| Jul 10, 2014 at 13:02 | comment | added | CailinP | Please don't get hung up on what is and is not permitted. As stated above: No loops or goto, Functions cannot call themselves, Do whatever you want in the 'loop.' If you want to implement something and the rules don't explicitly say no to it, go ahead and do it. Many answers have already bent the rules. | |
| Jul 10, 2014 at 12:55 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | What is unclear hasn't changed since my first comment: what is permitted and what is forbidden. And there's no reasonable way to fix it without posting all the permitted answers in the question, which rather defeats the object. | |

| Jul 10, 2014 at 6:08 | comment | added | lrn |
What is unclear is the "definitions" of loop constructor and recursion. Neither are very precise. Example: rep(f){f();f();} - this is a statement (a function declaration is a statement in some languages) that allows executing code repeatedly. Is it disallowed. You ask for code to implement a loop. If that code is syntactically a statement, you have just disallowed it. Another example: f(b) { b(); g(b); }; g(b) { f(b); }. I'd say f is a recursive function (by being mutually recursive with g). Is it disallowed?

|
| Jul 10, 2014 at 5:59 | comment | added | lrn | The definition of "recursion" isn't very useful. It would be better to disallow recursive functions, which are functions that refer to themselves, directly or indirectly. | |

For those who want an easy trick, i can't be bothered posting it :P Just make 2 functions, function A calls function B and function B calls function A while 1 of the functions performs something. Since the function doesn't call itself it should be valid based on the criteria ^.^
