Influenced by Non-discriminating Programming, I made up an idea of a similar challenge.

Here, we say a string is a Lucas string if the number of appearances of each character is a Lucas number (2, 1, 3, 4, 7, ...), and a string is a Fibonacci string if the number of appearances of each character is a Fibonacci number (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...).

Here are some concrete examples:

"Programming Puzzles"
Appearance Count:   P a e g i l m n o r s u z
                  1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2

All counts are both Lucas numbers and Fibonacci numbers, so this is both a Lucas string and a Fibonacci String

"Sandbox for Proposed Challenges"
Appearance Count:   C P S a b d e f g h l n o p r s x
                  3 1 1 1 2 1 2 3 1 1 1 2 2 4 1 2 2 1

All counts are Lucas numbers, so this is a Lucas string. However the count of o is not a Fibonacci number, so this is not a Fibonacci string.

"Here are some concrete examples: "
Appearance Count:   : H a c e l m n o p r s t x
                  5 1 1 2 2 8 1 2 1 2 1 3 2 1 1

All counts are Fibonacci, so this is a Fibonacci string. However the counts of and e are not Lucas numbers, so this is not a Lucas string.

"Non-discriminating Programming"
Appearance Count:   - N P a c d g i m n o r s t
                  1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 5 3 4 2 3 1 1

Since count of i is not Lucas number, and count of n is not Fibonacci number, so this is neither a Lucas string nor a Fibonacci String.

Challenge

Write 2 programs, one Lucas program and one Fibonacci program, both accepting a string as input, that:

  • The Lucas program checks whether the input is Fibonacci; and
  • The Fibonacci program checks whether the input is Lucas,

where the definitions of "Lucas" and "Fibonacci" are as above.

Rules

  • Your programs can choose to receive input either from STDIN or as function/program argument.
  • Your programs must output or return one of the 2(TWO) distinct values at your choice, one for the truthy value and one for the falsy value, and the choice must be consistent across the programs, i.e. you cannot have one program returning 0/1 while the other one returning true/false.
  • Your programs must output or return a truthy value if the source of each other is inputted, i.e. your Lucas program must return a truthy value if the source of your Fibonacci program is inputted, and vice versa.
  • It is allowed to have program being both Lucas and Fibonacci.
  • Characters not used are apparently not counted, in case you doubt because 0 is not in the Lucas sequence.
  • Number of distinct characters in each program are not restricted to either Lucas or Fibonacci numbers.
  • Only full programs or functions allowed. Snippets are not accepted.
  • Standard loopholes are apparently forbidden.

Scoring

The score will be calculated as follows:

  • For each program, multiply the number of distinct characters used by the maximum number of appearances of the characters in the source.
  • Add the two values calculated in the previous step up. This is your score.

Example:

Lucas code :    20 distinct characters, MAX(appearance of each character)=7
Fibonacci code: 30 distinct characters, MAX(appearance of each character)=5
Score: 20*7 + 30*5 = 140 + 150 = 290

  • \$\begingroup\$ "Lucas and Fibonacci are IN pair (Fibonacci but not Lucas)" You've swapped the True and False in your table. \$\endgroup\$ Aug 24, 2018 at 8:00
  • \$\begingroup\$ @Mr.Xcoder I don't see anything stating that. Two programs where each characters is used once should be fine I think. But I'll let OP verify/deny that. \$\endgroup\$ Aug 24, 2018 at 8:01
  • \$\begingroup\$ @Mr.Xcoder Besides, in the Truthy/Falsey table the Lucas program as input in the Lucas program states: "True if all appearance counts are exactly 1, 2 or 3; False otherwise", and similar in the Fibonacci program and input columns. \$\endgroup\$ Aug 24, 2018 at 8:19
  • \$\begingroup\$ I see, but I think this should be clarified in the Rules section. I thought they ought to be mutually exclusively either Fib or Lucas. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Nice approach, but I'm afraid the Lucas program fail for single-char inputs because the list starts with [2,1,...]. So the Dā<Åg would be [2] with the count [1], returning in a falsey result. The Fibonacci program is perfect, though. :) \$\endgroup\$ Aug 24, 2018 at 8:40

Try it online (with the Fibonacci program as input).
Verify all test cases.

