# Can this container hold this much liquid?

### Challenge Synopsis

As you most likely know, liquids have an indefinite shape and a definite volume. As such, they always take the shape of their container. They cannot, however, expand to fill their container.

Your job today is to determine whether or not a certain amount of liquid (represented by a certain number of L characters or numbers representing the volume of the part, as per suggestion) can fit into a container of a certain size (represented by a matrix of C characters) with some amount of empty space (represented by space characters) within it. The container will always have C characters all the way around the perimeter.

Your program will return a truthy/falsey value based on whether the liquid will fit into the container. It will only fit if there is an area of connected empty space (made up of spaces adjacent to one another horizontally, diagonally, or vertically) within the container for each part of the liquid that is separated from the rest (either by a space or by two newline characters).

### Rules

• This is , so the shortest answer in bytes wins.
• Standard loopholes are disallowed.
• I'd suggest adding a test case like L\n\nL, CCCCC\nCCCCC\nC..CC\nCCCCC (. represents a space, \n represents a newline). – Erik the Outgolfer Feb 21 '19 at 19:52
• May we take the L text as a list of volumes (i.e. a list of the number of Ls in each amount)? Since parsing for spaces and double newlines seems unrelated to the core of the challenge. Also may we take the C text as a matrix of two distinct values instead for the same reason? – Jonathan Allan Feb 21 '19 at 19:59
• Suggested test case 3 L and one LL with spaces of size 3 and 2 (an algorithm only filling smallest spaces first with smallest pieces of liquid still to use will yield Falsey). Maybe the same but with 2 L and one LLL too, to cater for the other direction. – Jonathan Allan Feb 21 '19 at 20:09
• This question seems to be 3 distinct questions to me. The first one is parsing input L to a list of integer. The second one is parsing input C matrix to a list of integer. And the third one is a determine question for given integer bag A and B, if there is a partition in A, when sum all integers in each partition to get a bag A', every n-th greatest number in A' is smaller (<=) than n-th greatest number in B'. – tsh Feb 22 '19 at 2:33
• I believe that the character form would be a prefered input format for Snails anyway. Generally loose IO requirements are preferred at PPCG, but it is certainly up to you. – Jonathan Allan Feb 22 '19 at 17:05

# Snails, 58 bytes

Input is taken exactly as in the examples.

t\ t\L{t\L?t\ z!.o=(\ ,\C},!(tz(\L!.!~|\ !.o=(\ ,\C},!(t\L


A 4 bytes longer version is fast enough to instantly complete the test cases (Try this version online):

?^
t\ t\L{t\L?t\ z!.o=(\ ,\C},!(tz(\L!.!~|\ !.o=(\ ,\C},!(t\L


An indented formatting of the latter:

?^
t\
t\L
{
t\L?
t\
z!.
o=(\ ,\C
},
!(tz(
\L!.!~
|
\ !.o=(\ ,\C
},
!(t\L

• Could you add an explanation to the indented version? Or are you still golfing it further before adding one? – Kevin Cruijssen Feb 22 '19 at 8:17
