Diga Olá aos Pioneiros da Ciência da Computação


30

Escolha o seu famoso cientista da computação favorito ou pioneiro da ciência da computação que nasceu em 1942 ou anterior (como 1943 marca o início da criação do 'primeiro' computador ). Eles devem ter uma página da Wikipedia ou outro site que liste seu ano de nascimento e diga como suas realizações se relacionam à ciência da computação. Você pode escolher o mesmo que outra pessoa, mas a escolha de alguém novo é incentivada.

Pegue um nome pelo qual eles são comumente conhecidos. Esse provavelmente será o nome e o sobrenome, mas pode incluir abreviações ou nomes do meio, se isso for mais comum. Por exemplo, para Tony Hoare ambos Tony Hoaree C. A. R. Hoareseria aceitável.

Todos os caracteres no nome devem ser ASCII imprimíveis . Se o nome contiver caracteres que não são ASCII imprimíveis, tudo bem se você escolher algo aproximado. por exemplo, em Kurt Godelvez deKurt Gödel .

Pegue o conjunto de caracteres únicos no nome (por exemplo C. ARHoare) e mude-os para a escala ASCII imprimível até o ano de nascimento do seu cientista, passando ~do espaço para o espaço. (Basicamente, adicione o módulo 95 do ano de nascimento.) Isso fornecerá a você (provavelmente) um novo conjunto de caracteres ASCII imprimíveis.

Por exemplo, o CAR Hoare nasceu em 1934, mudando todo personagem em C. ARHoare1934 (34 mod 95) ePBctj2$5(.

Este snippet de pilha fará toda a mudança para você:

function go() {var name = document.getElementById("name").value;var year = parseInt(document.getElementById("year").value);var unique = {};for (var i = 0; i < name.length; i++) { unique[name.charAt(i)] = true; } var result = ''; for (var char in unique) { result += String.fromCharCode((char.charCodeAt(0) - 32 + year) % 95 + 32); } document.getElementById("result").value = result; }
Name: <input type="text" id="name" value="C. A. R. Hoare"><br>
Birth Year: <input type="text" id="year" value="1934"><br>
<button type="button" onclick="go()">Ok</button><br>
Result: <input type="text" id="result" readonly>

Desafio

Usando este conjunto e apenas este conjunto (sem tabulações, sem novas linhas) de caracteres ASCII imprimíveis deslocados, escreva um programa que imprima Hello, [name]!para stdout ou alternativa mais próxima, onde [name]é o mesmo nome exato que você escolheu acima e deslocou para obter os caracteres do programa. Você pode usar vários caracteres do conjunto ou não usar alguns. Por exemplo, o programa teórico PetBee($25imprimeHello, C. A. R. Hoare! .

Pontuação

Sua pontuação é o tamanho do seu código em bytes vezes o número de caracteres únicos no nome que você escolher. A menor dor ganha.

Devo escolher, por exemplo, Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī e usar uma ficção ASCII razoável de seu nome, por exemplo, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, isso seria aceitável?

Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, United States Navy, (Retired), Doctor of Philosophy. Nascido em 1906. Tudo bem?
Bill Woodger

@ BillWoodger Eu acho que é um pouco exagerado. Eu ficaria bem com isso Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper. Lembre-se de que o tamanho do seu código é multiplicado pelo número de caracteres únicos no nome, portanto, um nome mais longo não é necessariamente melhor.

CJam, 230 117 115 114 113 110 107 106 bytes * 13 = 1378

23)3*c11(2#)c111(((c3*))))22 2*c32c23 3*c3))$(113))c1$)))2$)2$(32c3)))$(3)$))1($)1($)3))$)1($)1$(12$(((33c

Test it here.

I chose Edsger Dijkstra, born 1930, which gives me c#2&$1>b()* 3 (whom I really just chose because he was the first one I found whose name yielded useful characters for CJam; I've checked a dozen names since and none looked as promising).

