Biplex: an important useless operator

Input

• A list of between 1 and 255 positive integers (inclusive), each in the range 1 to 232 - 1 (inclusive).
• Your input format does not need to be identical to the test cases.
• Input without leading zeroes is required to be accepted.
• Input with leading zeroes is not required to be accepted.
• You may use whatever delimiter you wish between the integers.
• An integer may be represented by a string but the individual digits of a specific integer must be contiguous.
• You may choose to use any base for the input (including binary and unary), provided the output is also in that base.

Output

• A single integer.
• The output must have no leading zeroes.
• The output must be in the same base as the input.
• The output can be calculated in whatever way you wish but must match the result of the following calculation:

Calculating biplex

• The bits of a binary representation are numbered from the right starting from zero, so bit i is in the column representing 2i.
• The i th bitsum is the sum of the i th bits of the binary representations of each of the input numbers.
• The bitsum maximum is the highest value taken by the bitsums.
• The bitsum minimum is the lowest non-zero value taken by the bitsums.
• The i th digit of the binary representation of the output is:
• 1 if the i th bitsum is equal to the bitsum maximum or the bitsum minimum.
• 0 otherwise.

Worked example

This example uses binary for input and output.

Input:    100110
1101110
1100101
_______
Bitsums: 2301321

Output:   101101


The bitsum maximum is 3 and the bitsum minimum is 1, so the output has 1s everywhere that the bitsum is 3 or 1, and 0s everywhere else.

Test cases

Test cases are in the form:

Input => Output


The test cases in binary:

[1] => 1
[10] => 10
[1, 10, 101] => 111
[11111111111111111111111111111111] => 11111111111111111111111111111111
[10010010010010010010010010010010, 10101010101010101010101010101010, 11011011011011011011011011011011] => 11100011100011100011100011100011
[10001011100010100110100101001001, 10110000111110010000111110111010, 1101110001101101011010010100101, 1010101010001011101001001010101] => 11


The same test cases in decimal:

[1] => 1
[2] => 2
[1, 2, 5] => 7
[4294967295] => 4294967295
[2454267026, 2863311530, 3681400539] => 3817748707
[2341103945, 2969112506, 1849078949, 1430639189] => 3

The operator was named biplex, short for binary plane extrema, following discussion in chat.

• Can we require the input to be in binary, as in the example? – feersum Nov 3 '15 at 13:52
• @feersum You may choose to use any base for input and output (including binary and unary), provided they are both in the same base. So yes, go for it :) – trichoplax Nov 3 '15 at 14:02
• Can we use notation like [[1,0,1],[1,1,0,0],[1,0,0,1]]? – Xwtek Nov 4 '15 at 10:28
• Probably not. Assume the most restrictive one. – Xwtek Nov 4 '15 at 10:35
• @ChristianIrwan The input should be in the form of integers (each made up of contiguous digits). An integer can be represented as a string but there should be no separators between the digits. – trichoplax Nov 4 '15 at 10:43

How it works

                 &.    Dual. Apply the verb to the right, the verb to the left,
and finally the inverse of the verb to the right.
#:  Convert the input list from integer to base 2.
(            @)      Define an adverb, i.e., an operator that takes a verb as
its left argument.
+/                     Call it with "reduce by sum". This calculates the sum of
the corresponding binary digits of all integers before
executing the remainder of the adverb's body, i.e, this:
#~          Replicate the sum N a total of N times, i.e., turn
0 1 2 3 into 1 2 2 3 3 3. This eliminates zeroes.
<./@            Calculate the minimum of the result.
>./                 Calculate the maximum of the sums.
,                Append; wrap both extrema into a list.
e.                    Check if each of the sums is in the list of extrema.
This yields 1 if yes and 0 if no.
(from &.) Convert from base 2 to integer.

The crux of it is that the array feature is heavily used (a A) to store the bitsums, of which the minimum and maximum are found, then 1s and 0s are outputted appropriately, with dumping of leading 0s in two places.

Explanation

Still a work in progress, but a slow one. For lack of time, I've just copied the notes I made whilst writing this program, which will suffice for an explanation for now:

[Biplex Calculator]

[

Bitsum writing philosophy:

Start with [0 255 255 255 ...].
The 255s will be markers that we can 'search' for to get back to the start.
After that, the next byte should be a 0, fairly permanently. (The first reference 0)
It is useful to have 0-bytes handy for general calculations.
The next byte is where we will read the first digit of any binary number. (The first read)
The next byte holds the first bitsum.
Afterward, the next byte is 0, the following byte is the place
to read the second binary digit, the following byte is the second bitsum,
and so on.
I'll use the terminology nth reference 0, nth read, and nth bitsum to refer to
each part of the triplet of bytes.

