Jul 6, 2018 at 12:40 comment added l4m2 All line breaks must be meaningful. Line breaks that can be removed and adjacent lines directly concatenated without an impact on the output, must be removed. for real life line breaks are usually not meaningful, though (int fffff(|type1 value1,|type2 value2){)

constrain n
Feb 13, 2018 at 19:19 comment added 12Me21 Is n guaranteed to be positive or do we need to handle 0 as well?

Jun 4, 2017 at 23:18 comment added Nick T @ais523 the rule is meant to prevent inserting linebreaks everywhere possible vs everywhere necessary, where that then prompts abuse of the grammar to make them necessary. Rules-wise, remove the first line break, concatenating the adjacent lines. If it produces the same output, it is deemed removable, if not, it isn't. Repeat down the length of the program.

Jun 4, 2017 at 1:19 comment added Ørjan Johansen @Hosch250 I have interpreted the concatenation as being "with no space between", so you can still have newlines between tokens that would fuse together into one, and even without that interpretation e.g. after to-end-of-line comment markers.

Jun 3, 2017 at 18:07 comment added George Willcox +1 This is actually a really good idea for a code golf challenge! The small number of characters per line does seem impractical though πŸ˜… I still love it though
Jun 3, 2017 at 17:02 comment added user10766 I take it that these rules require C-based programs to be written on one line since whitespace is not significant?

Jun 2, 2017 at 23:37 comment added nderscore Not sure how I feel about the "meaningful" newlines rule. When it comes to legal syntax, a wide majority of programming languages don't care about newlines and will let you write the entire program on a single line - just take a look at most of the code-golf solutions here :-P
Jun 2, 2017 at 22:56 comment added Wheat Wizard On the newline restriction, if removing a specific group of newlines causes it to work but removing any single newline causes it to fail, must the newlines be removed? They are syntactically important is just that removing some of them cancels out their importance.
Jun 2, 2017 at 22:49 comment added user62131 An ambiguity we've found in the rule about linebreaks: if the program breaks upon removing one linebreak, but unbreaks upon removing additional linebreaks (i.e. removing any single linebreak breaks the program, but removing a combination of linebreaks can leave it unchanged), is that a valid answer? This came up in Lenguage, but it's probably also relevant in Retina (which cares about whether the program has an even or odd number of lines).
