From Programming Puzzles to Code Golf

Question

Your task is to write a program that outputs the exact string Programming Puzzles (trailing newline optional), but when all spaces, tabs, and newlines are removed it outputs Code Golf (trailing newline optional.)

Your byte count is the count of the first program, with spaces still there.

Notes

• The spaces in Code Golf and Programming Puzzles will be removed as part of the removal, so plan accordingly.

• In encodings where 0x09, 0x0A and 0x20 aren't tabs, newlines or spaces respectively, those chars will be removed.

• If your code is

  42  $@ rw$
  @42
  

  then that must output Programming Puzzles. Also, in the same language,

  42$@rw$@42
  

  must output Code Golf.

This is code-golf, so the shortest code in bytes wins! Good luck!

“Ñ1ɦ+£)G“½ċṭ6 Ỵ»Ṃ

Try it online!

How it works

As in the other Jelly answer, Ñ1ɦ+£)G and ½ċṭ6Ỵ encode the strings Programming Puzzles and Code Golf. “ begins a string literal and separates one string form another, while » selects the kind of literal (dictionary-based compression), so this yields

["Programming Puzzles", "Code Golf"]

Ṃ then takes the minimum, yielding Code Golf.

However, by adding a space between ½ċṭ6 and Ỵ, we get a completely different second string, and the literal evaluates to

["Programming Puzzles", "caird coinheringaahing"]

Since caird coinheringaahing is lexicographically larger than Programming Puzzles, Ṃ selects the first string instead.

“½ċṭ6Ỵ»ḷ
“Ñ1ɦ+£)G»

Try it online!

Explanation

In the program as written, the first line is a helper function that's never run. The second line (the last in the program) is the main program, and is the compressed representation of the string "Programming Puzzles" (which is then printed implicitly).

If you remove the newline, the whole thing becomes one large program. “½ċṭ6Ỵ» is the compressed representation of the string "Code Golf". ḷ evaluates but ignores its right hand argument, leaving the same value as before it ran; it can be used to evaluate functions for their side effects (something I've done before now), but it can also be used, as here, to effectively comment out code.

Interestingly, the actual logic here is shorter than the 05AB1E entry, but the code as a whole comes out longer because the string compressor is less good at compressing these particular strings.

" ""Programming Puzzles""Dpef!Hpmg":(?

Try it online! or with spaces removed

Explanation

" "                    e# Push this string.
"Programming Puzzles"  e# Push "Programming Puzzles".
"Dpef!Hpmg":(          e# Push "Dpef!Hpmg" and decrement each char, giving "Code Golf".
?                      e# If the first string is true (non-empty) return the second string,
                       e#   else return the third.

Whether spaces are in the program or not determines if the first string is truthy or falsy.

Haskell, 48 bytes

a _="Programming Puzzles";a4="Code\32Golf";f=a 4
a_="ProgrammingPuzzles";a4="Code\32Golf";f=a4

Defines function f which returns the corresponding string.

For reference, the old version is:

Haskell, 49/47 bytes

f""="Code\32Golf";f(_)="Programming Puzzles";f" "

with spaces removed

f""="Code\32Golf";f(_)="ProgrammingPuzzles";f""

Two simple pattern matches. (_) matches all patterns. You can improve the without-spaces version by one byte by defining the second pattern as f" "=/f""=, but this gives a "Pattern match is redundant" warning.

Alternative solution with the same byte count:

last$"Code\32Golf":["Programming Puzzles"|" ">""]
last$"Code\32Golf":["ProgrammingPuzzles"|"">""]

Answer 10

Wolfram language, 62 bytes

"Programming Puzzles"[ToExpression@"\"Code\\.20Golf\""][[0 1]]

The space in [[0 1]] is implicit multiplication, so this is equivalent to [[0]]. Without a space, 01 is just 1. The 0th and 1st parts of this expression are the strings we want.

Another solution of questionable validity (44 bytes, 2 saved by Kelly Lowder):

"Programming Puzzles"["Code\.20Golf"][[0 1]]

The \.20 gets replaced by a space immediately when typed into a Mathematica environment, so it's not clear if it gets removed along with the other spaces…

Japt, 29 bytes

With spaces:

Try it online!

