Find the Interwoven Source Codes (Robbers)

Question

This is the robbers' thread. For the cops' thread, go here.

Introduction

For this Cops/Robbers challenge, the cops will write output-producing programs and interweave them together. It is the robber's job to pick apart the cops' programs to produce the desired outputs.

Robber rules

Robbers will try to find the different programs that people post in submissions to the cops' thread (linked above). If a robber solves a cop's code, they must post the separated programs and match them with their outputs in an answer here and post that they have cracked the code on the cop's answer.

Scoring

There are two components that are added together when scoring a cracked submission.

2 to the power of the number of different programs used in the cop's answer
Round the number of bytes in the interweaving down to the nearest power of 2.

For example, if a robber cracks TIliGoEnR as being TIGER and lion, then the robber receives 2^2+8=12 points.

The winner of the robbers' challenge will be the person with the most points after a sufficient period of time for people to participate.

'o'2\I/NO

Try it online!

a5F\aZ

Try it online!

The NaN in NaNo was a dead giveaway.

The obvious way to push NaN would be to divide 0 by itself, 2\I pushes the input length (0) twice, / performs division, and N prints a float.

We're left with printing o, and 'o' is a string literal that O prints.

Whatever characters were left had to belong to the other program. In fact, a pushes a linefeed, 5F the factorial of 5 (120), \a turns that into 120 linefeeds, and Z prints the entire stack.

101010                # print 0111111 which is binary for ?

I will add some description later(split the code in the parts that print individual parts)

Can someone explain how to calculate the score I don't quite understand the calculation — Dennis_J, Nov 23, 2015 at 15:42
Well done. The score is calculated by 2^programs + 256/bytes=points. In this case it's 2^2 + 256/128=6 points. I think this will be edited though, because as it is now, fewer byte count programs receive a higher bonus for robbers. Which feels off — Bassdrop Cumberwubwubwub, Nov 23, 2015 at 16:16

PHP, 68 points

$c=tR;$h=s;$c=$h.$c._.$h.plit;echo$c($h);

Output: Array

echo quotemeta('^/]'.co.'[$');

Output: \^/\]co\[\$

I like this submission, because it relies on a few lesser know features - one might say misfeatures - of PHP. PHP allows function references to be assigned to variables, so for example:

$f = function($a, $b) { return pow($a, $b); };
echo $f(2, 4);

would do exactly what you expect. As would:

$f = pow;
echo $f(2, 4);

...except it's not doing what you think. $f = pow does not assign a function reference to $f (that would make too much sense, right?), but rather the string 'pow'. The implication is that any string may be used as a function call, if it represents the name of a defined function. Bad code waiting to happen. I don't even know why you'd want to allow this.

Another misfeature of PHP, is that function names and keywords are case-insensitive. I wish I were joking. So echo pow(2, 4), ECHO POW(2, 4), and EcHo PoW(2,4) are all functionally equivalent.

The last misfeature on showcase is that whenever an array is typed as a string, such as for printing, the result is always the amazingly helpful string Array. Take a moment to reflect on the fact that someone actually did this deliberately.

So in the first program, @insertusernamehere builds up the string stR_split, this string is used as a function reference (which, for reasons above, actually works), and the result, an array, is output.

\$\begingroup\$ Nice work that comes with a great explanation. :) \$\endgroup\$

First:

p %w(b n n s)*?a%?}

Second:

w,=?(.ord,40,?);"jivivi{2".bytes{|b|putc b-w}

It followed pretty naturally from working out the end, with putc.

First program:

Second program:

class i{public static void main(String[]n){System.out.print("Bye!\n");}}

The first program outputs Hell0 and the second program outputs Bye!

Javascript, 132 points

Program 1

var x;{;alert((f=>(f.reverse(f+~~f,Math.pow(2,Math.E))))(new Array(99).fill(0).map((x,i,f)=>i/3)).join("").replace(/../g,""))}

Program 2

try{"function";Object.keys(f)}catch(e){f=s=>!s?f(1):"";alert(f(f(f(0/0) +f(7/5)))+f(f)+`${f}`.split``.map(e=>e.charCodeAt()*23))}

Whew. This was terrible.

After a lot of debugging I found out that after calling (parts of) the 2nd program, it wouldn't run again. This is because the global variable f was still assigned. Because of f being assigned, the try/catch didn't fail on Object.keys(f). I don't know if this is a sneaky trick or unintentional but it caused me a headache.

Also, I believe the output of the first program is platform specific.
/../g removes all characters on my machine, because of the regex . which means any character. Escaping it with /\../g works however, I hope someone can shed more light onto this. Also, my output is prone to rounding errors, perhaps some global javascript variable can change this?

Output

32666666666666643233333333333336323166666666666668313333333333333231306666666666666830333333333333323029666666666666682933333333333332292866666666666668283333333333333228276666666666666827333333333333322726666666666666682633333333333332262566666666666668253333333333333225246666666666666824333333333333322423666666666666682333333333333332232266666666666668223333333333333222216666666666666821333333333333322120666666666666682033333333333332201966666666666668193333333333333219186666666666666818333333333333321817666666666666681733333333333332171666666666666668163333333333333216156666666666666615333333333333341514666666666666661433333333333334141366666666666666133333333333333413126666666666666612333333333333341211666666666666661133333333333334111066666666666666103333333333333410966666666666666933333333333334986666666666666683333333333333487666666666666677333333333333337666666666666667633333333333333656666666666666753333333333333354666666666666674333333333333334366666666666666533333333333333353266666666666666523333333333333352166666666666666713333333333333331066666666666666603333333333333330

This was tested on chrome 46 (my only browser), Windows 7.

I hope this is still a valid submission, despite the different output

There was a slash in there, I don't know how it was missed. Good job, though! This is correct. I will update my submission when I am not on mobile ;) — Conor O'Brien, Nov 25, 2015 at 15:15

This would've been a lot harder, had the cop torn apart the keywords. ;)

I manually interwove it and got lazy, but good job. I tried being sneaky. Oh well. Actually thank you for cracking this one because I lost The original unweaved programs somehow. — Generic User, Nov 30, 2015 at 23:35
