Your task is to output a representation of the legendary tree of life, Yggdrasil.

You must write a program whose output is exactly that :

                                      /**\

                                   |________|

There is no trailing whitespace. The final newline may be omitted.

To make checking easier, here are the md5 sums of the expected output:

  • 374899e56bc854d04639c43120642e37 - No newline at end.
  • 03afb81d960b8e130fe2f9e0906f0482 - Newline at end

Standard loopholes apply. This is code-golf, so the smallest entry in bytes win!

Haml & Sass

37 + 277 = 314

Haml:

%link(rel="stylesheet" href="s")
%pre

Sass:

pre:after{$l:"";@for$k from0 to10{@for$i from0 to4+$k{@for$j from0 to40-($k*6+$i*2)/2{$l:$l+' ';}$l:$l+'/';@for$j from0 to$k*6+$i*2{$l:$l+'*';}$l:$l+"\\\a ";}}@for$i from0 to12{@for$j from0 to35{$l:$l+" ";}@if$i<11{$l:$l+"|--------|\a ";}@else{$l:$l+"|________|";}}content:$l;}

*Sass allows control directives, concatenation, and variable dereference. All of which are useful when styling, but verbose while golfing.

Golfscript, 84 77 76 75 72 characters

Different approach from Howard's. Click on the character count to try it.

10,{.)4*,\3*>{.39\-' '*'/'@2*'*'*'\
'}/}/12,{' '35*'|'@11<'_-'1/=8*1$n}/

Thanks to Howard for saving 3 characters!

Explanation:

This is more or less a straightforward port of my Python solution. Taking some expressive liberties (using named variables instead of keeping track of stack positions, and print is really keeping things on the stack, not printing):

10,{...}/            # for i in range(10):
   .                 #    x = i
   )4*,              #    Y = range((i+1)*4)
   \3*               #    x *= 3
   >                 #    Y = Y[x:]  # y is now range(3*i, (i+1)*4)
   {...}/            #    for j in Y:
      .39\-          #        q = 39 - j
      ' '*           #        print ' '*q  # print right number of spaces
      '/'            #        print '/'
      @2*            #        j *= 2
      '*'*           #        print '*'*j
      '\<NEWLINE>'   #        print "\\\n"
12,{...}/            # for i in range(12):
    ' '35*           #    print ' '*35
    '|'              #    print '|'
    @11<             #    i = i < 11
    '_-'1/=          #    z = "_-"[i] # pick "-" if i < 11, else pick "_"
    8*               #    print z*8
    1$               #    print '|' # (copy from earlier in the stack)
    n                #    print "\n"

    \$\begingroup\$ You may use the same line-break trick as in my solution. Instead of '\\'n pull the newline into the string (+/- 0 characters) and now the backslash no longer needs to be escaped (-1 character). \$\endgroup\$

CJam, 62 bytes

    \$\begingroup\$ @Vi.: It's a mix of both. 1. CJam is stack based, so you usually get away without using any variables. 2. All built-ins' names are at most two characters long. Because of this, you don't need whitespace except for some special cases. 3. Even submissions in golfing languages don't golf themselves. My GolfScript/CJam programs are a lot shorter now than they used to be. \$\endgroup\$

Bash, 236 197 193

10 bytes of code + 1-byte filename + 182-byte data file = 193 bytes total

zcat y 2>j

Explanation

y is a file containing the Yggdrasil, without a trailing new line, compressed with the zopfli algorithm (invoked as zopfli --i64) and then with the last 8 bytes removed. zopfli is compatible with gzip, so I can decompress the file with standard Bash utilities designed for gzip. The size of the data file is 182 bytes (229 bytes when normal gzip is used). The size of the original Yggdrasil, without the trailing new line, is 5876 bytes.

The removal of the last 8 bytes causes error messages, which are suppressed by sending standard error to a file called j. If j exists, it will be overwritten.

The base64 of y is (use base64 -d to obtain the original file):

H4sIAAAAAAACA+3SMQoCURDA0N5TWC+IFxK8yD/8Nul9hfDRnamT6J+du83zdUPwOACNNDb0+3Bs

Edit I figured out how to alias a function with a variable and was able to chop off some more characters. That str_repeat function was really verbose

Edit 2: Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Golfed:

<?$s=str_repeat;for($i=-1;$i++<9;)for($j=$i*3;$j<4+$i*4;)echo$s(' ',39-$j).'/'.$s('**',$j++)."\\
";for($i=12;$i--;)echo$s(' ',35),'|'.$s($i?'-':'_',8)."|
";

Readable:

    <?

