Esse é um desafio no qual duas pessoas, 1 e 2, estão concorrendo ao cargo. As pessoas votam deterministicamente de certas maneiras no mundo de 1 e 2, o que pode permitir que os candidatos descubram os resultados antes da eleição.

NOTA: isso não se refere a eleições externas ou outros eventos políticos.

Duas pessoas estão concorrendo ao cargo. Chamaremos essas pessoas de 1 e 2. Como os dois querem saber se vencerão a eleição, decidem usar seu conhecimento das pessoas e algum código para descobrir qual será o resultado. Devido ao desejo de minimizar os gastos do governo, o código precisa ser o mais curto possível.

Sua tarefa: Dada uma série de pessoas com base em como estão votando, identifique quem vence a eleição.

Existem cinco tipos de pessoas no mundo divertido e emocionante de 1 e 2:

• A: pessoas que definitivamente votarão em 1.
• B: pessoas que definitivamente votarão em 2.
• X: pessoas que votarão em quem votará na pessoa à esquerda. Se não houver uma pessoa à sua esquerda, eles votam em quem quer que a pessoa à sua direita vote. Se não estiver claro em quem a pessoa à sua direita está votando, ela não votará.
• Y: as pessoas votam o oposto da pessoa à sua esquerda. Se não houver uma pessoa à sua esquerda, eles votam oposto de quem está à sua direita. Se não estiver claro em quem a pessoa à sua direita está votando, ela não votará.
• N: pessoas que não votam.

Isso é avaliado da esquerda para a direita.

Exemplo:

Quem está sendo "avaliado" está em minúsculas, para maior clareza.

Input: `XXAYAN`
        xX      Votes for whoever their friend is voting for. Their friend has not decided yet, so it is unclear, so they do not vote.
        Xx      Person to left is voting "none" so votes "none."
          a     Votes for 1
          Ay    Since person on left is voting for 1, votes for 2.
            a   Votes for 1
             n  Does not vote

Enquete final:

• 2 pessoas votaram em 1

• 1 pessoas votaram em 2

• 3 pessoas não votaram

1 tem mais votos, então 1 ganha!

Casos de teste:

Você pode usar outros caracteres ou valores como entrada e saída, desde que sejam distintos. (Por exemplo: números em vez de letras, letras diferentes, letras minúsculas, verdade / falsidade ou positivo / negativo (para saída), etc.)

Input -> Output

"AAAA" -> 1
"BBBB" -> 2
"BBAXY" -> 2
"BAXYBNXBAYXBN" -> 2
"XXAYAN" -> 1
"AAAABXXXX" -> 2
"AXNXXXXAYB" -> 1
"NANNY" -> 1
"XA" -> 1
"YAB" -> 2
"XY" -> anything (do not need to handle test cases with no victor)
"AB" -> anything (do not need to handle test cases with no victor)

l#(v:o)|v<2=v+v#o|n<-(3-v)*l=n+n#o

f x=rem(x!!1)2#x>0

Uses 1 for A, -1 for B, 0 for N, 2 for X and 4 for Y. Returns True if A wins, else False.

Try it online!

On the recursive way down the input list we add 1 for every vote for A, -1 for every vote for B and 0 for "no vote". l is the last vote, v the next. If v=1, -1 or 0 (or v<2) we just add it to the sum. If v is "vote same" (X in the challenge, 2 for my solution) we keep and add l ((3-2)*l = l). If v is "vote opposite" (Y in the challenge, 4 for my solution) we first negate l ((3-4)*l = -l) and then add it. Base case is the empty list which starts the sum with 0. Recursion is started with l set to rem s 2 where s is the second element of the input list (x!!1). rem s 2 maps 1 and -1 to itself, all other values to 0. Fix votes ignore l anyway [*] and X or Y get the right neighbor if it's a fix vote. If the overall sum is positive, A wins.

[*] this makes singleton lists with fix votes like [1] work, because due to Haskell's laziness access to the second element is never evaluated. Inputs like [2] fail with error, but don't have to be considered.

Try it online! Link includes test cases. Outputs 0 for a tie. Explanation:

AY

Handle Y voters to the right of people with decided votes.

}`(A|B)X
$1$1

Handle X voters to the right of people with decided votes, and then loop back until all possible Y and X votes can be decided.

^X(A|B)|^Y[AB]
$1$1

Handle an initial X voter next to a decided vote, and also an initial Y voter next to a decided vote. As this voter will vote opposite to the decided vote, we can just delete both votes in this case.

+`N|X|Y|AB|BA

Delete any remaining no vote or undecided votes, and cancel out all pairs of opposing decided votes. Repeat until all possible votes are cancelled. In the case of a tie, nothing will be left, otherwise the remaining votes will all be of the same type.

.+|(?<=B)

Output 1 if there are any votes, but 2 if they are B votes.

Using tab indentation

Input: list of ints where 'A'=1, 'B'=0, 'X'=4, 'N'=3, 'Y'=-1, so "AAAA" is [1, 1, 1, 1] and "XXAYAN" is [4, 4, 1, -1, 1, 3].

[{'A': 1, 'B': 0, 'X': 4, 'N': 3, 'Y': -1}[c] for c in s] will convert the strings to the needed input format.

Uses A for A, B for B, N for N, \0 for X and \3 for Y (the last two being literal control chars). The trick is that A bitwise-xor \3 equals B, and vice-versa.

Takes in a string with the format given in the OP and returns 1 if candidate 1 won and 2 otherwise (I'll admit it, I'm even-biased).

• Input as integer array where N = 0, A = -2, B = 2, X = 1, Y = -1;
• Output negative = A, 0 = draw, positive = B
• If first input is X or Y, then 2*int(v[1]/2) maps second to itself or 0

Bug fix was required that added extra bytes, but converting to lambda thanks to @Stephen reduced it back to 95
