| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:50 | comment | added | Polynomial | If the newlines later become part of the output, they count towards the size of your code. | |
| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:49 | comment | added | a sad dude | > Also, I only see 14 newlines in your solution. ...and 30 "q"s, plus about 20 more saved by str_split. Which I could easily change to newlines (and newlines to "q"). Because newline is just a character like every other, why treat it differently? | |
| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:45 | comment | added | a sad dude | Oh, ok. Still, if, say, newlines in ruby/python are not counted, how about not counting semicolons in php? ) wouldn't it be simpler to just always count the bytes? | |
| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:36 | comment | added | Polynomial |
I'm talking about newlines that are part of code structure. You certainly can't ignore instances where you've used \n, or had newlines as part of the song's text. Also, I only see 14 newlines in your solution.
|
|
| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:32 | comment | added | a sad dude | Waaait a second. Newlines are not counted? If so, I can shave about 50 bytes off my solution with ease, so you might want to rethink that. | |

| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:28 | comment | added | Polynomial | @r.e.s. I just copied the value from his post, I didn't manually check the length. You're right, it's 554, not 556. I've updated the question to reflect this. | |
| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:23 | comment | added | r.e.s. | There seems to be some confusion about scoring wrt newlines ... You say "If your solution is ASCII, count the characters excluding newlines", so wouldn't that make Ed.H's solution score 554? (His solution has 556 bytes including a newline at the end of each of its two lines of code.) | |

| Jun 1, 2012 at 15:47 | comment | added | Polynomial | Lines of code is pointless, because in most languages you can just stick everything into one line. If your solution is ASCII, count the characters excluding newlines. If your solution is non-ASCII (i.e. it uses character encoding to shorten the result) you count the bytes. | |
| Jun 1, 2012 at 15:11 | comment | added | erikbstack | Maybe next time it would be more fun to define "shortest" as "minimum lines of code", "minimum number of characters" or something like this. When people start hacking away at character encoding level, then the result is just not readable so easily, thus destroying some degree of fun. | |
