forth:

6 1 do i . ." I love archlinux" cr loop

edit0: meh language restriction -_- pfft
edit1: shorter than the zsh version though ^_^
edit2: just because:

echo I love archlinux | sed "s/^/1 /;:x;p;y/1234/2345/;s/[1-4]/&/;tx"

(started with a pure sed one, but that one would require an <cr> press to run.)

This is longer than the other Python ones, but oh well. This list comprehension works in Python 2.x.

print '\n'.join(['%i I love archlinux'%i for i in range(1,6)])

The following is shorter than the first Python entry in this thread, but it requires i to equal 1 prior to being run:

while i<6:print i,'I love archlinux';i+=1

The following throws an exception:

i=1;while i<6:print i,'I love archlinux';i+=1

I'm not surprised though. Python isn't designed for mind-boggling one-liners.

One very bad way to get rid of the newlines by `sed =`

yes [A[C I love archlinux|sed =\;5q

Still 37 characters

On the other hand sed 5q is shorter than head -n5. So

yes I love archlinux|sed 5q|cat -n

34 characters

edit: one more:

seq 5|sed 's/$/ I love archlinux/'

I never believed bash could be this simple

juster · 2010-02-14 08:00:22

Perl version, modifying Trent's:

You can remove the parenthesis from the range, requiring 1 less char for 37 chars:

warn"$_ I love archlinux\n"for 1..5

If we are allowed to use perl 5.10, we can use say for 33 chars:

say"$_ I love archlinux"for 1..5

Ramses de Norre · 2010-02-14 10:21:27

This is the shortest I get it in Haskell

putStr.unlines$[show x++" I love archlinux"|x<-[1..5]]

I think you're the only one that actually followed the rules and presented the desired output. Go ahead.

hatten · 2010-02-15 06:45:16

Why not Juster? What I could see of the rules it didn't state what version one have to use.

dmz · 2010-02-15 06:56:40

Yes, I'm sorry, missed that. Go ahead Juster.

hatten · 2010-02-15 14:29:08

1. When posting your reply, clearly say the amount of characters used.
2. When posting, and not using one of the desired languages, clearly announce that in the beginning. (Note: php is allowed, the link says it, but not the first post)
3. If you post a reply that you know ain't shorter than one of the earlier post, clearly announce that too.
4. Note if your code does not put out exactly the same outcome.
5. The code should not depend on anything else except for built in, default, functions.

Right now it's a hell to go through the post and check all of this. I'm a newbie when it comes to programming, and I'm not the first poster, so please change what's deemed necessary and put it in the first post. And I think we should allow more languages, if not all 'common' languages.

dptkby · 2010-02-16 08:45:45

Not an entry (just wanted to add an alternative Python 3 approach):

list(map(print,range(1,6),["I love Arch Linux"]*5))

This is actually a bit irritating; if I use Python 2 I can get rid of the list() function call, but then I have to add more code because print isn't a function in Python 2.
So, the best way I could come up with, which was this:

map(print,range(1,6),["I love Arch Linux"]*5)

... works partly in Python 2 and the rest of it works in Python 3 but it doesn't work completely in any of them .

bash. 8 chars.

codegolf

This calls a script called 'codegolf'.

Okay, so I cheated.

I'm surprised no one had OCAML yet!

for i = 1 to 5 do print_string ( (string_of_int i) ^ " I love archlinux\n" ) done;;

81 characters

I just reallized that it could be simplified to somthing like this:

    @echo $@" I love archlinux"
5:1 2 3 4

42 characters. I guess it is the answer to life, the universe and everything...

awkwood · 2010-02-16 21:57:12

Congratulations Juster!

Out of curiosity, does anyone have an unposted ruby version smaller than 41 chars?

Raf_kig's is 41, and all of the one's I've come up with are 41 too

Ruby 1.9.1

printf("%s I love archlinux\n"*5,*(1..5))

$><<"%s I love archlinux\n"*5%[1,2,3,4,5]

print (1..5).zip(" I love archlinux\n"*5)

juster · 2010-02-16 22:03:34

How about this for the next challenge. A little harder, not much. You will want to fill up 9 lines with "ArchLinux". Each line is wrapped at 78 columns (chars). The block of text should fit perfectly on 9 lines:

mclapdawg:~ juster$ ruby golf.rb
ArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLi
nuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArchLinuxArc

mclapdawg:~ juster$ cat golf.rb
A="ArchLinux"
txt = A*(78*9/A.length)
txt.scan(/.{78}/).each{|x| puts x}
mclapdawg:~ juster$ wc -c golf.rb
      73 golf.rb
mclapdawg:~ juster$

I was going to use terminal color codes too but thought better of it at the last minute. Hope this isn't too hard/easy!

edit: oops I had said 10 lines, but its 9

my python entry, 55 characters

puts ("ArchLinux"*78).scan /.{78}/

Not the smallest so far. 44 characters and written in bash:

seq -sArchlinux 79|sed s/[0-9]//g|fold -w78
