Word's A and buttons change the font size according to these rules:

  1. The starting font size is 11.
  2. If is pressed when the font size is 1, the size stays 1.
  3. The font size changes with 1 point in the range 1 – 12.
  4. The font size changes with 2 points in the range 12 – 28.
  5. The choices are 28, 36, 48, 72, and 80 in the range 28 – 80.
  6. The font size changes with 10 points in the range 80 – 1630.
  7. The font size changes with 8 points in the range 1630 – 1638.
  8. If A is pressed when the font size is 1638, the size stays 1638.

Task

In as few bytes as possible, determine the resulting font size when given a set of button presses in any reasonable format.

Examples

[3,-1,2], meaning AAAAA: The result is 18.

Some possible formats are '^^^v^^', [1 1 1 -1 1 1], [True,True,True,False,True,True], ["+","+","+","-","+","+"], "‘‘‘’‘‘", "⛄️⛄️⛄️🌴⛄️⛄️", 111011, "CaB", etc...

[2]: 14

[-1]:10

[13]:80

[-11,1]: 2

[11,-1]: 36

[170,-1]: 1630

[2000,-2,100]: 1638

    \$\begingroup\$ Do we have to take the set of button presses in that exact format? For example, would some or all of these be fine as well: "^vvv^v^^^v", [-1, 1, 1, -1, 1, -1], [0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1]? \$\endgroup\$

Word VBA, 199 147 126 116 102 100 87 85 Bytes

Why emulate when you can do?!

Declared function in the ThisDocument module that takes input n in the form of Array(true,true,false,true) and outputs to the Word font size selector :P

Golfed:

Sub a(n):Set f=Content.Font:For Each i In n
If i Then f.Grow Else f.Shrink
Next:End Sub

Ungolfed:

Sub a(n)
    Set f=ThisDocument.Content.Font
    For Each i In n
        If i Then 
            f.Grow 
        Else 
            f.Shrink
        End if 
    Next
    ''  Implicitly output font size to MS Word Font Size Selector 
End Sub

Python 2, 111 107 bytes

i=10;r=range
for d in input():i+=d*(0<i+d<179)
print(r(1,12)+r(12,29,2)+[36,48,72]+r(80,1631,10)+[1638])[i]

Requires input to be in the [-1, 1, 1, -1, ...] format. It works with the examples for some bytes extra:

for d in input():i=min(max(0,i+d),179)

'$*H'       % Push this string
o           % Convert to double: gives ASCII codes, that is, [36 48 72]
8:163       % Push [8 9 ... 163]
10*         % Times 10: gives [80 90 ... 1630]
1638        % Push 1638
v           % Concatenate everything into a column vector
11          % Push 11
ih          % Input array and concatenate with 11
l180h       % Push [1 180]
&Ys         % Cumulative sum with limits 1 and 180
0)          % Get last value
)           % Index into column vector of font sizes. Implicitly display

Ruby, 106 bytes

I managed to shave a couple of bytes off the python solution (and it took a while of shaving).

->n{[*1..12,*(14..28).step(2),36,48,72,*(80..1630).step(10),1638][n.inject(11){|a,b|[0,179,a+b].sort[1]}]}

It's an anonymous function that takes the input in the form of [1, -1, 1, 1, ...]. It seems to deal quite well with input in the form [170,-12] as well, but I can't guarantee it will work 100% of the time, so I'll play it safe and say it works with [1, -1, 1, 1, ...].

Tricks I used:

  • [0,179,a+b].sort[1]: This clamps a+b to be between 0 and 179, which are the valid indexes of the font-size array.

  • Using the splat operator on ranges converts them into arrays, so the available font sizes is generated from [*1..12,*(14..28).step(2),36,48,72,*(80..1630).step(10),1638]. Which is a flat array containing the values from each of the flattened elements:

    • 1..12 is a range from 1 to 12 (inclusive). The splat operator turns it into the values 1, 2, 3, ..., 11, 12.
    • (14..28).step(2) is an enumerator for the given range, where each step goes up by 2. The splat operator turns it into the values 14, 16, 18, ..., 26, 28.
    • The individual values (36, 48, 72, 1638) are all concatenated in their position into the great font-size array.
  • I used the inject(/reduce) method, which uses each element of the input array, while reducing them down into a 'memo' variable (as ruby puts it). I initialise this to 11, and the body of each inject iteration is to set this memo variable to the result of adding the current element of the input to the current memo value, and then clamping it between 0 and 180.

All hail the splat operator!

PHP, 116 bytes

first generates the size index (from 1 to 180 inclusive),
then maps that to the point size and prints the result.

for($s=11;$d=$argv[++$i];$s=min($s+$d,180)?:1);echo$s>12?$s>20?$s>23?$s*10-160-2*($s>179):24+(12<<$s-21):$s*2-12:$s;

takes +N and -1 from command line arguments.
(-N is also accepted; just take care that the size does not hop below zero!)

Run with -nr.
