# Match coordinates with their values

Given 3 input items, a list of coordinate pairs, a 2D string, and a single-character string, output whether the character at each coordinate of the 2D string is equal to the single character. You can take the input in any order and the coordinates may be 1-indexed.

You may take the 2D string as a 2D list, a list of lines, or a 2D string.

Example: (0,0), "#_\n__", "#" -> True

The string is

#_
__


The char at the coordinate (0,0) (from the top left) is #. This is equal to the third input item, #, so you output True (or any truthy value)

Example: [(0,0), (1,1)], "#_\n_#", "#" -> True

The string is

#_
_#


The characters at the coordinates of (0,0) and (1,1) are both #, so the output is true.

The output is only true iff every coordinate matches a hash. Not every hash has to have a matching coordinate though. If there are no occurrences of the single char (# in some of the test cases) in the 2D string, the output is still just falsy.

You can assume the coordinates will always be within the bounds of the 2D string.

More test cases: (I put the single char second for ease of readability)

[(0,0), (2,1), (3,0)], #

#_##
#_##

True

[(0,0), (1,1), (3,0)], #

#_##
#_##

False (1,1 is not a hash)

[(1,1)], a

#a##
#a##

True

[(4, 0), (3, 0), (2, 0), (1, 0), (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4, 2), (4, 3)], ' '

####
#
#

True


Note the last test case uses spaces as the single char string, and hashes around the spaces.

• Can we assume that input is a 2d array instead of using "\n"? – rahnema1 Jan 14 '17 at 15:54
• @rahnema1 not a 2D array, but an array/list of lines yes. – Rɪᴋᴇʀ Jan 14 '17 at 15:54
• @EasterlyIrk I believe this falls into the category Cumbersome I/O formats – JungHwan Min Jan 14 '17 at 16:06
• In your first example coordinates are in the format (row, column) but in the last example coordinates are in the format (column, row) . – rahnema1 Jan 14 '17 at 16:07
• Can the coordinates be 1-indexed? – Kritixi Lithos Jan 14 '17 at 16:14

# Dyalog APL, 8 bytes

Prompts for list of coordinate pairs (row,column), then 2D array, then character.

∧/⎕=⎕[⎕]


[⎕] prompt for coordinates and use them to scatter pick from

⎕ prompted input (2D array)

= compare the selected elements to

⎕ input (the character)

∧/ check if all are true (AND-reduction)

# Octave, 4538 29 bytes

@(A,B,C)A(1+B*[rows(A);1])==C


A function that takes a 2D array of chars as A and coordinates(0 based) B as a two column matrix of [col row] and the matching character as C. The two element coordinates(using matrix multiplication) converted to linear index.

Stewie Griffin for saving 5 bytes noting that [0 1 0] can be regarded as false value!!

Luis Mendo for saving 2 bytes that ~0 == true and notification about sparse matrix.

• Nice :) You can skip all and save three bytes. 1 1 1 is true, and 1 0 1 is false in Octave, so it should be OK. :) – Stewie Griffin Jan 14 '17 at 21:22
• Great approach! I like how this exploits the fact that logical indices need not have the same size as the indexed array – Luis Mendo Jan 15 '17 at 2:52
• In addition to Stewie's suggestion, you can replace true by ~0 to save 2 bytes – Luis Mendo Jan 15 '17 at 3:00
• @StewieGriffin Thanks it is really OK:) – rahnema1 Jan 15 '17 at 3:31
• @LuisMendo Good point – rahnema1 Jan 15 '17 at 3:31

# Mathematica, 28 bytes

#3~Extract~#~MatchQ~{#2...}&


1-indexed. Due to how arrays are structured in Mathematica, the input coordinates must be reversed (i.e. (row, column))

Usage

#3~Extract~#~MatchQ~{#2...}&[{{1, 1}, {2, 3}, {1, 4}}, "#", {{"#", "_", "#", "#"}, {"#", "_", "#", "#"}}]


True

s!c=all(\(x,y)->s!!y!!x==c)


Usage example: ( ["#_##","#_##"] ! '#' ) [(0,0), (2,1), (3,0)] -> True.

ịṪ⁸ịḢð€Q⁼⁵


This only works as a full program. Input order is indices, string array, singleton string.

Try it online!

### How it works

ịṪ⁸ịḢð€Q⁼⁵  Main link.
Left argument:  P (array of coordinate pairs)
Right argument: S (array of strings)
Third argument: C (singleton string)

ð€     Combine the links to the left into a dyadic chain and call it with each
p = (x, y) in P as left argument and S as the right one.
ị             Unindex; retrieve the strings of S at indices x and y.
Ṫ            Tail; yield s, the string of S at index y.
⁸ị          Unindex; retrieve the characters of s at indices x and y.
Ḣ         Head; yield the character of s at index x.
Q    Unique; deduplicate the resulting string/array of characters.
⁼⁵  Compare the result with the third argument.

->\c,\h,\n{all map {n eq h[.[0];.[1]]},c}


->$_,\h,\n{all .map:{n eq h[.[0];.[1]]}}  Expects the 2D string as a 2D list. Thanks to b2gills for -1 byte. • If you used $_ instead of \c you could use .map:{…} saving one byte – Brad Gilbert b2gills Jan 14 '17 at 21:10
• @BradGilbertb2gills: Oh, I didn't realize the space was optional in .map: {…}. That's useful to know. Also, it's a shame that prefix || isn't implemented yet, it could make the inner lambda simply n eq h[||\$_]... – smls Jan 15 '17 at 7:58

## C#, 80 77 bytes

Saved 3 bytes, thanks to pinkfloydx33

a=>b=>c=>{foreach(var i in a){if(b[i[0]][i[1]]!=c){return 1<0;}}return 1>0;};


a is the pairs of coordinate, b is the list of lines, and c is the single-character string.

• You can replace false with 1<0 and true with 1>0 and save 3 bytes. – pinkfloydx33 Jan 15 '17 at 9:16

c [] _ _ =1<2;c ((f,s):t) m n |n/=lines m!!s!!f=1>2|1>0=c t m n


Input of c [(0,0), (1,0), (3,0)] "#_##\n#_##" '#' Outputs False

Input c [(4, 0), (3, 0), (2, 0), (1, 0), (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4, 2), (4, 3)] " \n ####\n # \n # " ' '

Output True

UnGolfed

checkfunc :: [(Int,Int)] -> String -> Char -> Bool
checkfunc [] _ _ = True
checkfunc (x:xs) string char | char /= ((lines string)!!(snd x))!!(fst x)= False  -- Checks first coordinates and returns False if no match
| otherwise = checkfunc xs string char --Otherwise iterate over remaining coordinate pairs

• There is still unnecessary whitespace left: c[]_ _=1<2;c((f,s):t)m n|n/=lines m!!s!!f=1>2|1>0=c t m n – Laikoni Jan 15 '17 at 14:09
• Also as you are doing boolean logic, the implicit conditional if n/=lines m!!s!!f then False else c t m n can be replaced by n/=lines m!!s!!f&&c t m n. – Laikoni Jan 15 '17 at 14:13
• Finally, as the OP says You may take the 2D string as a 2D list, a list of lines, or a 2D string. you can drop the lines and directly take a list of lines as input. – Laikoni Jan 15 '17 at 14:19
