Disclaimer: This challenge inspired by me trying to find pairs in a large pile of socks.

Disclaimer: This is looking for a very different process and output to Help me sort my socks!. Please don't claim it as a duplicate until you've read both ;)


So, I have a huge pile of socks. Of course I keep them categorized by compatibility number. Compatible socks, which I can wear together, have the same number. (Of course, every programmer does this).

My super-convenient plot device quickly scans the pile and outputs an array of compatibility numbers for the pile. It looks a bit like this:

[2, 3, 3, 6, 0, 4, 9, 1, 6, 7, 11, 3, 13, 3, 
5, 12, 2, 1, 10, 2, 1, 11, 2, 13, 12, 10, 1, 
7, 0, 0, 12, 12, 6, 2, 13, 6, 10, 0, 0, 12, 
5, 0, 2, 3, 4, 0, 5, 8, 1, 6, 9, 7, 10, 14, 
10, 8, 3, 8, 9, 8, 5, 11, 7, 9, 9, 9, 7, 14, 
4, 2, 8, 14, 3, 11, 12, 14, 7, 13, 11, 13, 4, 
7, 5, 12, 3, 1, 12, 4, 5, 13, 2, 13, 2, 14, 1, 
13, 11, 1, 4, 8]

That's good data, but it's about as much use to me as scanning the pile myself by eye. What I want to know is how many compatible pairs I need to look for, and which are going to be 'odds', which I can discard for now.

In the above example, I am looking for these pairs of socks:

{3=>4, 6=>2, 2=>4, 1=>4, 11=>3, 13=>4, 12=>4, 10=>2, 7=>3, 0=>3, 5=>3, 4=>3, 9=>3, 8=>3, 14=>2}

(4 pairs of number 3, 2 pairs of number 6 etc.)

And these numbers will have 'odd ones out'. When I've found all the pairs for these, I can discard the last one.

[0, 6, 10, 7, 2, 14] 

The challenge

  • Convert a list of compatible numbers to a count of pairs for each number and an array of 'odds'.
    • The pairs will be composed of a data structure (hash, or other) showing how many pairs can be made of each compatibility number (can be skipped if no pairs can be made).
    • The odds will be composed of a list of numbers which occur and odd number of times in the array.
  • The order of the outputs is not significant.
  • The size of my sock pile can, of course, be arbitrarily large.

The Rules

  • It's golf, make it short.
  • No standard loopholes.
  • Use any language you like.
  • Please include a link to an online interpreter.

Test Cases

Input: [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5]

Output:

Pairs: {2=>1, 3=>1, 4=>2, 5=>2}

Odds: [1, 3, 5]


Input: [2, 3, 3, 6, 0, 4, 9, 1, 6, 7, 11, 3, 13, 3, 5, 12, 2, 1, 10, 2, 1, 11, 2, 13, 12, 10, 1, 7, 0, 0, 12, 12, 6, 2, 13, 6, 10, 0, 0, 12, 5, 0, 2, 3, 4, 0, 5, 8, 1, 6, 9, 7, 10, 14, 10, 8, 3, 8, 9, 8, 5, 11, 7, 9, 9, 9, 7, 14, 4, 2, 8, 14, 3, 11, 12, 14, 7, 13, 11, 13, 4, 7, 5, 12, 3, 1, 12, 4, 5, 13, 2, 13, 2, 14, 1, 13, 11, 1, 4, 8]

Output:

Pairs: {3=>4, 6=>2, 2=>4, 1=>4, 11=>3, 13=>4, 12=>4, 10=>2, 7=>3, 0=>3, 5=>3, 4=>3, 9=>3, 8=>3, 14=>2}

Odds: [0, 6, 10, 7, 2, 14]


Input: [1, 2, 1, 2]

Output:

Pairs: {1=>1, 2=>1}

Odds: []


Input: [1,2,3]

Output:

Pairs {}

Odds: [1,2,3]


Input: []

Output:

Pairs: {}

Odds: []

Output is a list where pairs are tuples, (a, b) rather than a => b, and odds are not part of a tuple.

There's a sub-70 in here somewhere just staring at me, I can feel it...

You can save a few bytes but output extra garbage at the beginning by moving the is var b expression to an extra item in the resulting tuple. Pastebin link to TIO link: pastebin.com/fEPSK11V .

Outputs a list, with tuples (a, b) indicating pair counts and solitary elements indicating left over socks.

Interestingly, the hash function on integers seems to be the identity function, and so the output is conveniently ordered [(0, count of 0 pairs), 0 if 0 has odd count, (1, count of 1 pairs), 1 if 1 has odd count, ... as long as a contiguous sequence of numbers starting at 0 is used for sock indicators.

but if it not be "codegolf" i would write for question of readability this 93 bytes code:

because ({0≠⌊2÷⍨⍵c a}¨b)/b or exprestion as that has to be idiomatic... g(f¨b)/b traslate the math set {g(x):x∊b∧f(x)}.

