git mv *.hint -> README.md
There is one exception:
$ find . -name '*.hint' -execdir git mv '{}' README.md \;
git statufatal: destination exists, source=1992/albert/albert.hint, destination=1992/albert/README.md
Looking at the two files they differ quite a bit so I've not changed it.
I'll bring this up on GitHub.

Judges' comments:
|
||||
|
||||
To run:
|
||||
make vanb
|
||||
./vanb 'exp'
|
||||
|
||||
where:
|
||||
'exp' an octal expression
|
||||
|
||||
The octal expression may contain:
|
||||
|
||||
unary operators: +, -
|
||||
binary operators +, -, *, /, %
|
||||
hex numbers: x or X follow by hex digits
|
||||
decimal numbers: d or D follow by decimal digits
|
||||
octal numbers: octal digits
|
||||
grouping: ()
|
||||
|
||||
No spaces are allowed in the expression. To avoid shell expansion,
|
||||
one should surround the expression in single quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a good thing that this program consists of only one
|
||||
expression, otherwise it might become hard to understand. :-)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Selected notes from the author:
|
||||
|
||||
The program does no error checking - erroneous expressions will
|
||||
produce spurious results. Note that unary '-' is an operator. Thus,
|
||||
decimal -46 would be entered as -d46 and not d-46.
|
||||
|
||||
What Makes This Program Special:
|
||||
|
||||
0) Of course, the fact that the program takes input and produces output
|
||||
in octal, rather than a more useful system like decimal, makes
|
||||
it "special".
|
||||
|
||||
1) The entire program consists of a single expression, returned from main.
|
||||
|
||||
2) There are no global or local variables other than the parameters
|
||||
to main
|
||||
|
||||
3) All of the constants in the program are expressed in octal - including
|
||||
the printf string.
|
||||
|
||||
4) The variables are given names which cause visual confusion with the
|
||||
octal constants.
|
||||
|
||||
5) The program is formatted like a roman numeral 8. The significance of
|
||||
8 is obvious. I chose roman numerals because it is a numbering
|
||||
system even more arcane than octal. It's not very 'deceptive',
|
||||
but it's difficult to deceptively format a program which has no
|
||||
explicit control structures (other than ?:'s).
|
||||
|
||||
6) Many simple tasks are done many times. I tried to do these differently
|
||||
each time, to make the program harder to understand.
|
||||
|
||||
How It Works:
|
||||
|
||||
It's a recursive descent parser, calling main
|
||||
for all of its recursion. O2 is a state variable, telling main
|
||||
what grammar non-terminal to parse. **O7 is the next character.
|
||||
O3 is an intermediate result. Whenever you see a construct like:
|
||||
|
||||
!(expression with O2)?
|
||||
|
||||
it's decrementing & testing O2 to see what state it's in. Comparisons
|
||||
involving **O7 and octal constants are looking for certain characters.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's the grammar ('e' denotes the empty string) :
|
||||
|
||||
<E> ::= <T><E'>
|
||||
<E'> ::= +<T><E'> | -<T><E'> | e
|
||||
<T> ::= <F><T'>
|
||||
<T'> ::= *<F><T'> | /<F><T'> | %<F><T'> | e
|
||||
<F> ::= +<F> | -<F> | (<E><C> | d<D> | D<D> | x<X> | X<X> | <O>
|
||||
<C> ::= )
|
||||
<D> ::= [0-9]<D> | e
|
||||
<X> ::= [0-9]<X> | [A-F]<X> | [a-f]<X> | e
|
||||
<O> ::= [0-7]<O> | e
|
||||
|
||||
Here's how the grammar nonterminals map to octal state numbers:
|
||||
|
||||
<E> is 012
|
||||
<E'> is 011
|
||||
<T> is 010
|
||||
<T'> is 07
|
||||
<F> is 06
|
||||
<C> is 013
|
||||
<D> is 04
|
||||
<X> is 05
|
||||
<O> is 03
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a version of the program before it got formatted into the VIII,
|
||||
augmented with comments showing where each state begins. N1 and N2 are
|
||||
notes:
|
||||
|
||||
#define O5 main
|
||||
O5(O2,O7,O3)char**O7;
|
||||
{
|
||||
return
|
||||
/* N1 */ !(O2+=~01+01) ?
