I was surprised to not find this asked already, though there is a great question on darts checkouts: Darts meets Codegolf

Your challenge is to calculate which scores are not possible with 'n' darts below the maximum score for 'n' darts. E.g. for n=3, the maximum possible score is 180 so you would return [163,166,169,172,173,175,176,178,179]

For a bare bones rule summary:

Possible scores for a single dart are:

  • 0 (miss)
  • 1-20, 25, 50
  • double or triple of 1-20

Rules:

  • standard code golf rules apply
  • you must take a single parameter 'n' in whatever way your language allows and return a list/array of all unique scores below the maximum score which cannot be scored with n darts. You may also print these values to the console.
  • order of results is unimportant
  • shortest code in bytes wins

This is definitely using a massive sledgehammer but it works. (It doesn't just brute force it, it brutally brute forces it)

{^60*$_∖[X+] (|(^21 X*^4),25,50)xx$_}

Try it online!

Here's an explanation of it:

{                                   } anonymous block for the 
       ∖                                set difference of
 ^60*$_                                   - 0 .. max score (60 * throwcount)
        [X+]                    xx$_      - the cross addition (throwcount times) of 
             (                 )              all possible score values, being 
              |(    X*  )                       flattened cross multiplication of
                ^21   ^4                          0..20 and 0..3 (for double and triple)
                         ,25,50                 and 25 and 50

The X* ^4 cross multiplier generates a lot of duplicate values (there will be 20+ zeros involved and that's before doing the cross addition), but that doesn't cause any problems since we use the set difference which works with the unique values.

This currently fails for $n == 1 (which should return an empty set), but there is an issue filed and will likely work in future versions. JoKing's version is a teeny bit longer, but works for $n == 1 in current Rakudo.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Not shorter, but if you change U4 to S3 the performance is improved a bit because both cartesian products don't have to deal with all those additional useless 0s. Input 3 outputs in ~13 seconds instead of ~30 in that case (although input 4 still times out, and this is code golf, so doesn't matter that much ;p). \$\endgroup\$ Jun 20, 2019 at 13:59

With a 0-based inclusive range yT could be used instead of 21, kinda like this: -S*60QsM^*MP*S3a}ZyT25 (but then without the Z of course, with the } replaced with the 0-based inclusive range). Maybe you see something to golf in this alternative approach of adding the 25 to the list, and removing the 75 after the first cartesian product? \$\endgroup\$ Jun 20, 2019 at 15:00

Based off of lirtosiast's answer.

Array's third argument specifies the offset (default 1), and its fourth argument specifies the head to use instead of List. ##& is equivalent to Sequence, so Array[1##&,{4,21},0,##&] returns a (flattened) Sequence containing members of the outer product of 0..3 and 0..20.
