May 22, 2017 at 20:07 comment added Simply Beautiful Art Say, if my program prints 500b, is this invalid? That is, may we ignore all non-numeric things a program prints? And if so, would something like 50r7 count as 507?

Jan 10, 2014 at 0:19 comment added Andrew Cheong I think a better constraint instead of forbidding *, /, and ^, would've been to allow only linear operations, e.g. +, -, ++, --, +=, -=, etc. Otherwise, coders can take advantage of Knuth's up-arrow/Ackermann library functions if made available in their language of choice, which seems like cheating.