|
||||
00:
|
||||
/* N2 */ !(O2-=02>01) ?
|
||||
printf("\045\157\012",O5(012,O7+01,00)):
|
||||
/* O */ !(O2-=02>>01) ?
|
||||
(**O7<=067 && **O7>057 ? O5(03,O7,*(*O7)++-060+010*O3):O3):
|
||||
/* D */ !(O2-=-O3-~O3) ?
|
||||
(072>**O7 && 060<=**O7 ? O5(04,O7,012*O3-060+*(*O7)++):O3):
|
||||
/* X */ !(O2-=!O3+!!O3) ?
|
||||
(**O7>057 && **O7<=071 ? O5(05,O7,*(*O7)+++O3*020-060):
|
||||
**O7<=0106 && 0101<=**O7 ? O5(05,O7,020*O3+*(*O7)++-067):
|
||||
0140<**O7 && **O7<0147 ? O5(05,O7,-0127+*(*O7)+++020*O3):O3):
|
||||
/* F */ !(O2-=02-01) ?
|
||||
(**O7==050 ? 050**++*O7,O5(013,O7,O5(012,O7,00)):
|
||||
**O7<056 && 054<**O7 ? 055**++*O7,-O5(06,O7,00):
|
||||
054>**O7 && 052<**O7 ? 050**(*O7)++,O5(06,O7,00):
|
||||
!(**O7^0170)||!(0130^**O7) ? *++*O7,O5(05,O7,00):
|
||||
**O7==0144||**O7==0104 ? ++*O7,O5(04,O7,00):O5(03,O7,00)):
|
||||
/* T' */ !--O2 ?
|
||||
(**O7==052 ? O5(07,O7,O3*(*++*O7,O5(06,O7,00))):
|
||||
!(045-**O7) ? O5(07,O7,O3%(03+(*O7)++,O5(06,O7,00))):
|
||||
!(**O7^057) ? O5(07,O7,O3/(03-*++*O7,O5(06,O7,00))):O3):
|
||||
/* T */ !(O2+=01-02) ?
|
||||
O5(07,O7,O5(06,O7,00)):
|
||||
/* E' */ !(O2+=-02/02) ?
|
||||
(!(**O7-053)?O5(011,O7,O3+(++*O7,O5(010,O7,00))):
|
||||
!(055^**O7) ? O5(011,O7,O3-(03+*(*O7)++,O5(010,O7,00))):O3):
|
||||
/* E */ !(O2-=0563&0215) ?
|
||||
O5(011,O7,O5(010,O7,00)):
|
||||
/* C */ (++*O7,O3);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Note N1: It should never enter this state, unless the user invokes the
|
||||
program with no parameters, in which case it just returns 0.
|
||||
|
||||
Note N2: Since the program is properly invoked with 1 parameter, this is
|
||||
the first state it will go into. This state just invokes
|
||||
printf, and sends the parser to state 012 (which is <E>).
|
||||
|
||||
The E and T states work like this:
|
||||
|
||||
int e(){ return eprime( t() ); }
|
||||
|
||||
The E' and T' states work like this:
|
||||
|
||||
int eprime( int intermediate )
|
||||
{
|
||||
if( ch == '+' )
|
||||
{
|
||||
ch = nextchar();
|
||||
return eprime( intermediate + t() );
|
||||
}
|
||||
else return intermediate;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
The D, X and O states work like this (they assume that they're initially
|
||||
called with 0):
|
||||
|
||||
int octal( int intermediate )
|
||||
{
|
||||
if( ch>='0' && ch<='7' )
|
||||
{
|
||||
intermediate = intermediate * 8 + ch - '0';
|
||||
ch = nextchar();
|
||||
return octal( intermediate );
|
||||
}
|
||||
else return intermediate;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
F and C work similarly.
