Superstitious Programming

Question

Your challenge is extremely simple. Given a year as input, print all the months in that year that will contain a Friday the 13th according to the Gregorian calendar. Note that even though the Gregorian Calendar wasn't introduced until 1582, for simplicity's sake we will pretend that it has been in use since 0001 AD.

Rules

• Full programs or functions are allowed.

• You can take input as function arguments, from STDIN, or as command line arguments.

• You are not allowed to use any date and time builtins.

• You can safely assume that the input will be a valid year. If the input is smaller than 1, not a valid integer, or larger than your languages native number type, you do not have to handle this, and you get undefined behaviour.

• Output can be numbers, in English, or in any other human readable format, so long as you specify the standard.

• Make sure you account for leap-years. And remember, leap-years do not happen every 4 years!

Tips

Since there are so many different ways to go about this, I don't want to tell you how to do it. However, it might be confusing where to start, so here are a couple different reliable ways of determining the day of the week from a date.

• Conway's doomsday-algorithm

• Pick a start date with a known day of the week, such as Monday, January 1st, 0001 and find how far apart the two days are, and take that number mod 7.

• Gauss's Algorithm

• A variation on Gauss's Algorithm

• Any of these methods

Sample IO

2016 --> May
0001 --> 4, 7
1997 --> Jun
1337 --> 09, 12
123456789 --> January, October

As usual, this is code-golf, so standard-loopholes apply, and shortest answer wins.

Using the Gauss-Algorithm, like in my Python answer. ~55 bytes of the code are for the weekday calculation, so choosing a better algorithm could get this down by a lot I suppose...but hey, at least its working now! :)

Answer 2

Python 2, 157 144 136 Bytes

My solution uses the Gauss-Algorithm. Input is the year as Integer. Output is the list of months with a friday 13th as numbers (1-12). Probably some more golfing possible, but its getting late... Gonna edit this one tomorrow und get this down a bit more. Suggestions are always welcome in the meantime!

def f(i):y=lambda m:(i-1,i)[m>2];print[m for m in range(1,13)if(13+int(2.6*((m-2)%12,12)[m==2]-.2)+y(m)%4*5+y(m)%100*4+y(m)%400*6)%7==5]

edit: Got it down to 144 by replacing the for-loop with a list comprehesion und making some other small adjustments.

edit2: Golfed it down to 136 with the suggestions from Morgan Thrapp and fixed the bug he discovered. Thanks a lot! :)

Answer 3

Perl - 141 107 103 bytes

$y=<>-1;map{$y++if++$i==3;print"$i "if($y+int($y/4)-int($y/100)+int($y/400))%7==$_}'634163152042'=~/./g

This uses a modified version of the formula for the Julian day to calculate the day of the week of March 13th, then uses the number of days of the week each month is offset from January to find the day of the week for the rest of the months, starting with the last 2 months of the previous year beginning in March then the first 10 months of the current year (to avoid calculating leap years twice).

Answer 4

C - 164 153 112 bytes

I found a nice little solution using a heavily modified version of Schwerdtfeger's method. It encodes the necessary table in an integer using base 7, modified to fit in a signed 32-bit word. It outputs the month as an ASCII-character, with January encoded as 1, February as 2 and so on, with October encoded as :, November encoded as ; and December encoded as <.

t=1496603958,m;main(y){for(scanf("%d",&y),y--;(y%100+y%100/4+y/100%4*5+t+5)%7||putchar(m+49),t;t/=7)2-++m||y++;}

Here it is slightly ungolfed:

t=1496603958,m;
main(y){
  for(
    scanf("%d",&y),y--;
    (y%100+y%100/4+y/100%4*5+t+5)%7||putchar(m+49),t;
    t/=7
  )
    2-++m||y++;
}

I am sure there are a few ways to make it even smaller, but I think the algorithm, or a slight variation thereof, is nearly ideal for finding the months where Friday the 13th occurs (with respect to code size). Notes:

1. If a 64-bit word could have been used it would be possible to get rid of an annoying addition (+5).
2. The variable m isn't actually necessary, since the month we are looking at is deducible from t.

I leave my older answer below, seeing as it uses a completely different method not seen in other answers here.

---

This is based on a solution to a related problem (https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/22531/7682).

Y,M,D,d;main(y){for(scanf("%d",&y);Y<=y;++D>28+(M^2?M+(M>7)&1^2:!(Y&3)&&(Y%25||!(Y&15)))&&(D=1,M=M%12+1)<2&&Y++)(d=++d%7)^1||D^13||y^Y||printf("%d,",M);}

It basically simulates the Gregorian calendar, advancing one day at a time, printing the month when it is a Friday and the 13th. Here it is in a slightly more readable form:

Y,M,D,d;
main(y){
  for(
    scanf("%d",&y);
    Y<=y;
    ++D>28+(
      M^2
        ?M+(M>7)&1^2
        :!(Y&3)&&(Y%25||!(Y&15))
    )&&(
      D=1,
      M=M%12+1
    )<2&&Y++
  )
    (d=++d%7)^1||D^13||y^Y||
      printf("%d,",M);
}

Takes input year in A1. Output is non-separated list of Hexidecimal. (January = 0, December = B)

Uses Gauss's Algorithm for January and August.
