- Dictionary-Compressed String Terminator
Characters: »
The beginners' page has a more thorough explanation of Jelly syntax and tokenization.
Functionality
Terminate a dictionary-compressed string.
Details
Rather than being evaluated literally, the characters are converted into a base-250 integer and converted to a string using Jelly's decompression function, sss
. You can convert strings to their compressed form using the online tool, which also explains the compression/decompression algorithm. For example, “3ḅaė;œ»
evaluates to Hello, World!
and “½ċṭ6 Ỵ“Ñ'ȯ6JƓ3»
evaluates to ["caird coinheringaahing", "Coding Challenges"]
.
