As you probably know, there have been multiple lovely Jimmy challenges recently popping up. In these challenges, you were challenged with our beloved friend's acrobatics skills. Now we've got a different challenge for you. Today you will be identifying different types of Jimmys!


Explanation

There are three varieties of Jimmys: dwarf, acrobat, and bodybuilder.

This is dwarf Jimmy:               o

This is acrobat Jimmy:            /o\

This is bodybuilder Jimmy:       /-o-\

These Jimmys are all great friends and they like to stand on the same line as each other. Your task is, given a Jimmy scene like so:

  o  /o\       o   /-o-\/-o-\  o          /o\

Output the amount of dwarves, acrobats, and bodybuilders on the line, respectively.

The challenge

  • Take input in any reasonable form as a Jimmy scene, as shown in an example above.
  1. The input string should be one line and optionally contains the three varieties of Jimmys and optional whitespace.

  2. The string will not necessarily contain all of the Jimmy varieties or whitespace.

  3. The string will not contain any characters not in o/\ - .

  4. Any combination of Jimmy varieties is possible. This means that the same or different type of Jimmy can be next to each other. You must account for that.

  5. Leading and trailing whitespace is optional and by no means required - your program should account for a string with or without leading and/or trailing whitespace.

  6. The string should contain only valid Jimmys and whitespace. For instance, ---///--- is not allowed because it is not a valid Jimmy sequence.

  • Output three numbers: The count of dwarves, acrobats, and bodybuilders in the scene (in respective order).
  1. This may be an output to the console as space-separated integers, or it may be a return value from a function as some sort of container (i.e an array type).

  2. The output, in whatever format, must be ordered as mentioned in the top bullet above this rule.

  • Standard rules and loopholes apply.

Test cases

     /-o-\           /-o-\     o/o\  /-o-\       /-o-\                /-o-\
OUTPUT: 1 1 5


      o o               /o\    o o      o                    /o\             /o\
OUTPUT: 5 3 0


 /-o-\     /-o-\            /-o-\/-o-\   o /o\/o\    /-o-\o /-o-\       /o\/-o-\
OUTPUT: 2 3 7


  /-o-\  o                 /-o-\               o/o\
OUTPUT: 2 1 2

If you'd like more test cases, use this tool to generate more random test cases.

Scoring

This is , so lowest score in bytes wins.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @HyperNeutrino That's basically the one reason that you might now see "Python 3.8 (pre-release)" floating around the site. Another restriction is that, unless it's on its own and not the only expression in a statement (in which case you might prefer regular assignment instead), it must be parenthesized (+2 bytes). \$\endgroup\$ Jul 15, 2019 at 17:12

How?

Explanation:

                            'o/-'=/] compare the input with each one of "o/-" characters
                                     / the result is a 3-row matrix /
                         1#.         add up each row to find the number of occurences
                                     of each character, the result is a vector of 3 items
                  1 1 2%~            divide the last item by 2 to find the number of 
                                     bodybuilder Jimmys
[:(              )                   use the result to construct the following vector:
               {:                    the last item
              ,                      appended to
         -/@}.                       the difference of the second and the third items
        ,                            appended to
   -/@}:                             the difference of the first and the second items

Retina, 39 35 bytes

Edit: -4 bytes thanks to @FryAmTheEggMan

^((o)|(/o.)|(/-o-.)| )*
$#2 $#3 $#4

Try it online!

Explanation:

A simple replace stage. It finds all matches of the regex ^((o)|(/o.)|(/-o-.)| )* (which should result in one match - the whole string) and replaces it by the number of captures of groups 2, 3, and 4. Here is the regex broken down:

^((o)|(/o.)|(/-o-.)| )*
^                               start at the beginning of the string
 (                       )*     have any amount of Jimmy / spaces
     |       |         |        select one of:
  (o)                           capturing group 2 - dwarf
      (/o.)                   capturing group 3 - acrobat
              (/-o-.)         capturing group 4 - bodybuilder

We have to start with ^ or the end of the input counts as a match too. In the substitution syntax of Retina, $n references the nth capturing group, and the modifier # counts how many matches it made.

I think this could be shorter, but I've hit a brick wall at this point.

At a high level, it counts the number of - (matched), / and o characters, then subtracts to remove duplicate counts before printing the results.

First is initializes counters to 0 on three different stacks.

0>0>0>

Then it reads the input onto the stack a codepoints, and loops over each character. The code also saved the current character to the backup cell with s so we can only count matched - characters.

i[ ...                                                sp]

The first check increments the counter on the first stack if it's - and the previous character was o. That works since the characters are processes in reverse order.

  '-=[pl'o=[p<1+>0]pp0]p

The second check increments the counter on the second stack anytime the code hits a / character.

                        '/=[p<<1+>>0]p

And the last check increments the counter on the third stack when the code finds a o character.

                                      'o=[p<<<1+>>>0]p

Once all the input has been scanned and counted, to code subtracts the number of matched - characters (bodybuilders) from the number of / characters to find the number of acrobats.

<s<l-

Then it remember the number of acrobats plus the number of bodybuilders by stashing the sum of the two in the backup cell.

     :l+sp

Then is subtracts that from the number of o characters to get the final counter and prints it.

          <l-u

The last bits just shift to the next counter and prints with a space appended. >' ou

And does the same shift/print to output the last counter.

                   >' ou
