# Return the flipped version of a number

When a number is shown on a calculator, it's possible to consider what various transformations of that number would look like. For example, on a seven-segment display, 2 is shown like this:

And when flipped horizontally it looks like this:

As such, the mirror image of 2 is 5.

The task in this challenge is to take a single-digit number, and return the number that's its mirror image (if possible). If its mirror image does not look like a number, return the number rotated 180 degrees (if possible). If neither of these are the case, return -1.

Here's the full list of inputs and outputs your program needs to handle:

Input   Output
0       0
1       -1
2       5
3       -1
4       -1
5       2
6       9
7       -1
8       8
9       6


As a challenge, the shortest code wins!

• I disagree with your last point -- a 1 on a 7 segment display would simply be flipped to the other side, so 1 should nap to 1. Jun 17 '14 at 17:40
• I am confused about how to flip each digit. If 2 becomes 5, then 6 should become backwards 9, not 9. But if 6 becomes 9, then the flip is just a rotation, so 2 becomes another 2, not 5. Jun 17 '14 at 18:41
• 6, 9 rotated 180 deg, 2, 5 flipped horizontally, and 1, 3 in fact are reflections of themselves across the vertical axis. Jun 17 '14 at 19:24
• The translations defined in the question are not consistent at all. Why do 2 and 5 flip, but 3 doesn't? Jun 17 '14 at 19:29
• I noticed a curious fact about the switchable numbers: they form opposite binary patterns, i.e. 2=010, 5=101. 6=0110, 9=1001. Can anyone use this fact in their solution? Jun 18 '14 at 12:01

Call main, and whatever character your input starts with gets used. Anything that isn't '0', '2', '5', '6', '8', or '9' prints "-1". Unfortunately show wraps characters in single quotes, so the output wouldn't have been consistent, so I had to use (:"") (or (:[])).

# Python3: 47

A very basic implementation, that accepts a input and translates accordingly.

print([0,-1,5,-1,-1,-1,9,-1,8,6][int(input())])


PEP8 is of course sacrificed for the sake of characters. This doesn't come close to rivaling the other Python solution near the top. However, as my first golf, I don't think it's that bad :).

• This could be written print[0,-1,5,-1,-1,-1,9,-1,8,6][input()] in Python 2. Also one could increase all the numbers by 1 to save one character. Jun 19 '14 at 16:58

((:'f(\(k n v)(? k(?(=(a k)n)(a v)(f(d k)n(d v)))'-1)))'(0 2 5 6 8 9)(r)'(0 5 2 9 8 6))


This assumes you start it by seeding one of the REPL supplied so the printing actually is done by Without a driver/REPL you need 3 chars extra:

(p((:'f(\(k n v)(? k(?(=(a k)n)(a v)(f(d k)n(d v)))'-1)))'(0 2 5 6 8 9)(r)'(0 5 2 9 8 6)))

Another question that I thought could be good for working on the language with...

R2,5,6,9,[1-7]}5,2,9,6,-1


### Explanation:

• R - map replace
• 2,5,7,9,[1-7]} - the searches. Since 2, 5, 6, and 9 are checked first, 1-7 can be used and will simply check if it's 1, 3, 4, or 7. 0 and 8 will therefore stay the same.
• 5,2,9,6,-1 - the replacements. So 2 is replaced by 5, 5 is replaced by 2, etc.
