Jul 3, 2019 at 22:37 comment added pommicket @KevinCruijssen I probably should have been more clear about that. The intermediate stages can't have input in any form. I guess if the program outputs the next one and then waits for input, that would be fine.

Jul 3, 2019 at 14:12 comment added Erik the Outgolfer I suspect that what we're asked to do is, given an integer n, output a program that is the "initial program" of an ouroboros quine of n iterations, and that our answer shouldn't count as one of the n iterations. Is this correct?

Jul 3, 2019 at 13:11 comment added Kevin Cruijssen Will the iteration versions still have the initial input? So let's say my first input is 3, and I run the program it output. Will there still be an input 3, or no input at all? If there is no input, I guess we need to handle that in case something like getInput() is used without any input provided. Or can we let's say input something random that's unused for later iterations, to prevent errors for the getInput()? A.k.a. is the current Python answer valid?

Jul 3, 2019 at 12:46 comment added Expired Data Can we 1 index n? So n = 1 means print source code, n = 2 means print code which will print source code etc.
