Great! Also based on your idea it could be done with 5 chars and one space, unoptimized code follows: Read more... (5 kB)
Re: Re: Six different chars by Anonymous Monk on Mar 30, 2004 at 09:11 UTC
Now, can anyone get rid of that space, or find a different way to do it in 5 chars? Could this be a new form of golf?	[reply]
Re: Re: Re: Six different chars by locked_user mtve (Deacon) on Mar 30, 2004 at 10:41 UTC
To be accurate, my variant is 6 chars too. So it's a nice golf to produce shortest JAPH with only 6 chars :) As usual, the only problem with JAPH is to define exact output.
Re: Six different chars by o0lit3 (Friar) on Aug 27, 2004 at 20:25 UTC
Days of work on this didn't get me much further. 6 characters seems to be the minimum, but (in the style of mtve), I did manage to produce a (much longer) script that uses 4 characters, one dollar sign ($), and one underscore(_). If someone could figure out how to get rid of these, I'd be much delighted. s++.ssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+ +s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s ++++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.s++s.s+.s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ss++s. +s+.s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s ++s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+ +s++.e+s+.+.sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+ +++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.s++s.s+.s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssss +sss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++ +.e+s+.+..++s+.+.sssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s +++.e+s+.+.ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++ +s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.sssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+ +s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++ +s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.sssssss++s.s ++.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssssss++s.s+.s+ +s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ss +++s.s+.s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++ ++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sss++s.s+.s+s ++++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++ +s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s ++++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssss++s.s+.s+s+ +++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++ +s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.s++s.s+.s+s+ ++.e+s+.+.ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s ++s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s ++++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.ssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+ +s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ss++s.s+.s+s++ ++s+s++.e+s+.+.sss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssss++s.s+.s ++s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s ++++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.s++s.s+.s ++s++.e+s+.+.ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+ +++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++ +.e+s+.+.ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+ +s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s ++s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s ++++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.s++s.s+.s+s++.e+s+.+. +sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s ++++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+ +++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.s++s.s+.s+s++.e+s+.+..++ +s+.+.sssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.ssssss++s.s+.s+ +s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s++ +.e+s+.+.sss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssssss++s.s+.s+s++ ++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s ++s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.s +ssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s ++++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+ +..++s+.+.sssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+ +.+.sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++ +s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s++.ssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+ +s+.+.sssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.. +++s++.ssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.sss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s++ ++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+ ++.e+s+.+.sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++ +s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s ++s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.s++s.s+.s+s++.e ++s+.+..++s+.+.sssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.ssssss +ssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+ ++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ssss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+.ssssssssss +s++s.s+.s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s ++s++.e+s+.+..++s+.+.ss++s.s+.s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+sssssssssss++s.s+.s+s+ +++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s+++s+s++.e+s+.+$ +_+eee [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Great! I wouldn't have thought 6 chars was enough.	[reply]

Whoops, the title should have said six. Any chance it could be changed?	[reply]

Unless you count the one newline at the very end. Very entertaining. -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply]
