>>14290517>>14290204>>14289606how would a shorter program be written? im no scientist actually, but i assume this challange really depends on the programming language or even further than that, the physical architecture of your computer. there probably are many languages which have this thing as a built in function, but that doesnt mean its faster or efficient. i assume computers register words and letters in ways which can somehow be distinguished like the first bit of a string indicates if its a letter or number or something.
is this really about writing the program with the least amount of letters, or what exactly is that image making fun of?