$s=str_repeat;

for($i=-1;$i++<9;)
{
    for($j=$i*3;$j<4+$i*4;)
    {
        echo$s(' ',39-$j).'/'.$s('**',$j++)."\\

for($i=12;$i--;)

Haskell, 153 148

Straight-forward, no tricks, just plain golfing:

(a:b:c)%n=(39-n)&' '++a:(2*n)&b++c
n#m=[n..m]++(n+3)#(m+4)
(&)=replicate
main=putStr$unlines$map("/*\\"%)(take 85$0#3)++map("|-|"%)(11&4)++["|_|"%4]

The % operator draws a single line, its first argument being a String of length 3 containing the borders and the fill characters in that line (now assuming exactly 3 Chars, saving 5 bytes), the second, an Int, specifies half the number of fill characters. Pattern matching, cons-ing and appending is used in combination in order to save bytes by taking care of the "glue" between Char and String. In this second version, I also made # infinite and introduced a take 85 to make it finite again (no bytes saved, unfortunately).

The # operator creates the sequence for the n argument to % required for the tree: [0..3], [3..7], ... concatenated.

& is just an infix shorthand for replicate, which occurs three times.

The tree is put together in the last line, the newlines are added by unlines.

        {i,12}
    ]

Not counting newlines. Mathematica skews the output, as it doesn't take the same width for a whitespace as for "*" and "/". But the result is correct.

My first golf.

Golfed:

Ungolfed:

class M {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int i=0,a,f=0;
        String s = "";
        for(;i++<11;){
            for(a=i*3-4;++a<i*4;a++){
                if(i>10){
                    a=4;
                    if(++f>12)break;
                }
                s+=s.format("%"+(40-a)+"s"+(a>0?"%0"+a+"d":"")+"%3$s",f>0?"|":"/", 0,f>0?"|":"\\").replace("0", f<1?"**":f>11?"__":"--")+"\n";

  • \$\begingroup\$ @EsolangingFruit It's close, but not exactly: <list>+<str> is not a valid operation, but I could just as easily use ["-"]*11+["_"]. I decided to define my own function to more accurately translate what Pyth is actually doing. \$\endgroup\$

C,194

This code is a hot mess and can definitely be golfed more. Still, it was an opportunity to try out a couple of things I've never done before: using a literal for a string of asterisks, and using the width specifier * with a string in printf.

i,j=5,k=5,n;
main(){
  char d[]={[0 ...77]=42,0};
  for(;i<85;i++)k--,j+=!k,k+=(j-1)*!k,n=39-i+(j-5)*(j-4)/2,printf("%*s/%s\\\n",n,"",d+n*2);
  for(;i<97;i++)printf("%*s|\n",44,i-96?"|--------":"|________");
}

Edit: Saved ~100 bytes by hard coding each character in a register and simply writing to the stack, then abusing the fact that MIPS doesn't have types so implicit word to ascii string is allowed.
Edit 2: removed duplicate stack alloc. (addi $sp -4) Oops!
Edit 3: in rewrite, accidently made the tree stump 1 character too short. (36 in stead of 35). Fixed.
Edit 4: -4 bytes by using $8 and $9 instead of $t0 and $t1. they mean the same thing, but $t0 is easier to read. unfortunately, all other t registers are the same length when written nicely ($t2 == $10, but both are 3 characters), so the rest are a wash. I could (in theory) use the remaining 'a' registers (5-7. print syscall uses 4), but afaik the behavior isn't defined when using syscall.
-1 Byte by setting t8 to 0 and branching on less than instead of on equal. also required me to reorder the add ops, which unfortunately made the execution time take a whopping 3 opcodes longer.

Not the best at MIPS, but after clearing my conscience of this in meta discussion, i'm submitting them. MIPS is not designed for this (no output, no for loops) but it's pretty fun to do this perhaps in spite of that.

Unfortunately, I haven't created a commented version for this new solution, but you can view the old version, with full documentation here

Feel free to take the credit and improve upon this answer if you can beat it - I'm probably missing a few optimizations here and there.

  • \$\begingroup\$ since this solution doesn't require .data, it's possible to convert to binary (compiled) and save a bunch of bytes. however, SPIM doesn't support it, so c'est la vie. \$\endgroup\$ Sep 4, 2019 at 0:29
  • \$\begingroup\$ Also, I'm not sure if the shorthand addi $sp -4 which is really addi $sp $sp -4 is from SPIM or MIPS in general, so if anyone else does, please let me know. \$\endgroup\$ Sep 4, 2019 at 1:16
