Your task is to translate a 103-smooth number into an English word, using the method described below.

How?

  1. Generate the list of prime factors (with repetition) of the input number.
  2. Sort the list:
    • If 2 is not one of the prime factors, sort the list in ascending order.
    • If 2 is one of the prime factors, remove it from the list and sort the remaining factors in descending order.
  3. Translate each factor into a letter, using the following table:

     3 = S   13 = L   29 = X   43 = O   61 = Z   79 = H  101 = K  
     5 = P   17 = Q   31 = N   47 = R   67 = T   83 = V  103 = Y  
     7 = M   19 = U   37 = C   53 = A   71 = E   89 = D  
    11 = F   23 = I   41 = W   59 = G   73 = J   97 = B  
    

Note: This table was built empirically to maximize the number of possible words. For the curious, here is a list of 2,187 words that can be encoded that way (may include rude language). It's definitely not guaranteed to be optimal, but it's good enough for this challenge.

Examples

Example 1: 579085261 (ascending order)

  1. The prime factors are [ 37, 47, 53, 61, 103 ].
  2. 2 is not a prime factor, so we keep the list sorted in ascending order.
  3. 37 = C, 47 = R, etc. The output is "CRAZY".

Example 2: 725582 (descending order)

  1. The prime factors are [ 2, 11, 13, 43, 59 ].
  2. 2 is a prime factor, so we remove it and sort the list in descending order, which gives:
    [ 59, 43, 13, 11 ].
  3. 59 = G, 43 = O, etc. The output is "GOLF".

Example 3: 10757494 (with a repeated factor)

  1. The prime factors are [ 2, 11, 71, 71, 97 ].
  2. 2 is a prime factor, so we remove it and sort the list in descending order, which gives:
    [ 97, 71, 71, 11 ].
  3. 97 = B, 71 = E, 11 = F. The output is "BEEF".

Clarifications and rules

  • The input number is guaranteed to be 103-smooth and divisible by 2 at most once.
  • By definition, a smooth-number is a positive integer.
  • Input and output can be handled in any reasonable format. The output can be in lowercase or uppercase. Trailing whitespace is acceptable. Leading whitespace is not.
  • If your program/function can't support large inputs, please specify it in your answer.
  • This is code golf, so the shortest answer in bytes wins.

You could've allowed multiple factors of 2, then made it so that increasing the number of factors changes the index at which the reversal starts. – mbomb007 – 2017-04-27T18:16:04.443

@mbomb007 Yes, there are many possible variants. My initial idea was to encode any word by working on groups of letters. – Arnauld – 2017-04-27T18:47:55.070

I'm curious as to how you assigned each number to a letter. Was it random, or did you have a specific pattern to it? – clismique – 2017-04-28T07:27:25.017

@Qwerp-Derp It was first randomly shuffled and tested against a dictionary of ~106K words, up to 11 letters (the file is on my HD for a long time -- I think it was originally extracted from the TWL). Then I forced 'S' to be either first or last to maximize plural words and tried a couple of individual letter exchanges on a good combination (recursively). Finally, I lost patience and wrote the challenge. :-) Actually, before all of this, I tried to take Letter Counts by Position Within Word into account but it wasn't all that great.

Thanks to @JonathanAllan for golfing off 1 byte!

Try it online!

Background

“¡3ḅḲ+Ṿɼ¡ẏƙẊƘ’

is a numeric literal. The characters between the quotes are replaced with their 1-based indices in the Jelly code page, and the resulting array is interpreted as a base-250 number. This yields the integer c := 288824892868083015619552399.

How it works

ÆEµØA“¡3ḅḲ+Ṿɼ¡ẏƙẊƘ’œ?xḊṚḢ}¡  Main link. Argument: n

ÆE                           Yield the exponents of n's prime factorization, with.
                             zeroes. This yields an array A.
  µ                          Begin a new monadic chain with argument A.
   ØA                        Set the return value to “ABC...XYZ”.
     “¡3ḅḲ+Ṿɼ¡ẏƙẊƘ’œ?        Select the c-th permutation of the alphabet, yielding
                             s := “SPMFLQUIXNCWORAGZTEJHVDBKY”.
                      Ḋ      Dequeue; yield A without its first element, stripping
                             the exponent of 2.
                     x       Repeat the k-th letter of s r times, where r is the
                             exponent of the k-th odd prime number.
                          ¡  Combine the two links to the left into a quicklink:
                        Ḣ}     - Apply head to the right argument (A), yielding the
                                 exponent of 2. Since n is at most divisible by the
                                 first power of 2, this yields 1 for even numbers
                                 and 0 for odd ones. Call the link to the left that
                                 many times on the previous return value.
                       Ṛ       - Reverse the string to the left.

I have a feeling that my compression of the list easily beats the other Jelly answer, but that my algorithm for using it could be a lot more efficient. Maybe I'll try to combine them.

Is inconsistent in whether it prints a trailing newline (but PPCG normally allows answers either with or without a trailing newline, so I guess this works too?). Is very slow (O(n) where n is the input, and those numbers aren't exactly small…)

Japt, 51 50 bytes

49 bytes of code, +1 for the -P flag.

%2?Uk :Uk Åw)£`yspmflquixncÙgz’jhvdbk`g#ho fj bX

Try it online!

This could be way shorter if only Japt had a couple more features...

Explanation

`yspmflquixncÙgz’jhvdbk` is just the same string everyone else is using compressed as much as Japt can compress it (3 bytes shorter than the original!). Japt's only built-in compression tool at the moment replaces common pairs of lowercase letter with a single-byte char.

So let's examine the actual code:

%2?Uk :Uk Å  w)
%2?Uk :Uk s1 w)
%2?             // If the input mod 2 is non-zero,
   Uk           //   take the prime factors of the input (U).
      :Uk       // Otherwise, take the prime factors of the input,
          s1 w  //   slice off the first one (2), and reverse.

Then £ is used to replace each item X in the result like this:

"string"g#h o fj bX
"string"g104o fj bX

         104o         // Create the range [0...104).
              fj      // Filter to only items Z where Z.j() is truthy (Z is prime).
                      // This results in the list of prime numbers from 2 to 103.
                 bX   // Take the index of X in this list.
"string"g             // Get the char in the compressed string at that index.
                      // For `y`, the index is 26, but since the string is only 26 chars
                      // long, Japt wraps around and grabs the first char in the string.

The result is an array of characters at this point, so the -P flag joins it into a single string, and the result is implicitly sent to output.

This could definitely by shorted some, but it's my attempt at solving it with no numbers or string literals. I realize this is a code-golf problem and this isn't exactly short but wanted to share anyway, not sure if this breaks any rules or not.

Was a lot of fun to make, I used the algorithm on this blog post to reduce the ASCII numerical representation of "SPMFLQUIXNCWORAGZTEJHVDBKY" in to the bit-shift expression I use. I also generally took a lot of inspiration from this blog, I wanted to try it out myself and this seemed like a good challenge to do it with.

Here is a slightly more readable version, with some more sensible variable names too
