For some reason the compare failed.

This was captured after the "until" before the "IF".

Until: 45=44.5 0
code:
function CDSorter($w, $)
   Dim $x, $b
      do
         ? "Until: "+ $+"="+$b + " " + ($=$b)
         ? "" + $b + "<"+$
         if $b<$ ? "in if"  ? "w="+$w $x = split($w,",") endif
         $b=0.5
         Dim $z,$q,$
         for each $q in $x
            $=1+$
            if $q
               $b = $b + $q
               $z=$z+","+$
            endif
         next
         ;? "" + ubound($x) + " " + ($-2)
         $x[RND($-1)]=0
         $CDSorter=substr($z,2)

      until $=$b
      ? "$="+$
      ? "$b="+$b
endfunction

if the compare is using CINT() function behind the scene, then this might explain it:

quote:

CInt( ) differs from the Fix( ) and Int( ) functions, which truncate, rather than round, the fractional part of a number. When the fractional part is exactly 0.5, the CInt( ) function always rounds it to the nearest even number. For example, 0.5 rounds to 0, and 1.5 rounds to 2.

Therefore 44.5 will round to 44 not 45.

Run this:
code:
Break On
$=45
$a=44.5
? ($=$a)

$=44
$a=43.5
? ($=$a)

$=43
$a=42.5
? ($=$a)

$=42
$a=41.5
? ($=$a)
the rounding rule appears to be round down on EVEN and up on ODD.

Exactly. It rounds to the nearest even number.

maciep, no it doesn't.
not by normal rules.
this is more sophisticated way to round but it's not in any way common.

the rounding of int is obvious as it returns the integer part of the number...

damn, wouldn't seen this ever without hoby and golf.
so thanks.

So Lonk, given the current issue with the rounding are you wanting to maintain your last posted code as a contender? It did pass the test suite. If you don't, I still have the lead at 182. If you do, then I'll pop a couple more Ibuprofens and have a go at it.

well, same goes with last 20 codes.

I can always dig a situation where it will fail...
should I?

think we need third opinion here...

yeah.
just tested and your 182 has just same issue.
and as far as I know, it will go a long way back.

maybe even to my 244 [Wink]

and "perfect" 182 score comes from:
code:
function CDSorter($w, $)
   Dim $x, $b
      do
         if $b<$ $x = split($w,",") endif
         $b=0.49
         Dim $z,$q,$
         for each $q in $x
            $=1+$
            if $q
               $b = $b + $q
               $z=$z+","+$
            endif
         next
         $x[RND($-2)]=0
         $CDSorter=substr($z,2)
      until $=$b
endfunction
but, I think we need some ruling from outside on this.

         $b=0.
         Dim $z,$q,$
         for each $q in $x
            $=1+$
            if $q
               $b = $b + $q
               $z=$z+","+$
            endif
         next
         $x[RND($-1)]=0
         $CDSorter=substr($z,2)
      until $b<=$
   until $b > $-1

well, needed to go pretty far and this still is not perfect...
code:
function CDSorter($w, $)
   Dim $x, $b
      do
         if $b<$ $x = split($w+",",",") endif
         $b=0.4999
         Dim $z,$q,$
         for each $q in $x
            $=1+$
            if $q
               $b = $b + $q
               $z=$z+","+$
            endif
         next
         $x[RND($-1)]=0
         $CDSorter=substr($z,2)
      until $=$b
endfunction
it makes the assumption that ppl do not give msecs as input.
only then it is fully trustable.

Holes and inadequacies can be found in even the most accepted software. Take M$ Windows and their other suites of products for example. Just because there are security holes, bugs, and other things people gripe over does not mean that they are not usable and helpful.

I salute Jooel in his innovative approach and his score of 182 using the integer rounding methogology. I think that by adding the one stroke and using .49 for a score of 183 makes the program usable.

So it appears that we both have usable programs at a score of 183. My head hurts trying to improve upon either code example.

Again the Golf challenge has brought to light a couple of items of interest. 1) the use of scoped variables in KiXtart and 2) the rounding method automatically employed when evaluating integers and doubles.

Thanks Jens for another entertaining week.

making it .49 comes to 182!
just like said, I still have the winner [Wink]
the shortest with .5 was 181

Not so fast. All I have to do is knock a mere 40 strokes off my score, and I'm right back in it [Big Grin]

code:
  
function CDSorter($a, $b)
   dim $c, $, $u,$p, $t
   $c = split($a, ",")
   $u = ubound($c)
   srnd(@TICKS)
   do
      $ = rnd($u)
      $p = -0.5 + $b
      redim $a[$] 
      do
         $t = rnd($u)+1
         if ascan($a, $t)<0
            $p = $p - $c[$t-1]
            $a[$] = $t
            $=$-1
         endif
      until $ < 0 
   until 0=$p
   $CDSorter = join($a,",")
endfunction
Notice that if you start at medialength-0.5 and subtract, then you don't have to worry about rounding, -0.5<= n <=0.5 always rounds to 0

not true [Big Grin]
we can make the medialength 44 and required lenght 43 [Big Grin]

that is the reason for the medialength argument even though jens didn't use it.

Ya, but through detailed and painstaking statistical analysis (SWAG) I have determined that you need $b=0.499 to be on par with quality of my code. [Wink] Which takes you to 183 buddy. [Smile]
