- Two Character Base 250 Number Literal
Characters: ⁽
The beginners' page has a more thorough explanation of Jelly syntax and tokenization.
Functionality
Begins a two character base-250 number literal.
Details
Each character is mapped to its index in Jelly's codepage, where ¡
is 1
and ż
is 250
, and then the digits are evaluated in base 250. If the result is larger than 31500
, subtract 62580
; otherwise, add 750
. This is to avoid wasting space representing numbers that can already be represented in three digits, or 1000
, which can be represented by ȷ
(Exponential Number Literal). See the integer compression tool for more information and for a tool to automatically compress number literals. Also see “