2 3 4 5!1 1 2 2
1 3 5
// this is how a dictionary looks in the repl

C (gcc), 155 154 151 bytes

Thanks to ceilingcat for the suggestion.

I use -1 as the sentinel value for the list. First, I count the length of the input list, then I increment a count array at the index pointed into from the input. Lastly, I print the pairs in type:number of pairs format, then any singles remaining.

I initialize c to zero even though it's a global because it won't necessarily be zero at the end of the function and I need to have it set correctly at the start of the function. I also use a dynamically-allocated count array so that it will be zero-initialized.

d,c,*a;f(int*i){for(c=0;~i[c++];);for(a=calloc(d=c,4);d--;a[i[d]]++);for(d=c;d--;)a[d]&&printf("%d:%d\t",d,a[d]/2);for(;c--;)a[c]%2&&printf("%d\t",c);}

-3 bytes by testing set difference in arithmetic mode instead, -4 bytes by using local instead of typeset

local -A p
for x;a=(${a:#$x} ${x:|a})&&((${#x:|a}&&++p[$x]))
local p

Try it online! Try it online!

The expansion a=(${a:#$x} ${x:|a}) puts $x in $a if it isn't there, and takes it out if it is. Then we check if $x just got removed, and increment our pair count if it was.


With a looser definition of "list", we can shave this quite a bit.

≔⦃⦄ηFθ«F¬№υι«⊞υι§≔ηι⁰»§≔ηι⊕§ηι»IEυ⟦ι÷§ηι²⟧IΦυ﹪§ηι²

Try it online! Unfortunately I don't know how to get the deverbosifier to output ⦃⦄ (I just get «» when I try). Explanation:

≔⦃⦄η

Initialise a dictionary.

Fθ«

Loop over the socks.

F¬№υι

Test whether the compatibility number has been seen before. (Sadly Charcoal has no functions for determining dictionary keys, so I have to use a parallel list.)

«⊞υι§≔ηι⁰»

If it hasn't been seen then push the number to the list and zero out its dictionary entry.

§≔ηι⊕§ηι»

Increment the dictionary entry.

IEυ⟦ι÷§ηι²⟧

Output the number of pairs for each compatibility number. The compatibility number and number of pairs are output on separate lines, with each pair of numbers double-spaced.

IΦυ﹪§ηι²

Output those compatibility numbers with odd socks, each on their own line.

52 bytes for a deverbosifier-friendly version:

Fθ«≔Φυ⁼ι§κ⁰η¿η≔⊟ηη«≔⟦ι⁰⟧η⊞υη»UMη⁺κλ»IEυEι÷λ⊕μIΦυ﹪⊟ι²

Try it online! Link is to verbose version of code. Outputs the odd sock compatibility numbers double-spaced.

56 bytes for the original (IMHO better) condition that disallows printing zero pairs of socks:

Fθ«≔Φυ⁼ι§κ⁰η¿η≔⊟ηη«≔⟦ι⁰⟧η⊞υη»UMη⁺κλ»IΦEυEι÷λ⊕μ§ι¹IΦυ﹪⊟ι²

Try it online! Link is to verbose version of code.

Would be 43 bytes if Charcoal supported dictionary iteration:

Better solution that pairs list of first elements with list of lengths/2 using í instead of â.

Japt -Q, 14 16 bytes

ü
lu mÎuUËâDÊz h

Try it

output [sock , pairs num] list followed by odd socks.

ü            // sort and group input and save it
lu mÎ        // first element of groups of odd length
     u       // perpended by..

        â    // unique elements
         DÊz h // concatenated to half of the length to string 

Thanks to @Shaggy for finding a bug. Unfortunately using â(x?) => x is concatenated before returning unique elements , so it failed with [2,2,2,2] case. Fixed by using h method which returns a string.

Try it online!

Function that takes list as argument and returns hashtable representing pairs and list of ones without match using Lua "multireturn".

Note: if there is only one sock of some color (poor guy), it still will go in pairs list with zero pairs. If this is not up to spec, please tell me (it will cost a bunch of bytes but is easily doable).

I personally consider return to be required, but results are also stored in globals p and o, so it in fact can be omitted.

As suggested by JoKing this can be substantially shortend to:

c=Hash.new(0)
ARGV.each{|s|c[s.to_i]+=1}
c.each{|k,v|p k if(p"#{k}=>#{v/2}"if v>1)&&v%2>0}

Try it online!

Old version:

Ruby, 139 bytes

c=Hash.new(0)
ARGV[0].split(",").map(&:to_i).each{|s|c[s]+=1}
o = []
c.each{|k,v|o<<k if v.odd?}
c.each{|k,v|o<<"#{k}=>#{v/2}" if v!=1}
p o
