All of these output 60.

Should the 3rd program say:

([[[^>]*[<^]]-[v>]])(#)(X)

?

Did you miss a set of square brackets?

If not, is there any difference between your 3rd program above and my version of it with the extra pair of square brackets?

And what does this print please?

(@)(X)(#)([[[[[v]*[o]]+[<^]]*[[[v>]*[>]]+[<v]]*[[[^]*[>]*[v]]+[<v]]]+[>]])



I'm pretty sure I've got the square brackets figured out (I'm using a laptop which makes it harder), but the ()'s are still leaving me confused.

I was hoping to get a response before I had to leave. I'll be away from the net for a week now, so I'll post what I think I know:

You hit everything on the money, just need to figure out (@). And yes, (X) is exit, you you need to figure out why that would work the way that program does.



Edit: I guess the numbers in the two programs are the same with or without extra brackets, but yours might be better coding I guess. No real difference though.

How's this?

(@)

If not that, then what does this produce?
(@)(X)(#)([<])(#)([>])

Also, (v) and (^)


(Sorry, I didn't notice this had been sitting for a month. If the previous game timed out, I could start it again, if anyone's interested...)

So no one is interested in picking this game up again?
