All the challenges on this site are focused on byte count, or the characters themselves. This one is different. Your challenge is to write a program that produces output which has a code point sum identical to the source's code point sum.

To produce a code point sum:

  1. Find the values of the characters in the program's character set.
    For example - FOO in ASCII: F = 70, O = 79, O = 79
  2. Add them all together.
    Code point sum of FOO in ASCII: F+O+O = 70+79+79 = 228.

An example of an ASCII sum quine would be if the source code was ABC and the output was !!!!!!. This is because the sum of the the ASCII values of the source (A = 65, B = 66, C = 67, sum = 198) is the same as the sum of the ASCII values in the output (! = 33, 33*6 = 198). BBB would also be valid output, as would cc.

Rules

  • Your program must not be a reverse, shuffled, error, or any other type of "true" quine. To elaborate: If the output contains all the same characters as the source, it is invalid.
  • Your program cannot use any errors/warnings from the compiler/interpreter as the output.
  • Your program's source must use the same codepage as the output.
  • Your program may use any codepage that was created before this challenge was.
  • Your program's output must not contain any unprintable characters (e.g. ASCII 0 through 31, or above 127) aside from linefeeds and tabs.
  • Standard loopholes apply.
  • If the source and/or output has a trailing linefeed, it must be included in the code point sum.
  • Compiler flags need to be included in the final byte count (score), but not the source's code point sum.
  • The output/source may not be empty.

Scoring

Shortest answer in byte count (not code point sum) wins. Please use this header format answers:

# Jelly, 12 bytes, sum 56 (SBCS)

You can use this tool to calculate ASCII sums.

Retina, 1 byte, sum = 58 (ASCII)

:

This counts the matches of : in the input (0), so it prints

0

The code points of :, 0, and LF (linefeed) are 58, 48, and 10 (respectively), and 58 = 48 + 10.

I used this and this to do my calculations. Took me an hour and a half. But fun.

Try It Online!

How it works

STICK AROUND is a loop, that loops 2048 times on the index iaV, but this index steps by 8. So there is 256 loops, printing H and a linefeed (72+10 = 82, 82*256 = 20992).

This is still HIGHLY golfable (by finding other calcs) but it is long and boring to measure your byte sum every time you do a modification.

Please tell me if I'm mistaken anywhere.

³³³,:D+++

Was fun, since I don't know Jelly at all.

How it works

I don't have any idea. But ³ does put 100 in the stack, , puts the stack in an array or something, : might concatenate the thing while D lists every letter of the last numeral (which does not exist), and +++ are for fun. The first and last line does not affect the output :)

V, 2 bytes, Sum 255 (Latin1)

Try it online!

Hexdump:

00000000: 1ee1                                     ..

The first character is ctrl-^, or LATIN1/ASCII code-point 0x1E. The second character is alt-a, or the LATIN1 character 0xE1. This program outputs ÿ, which is 0xFF in LATIN1.

How does it work?

The first character is a no-op. It has no effect on the program at all. The second character is the append single character command. But we don't specify what character to append. So, due to implicit endings, it appends the character that V uses to signal the program is over, which just so happens to be 0xFF.

Factor, 7 bytes, sum 250

7/2 .


Try it online!

Outputs 3+1/2 and a newline.

Factor has a rational number type. When an improper fraction (numerator > denominator) is printed, it is converted to a mixed fraction form (integer part + proper fraction part).

Since the easiest way to adjust the byte value sum is to add spaces or newlines (which are the only token separators in Factor), I tried various fractions until the code's sum is higher than the output's sum by a multiple of 10, and added a couple newlines at the end.

Cubix, 20 bytes, code point sum 1505

OuOOQ++OOOOU@>!OOO<

Contains the unprintable character DEL (ascii 127).

Q pushes " (the largest constant available in cubix), then repeatedly prints out (O) 68 or 102 enough times to get it to 68686868686868102102102102102 which is 1505; through some trial and error I realized that I needed 81 more points than . (a Cubix no-op and ASCII 46) which resulted in needing DEL, which is still a no-op in Cubix.

On a cube:

    O u
    O O
Q + + O O O O U
@ > ! O O O  <

  • \$\begingroup\$ Way ahead of me in this one. I was no where close to getting a correct sum. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 25, 2017 at 10:12
  • \$\begingroup\$ @TheLethalCoder The ASCII sum of ^*3 was 187, so I tried solving x+187=4x, but that resulted in no integer solutions. So I went on to ^*2, which have me 186+x=3x which gave me x as 93, the code point of ]. That was all I did :) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @TheLethalCoder I'd suppose it depends on the encoding, because Carrot uses ASCII by default. \$\endgroup\$

Cubically, 3 bytes, sum = 105 (ASCII)

%4

The third byte is DLE, which has code point 16, so the code point sum of the source code is
37 + 52 + 16 = 105.

The program prints

36

whose code point sum is 51 + 54 = 105.

  • N initializes the stack with 10

  • O^O output current number redirect to top face and output again
  • vw redirect back to the ( decrement to begin the loop again

Labyrinth, 6 bytes, sum 271 (ASCII)

92
9!@

Try it online!

Outputs 92299 (the number 92, then the number 299, without separators).

I experimented with small layouts that print some digits in the code twice until I got

99
9!@

whose output's ASCII sum is 7 higher than code's. Decreasing a digit on the top row by one decreases two digits in the output, which leads to the solution above.

Husk, 4 bytes, sum 334 (Husk SBCS)

up63

Output:

[3,7]

The value of a digit is given by 0x3? (where ? stands for that digit) and u,p,[,],, have values 0x75,0x70,0x5b,0x5d,0x2c - thus the sums are:

0x75 + 0x70 + 0x36 + 0x33        = 0x14e
0x5b + 0x33 + 0x2c + 0x37 + 0x5d = 0x14e

Outputs 1,2,3, or in cQuents terms, prints the first three terms of the sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6....

Now listen. This was, literally, the first program I tried. The reason I tried it was because this was the program I used for Output with the same length as code. And it freaking worked.