Fibonacci (9 8 bytes):

Outputs 1 for truthy and 0 for falsey results.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Mr.Xcoder I had the Fibonacci program as input in the Fibonacci TIO, and Lucas program in the Lucas TIO. Hence user71546 stated the test cases should be swapped. The "Both programs are both Lucas and Fibonacci tho ;)" part I read as: "Not that it matters that they are swapped, since both programs are both a Lucas and Fibonacci program anyway. ;)" As mentioned in my other comment, I don't see anything indicating the programs can't be both a Lucas AND Fibonacci program, similar as the test case "Programming Puzzles"..

Lucas Program:

ĠẈfƑJÆḞ$

Try it online! Or see all-tests.

Fibonacci Program:

ĠẈfƑJŻÆĿƊ

Try it online! Or see all-tests.

How?

Both work in very similar fashions -- ÆḞ gets the nth Fibonacci number while ÆĿ gets the nth lucas number. Ż adds a zero to the front of the list of n's to use with ÆĿ to cater for the fact that the 0th Lucas number is 2, which we need to test for while 0 is the 0th Fibonacci number, which we do not need to test for. Ɗ is a quick to chain the last three links together as a monad, while $ chains the last two links together as a monad...

Lucas Program:

ĠẈfƑJÆḞ$ - Link: list of characters, s
Ġ        - group indices by value
 Ẉ       - length of each
       $ - last two links as a monad (f(s))
    J    -   range of length of s
     ÆḞ  -   nth Fibonacci number (vectorises)
   Ƒ     - is left argument is equal to the result of?:
  f      -   filter - remove items from left that are not in right
         -            i.e. groupLengths without those Fibonacci numbers

Fibonacci Program:

ĠẈfƑJŻÆĿƊ - Link: list of characters, s
Ġ         - group indices by value

        Ɗ - last three links as a monad (f(s))
    J     -   range of length of s

Try it online.

Explanation (base) Lucas:

s->                     // Method with String parameter and boolean return-type
  s.chars()             //  Loop over the characters as integer-stream
   .map(c->             //  Map each of them to:

      int a=2,b=1,c=3;  //    Integer `a`,`b`,`c` starting at 2,1,3 (start of Lucas sequence)
      for(;n>c;         //    Loop as long as the current occurrence-counter is larger than `c`
          ;             //      After every iteration:
           a=b,         //       Replace `a` with `b`
           b=c)         //       Replace `b` with `c`
        c=a+b;          //     Replace `c` with `a` + `b`
      return            //    Return whether the occurrence-counter is one of:
             n>0&n<4    //     1,2,3,
             |n==c;})   //     or `c`

Explanation (base) Fibonacci:

s->                     // Method with String parameter and boolean return-type
  s.chars()             //  Loop over the characters as integer-stream
   .map(c->             //  Map each of them to:
      s.length()-s.replace(""+(char)c,"").length())
                        //   The occurrence-count of this character in the input
   .allMatch(n->{       //  Check if all these occurrence-counters are true for:
      int r=(int)Math.sqrt(n=5*n*n+4); 
                        //   Integer `r`, the square of `5*n*n+4` floored
      return r*r==k     //  Return whether `5*n*n+4` is a perfect square,
             |(r=(int)Math.sqrt(n-=8))*r==n;})
                        //  and/or if `5*n*n-4` is a perfect square

A number \$n\$ is a Fibonacci number, if either or both of \$5n^2+4\$ or \$5n^2-4\$ is a perfect square (source)

Explanation modifications:

After these base programs explained above, I've made the following changes:

  • Changed the names of variables to only use letters we've already used to reduce amount of distinct characters; and also so the least amount of characters have to be added at the comment to make the occurrence-counts Lucas/Fibonacci numbers;
  • Added parenthesis around the return-statement (to get rid of the space as well);
  • Put any remaining character we need to increase for it to become a Lucas/Fibonacci number after the trailing comment //.
