FizzBuzz Reverse Solver

Question

Synopsis: Given the output of a generalised FizzBuzz program, return the list of factors and words used for the program.

Challenge Description

Imagine a generalised FizzBuzz program that takes in as input a list of factors and words to use and the number to start from. For instance, if the input of this program was

3 2,Ninja 5,Bear 7,Monkey

The program would print out numbers from 3 to 100, replacing numbers divisible by 2 with Ninja, numbers divisible by 5 with Bear, and numbers divisible by 7 with Monkey. For numbers that are divisible then more than one of those terms, the program will concatenate the words, printing things such as NinjaBear or BearMonkey or NinjaMonkey or NinjaBearMonkey. Here's the output of that input:

3
Ninja
Bear
Ninja
Monkey
Ninja

NinjaBear

99
NinjaBear

Note that whenever the program needs to combine words together, it always goes from lowest number to highest number. So it won't print out something like MonkeyBear (since Monkey is a higher number than Bear is).

Your program should take in the output of the generalised FizzBuzz program as input, and output the input given to the generalised FizzBuzz program. In other words, write a "reverse program" for the generalised FizzBuzz program. For instance, given the code block above as input, your program should output 3 2,Ninja 5,Bear, 7,Monkey.

There are some rules that the words will always follow:

• It will always be possible to tell exactly what the factors and words are from the input.
• Each word will begin with a capital letter and will not contain any other capital letters, or numbers.
• Each factor is unique.

That was certaintly a tough one. I think I've covered all the edge cases, including everything in @MartinBüttner's example, and the no repeat factors example.

NinjaBearMonkey, Deliciousness

At the high level, the program first finds all of the words by chopping up the alphabetical strings on capital letters.

Then, the rows are mapped to whether or not each string appears in the row, and each possible factor is tested to see if it produces the same ordering. If it does, the factor is added to a gobal list, which is check to see if the factor was already present. If it was not already present, the factor is used. The strings are ordered by first appearance in the input, which disambiguates the ordering of strings that each appear only once in the same row.

After that, it's just formatting and printing.

(s:String)⇒{def g(a:Int,b:Int):Int=if(b==0)a.abs else g(b,a%b);val(j,q)=(s.lines:\100→Map.empty[String,Int]){case(l,(n,m))⇒if(l(0).isDigit)(n-1,m)else(n-1,m++(Seq(Seq(l(0)))/:l.tail){case(x,c)⇒if(c.isUpper)Seq(c)+:x else (x(0):+c)+:x.tail}.map{t⇒val w=t.mkString;w→g(m.getOrElse(w,n),n)})};s"${j+1}"+q.map{case(k,v)=>s" $v,$k"}.toSeq.sorted.mkString}

not winning... but nice question.

Answer 3

Python 2, 366 340 331 bytes

This program receive input via stdin.

New approach:

Calculate the factor of only one occurrence's words by the distance from the end of the line. For example (from the last sample): DeliciousTartApplePie Pie is calculate as: [95,19,5,1][0] and Apple is: [95,19,5,1][1].

import sys
import re
d=[(i,re.findall('[A-Z][a-z]*',l)[::-1])for i,l in enumerate(sys.stdin)]
e=101-len(d)
print e," ".join(`x`+','+`y`[1:-1]for x,y in sorted({next((j-i for j,t in d if j>i and w in t),[x for x in range(i+e,0,-1)if(i+e)%x==0][d[i][1].index(w)]):w for w,i in{w:i for i,l in d[::-1]for w in l}.items()}.iteritems()))

Old approach:

import sys
import re
l=[(i,re.findall('[A-Z][a-z]*',l))for i,l in enumerate(sys.stdin)]
e=101-len(l)
d={}
for i,s in l:
 for w in s[::-1]:
  if w not in d.values():
   d[next((j-i for j,t in l[i+1:]if w in t),next(m for m in range(i+e,0,-1)if(i+e)%m==0and m not in d))]=w 
print e," ".join(`x`+','+`y`[1:-1]for x,y in sorted(d.iteritems()))

Usage:

python FizzBuzzReverseSolver.py < Sample1.txt

Explanation (of Old approach):

• In general, the program creates a list of line number and list of words (e.g. [(0, []), (1, ['Ninja']), (2, ['Bear']), ...].
• For each word in every line (starting from the end of the line):
  • Find the next occurrence of the word and insert the difference and the word to a predefined dictionary.
  • If it doesn't found, insert the biggest factor of the line number (including itself) that doesnt already exist in the dictionary and the word to the dictionary.
