How fast is my Hot Wheels car?

Question

Several years back, Hot Wheels made a simple flash game called "Formula Fuelers Racers"*. To play the game, you select three ingredients from a fridge to put into your car, which is then raced against the computer's randomly-generated car. It turns out the mechanics of this game are pretty simple. First off, the actual race "time" of your car is randomly generated and has no bearing on whether or not you win the race. Secondly, the winner of the race is determined by a score which is calculated from the selected ingredients (duplicate ingredients are allowed, and the order matters). Each ingredient has an associated "value" and an associated "operation" as shown in the following table:

#   ingredient     val  op
1   Hot Salsa       2   +
2   Root Beer       1   +
3   Milk            1   +
4   Pickle Juice    2   +
5   Mystery Lunch   -3  *
6   BBQ Sauce       2   +
7   Egg             1   +
8   Ketchup         2   +
9   Mustard         -1  *
10  Melon           1   +
11  Chocolate Milk  1   +
12  Mayonnaise      -2  *
13  Baby Food       0   +
14  Pepper          1   +
15  Salt            2   +
16  Syrup           -1  *
17  Salad Dressing  2   +
18  Orange Juice    1   +
19  Soy Sauce       2   +

For convenience, this challenge will be referring to ingredients by their number and not their name. Here are the steps to compute a score:

1. First, initialize the score with the value of the first ingredient.
2. Then, use the second ingredient's operation to combine the current score and the second ingredient's value to get an updated score.
3. Finally, use the third ingredient's operation to combine the current score and the third ingredient's value to get the final score.

Higher scores are better and always beat lower scores.

For example, the ingredients 1 2 3 have a score of (2+1)+1 = 4. The ingredients 7 5 6 have a score of (1*-3)+2 = -1. Therefore, 1 2 3 beats 7 5 6.

Challenge

In this challenge, you shall write a program which takes an ordered list of 3 integers and outputs the corresponding score.

Input

Your program may accept a list of three integers in the most convenient format. You are allowed to use either 1-indexing for the ingredient names (as above) or 0-indexing (subtract 1 from every index above).

Ouput

Your program must output a single integer indicating the score.

Test Cases

4 5 5  =>  18 // max score
5 5 5  =>  -27 // min score
13 13 13  =>  0
1 2 3  =>  4
7 5 6  =>  -1
16 2 19  =>  2
19 7 12  =>  -6

*This page is pretty outdated and doesn't work in some browsers, but you don't need to play the game for this challenge.

Takes a list of 0-indexed ingredients.

Try it online! or see a test suite

How?

Uses a slightly convoluted form of compressing the values as a base-6 number and the fact that the multiplicative entries are the negative ones. Instead of simply shifting up by 3 to get the base-6 digits, the complemented values incremented are used - this saves bytes by allowing the Ị atom to pick out the negative entries prior to the complement step while also saving a byte in the base-250 compression.

“zẈ€$ụ¤’b6’ị@µỊị⁾+׿CFḊV - Main link: 0-based ingredient list  e.g. [6,4,5]
“zẈ€$ụ¤’                 - base 250 compressed number: 120851767994004
        b6               - convert to base 6: [1,1,0,5,0,1,0,3,1,1,4,2,1,0,3,0,1,0,0]

           ị@            - index into [reversed @rguments]          [0,4,-1]
             µ           - monadic chain separation (call that x)
              Ị          - insignificant(x)? (abs(x)<=1)            [1,0,1]
                ⁾+×      - ['+','×']
               ị         - index into                               ['+','×','+']
                    C    - complement(x) (1-x)                      [1,-3,2]

Takes input as an array of 3 integers, using 0-indexing.

a=>(o=a=>F()<0?a*n:a+n)(o((F=_=>n='5445054524413452545'[a.shift()]-3)()))

Test cases

let f =

a=>(o=a=>F()<0?a*n:a+n)(o((F=_=>n='5445054524413452545'[a.shift()]-3)()))

console.log(f([3, 4, 4]))     // =>  18
console.log(f([4, 4, 4]))     // =>  -27
console.log(f([12, 12, 12]))  // =>  0
console.log(f([0, 1, 2]))     // =>  4
console.log(f([6, 4, 5]))     // =>  -1
console.log(f([15, 1, 18]))   // =>  2
console.log(f([18, 6, 11]))   // =>  -6

Previous version, 78 bytes

Takes the 3 integers in currying syntax (a)(b)(c), using 0-indexing.

a=>b=>(o=a=>b=>(n=F(b))<0?a*n:a+n)(o((F=n=>'5445054524413452545'[n]-3)(a))(b))

How it works

One slightly unusual thing about this code is that it only takes 2 arguments in 'common' currying syntax a => b => and eventually returns a function that takes the 3rd one.

