# How much more reputation do I need?

Programming Puzzles and Code Golf has graduated from beta. Soon we will get a custom site design, and with that the reputation boundaries for privileges will go up. A lot of users will lose privileges on the site. So your task is to write a program that tells us how much extra reputation we'll need to keep our privileges.

## Task

Your task is to write the shortest code to find the amount of extra reputation a user will need to keep their current privileges after the site design, given the number of reputation points.

## Input / Output

You can accept input and give output in any way you like, so long as it follows these rules:

Input - An integer from 1 to 250000+ inclusive. Your program or function should be able to accept numbers bigger than this, but it must accept numbers in this range.

Output - An integer representing the number of reputation points the user will need to get to keep their current privileges after the graduation.

No standard loopholes, please.

## Example algorithm

1. Set variable i to the input
2. Set variable r to variable i.
3. While r is not in list beta:
1. Subtract 1 from r.
4. Set n to the position of r in beta.
5. Set r to item n of graduated.
6. Set variable o to the result of r - i.
7. If o < 0:
1. Set variable o to 0.
8. Output variable o.

• Btw the participate on meta rep threshold in 5 for beta sites as well. PPCG had it customized so new users can use the sandbox. This shouldn't change when we graduate. – Dennis Apr 23 '16 at 15:44
• @cat I actually used that; thanks! – wizzwizz4 Apr 23 '16 at 15:46
• @wizzwizz4 Thanks for that; my head is starting to explode and I only wanted 250 more rep. – cat Apr 23 '16 at 16:48
• @wizzwizz4 Nah, it would just look low next to Dennis :-) – xnor Apr 24 '16 at 6:48

• I think you're giving the new rep you need, not the increase. So, f(750) should be 1250, not 2000. Should be an easy fix. – xnor Apr 23 '16 at 20:10
• @xnor Well, f(750) should be 2250, not 1250 :) – orlp Apr 23 '16 at 20:20
• Still need to have f(72950) give 0. – xnor Apr 23 '16 at 20:33
• Your eval trick is really good. Combining it with my list compression gives 83: lambda n:max(eval("+(n>=%s*500)*%s*500"*7%(.3,3,1,3,3,4,4,10,7,10,8,10,10,10))-n,0). – xnor Apr 23 '16 at 21:12

If the user has 5000 or more reputation then findIndex fails, returning -1, so the result is incremented to that I can index into the array of new reputations needed. Edit: Saved 21 bytes by scaling the input and output array.

   [.3,1,3,4,7,8,10]        Old reputations of note, divided by 500

## Python, 88 bytes

lambda n:max(sum(500*b*(n>=a*500)for a,b in zip([.3,1,3,4,7,8,10],[3,3,4]+[10]*4))-n,0)


For each new beta privilege exceeded, adds the rep amount needed to get to the next graduated privilege. Then, the additional rep needed is the new rep minus the current rep, but no less than 0.

Both rep boundary lists are shortened by rep in multiples of 500.

• You might as well replace [3]*2+[4] with [3,3,4], 9 vs 8 bytes. – CalculatorFeline Apr 23 '16 at 23:33

The data string (5e3 5r4e3 5r3500 30./7r2e3 5r1500 10./3r500 6r1 1) is a list with the format (old_rep1) (new_rep1/old_rep1)r(old_repr) (new_rep2/old_rep2) only including privleges which set the new max rep (users with >750 rep still need at least 3k rep post-graduation, even though they will be an established user at 1k. The list is sorted from highest rep first to lowest rep last.

## LiveCode 8, 318 bytes

function g c
local b,g,r
put c into r
put "0.15,0.35,0.5,0.75,1,1.25,1.5,2,3.5,4,5" into b
split b by ","
put "0.3,0.1,0.6,0.2,0.4,0.5,1,2,3,4,5" into g
split g by ","
repeat with i=1 to 11
if c>b[i]*1000 and not c>g[i]*5000 then put max(r,g[i]*5000) into r
end repeat
return r-c
end g


As wizzwizz4 suggested, here is an explanation:

function g c


Create a function named g taking a single parameter c. c is the user's current reputation. Equivalent to def g(c) in Python.

local b,g,r


Create three local variables: b,g, and r. b will be the reputation cutoffs for privileges in beta, g will contain the new reputation cutoffs after graduation, and r will represent the total reputation the user will have to have after graduation to retain their privileges.

put c into r


This copies the value of c(the user's current reputation) into r. Equivalent to r=c in Python)

put "0.15,0.35,0.5,0.75,1,1.25,1.5,2,3.5,4,5" into b


Similar to above, this sets b to a string containing a comma-deliminated list of the reputation cutoffs in beta, divided by 1000. Equivalent to b="0.15,0.35,0.5,0.75,1,1.25,1.5,2,3.5,4,5" in Python.

split b by ","


This splits the local variable b into an array, using , as the delimiter. This array now contains the reputation cutoffs in beta, divided by 1000. Equivalent to b.split(",") in Python.

put "0.3,0.1,0.6,0.2,0.4,0.5,1,2,3,4,5" into g
split g by ","


Same as above, except that g now contains a list of the reputation cutoffs after graduation, divided by 5000

repeat with i=1 to 11


Similar to a for loop in other languages, this repeates 11 times, with i assigned the next value in the sequence 1 to 11 each time. Arrays in LiveCode start at index 1. In Python, this would be for i in range(11).

if c>b[i]*1000 and not c>g[i]*5000 then put max(r,g[i]*5000) into r


This is the main logic of the function. It checks to see if the user has enough reputation for the privilege in position i of the beta list, if so, and if they don't have enough reputation for the privilege after graduation, it sets the variable r(representing the total reputation that the user will have to have to retain their privileges after graduation) to the reputation cutoff after graduation for that privilege (only if the new reputation is higher than the previous one). The equivalent Python code would be if c>b[i]*1000 and not c>g[i]*5000: r=max(g[i]*5000,r) end repeat Ends the repeat loop. Similar to C or Java's }. LiveCode uses the syntax end 'insert contruct name to end a repeat loop, an if, a switch etc...

return r-c


Fairly self-explanatory.

end g


Ends the function g.
