Description:
In this challenge, you are asked to create an alias that will
'redistribute' the given 'liquids' so that each 'container' is filled to its maximum capacity.
Simple example
$redist(4,a2,a2,a2) = a4 a2
Let's take a look at the above example. You have been given an unlimited amount of new, unfilled containers, each can hold 4 units ($1). You have been given 3 containers, each holding 2 units of liquid 'a' ($2-) so a
total of 6 units of liquid 'a'. If I was to redistribute the liquids so that as many containers were filled to their maximum capacity as possible (4) -- I would get a4 a2.
Specifications
Input:
- $1 will always be a whole number >= 1 (representing the maximum capacity of a container)
- $2 will always be a letter from a-z (lowercase) followed by a whole number >= 1 (representing a container, a liquid within it and how many units of that liquid are in it)
- Amount of liquid in the single container $2- MAY be more than $1
- There can be infintely more parameters following the same format as $2 representing other containers
- In $2-, there may be multiple types of liquids, it must support something like $redist(3,a4,b3,b2,a2) (which is a3 a3 b3 b2)
Output:
- Must return all the liquids in containers that are filled to $1 and if is any liquid left over, a separate container for that too eg. $redist(4,a2,a2,a2) -> a4 a2 NOT a4
- Each container should be space delimited, with the type of liquid first, followed by the amount of units that container may hold
- The containers may be returned in any order, e.g. $redist(4,a3,a3) -> 'a4 a2' OR 'a2 a4' (all examples above may have other combinations that I didn't specify)
- Update: your alias can return either upper case or lower case output
Example:
$redist(4,a2,a2,a2) = a4 a2
$redist(4,x3,x3,x3) = x4 x4 x1
$redist(4,a1,a1) = a2
$redist(8,k3,k6,k4,k9) = k8 k8 k6
$redist(111,m145,z54,m195,m12,z64) = m111 m111 m111 m19 z111 z7
$redist(2,b50) = b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2
$redist(4,a4,a3,a7,b2,b8,d5,d9,e2,e3,e1,a2,c4,c3) = a4 a4 a4 a4 b4 b4 b2 c4 c3 d4 d4 d4 d2 e4 e2
$redist(18315031,a13853102,a1375135,a15385325,b10857135,b1249531,b14752495) = a18315031 a12298531 b18315031 b8544130
, the above examples are just returned in alphabetical order.
Your alias does not have to match the output as long as all the tokens are returned.
Rules:
- Tested in a clean, offline mIRC 6.35
- Will be loaded in ALIASES section (i.e "redist {" -- NOT "alias redist {"
- MUST HAVE closing bracket -- if not supplied it WILL be added on
- No COMs, DLLs, or sockets
- Alias must give correct results after consecutive runs
- As stated before, the alias must work in THEORY with any numbers/amount of parameters.
Obviously mIRC's calculation and line-length limits prevent it from practically working with any number but if these limits didn't exist, the alias would be able to support things like $redist(2,a108235171208457213850135)
