$a=a(Left($,~))+($^)*$a*($a>)

its using recursion to call itself, basically function a() is calling function a() until it runs out of letters.

the ~ is a shortcut for -1

0^$ or $^ is a shortcut for len($) ;I have no idea how/why this works, but someone figured it out in one of the last golfs

($a>) = ($a>0)

Thanks Allen very well put, and i think it was Jooel or Shawn that showed me that one, one of them might elaborate more clearly.

Jochen:

Your "99" won't cut it as the specs call for support of up to 255 characters in the Inputs & Outputs section
 Code:
[b]=============
Inputs & Outputs
=============[/b]

Input: A packet containing 1 to 255 characters

Also,

($a>) = (0|$a) = ($a|)

Not sure if it's interesting but I noticed that OR behaves the same as XOR for the len() thing. No chars saved, but never mind.

I would love to play - but I am in the middle of implementing our new web filtering and doing our Virtual Office project (almost 200 workers at home full time now).

Oh then there is the family - etc etc... But I will keep lurking.

Not quite:

 Code:
break on
$=-1
($|) ?
($>)
get $


returns

-1
0

Oops, Just noticed the code I pinched was not the XOR at all it was ($>). XOR would be ($^)

so, using a text string

 Code:
break on
$="-1"
($|) ?
($^)
get $


returns

2
2


But if $ is an integer both OR and XOR return the value of the integer. Good job we're using strings.

I'm running out of ideas how this can be solved differently... well, at least promising ideas to shorten the code \:\(

acmp,
Shouldn't that be
$=-1
you wrote
$="-1"
You made it a string
 Code:
Break on
$=-1
($|) ?
($^)
Get $

returns
 Code:
-1
-1

Exactly.

IF a string is provided both OR and XOR return the lenght of the string, if an integer is used the value of the integer is returned.

I give up.

The last thing I worked with was this 79 code (nothing really new)
Can't improve anymore...

 Code:
function a($)
    if $
        $a = a(left($,~)) + ($^) * (asc(right($,1))-64) * (trim($)=$)
endfunction

Have to be careful though - the algorithm will fail if there is a trailing space in the string

forget it, stupid q.

anyhow, this would work:
 Code:
        $a = a(left($,~)) + ($^) * (asc(right($,1))-64) * (rtrim($)=$)

and this would also yield 79:
 Code:
function a($)
    if $
        $a=right($,1)
        $a = a(left($,~)) + ($^) * (asc($a)-64) * ($a>!)
endfunction
