| Jun 2, 2022 at 23:11 | comment | added | David Ljung Madison Stellar | This testcase "swallow chew swallow chew swallow vomit complain playwithfood -> 11" is wrong, the output is 110 because it does the vomit/complain/play loop as it walks back through 1s until 0, but it still does the vomit/complain/play on the 0 value and vomits that one as well. | |

Oops, please swallow once before running that program. But undefinedbehavior should not be in a testcase.

@CatsAreFluffy I think that chew swallow chew swallow vomit complain playwithfood is an infinite loop, because playwithfood would go back two instructions to vomit. And this would loop the sequence vomit complain playwithfood forever. The vomit instruction will keep decrementing the bit index forever, but it would be kept resetted to zero everytime that it tries to go to -1 (which is outside the bounds of the array). My interpreter loops forever on that keeping outputting 1s continuously forever.

spec attempt

| Apr 2, 2016 at 1:59 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | @CatsAreFluffy Probably because it is underspecified, which is sad but true. It doesn't says for example, what would happen if it branches to outside the instruction array (something that we both exploited for halting) nor it specified what would happen if an invalid instruction is given (a hole that both your answer and my new answer exploits for golfing). Also, it lacks test cases, which are very important to give confindence against possibly buggy interpreters. | |

Needs details or clarity | |
| Apr 2, 2016 at 1:08 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | You should specify what happens if unknown instructions are provided. My answer quits the program when they are found. CatsAreFluffy's answer may execute arbitrary existing instructions or just quit the program. | |

| Apr 1, 2016 at 22:48 | comment | added | Denker | Also you should really add some testscases, since this is not a very trivial task to solve and it's hard to say if a potential solution works correctly. But please note that testcases are not a replacement for a clear specification of the I/O formats which is definitely missing here. | |
| Apr 1, 2016 at 22:46 | comment | added | Denker | Hey Mason! It is nice that you want to contribute to this site, but writing a good challenge is not easy and also requires some experience. 2 of your 3 challenges got closed so far and this one might be put on hold for being unclear as well. I would really recommend that you use the sandbox in the future, so you can get feedback and work potential flaws out before you post your challenge to the main site. However, I hope you stick around and have a great time here! | |

| Apr 1, 2016 at 22:42 | comment | added | Riker | And do all the bits start at 0 or 1? | |
| Apr 1, 2016 at 22:40 | comment | added | Riker | How do we get the input? Can we take it as a list? | |