Breakdown

F = n => '5445054524413452545'[n] - 3
o = a => b => (n = F(b)) < 0 ? a * n : a + n
f = a => b => o(o(F(a))(b))

f(a)(b)(c)
  |  |  |
  |  |  +-- 'b' argument of the function returned by the outer call to 'o'
  |  +----- 'b' argument of the function returned by 'f'
  +-------- 'a' argument of 'f'

Test cases

let f =

a=>b=>(o=a=>b=>(n=F(b))<0?a*n:a+n)(o((F=n=>'5445054524413452545'[n]-3)(a))(b))

console.log(f(3)(4)(4))     // =>  18
console.log(f(4)(4)(4))     // =>  -27
console.log(f(12)(12)(12))  // =>  0
console.log(f(0)(1)(2))     // =>  4
console.log(f(6)(4)(5))     // =>  -1
console.log(f(15)(1)(18))   // =>  2
console.log(f(18)(6)(11))   // =>  -6

Try it here! It's weird that my code works on this one interpreter only.

The second row basically contains all of the values from the table. The non-numeric values are actually negative values as they come before the digits on the ASCII table. There's a bit of logic there that determines if the number is negative or not, and if it is, this number is multiplied by the result.

The right side of the third row initializes the first number. If I didn't have to do that, I could save a lot of bytes.

This actually works for as many or as few inputs as you'd like, so you can have cars with 4 or more traits or cars with just 2. This was not intentional, just how it ended up.

q~[YXXY-3YXYWXX-2TXYWYXY]f={_W>42+c~}*

There might be a way to compress the list further...

Uses 0-based indexing.

Explanation

This program makes use of the fact that a value is multiplicative instead of additive if and only if its negative.

q~                     e# Get the list from input
  [...]                e# Push the list of values for each ingredient. T=0, W=-1, 
                       e#   X=1, Y=2. 
       f=              e# Get the elements at the given indices 
         {             e# Reduce over this block:
          _W>          e#  Check if the second number is > -1 (returning 0 or 1)
             42+c      e#  Add the result to 42 and cast to a char. 
                       e#    (ASCII 42 is * and 43 is +)
                 ~     e#  Eval the char (* is multiply, + is add)
                  }*   e# (end block)

function(a,b,c){v=c(5,4,4,5,0,5,4,5,2,4,4,1,3,4,5,2,5,4,5)-3
o=rep("+",19)
o[v<0]="*"
get(o[c])(get(o[b])(v[a],v[b]),v[c])}

Anonymous function that takes three integers as input. Defines a list of values and operations, and then just evaluates the ones called by the input, i.e. o3(o2(v1,v2),v3). There's almost definitely a golfier way to do this!

Update: after some re-working, I have an alternative, also 123 bytes. Again, an anonymous function, but takes input as a single vector of three values. Uses the same approach, defining a list of values and operations and evaluating it.

function(x,f=c(sum,prod)[x[-1]%in%c(5,9,12,16)+1],s=c(5,4,4,5,0,5,4,5,2,4,4,1,3,4,5,2,5,4,5)[x]-3)f[[2]](el(f)(s[-3]),s[3])

Haskell, 186 116 112 108 bytes

o x|x<0=(*)|0<1=(+)
v=(map((-51+).fromEnum)"95445054524413452545"!!)
w [x,y,z]=(o z)((o y)x y)z
k=w.map v

Main function is k. New to Code Golf so I am sure there are a few bytes I could shave off with clever use of $ operator versus parentheses. I will probably update the answer as I continue to find improvements.

Essentially the program can be broken down like this:

• v is a function that takes a 1 based index and returns the value of that food id.
• o is a function that takes the food value and returns the appropriate operator (Eg. negative values are always * where positive values are always +)
• w is a function that takes a List of 3 partial functions of v mapped to input integers and fetches the appropriate operations and values from each and returns the proper output.
• k is the main function in point free style that maps v to input and composes this list for w to return the output.

UPDATE

Special thanks for pointing out the fromEnum trick! That worked out nicely. Also I missed the part in the rules that stated an acceptable solution could be a function that takes a list of integers. That saved a tremendous amount of work.

UPDATE 2

As per other suggestions, shaved a handful of bytes by reordering operations, creating an else guard that always evaluates to True, and a pattern matching on W that pattern matches on a List of 3 elements. Thanks for the suggestions!

UPDATE 3

Another thanks to Laikoni for pointing out more code golf rules that I was not aware of. Also mapping v to my input to create a list of partially applied functions was a phenomenal idea and saved me 4 additional bytes!
