Re: Homework Golf

Um, the perl -nle'' count as 11? If so:

42
(Lowercase dictionary.)

perl -lnE'unpack("%a*")-65-96*length||say'
[download]

45
(Lowercase dictionary.)

perl -lne'65+length()*96-unpack"%a*"or print'
[download]

perl -lne'65+length()*96-unpack"%a*",lc or print'
[download]

Note: I added the say version following Athanasius's example.

Dec 05: x-d the readmore tags. Once more as above, using Abigail's Horror:

#23456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_
perl -lnE'65+96*y///c-unpack"%a*"or say'
[download]

In all the solutions that use length, you can save up to three strokes by employing Abigail's length horror, changing `length()` to `y///c`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Except... `-l` option is necessary for otherwise `\n` is a problem. Update: Tux(20+21+24) == 65 `:-)`	[reply]

I love this one. Took me ten minutes and a command line to take it apart and grok it. Awesome.	[reply]
