A collection of one-liner Python answers on some online code challenges.
The idea of this repository came when I challenged shinez1997 to resolve code problems on binarysearch.com with only one line of Python code. He is better than me in every aspect of coding, and this is only way I can beat him somehow.
- The answer is on the same line with the
return. - No module is imported except defaults by code challenge platforms.
- Must not reach the TLE of the code challenge platform.
- Hacks, tricks, or whatever that fits in one line and pass the tests is accepted.
Example:
# functools is imported by default
class Solution: # default by online judge
def minAddToMakeValid(self, s: str) -> int: # default by online judge
# answer fit in one line
return len(functools.reduce(lambda c1, c2: c2 if not c1 else c1[:-1] if c2==")" and c1[-1] == "(" else c1 + c2, s)) if s else len(s)- Just don't.
- When you hate your future self.
- When you hate your company, you are willing to leave, you want your product run but be unmaintainable.
- When the challenge is too simple to you, you want to make life complicate.
- Many of the answers are not really 1-liner Python code, as they use functions from libraries.
- Many of the answers are not the best optimized answers. They just fit under the requirement of the problem's Execute Time Limit.
- Code challenge websites usually import some default Python libraries, but the list may vary between sites.
