YAPH	Can't Post

Seeing all you guys golfing, even at the beginners forum, I wondered something.

- Who can write a YAPH*, with the least code.
- The YAPH still has to look "perl complex", in other words:
1. You shouldn't be able to read it, or see what the result is , without running it by perl first. (so I guess you don't need the spoiler tag Wink

)
2. Just converting a hex string only using hex() is not good enough.

Good luck!

FYI, it's normally called a JAPH. Wink

Here's my entry. Besides being a bit unreadable (as I hope), it has a nice little delay effect (at least on my HPUX machine) as if you were connected to the shell via a 300 baud modem. Also, it's golf score cannot be beaten: Once it has been run, it ends up as an empty text document which has obviously a golf score of zero. Tongue

Code

$/=$*,$|=$=,@ARGV=$0,($_=chop($*=<>))=~m&#&&&{$*=$,},truncate$0,length 
$*;$*||exit,y)J-y)G-v),print,exec'perl',,,$0#,uhnfdk ouhS uhkwrqd wvxM

Much fun,

Oeps!

However, I find this solution of yours very creative.
Are there any other forumers here, willing to try this golf out?

I have read these things for years but never done one .. so my first
attempt .. not very pretty but somewhat noisy at least

print map{s/1//g;$_}map{s/44$//,sprintf sprintf('%cc',37),$_}(unpack(sprintf('%c%c',117,42),<DATA>)=~m/...?44(?!4)/g);__DATA__;
M-S0T-#$Q-S0T,3$U-#0Q,38T-#,R-#0Y-S0T,3$P-#0Q,3$T-#$Q-C0T,3`TM-#0Q,#$T-#$Q-#0T,S(T-#$Q,C0T,3`Q-#0Q,30T-#$P.#0T,S(T-#$P-#0T7.3<T-#DY-#0Q,#<T-#$P,30T,3$T-#0`

Hi,

I really like this one (check it out, it's called a quine):

Code

$a='JAPH'; print map "\$a='$a'; $_, q($_)", q(print map "\$a='$a';$_, q($_)")

Sadly it's not mine, I think the author is Tushar Samant. Check out Esoteric Topics in Computer Programming for more fun...

Another try ... hex used, but not in the obviously dissallowed way (I think) :).

Code

print map{lc substr' aCehJklnopRStUzbcE980F#)r',hex$_,do{1;}}split//,qg5ecd0189d43b0a3b7041263bg

Can you translate it? It doesn't make sense to me.

Re: [yapp] YAPH [In reply to]	Can't Post

It's a JAPH in Latin. I don't know if anyone has done something like that before, but I guess at least Damian has. Wink

Well, unless you speak Latin, the best way to find out what my code does is:

1. Install the [url=http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Lingua-Romana-Perligata]Lingua::Romana::Perligata module
2. Run the code (and you see what it does)
3. Add one of the diagnostic arguments (as described in the manpage) to the module call (and you can see how it's done)
