#array programming

[arbitrary-fascinations]

I've been having a lot of fun with a new programming language called Uiua. Here's an implementation of Conway's Game of Life that I wrote, and its output.

N is a function that computes the number of neighbors of every cell. L applies the rules of the Game of Life to every cell. U upscales the grid so that the cells are easier to see. The last two lines set up a 120x120 grid, seed it with a random distribution of live cells, and apply 200 steps of the Game of Life to it. The steps are automatically converted into frames of an animated GIF by the language.

N ← -∶≑≊'/+♭◫3_3↻¯1≑⋄~↻¯1⬚0↙+2△.. L ← ↯∶?(=1⌊÷2)(=3)∩♭⊃∘N∶△. U ← ⍉▽⊃∘'⍉▽↯⧻, <0.3↯∶[⍥⚂]⊃×⊂.120 ∺U4⇌[⍥'L.200]

in early january 2024, a group of motivated individuals asked arthur whitney to demonstrate the fundamentals of the design, organization and style of his method of writing interpreters in c in the most succinct and approachable way. about a day later, arthur offered a tiny interpreter of a toy vector language, implemented in about 25 lines of c with a small header file. his code is published in this repository under /ref.

Google Sheets For Business

Google Sheets offers a large number of Functions in order to do calculations regarding specific values. Each Google Sheets function requires the user to follow a specific order, called Syntax. A basic Syntax requires an equal sign (=), a function name, and an argument. Functions are described in detail below.
