ALERT: IN CASE YOU DOUBT, NO PUN ON "QUINE" IS INTENDED

In regulated horse-racing for gambling, bets called Quinella bets exist and in which a person bet on the first two places of a race. In racecourses, usually there is a display which shows the odds of a specific combination as below:

Challenge

Write a program or function, receiving either lines of strings or an array, print or return an ASCII Quinella table with the following format:

 QUINELLA  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |  8  |  9  | 10  | 11  | 12  | 13  | 14  |

     | 8\1 | 162 | 7.2 | 11  | 109 | 4.5 | 6.0 | 11  | 999 | 11  |     |     |     |     |  1

-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----
     |  8  |  9  | 10  | 11  | 12  | 13  |     |  8  |  9  | 10  | 11  | 12  | 13  | 14  |   

In this challenge, the numbers in the middle are calculated from the input by a specific algorithm, which will be explained later.

Specification

Input: Your program or function must receive one of the two formats as below:

  • Lines of Strings: The first line will be <number of horses> <number of bets>, following by <number of bets> lines of <horse 1> <horse 2> <amount of bet>.

Example:

10 100
1 2 100
3 4 500
5 6 100
7 8 2000
9 10 10
(... 95 more lines)
  • Array: An array or tuple, with 3 elements, [<number of horses>, <number of bets>, <bets>], where <bets> is a 2d array consisting of <number of bets> elements, each element consists of 3 elements, [<horse 1>, <horse 2>, <amount of bet>]. As a special rule for functions, passing the tuple as 3 arguments is allowed.

Example:

[10, 100, [
 [1, 2, 100],
 [3, 4, 500],
 [5, 6, 100],
 [7, 8, 2000],
 [9, 10, 10],
 ... 95 more elements
]]
  • You may assume all inputs are valid.

  • You may assume 1 <= <horse 1> < <horse 2> <= <number of horses> in both cases.

  • You may assume 9 <= <number of horses> <= 14 in both cases.

Processing: The odds for each quinella pair <horse 1>, <horse 2> (unordered, i.e. 1,2 and 2,1 are considered identical) is calculated as follows:

Odds = <Total bet amount of all pairs> / <Total bet amount of the pair> / 2
Maximum Odds: 999, Minimum Odds: 1.1

In case you doubt, the odds will be 999 if <Total bet amount of the pair> == 0.

The result should be rounded to the nearest 0.1 if Odds < 9.95 (in this case, the .0 must be retained if necessary), and to the nearest integer if Odds >= 9.95.

Output: Replace each bold-and-italic number pair with the corresponding odds calculated in the previous step. Leave the cell blank if any of the number in the pair is larger than <number of horses>.

  • Each cell is 5 characters wide.
  • You must center the odds, and if you cannot balance the margins, make left margin 1 character less wider than right margin.

Test Cases

Here is a TIO driver which generates random test cases. No hard-coded test cases will be provided.

Winning Criteria

Shortest code in each language wins as per the rules of code-golf challenges. No standard loopholes allowed.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I take it that 9 <= number of horses <= 14 based on the test generator, and the output format? Additionally, is input in the form of a tuple (number of horses, number of bets, [array of bets]) acceptable? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Οurous I think yes. I'll modify to clarify this. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 7, 2018 at 8:11
  • \$\begingroup\$ Can the three-element sub-arrays be taken as tuples? And may the bet values be taken as floats-with-integer-value instead of integers? Eg: [[Int]] becomes [(Int,Int,Real)] \$\endgroup\$

How?

Main part

n => b =>                       // n = number of horses; b[] = bet array
  ' QUINELLA  ' + (             // append header
    y = e = '',                 // e is the empty string; start with y = '', coerced to 0
    F = x =>                    // F = main recursive function, taking x
      y > 16 ?                  //   if y is greater than 16:
        e                       //     return an empty string and stop recursion
      :                         //   else:
        `|+\n`[x ? y & 1 : 2]   //     append a linefeed if we are at the beginning of a row
        + (                     //     or either '|' or '+' depending on the parity of y
          Y = y / 2,            //     define Y = y / 2
          s =                   //     define s:
            y & 1 ?             //       if y is odd:
              '-----'           //         s = 5 hyphens
            :                   //       else:
              [cell content]    //         s is set to the content of the cell
        )                       //
        .padStart(s[2] ? 4 : 3) //   prepend leading spaces
        .padEnd(5) +            //   append trailing spaces
        F(++x < 16 ? x : !++y)  //   append the result of a recursive call
  )(2)                          // initial call to F() with x = 2

Cell content

The cell content is computed with a huge cascade of ternary operators, which is neither easy nor very interesting to detail here.

One key part in there is the formatting of a bet:

~g(                             // invoke g():
  x > Y ? Y : x + 7,            //   first horse
  x > Y ? x : Y + 7             //   second horse
) ?                             // if g() didn't return -1:
  (k = .5 / k * g())            //   compute amount_of_all_pairs / amount_of_this_pair / 2
  < 999 ?                       //   if the result is less than 999:
    k.toFixed(k < 9.95)         //     output it with the proper number of decimal places
  :                             //   else:
    999                         //     force result to 999
:                               // else:
  e                             //   output an empty cell

Bet amount processing

The helper function \$g\$ computes the total bet amount for a given pair of horses, or the total bet amount of all pairs when invoked with no argument. If at least one of the horses is not valid, it returns \$-1\$ instead.

g = (x, y) =>                   // x = 1st horse, y = 2nd horse
  b.map(([X, Y, b]) =>          // for each bet of amount b on horses (X, Y):
    k +=                        //   update k:
      X - x | Y - y ?           //     if (x, y) is not matching (X, Y):
        0                       //       add 0 to k
      :                         //     else:
        b,                      //       add b to k
    k = -(x > n | y > n)        //   start with k = 0 if both x and y are valid horses
                                //   otherwise, start with k = -1
  ) | k                         // end of map(); return k
