
Thorcode: you can figure out
Jerrasterix: then Blaise trolled that guy ig
Thorcode: cuz you got that achivment
AlecMan: yeah I don't see the option anywhere
Thorcode: wow in my clash alec solved like hack
Thorcode: how
Thorcode: for i in range(l):n=int(input());x=n*5 if n%2==0 else n*3;a.append(x)
Thorcode: what wrong uiwth my code????????????????????
Thorcode: I can't sum :((((
Thorcode: oh I'm stupid
