In this challenge, submissions will be programs or function which, when given an emoticon such as :-), :(, or :D, will rate their happiness from 0 to 3.

An emoticon will be one of the following:

  • :(: 0
  • :|: 1
  • :): 2
  • :D: 3

Emoticons may also have noses (a - after the :).

Test cases:

:(  -> 0
:-| -> 1
:D  -> 3
:-) -> 2
:|  -> 1

This is a code golf challenge, shortest answer per language wins.

I overlooked the rule about the optional nose, so this is not as effective as expected.

f(char*s){s=390%~-s[*++s%9<1]&3;}

Try it online!

How?

Among the characters that we have to deal with, the hyphen is the only one whose ASCII code is congruent to \$0\$ modulo \$9\$. We use this property to decide whether we need to work on the second or the third character.

Given the ASCII code \$n\$ of the relevant smiley character, we apply the following formula to get the happiness:

$$h(n)=(390\bmod (n-1))\bmod 4$$

Using Uriel's formula is 1 byte shorter.

tr '(|)D:-' 0-3\ 

Try it online!

Note: There's a space character after the backslash.

Input on stdin, output on stdout.

The challenge doesn't specify the format of the output. Depending on the input, this program may print the output in either %2d or %3d format (that is, with one or two spaces before the 0, 1, 2, or 3).

If that's not acceptable, then

tr -s '(|)D:-' 0-3\

(20 bytes) always prints the digit in %2d format. (There's a space after the backslash here too.)

Or

tr '(|)D:-' 0-4|tr -d 4

(23 bytes) prints just the digit (with no spaces).

The only major thing I feel I need to point out is how I got 160 in the program. To do this, I took the first letter of Paddington, which gives an ASCII value of 80 when run through Charing Cross, then multiplied it by 2 in Chalfont & Latimer to get 160. Subsequently, the program computes 160 % (ASCII of last character) % 7 via Preston Road, the formula found by @dingledooper.