The location three places after the final bitsum will be 255,
and the location three places after the final read will be 255.
We can move entire numbers by lining up these 255s after every binary number.

q~2fbWf%:.+_0-(\W>|fe=W%2b  Takes input as a base-10 CJam-style list. Test it here. Alternatively, run all test cases (the script discards the expected output and converts the input format as necessary). Explanation q~ e# Read and evaluate input. 2fb e# Convert each number to base 2. Wf% e# Reverse each digit list, to align digits in case there are numbers with different e# widths. :.+ e# Add up the bit planes. _0- e# Make a copy and remove zeroes.     e# Sort the bit plane sums.
(\W>| e# Get the first and last element. We use set union instead of addition so that the
e# resulting array will contain only one value if min = max.
fe=   e# For each element in the bit plane sums, count how often it appears in the min/max
e# array, which is either 1 or 0.
W%    e# Reverse the digits again (to undo the initial reversing).
2b    e# Interpret as base-2 digits.

• Shouldn't the output be the bitsum maximum and minimum? – DavidC Nov 3 '15 at 13:31
• @DavidCarraher No, see the examples. The output should be a number whose binary representation has 1s in those bits which correspond to the bit planes where the minima and maxima occurred. – Martin Ender Nov 3 '15 at 13:32

• Welcome to PPCG! I see a couple of ways that this could be made shorter. 1) When defining an arrow function with one parameter, you don't need the parentheses around it. f=(a)=>{} = f=a=>{} 2) You could turn your for...in loops into for...of loops, saving a few bytes: for(i in a)for(b=a[i]... = for(i of a)for(b=i..., for(i in s)r=s[i],d=... = for(r of s)d=... 3) Bitwise OR | automatically changes true to 1 and false to 0, so o+=r==q|r==d?1:0; is the same as o+=r==q|r==d;. – ETHproductions Nov 4 '15 at 2:45
• At the end you can make: return parseInt(o,2) to: return+('0b'+o) – Downgoat Nov 5 '15 at 3:28
• To save 2 bytes, you can replace s[l-d-1]=(s[l-d-1]|0) with s[T=l-d-1]=(s[T]|0). To shave more 2, replace b=i.toString(2),l=b.length,d=l with d=l=(b=i.toString(2)).length. – Ismael Miguel Nov 5 '15 at 9:37

• I'd love to see an explanation for this one... – trichoplax Nov 4 '15 at 9:18
• @trichoplax I'm not too brilliant with matlab/octave, but hopefully this helps: @(a) defines an anonymous function that takes an input vector a. [""  forces the output into a string (I believe). (b=sum(a-48)) defines b to be the vector containing the bitsums. b==max(b) will be a vector having a 1 in a given place if the bitsum there is a maximum, and a 0 otherwise. b(b>0) is a vector of every element of b greater than 0, so b==min(b(b>0)) is a vector containing a 1 when the bitsum is the minimum, and 0 otherwise. Then it's OR'd together, and +48 for ASCII. – BrainSteel Nov 4 '15 at 16:29
• @BrainSteel all makes sense now - thank you – trichoplax Nov 4 '15 at 17:30

I'm still beginner at golfing. Only 80 reputation comes from answer.

m=map
v=reverse
(b:x)&(c:y)=(b+c):x&y
[]&a=a
b&_=b
l=(show=<<).v.(\a->m(fromEnum.(elem[maximum a,minimum$(replicate=<<id)=<<a]))a).foldl1(&).m(m(read.(:[])).v)  How does it work. Instead of padding, I reverse the array then I add using user defined (&). I don't use foldl1(zipWith(+)) that is shorter because zipWith will delete the superflous item. Then I find the maximum and nonzero minimum, that also required user defined function. Then I match the item with the maximum and nonzero minimum, 1 if match, 0 if it doesn't match. Then we reverse and turn it into binary number. TODO: 1. Using Data.List • In the definition of k, c is only used once, so no need to put it in the where clause. Use it directly: ...||(x==a#b).... Why the curly braces? In l: concat.map show is concatMap show or even better >>=: l=(>>=show).v.... (Note: there's also =<< which does the same, but with arguments flipped: (show=<<).v...). >>= and =<< work in list context here and do different things in function or other contexts. – nimi Nov 4 '15 at 13:39 • You can replace [] in the last cases of & and # with _: b&_=b and _#l=l. – nimi Nov 4 '15 at 13:43 • (x==b)||(x==c) (or (x==b)||(x==a#b) when you remove c) can be replaced by elem x[b,c] (resp: elem x[b,a#b]). – nimi Nov 4 '15 at 13:50 • u=maximum and k a=m(\x->fromEnum$elem x[u a,a#u a])a should work. – nimi Nov 4 '15 at 13:58
• Don't do _&a=a, it must stay []&a=a, else the first list is lost if the second is empty. Use _ only in the last case - maybe that is your error. – nimi Nov 4 '15 at 14:03

Python 3, 181126 122 bytes

(I took out most of the byte count slashes because it was getting a bit ridiculous.) 21 bytes off thanks to Sp3000!

*z,=map(sum,zip(*[map(int,t.zfill(99))for t in input().split()]))
k=0
for x in z:k=k*10+(x in[min(z)or 1,max(z)])
print(k)


Slightly less golfed:

s=input().split()
k=list(map(lambda t:list(map(int,t))[::-1],s))
z=list(map(sum,zip(*k)))
y=z[:]
while min(y)==0:y.remove(0)
a,b=min(y),max(y)
f=''.join(map(lambda x:str(1*(x in[a,b])),z[::-1]))
print(int(f))


Input is expected in binary with only spaces separating the numbers. Output is in binary as well.
