Well, I'm the first to say my code is really ugly, but yay anyway!

[exomo]

Your code is not that ugly. t is some kind of amazing

Here is my code that was disqualified because I didn't #include <string>

[syntax="cpp"]#include "fstream"
using namespace std;
main()
{ char *table = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxMxxO\0EfG*IjKxxxxxxn&xx.xxx";
ifstream infile("input.txt");

int pos = 0, direction = 71, tmp = 0, result = 0;
string the_field[25];

while(getline(infile, the_field[tmp++], '\n'));

while(direction)
{
tmp = the_field[pos/32][pos%32]-48;
result = direction & 4 ? direction & 8 ? result * tmp : result + tmp : result - tmp;
pos += (direction & 99) - 66;
direction = table[the_field[pos/32][pos%32]];
pos += (direction & 99) - 66;
}
printf("%i\n", result);
}[/syntax]

Shouldn't have been, <string> is included with fstream, my first couple of solutions used a std:string without including <string>

[edit] but I don't think you can getline into a string.

[Darobat]

Code: Select all

getline(infile, the_field[tmp++], '\n')

On my compiler that gives me
error C3861: 'getline': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup
Fixed when i include <string>

[Darryl]

ahh maybe there must be a getline overload in <string> that knows how to use string but doesn't get define in the fstream includes??? hmmm

The way I had got around that was to getline into a char buffer then += it to the string

Funny, my code has the least tokens, but by far the most characters / bytes :S. Maybe take a weighted mean of token- and byte-count next time, to avoid even more of string constants? I'd also like the next contest to be ANSI-compliant. This "fstream"-trick etc is a bit disgusting imo.
Nonetheless, string constants are my friends ....

some remarks:
- use global variables, they are automatically initialized to zero
- I/O: we all did basically the same thing, except Alvaro (who actually forgot a newline!)
- guys, commenting the code was too much work ?!?
- quite convenient that values bigger than 127 are wrapped into negative in string constants, I really wasn't aware of that before I tried here
- BH: lots of variables and (implied) 2 accolades. Escaped octal values don't need to start with a zero.
- Darryl gets the nesting award!

I didn't like that either however I fault tokxx, why should #include<any standard header> be more tokens than #include"myfile.h"

It's not like the < and > are operators, their use here is a special case that the compiler (pre-processor) recognizes
