Often, when storing a number in binary with some maximum, we simply round the maximum to the next power of two then allocate the number of bits nececairy to store the whole range. Lets call the result of this method \$S(x, m)\$ where x is the number and m is the maximum.

Generate two \$16 \times 16\$ grids, each initially filled with "@" symbols and spaces.

This ensures that both grids start off identically, wi... |
Chess960, a.k.a. Fisher random chess, is a variation of the game of chess.

Even though the concept of phat-fingered-lights-out number should be pretty self-explanatory here is a definition:

Tensor contraction is an operation that can be performed on a tensor. It is a generalization of the idea of the trace of a matrix.

Let's say I have this string:
s = "Code Golf! I love Code Golf. It is the best."
I want to replace all the vowels with repeated "aeiou".
Notes:
Uppercase vowels should be replaced by an uppercase letter, and lowercase vowels should be replaced by a lowercase letter.

Strassen's algorithm was the first method of matrix multiplication in subcubic time complexity, namely O(n**log2(7)) for a pair of n*n matrices (assuming the numbers therein are large enough that their O(n*log2(n)) exact multiplication has become the constraint on your performance, and any nested structures and functio... |
Challenge:
Given the input number n. It should give me nested sublists of n layers with the power of two numbers for each level. Each power of two value will be in separate sublists.
Notes:
n will always be greater than 0
I am using the example output with Python Lists. You can use any type of sequence in your own la... |
Challenge
Given a string of any length which contains only digits from 0 to 9, replace each consecutive run of the digit 0 with its length.
Test Cases
1234500362000440 → 1234523623441
123450036200044 → 123452362344
000000000000 → 12
0123456789 → 1123456789
1234567890 → 1234567891
123456789 → 123456789

Given an 8086 segmented ("logical") memory address, output its actual linear physical address.
A segmented memory address has format xxxx:xxxx, where each of x is one of 0-9A-F, and the two parts are parsed as hexadecimal integers. Both parts are exactly 4 digits.
To get its actual linear address, multiply the first pa... |

Challenge:
Given the input array l with a list of strings, only keep the elements in the sequence that have a letter that's repeated at least 3 times. Like 'lessons' has 3 s letters, so it should be kept in the sequence. But, 'lesson' has only two s letters, so it should be removed.
Notes:
l will always be a sequence,... |
