Read infinitely from stdin, and convert every number to the corresponding symbol on a US qwerty keyboard.

No string or character literals anywhere are permitted.

E.g. if the input is 117758326, the output is !!&&%*#@^.

Letters and symbols that aren't on numbers are left alone; 11g2;;'1g2311hh21930 turns into !!g@;;'!g@#!!hh@!(#)

Shortest code, in bytes, wins.

For those who don't have a US qwerty keyboard, use the following as a guide:

1 -> !
2 -> @
3 -> #
4 -> $
5 -> %
6 -> ^
7 -> &
8 -> *
9 -> (
0 -> )

C, 90 bytes

The line between a character and an integer literal is a very fine one in C.

a[]={8,0,31,2,3,4,61,5,9,7};main(d){for(;~(d=getchar());)putchar(d>47&d<58?a[d-48]+33:d);}

Perl - 74 57 42

Update thanks to core1024's comment:

s/\d/chr 33+(8,0,31,2..4,61,5,9,7)[$&]/eg

Run with:

perl -p program_name.pl

Update thanks to manatwork's comment:

say s/\d/chr@{[8,0,31,2,3,4,61,5,9,7]}[$&]+33/erg while<>

Test with:

perl -E 'say s/\d/chr@{[8,0,31,2,3,4,61,5,9,7]}[$&]+33/erg while<>'

Old attempts:

say s/[1234567890]/chr qw(41 33 64 35 36 37 94 38 42 40)[$&]/erg while(<>)

Using qw counts as a string literal though.

Test:

perl -E 'say s/[1234567890]/chr qw(41 33 64 35 36 37 94 38 42 40)[$&]/erg while(<>)'

Another way: Perl 40 - I think this counts as a string literal as well.

say tr/1234567890/!@#$%^&*()/r while(<>)

Test with:

perl -E 'say tr/1234567890/!@#$%^&*()/r while(<>)'

  • \$\begingroup\$ As documentation describes qw// as “quote a list of words”, in my interpretation there you have 10 string literals. So I suggest to change it into array of integers (@{[41,33,…]} or something better) (no change in code size); leave off the parenthesis around the statement modifier's expression (2 characters shorter); subtract 33 from all character codes and add it separately (3 characters shorter); replace character class with \d wildcard (10 characters shorter): say s/\d/chr(@{[8,0,31,2,3,4,61,5,9,7]}[$&]+33)/erg while<>. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ You can use the -p flag to drop the while, say and the r RegEx modifier from your code. You can also save more bytes by using 33+(31,2..4,61)[] instead of @{[31,2,3,4,61]}[]+33. \$\endgroup\$

JavaScript (ES6) - 79 76 87

Edit - bloated out by 11 chars after it was pointed out that it failed the "non-numbers are left alone" rule (thanks @soktinpk)

Warning - you'll need to reload your browser after you run it since it's following the "Read infinitely from stdin" bit...

(f=x=>f(alert(+(p=prompt())+1?String.fromCharCode([8,0,31,2,3,4,61,5,9,7][p]+33):p)))()

Note that I've interpreted prompt as stdin & alert as stdout

Tested in Firefox console.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @soktinpk - on your first point, it loops indefinitely by recursively calling itself (it's an interpretation of how to indefinitely read from stdin in javascript... the implication of the question is that it should process each character as it comes in, which is effectively what I'm doing, via a prompt). Your second point is spot on though, I missed that... will have to revisit the code... \$\endgroup\$

W1sm?C+33@[8Z31 2 3 4 61 5tT7)vd}Cdr48 58dw

def f{println(readLine.map{c=>try{(Seq(8,0,31,2,3,4,61,5,9,7)(c.toInt-48)+33).toChar}catch{case _=>c}});f}

Pretty-printed:

pyg-i (68)

Here is a solution in pyg-i, a fork of pyg I created:

while 1:P(Ip().t(dict(Z(R(48,58),(41,33,64,35,36,37,94,38,42,40)))))

The python 3 equivalent would be this:

while 1:print(input().translate(dict(zip(range(48,58),(41,33,64,35,36,37,94,38,42,40)))))

Or, with a little cheating, it can be done in 50 bytes. Note that this is a bytes literal, not a string literal:

while 1:P(Ip().t(dict(Z(R(48,58),b"(!@#$%^&*("))))

CoffeeScript (70)

Update: This may be seen as reading between the lines, but while strings and characters aren't allowed, regexs are. (I just converted the regex to a string).

alert prompt().replace /\d/g, (t)->([]+/!@#$%^&*()/)[1...-1][(+t+9)%10]

Or (for infinite)

loop alert prompt().replace /\d/g, (t)->([]+/!@#$%^&*()/)[1...-1][(+t+9)%10]

The normal version (in case regex isn't allowed):

alert prompt().replace(/\d/g, (t) ->String.fromCharCode(([]+4133643536+3794384240).match(/\d{2}/g)[t]))

Test it out here.

But, according to the problem statement,

Read infinitely from stdin

That will probably hang your browser eventually, but here it is (just prepend loop, extra 5 bytes, to the code):

loop alert prompt().replace(/\d/g, (t) ->String.fromCharCode(([]+4133643536+3794384240).match(/\d{2}/g)[t]))

qA,s26063649909601297730 95b:cer

Try it at http://cjam.aditsu.net/

Explanation:

q reads the whole input
A, creates the array [0 1 ... 9] (A=10)
s converts to string, obtaining "0123456789"
95b converts the previous big number to an array of base-95 digits, which are the ASCII codes of the 10 symbols we want
:c converts the ASCII codes to characters, obtaining the string ")!@#$%^&*("
er transliterates "0123456789" to ")!@#$%^&*(" in the input string

(thanks to pseudonym117 for helping me shorten this significantly)
