Re: Re: Re: Golf Challenge - does $x and $y fit into the same slot on @z?

Erm. Isn't that covered by the bit that says

Hrm. It's a debatable point, I suppose.

It explicitly states that that should be the strategy when determining "betweeness" whereas the example test cases I gave were those dealing with "greater than" or "less than" all the numbers in the array. I'm wavering more toward the poorly stated specification option now, though.

Understood. I took it to be a "fenceposts" problem -infinity < ($x & $y) <= $z[0] $zn < ($x & $y) <= $zn+1 $z-1 < ($x & $y) <= +infinity but now you have pointed out an alternative reading, I can see the ambiguity. 20:20 vision in hindsight :^) Examine what is said, not who speaks.	[reply]

I'm wavering more toward the poorly stated specification option now, though. You're probably right, although BrowserUk did have the correct interpretation. It was my first golf challenge ever. If I ever get the courage to post another one, I will be sure to be more clear. Although, I have the feeling that no matter How clear I make it, there will always be somebody that will find a loophole.	[reply]