The code basically just builds the ASCII codes using 1, 2, 3, *, # (exponentiation) and (, ) (decrement, increment) and converts them to a character with c. To save some characters I can sometimes copy an earlier character with $ (0$ copies the top stack element, 1$ copies the second-to-top stack element and so on).

Here is the breakdown of the code into characters (this is also runnable):

23)3*c    "(23+1)*3 -> 72 -> H";
11(2#)c   "(11-1)^2+1 -> 101 -> e";
111(((c   "111-3 -> 108 -> l";
3*)       "Turn l into string lll and split off the third l.";
)))       "l+3 -> o";
22 2*c    "22*2 -> 44 -> ,";
32c       "32 -> Space";
23 3*c    "23*3 -> 69 -> E";

2$)       "d+1 -> e";
2$(       "s+1 -> r";
32c       "32 -> Space";
3)))$(    "E-1 -> D";
3)$))     "g+2 -> i";
1($)      "i+1 -> j";
1($)      "j+1 -> k";

Marbelous, 83 bytes * 10 = 830

I've chosen R Kowalski, 1941 which allows me to use: {It9A+6=53

++63
A66333696A5A696A6A69
A5633A..+3+6+3+9++
A56A+I
AA+6
=3
3653666665
+I+I+6+6+A++

This one is a bit more complex than the old answer (below) since many marbles go through multiple devices, all in all most marble just have a few things added to them before being printed though. Because I didn't have subtraction or low numerals, the lower ascii codes had to be formed by adding by merging two high value marbles, since this results in addition modulo. (I've used =3 as a deflector since it pushes every marble not equal to 3 to the right and looks like a cute cat)

output:

Hello, R Kowalski!

old answer:

Marbelous, 113 * 17 = 1921

Marbelous does okay here, since ever marble that falls off the board gets printed, because of its 2D nature though, it needs a few numerals + some arithmetic to not let the borad get too huge.

I've chosen Philip D. Estridge, 1937 who yields u./26EiSj9:8*-+ as the available character set. The characters actually used are .+-245689E

6865
4965686866282252686968696E2244666E65686422456E6E6E6964
--..+4+4+9+4-2-2....+4..+2-2..+9..-4+4..-2..+5+6+4

The board is pretty simple, the first 3 rows are literals, ever group of two is a hexadecimal value, the fourth row are arithmetic operations to form the ascii codes that could not be written explicitly because of the limited character sets.

output:

Hello, Philip Donald Estridge!

You can try it out here!

I'll now look for a possible better candidate, since it looks like marbelous might actually be competitive here.


Not sure whether shortening the name considered acceptable.

I can do G Boole with 105 characters * 6 - I think there should be a limit on how much the name can be shortened.

"Hello, Niklaus Emil Wirth!" (Befunge-98, 222×14=3108)

From Wikipedia:

Niklaus Emil Wirth (born February 15, 1934) is a Swiss computer scientist, best known for designing several programming languages, including Pascal, and for pioneering several classic topics in software engineering. In 1984 he won the Turing Award for developing a sequence of innovative computer languages.

With a shift of 34, Niklaus Emil Wirth (18 characters, 14 unique) ends up as p,./$86Bg0,/By,57+.

Code (try it out here):

88888888+++++++50p50g8+,50g88885+++++00pg,g7+,g7+,g55++,888866+++++,8888+++,50g68++,g886++5/+,g6+,g7+,50g88755+++++,g88++,g77++,8888+++,50g5+,g8+,g886++5/+,g7+,8888+++,50g887+++,g886++5/+,g85++,g87++,g88+5/+,g5/85++,50g00p

Breakdown:

88888888+++++++ # Put eight '8's on the stack and add them together (ASCII 64 = `@`)
50p             # Save this value in row 0, column 5 (where the 6th '8' was)
50g8+,          # Fetch the value we just saved, add 8 and print it (ASCII 72 = `H`)
50g88885+++++   # Fetch it again and add 37 (4×8+5) (ASCII 101 = `e`)
00p             # Save this value in row 0, column 0 (the very first character)
g,              # Fetch & print this value (stack is empty, so coordinates will be zero)
g7+,g7+,        # Fetch it again, add 7 (ASCII 108 = `l`) and print. Repeat.
g55++,          # Print `o`
888866+++++,    # Print `,` (4×8+2×6=44)
8888+++,50g68++,g886++5/+,g6+,g7+,50g88755+++++,g  # Continue in a similar fashion,
88++,g77++,8888+++,50g5+,g8+,g886++5/+,g7+,8888++  # using integer division (`/`) in
+,50g887+++,g886++5/+,g85++,g87++,g88+5/+,g5/85++, # a few places
50g00p          # Fetch the `@` character and put it in cell (0,0)

The last line places a HALT character (@) at the beginning of the line. When the control wraps around back to this point, the program will stop. This shouldn't actually be necessary, because the @ character at (5,0) is still there and nothing should be output before it is reached. However, the only online Befunge interpreter that will run this monstrosity won't work properly without it.

It is actually possible to make a working solution with just Niklaus Wirth (12 unique chars, p,./$86By,57+), but the code is much, much longer.

(Tagged as Befunge-98 because Befunge-93 is limited to a width of 80 characters.)

Brainf_ck - 723 * 12 = 8676

I did a crawl from Wikipedia's List of computer scientists and collected the birthyears and longest names of all the people listed there. I wrote a program to run over all these and find any I could possibly do in a common language. Sadly, I was unable to find any names that could support echo;, alert(), console.log() (I can hope), print, or main.

I mainly wanted to share my raw crawl data in case anyone wanted to similarly search for other languages (note: may be inaccurate and incomplete): Crawl Data.

EDIT: New crawl paste with about 40 new names from List of computing people and List of pioneers in computer science.

EDIT: Manually cleaned up the list.

I did find that Jean David Ichbiah (1940), chief designer of Ada, provides +-. (the shortest of three people to do so). I generated this BF code for him.

Alexander Keewatin Dewdney provided the most usable BF characters (+.<>), but came in slightly above my answer. No one I found provided .[].

Some of that crawl data is definitely wrong. I met Sir Maurice Wilkes: he was old, but not 900 years old.

I took a manual pass through and fixed some of those, and also found a lot of dates that the bot didn't pick up on at all. Didn't bring up any new results for me, though.

Since there's no access to elements below the top of the stack I wrote a C# program to find short snippets that take a given integer on the top of the stack and add the next integer required. This created one small problem, when the snippet for 69 (E) ended with - and the snippet for 110 (n) started with 9: it cost one char to use a longer snippet for 110.

Hello, Jack Elton Bresenham!

CaneCode is just a direct symbol substitution of Brainfuck, where 12348 correspond to +-><. respectively. I spent about 2 hours trying to look for a short name which gave +-. for normal Brainfuck, with no success.

Jack Elton Bresenham, inventor of Bresenham's line algorithm and born 1937, gives the following characters:

o')1Ej2:54g8+9.3

Unfortunately, while 5 ([) is available, the lack of 6 (]) means that the code still had to increment up the 100-ish area (for lowercase chars) the slow way.

Hello, Ivar Hjalmar Jacobson!

Ivar Hjalmar Jacobson, born 1939, was found thanks to BMac's crawl data. He provides the chars

)*+24567:;>Gopq

><>, like Befunge, is a 2D stack-based language. The useful ><> commands are:

  • *+24567 for arithmetic (note that 47 pushes a 4 and a 7 on the stack, not 47)
  • ) for greater than (useful for getting 1)
  • : for duplicating the top of the stack
  • o for output
  • ; for program termination

p is also good for reflection, but I was unable to think of a good use for it. > is another ><> command, directing program flow rightwards, but since the program already executes in that direction it was not needed.
