Code.golf – Solve problems in the least number of characters
- navjack27 4y agoWouldn't it be more useful to solve things with the least CPU cycles?
- nighthawk454 4y agoI mean it’s a learning tool, not a design pattern. Far simpler than figuring out how to measure/cut cpu cycles.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoCode golf is a recreational pursuit, sometimes educational, sometimes competitive. I don’t think it’s generally expected to be directly useful beyond that. As far as CPU cycles, sometimes the educational aspect leads code golfers (and such audience they might have) to discover efficiencies they mightn't have otherwise.
- uo21tp5hoyg 4y agoIt would be interesting to see the kinds of results that come from that. There's some insanely talented tinkerers in the code-golf community.
- jlawson 4y agoHow do I see others' solutions? I'm interested!
- AkshatJ27 4y agoIt's a competitive site, so you can't view others solutions.
