| Apr 6, 2021 at 1:45 | comment | added | Deadcode | To get even more the the core of the issue, I actually do think the divmod ban could have been really interesting in and of itself, but only if the question required people to show both the with-divmod and without-divmod versions side by side, so the ban's effect could really be appreciated by people not familiar with the language. But as it is, I feel it's a blemish on the question, like how Is it a completely even number? is the closest thing to a Powers of 2 question on the whole site, but it isn't one. | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 1:05 | comment | added | Deadcode | To elaborate, I think answers to questions like this in languages designed for short golf aren't going to be too interesting anyway, divmod ban or not. What those answers can serve is to give a feel for what the languages are like / capable of. This is a question begging for answers like the BitCycle, brainfuck/flak, OIL, and regex ones. Languages with no modulo builtin, or no division, or even no arithmetic. If some answers are more interesting from the divmod ban, it should've happened in a different question asking for 2 related functions that no language is likely to have a built-in. | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 0:34 | comment | added | Leo | That's an interesting point of debate, I would still rather see less straightforward solutions but I can understand why you can argue about allowing single-builtin solutions. In any case, this challenge is definitely too old and with too many answers to change the rules now, but you can always post an answer respecting the rules stated in the challenge and add a "if divmod builtins were allowed" extra section to your answer. Posting the single builtin alone as a separate answer would still be against the rules, though. | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 0:25 | comment | added | Deadcode | @Leo I want questions like this to serve as a "library" showing how various languages golf a particular iconic/common calculation. To me the builtin of any language that has one is the most interesting answer, because it shows what that language is capable of. Every single language that has such a builtin is an example of this, with no exceptions. Answers that are handicapped by the "no divmod" rule are completely uninteresting to me. Also, P.S.: in my previous comment, where I said "allow", I actually meant "encourage". | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 0:15 | comment | added | Leo | @Deadcode my reason for banning divmod builtins is that in many languages the shortest answer would be just the builtin itself, which I would describe as a very uninteresting answer rather than a "best golf". Did you have any example language in particular where the divmod builtin would result in an interesting answer? | |
| Apr 5, 2021 at 23:26 | comment | added | Deadcode | This challenge's rule about not using divmod builtins is horrible. Maybe the challenge's author didn't want them used, but I would much rather see each language's truly best-golfed form of division and modulo. At this point it's too late to simply remove that rule since dozens of answers took it into account, but how about editing the challenge to allow you to submit two answers, one that uses a builtin if available and one that doesn't? | |

@AlbertRenshaw 0<=a<=255, 1<=b<=255, it's right there in the Input/Output rules ;)

| Apr 11, 2017 at 20:38 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw |
I'd recommend adding that input will always be positive. Negative modulo is arbitrary in many languages, some return remainder while others return inverse-remainder (or x-rem). For example in C (-5)%(3) is -2 whereas on Wolfram|Alpha (-5)%(3) is 1. There is no defined standard.

If it helps, when I run it, I get "[Error] Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: QBasic (<a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0R1Jgqp8Gg4UVliSTE0MzdLcEU" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Get it here</a>) 4.5".

Unfortunately, the BF algorithm doesn't work if the divisor is 1.

| Mar 27, 2017 at 13:45 | comment | added | Leo | @EriktheOutgolfer if you know that they need to be reversed you have no problem in distinguishing them :) | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 13:32 | comment | added | Erik the Outgolfer | @Emigna Yeah, I was not sure if reversing didn't make them indistinguishable though. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 13:30 | comment | added | Emigna |
@EriktheOutgolfer: You may choose any format you like for both input and output, as long as the two numbers are clearly distinguishable

Can I reverse the arguments, i.e. instead of providing a b providing b a instead?