Without spaces:

`Co¸{S}Golf`r`PžgŸmÚÁPuzz¤s

Try it online!

---

This takes advantage of the fact that in Japt, a space closes a method call. With spaces, the code is roughly equivalent to this JavaScript code:

("Code"+(S)+"Golf").r(),"Programming Puzzles"

This is evaluated as JavaScript, and the result is sent to STDOUT. Since the last expression is "Programming Puzzles", that string is printed.

Without spaces, the code is roughly equivalent to:

("Code"+(S)+"Golf").r("ProgrammingPuzzles")

(If you haven't figured it out by now, the S variable is a single space.) The .r() method on a string, if given one argument, removes all instances of that argument from the string. Since "Code Golf" does not contain "ProgrammingPuzzles", it returns "Code Golf" unchanged, which is then sent to STDOUT.

/"floG!"t"edoC"#
 /"selzzuP gnimmargorP"d&o@

Try it online!

Without whitespace:

/"floG!"t"edoC"#/"selzzuPgnimmargorP"d&o@

Try it online!

Explanation

In the first program, the two mirrors / redirect the instruction pointer onto the second line. "selzzuP gnimmargorP" pushes the required code points in revere order, d pushes the stack depth and &o prints that many bytes. @ terminates the program.

Without the whitespace, the program is all on a single line. In that case, the instruction pointer can't move in Ordinal mode, so the / effectively become no-ops (technically, the IP simply doesn't move for one step, the same / gets executed again, and the IP reflects back to Cardinal mode). So if we drop those from the program, it looks like this:

"floG!"t"edoC"#"selzzuPgnimmargorP"d&o@

To include the space in Code Golf, we use an exclamation mark instead and decrement it with t. After we've got all the code points on the stack, # skips the next command, which is the entire second string. d&o then prints the stack again, and @ terminates the program.

Common Lisp (SBCL), 52 bytes

(format`,t"~[Programming Puzzles~;Code~@TGolf~]"0 1)

Prints Programming Puzzles

(format`,t"~[ProgrammingPuzzles~;Code~@TGolf~]"01)

Prints Code Golf

Ungolfed:

(format t "~[Programming Puzzles~;Code Golf~]" 0 1)

Explaination:

The trick basically comes from how #'format works in Common Lisp.

In CL, most whitespace can be omitted provided that there is no ambiguity about where tokens start or end. The first trick was separating the format and t symbols. I had to unambiguously end the format symbol without changing how t was interpreted. Luckily, ` in CL ends the preceding token before it gets processed, and , cancels the effect of ` (` is used to implement templating, where the next expression following it gets "quoted", but any sub-expression prefixed with a , is evaluated and the result included in the template, so `, is nearly a no-op).

The third argument to format is the template string. format is similar to printf in C, but has much more powerful formatting directives and use ~ to indicate them instead of %. ~[ and ~] allow you to select between multiple options for printing, with ~; separating them. An additional argument is supplied to format- the numeric index of which one you want printed. In order to ensure that the " " in Code Golf survives, I used the tabulation directive ~T, which is used to insert whitespace, generally to align text into columns. ~@T is a variation which just inserts a given number of spaces, defaulting to 1.

Finally, there are two arguments to format- 0 and 1. Before whitespace is removed, the 0 is used by ~[~;~] to select "Programming Puzzles" and the extra format argument (the 1) is dropped (I'm not sure how standard dropping extra format arguments is, but this works on Steel Bank Common Lisp). After whitespace is removed, there is only one argument (01) which selects "Code Golf" instead.

[ ] defines a string - Z measures its length. If the length is 19 then it contains a space and the macro stored in the m register is called, which prints Programming Puzzles and quits. Otherwise Code Golf is printed.

Thanks to BrianJ for showing me how to have no space between a method return type and the method name, PeterTaylor for saving 7 18 bytes, and Patrick Huizinga for saving 7 bytes.

Same method as everyone else really, technically this could be considered invalid because the method doesn't specify a return type for the method, but there has to be whitespace between the return type and the method name.
