Challenge:Smallest $duration()
Started: May 29th, 2001
Ends: June 3rd, 2001

In this challenge, you are asked to re-create the $duration identifier, the winner will be determined on the smallest file size. It must work exactly like $duration, except you don't have to support going backwards (eg, $duration(1min 32secs)).

More rules:
  • You can not use mIRC's $duration identifier.
  • The name of your alias must be 'dur'.
  • One submission per person.
  • Must be submitted as one script file named <yourname>_duration.mrc. (e.g. fubar_duration.mrc)
  • Must be an alias file.

    Entries were judged on the smallest code size. Valid entries had extra carriage returns and linefeeds, that are added by mIRC, removed.

    Challenge Entries:

    There were 32 entries submitted, 13 valid and 19 invalid. Disqualified entries are not shown.

    Winner!

    dur %t = $1 | return $iif(!%t,0secs,$s(604800,wk) $s(86400,day) $s(3600,hr) $s(60,min) $s(1,sec))
s %x = $int($calc(%t /$1)) | %t = %t % $1 | if (%x) return %x $+ $2 $+ $iif(%x > 1,s)

    How he did it:

  • He created the $s() identifier, which saved a lot of space since there was no code that was repeated.
  • Since he stored the seconds in global %t and saved the calculations (%t = %t % $1), he didn't have to do several calculations on $1 over and over.
  • He used $+ $iif(%x > 1,s) inside of the $s() identifier, which made appending the trailing "s" use little space.

    Notes: Some entries may fail on more than just the number listed -- testing was stopped the first time it failed. Also, entries that were invalid may not have the exact byte size shown, due to mIRC possibly adding extra whitespace.
