Many of you may have interacted with people from Russia on the internet at some point, and a subset of you may have noticed the slightly odd method they have of expressing themselves.
e.g. удали игру нуб)))
where the )))
are added for emphasis on the previous statement, I have been working on a theory that the ratio of )
's to the rest of the string is directly proportional to the amount of implied emphasis, however I oftentimes find it difficult to compute the ratio on the fly, as I am also trying to cope with a slew of abuse, so I would like the shortest possible code to help me calculate what the resulting string should be, for a value of enthusiasm between 0 and 500%, given the original, unenthusiastic string, this will aid my research greatly as I will not have to type out bulky scripts every time I wish to test my hypothesis.
So, the challenge:
write a full program or function, which, provided two arguments, a string of unknown length, and a number, in either integer format (between 0 and 500) or in decimal format (between 0 and 5, with 2 points of accuracy) will
- return/display the original string, suffixed with a number of
)
's - the number will be the calculated as a ratio of the input number to the string length.
- so if the number 200, or 2.00 was provided, 200% of the string must be suffixed as
)
's - the number of brackets rounded to in decimal situations does not matter.
- script is required to support Printable ASCII characters.
- only has to support one input number format, of your choice.
Examples:
"codegolf" 125 = codegolf))))))))))
"codegolf" 75 = codegolf))))))
"noob team omg" 0.5 = noob team omg))))))
"hi!" 4.99 = hi!)))))))))))))))
Example code (PowerShell) (with decimal input):
Function Get-RussianString ([string]$InputStr,[decimal]$Ratio){
$StrLen = $InputStr.Length
$SuffixCount = $StrLen * $Ratio
$Suffix = [string]::New(")",$SuffixCount)
return $InputStr + $Suffix
}
Get-RussianString "codegolf" 0.5
codegolf))))
This is code-golf so shortest code wins!
"the number of brackets rounded to in decimal situations does not matter" -- Does this mean the 4th test-case could also print 14 brackets instead of 15? – smls – 2017-01-30T15:26:22.443
@smls yes, either the floor or ceiling of any decimal is acceptable. – colsw – 2017-01-30T15:28:49.463
I get a variation of two
)
s for thehi!,4.99
example.")"*(LEN(S$)*N)
produces 14)
s,")"*LEN(S$)*N
and")"*LEN(S$*N)
give 12. – 12Me21 – 2017-01-30T15:31:09.7332I'm confused, do Russians really use
)
for emphasis like an!
? Is it some encoding issue? – Captain Man – 2017-01-30T16:25:15.0572@CaptainMan I believe it's more like smiley faces than
!
s, but they do type them as is, it's not super common, but it's quite iconic. – colsw – 2017-01-30T16:47:44.73330@CaptainMan No
)
is reduced emoticon:)
. It is used very common between young people as far as I know. – talex – 2017-01-30T17:23:46.7834
)
is not an emphasis, it is simply the smiley. As far as I know, it is harder to type:
when using Russian keyboard layout, therefore they smile without eyes. – Džuris – 2017-01-30T17:28:37.61718@Juris it's as hard to write
:
on Russian layout (ЙЦУКЕН) as it is to type^
on QWERTY. But indeed, the)
is a reduced version of:)
. It's much easier to press and hold Shift-0 than to repeatedly alternate keys. – Ruslan – 2017-01-30T18:12:41.1632I think the appropriate word for "to make something Russian" is to Russify it, or Russianize it (I prefer the former). – Iwillnotexist Idonotexist – 2017-01-31T05:02:39.410
1Will you ever get
500
or5.0
as input? – Erik the Outgolfer – 2017-02-01T16:35:52.443@EriktheOutgolfer I'm intrigued as to how it would make a difference to your code, but yes the range is inclusive for this challenge, primarily because I want the 0 case to be handled. – colsw – 2017-02-01T18:58:50.403
@ConnorLSW I did not just ask for my code, but for everybody's reference BTW. – Erik the Outgolfer – 2017-02-02T11:21:24.853
Just by the way, the example should be
удали игру нуб)))
(instead ofдеинсталляция игра нуб)))
). – HolyBlackCat – 2017-02-02T12:36:36.390Do you require the program to both accept the decimal and integer formats? I read the challenge that way, but your example only accepts decimals. – Justin – 2017-02-02T17:40:42.693
1@Justin the example code is decimal only, but the input type is your own decision, only one is required. – colsw – 2017-02-02T17:48:21.387
