#No

No

Prohibitions on built-ins only apply to built-ins for which the stated purpose is identical to the prohibited task.


Feel free to add your arguments for this position to the below list:

  • Every code golf answer is a collection of built-ins that accomplish the task.

  • If there are other (1 byte) answers that do the same thing so that an answer could be any one of them, then at least all but one are not built-ins for the given task, as there aren't multiple built-ins (one would hope) for any given task.

  • A major goal of banning built-ins is to preclude trivial answers which show neither creativity nor deep knowledge; a post which states that a command does what it is defined to do is valueless. In contrast, a post which exposes a command that solves the challenge on its own, in a way which is not immediately obvious from the definition implies some level of creativity or higher-level understanding of the language.

  • Built-ins are primarily banned in code-golf challenges; if the challenge bans everything which can solve the problem in 1 byte then they're actually just arbitrarily banning 1 byte solutions in a challenge about reducing bytes. Saying "the winner is the lowest number of bytes, but not lower than N" is something I wouldn't welcome in Code Golf.
