Toronto Code Golf Tournament:

Compete & Collaborate to condense code into less and less characters!





🏌️ What's Code Golf? Code Golf is a unique programming competition where the goal is to solve problems using the least number of characters of code. It challenges your hacker mindset to reach deeper dungeons of the possibilities, that few know about. It's a test for depth of knowledge of your language, your hacking skills and creativity! There will be a winner, and "There can only be one!" (is our motto)

🎯 Objective: Participate in 3 code golf challenges, each lasting exactly 1 hour. The goal? Write the shortest code that fulfills the challenge's criteria.

πŸ”¨ Example: Write a bionic reader program: 
(Perl 95 chars)
perl -ple's`(\w+)(\W*)`$l=length$1;$l=$l>2?int$l*.4:1;$1=~s~.{$l}~\033[1m$&\033[0m~r."$2 "`ge'

(Python 99 chars)
python -c "print(*((b:=len(w)*2//5|1,f'\033[1m{w[:b]}\033[0m{w[b:]}')[1]for w in input().split()))"

(Ruby 108 chars)
ruby -pe'$_.gsub!(/(\w+)(\W*)/i){w=$1;l=w.size>2?(w.size*0.4):1;w[0...l]="\033[1m#{w[0...l]}\033[0m";w+$2}'

# Problem 2, Test Cases

[10,20,30] -> [10,20,30]
[[10]] -> [10]
[["Hi"],[[10]]] -> ["Hi",10]
[[[20],["Hi"],"Hi",20]] -> [20,"Hi","Hi",20]
[[["[]"],"[]"]] -> ["[]","[]"]

β€œThe primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy’s cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this. If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him. More than anything, you must be thinking of carrying your movement through to cutting him.” [ Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings ]
