Yeah. I'm trying to do the impossible.

How do you convert a string into a single distinguishable number and back again?

The current code I have for encoding is:

Code: [Select]

DelVar A
Input Str1
sub(length(Str1->A
For(X,1,length(Str1
A+2^inString("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_"sub(Str1,X,1->A
End
Disp A

EDIT: FYI, the string "OMNIMAGA" would produce 66180.08.
Now, you would think that that is pretty distinguishable, right?
Wrong.

Comments? Questions?

Yay!!! New Puzzle for me!!!!~~~ I'm with you to the quest of finding the solution

Builderboy · « **Reply #2 on:** November 06, 2009, 10:53:04 am »

Well for now I am going to point out where you are going wrong, but I'll leave the rest up to you (unless you insist you really need help

) Lets say the word is AB. So 2^1 + 2^2 = 2+4 = 6. Yay! But since we are adding two numbers into the same digit, we can't know if it is 2+4 or 4+2. The problem here is that new Characters ovewrite and change previous digits, and that needs to not happen

jsj795 · « **Reply #3 on:** November 06, 2009, 02:31:09 pm »

Yeah... You know what I figured??? The probability of 7 character combination is 8,031,810,176 possibility,
since there are 26 characters, you do 26^length of word
It's really big number, and after 8th character, the calculator rounds

Builderboy · « **Reply #4 on:** November 06, 2009, 03:06:31 pm »

Actualy its 14 digits. The calculator only displays 8 tho

Raylin · « **Reply #5 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:07:06 pm »

So, what are you trying to say, Builderboy? Are you saying that 2^X isn't distinguishable enough to be decoded? Or are you saying that the encoding process is wrong?

And, yes, I really need your help.

Builderboy · « **Reply #6 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:43:18 pm »

Well let me first put this out. The calculator only stores 14 digits, and each digit can range from 0 to 9. That is 10^14 states. That many states can only hold nine 26 state characters. Meaning the largest word you can compress will be 5 letters or less. And that is with fantastic compression that would probably involve changing of bases

This is the way I would do it, which would be 7 characters per number:

If you have a number, with 14 digits, it looks like this
##############

And any character can be represented by a 2 digit number 00-25. So divide up the digits
##|##|##|##|##|##|##

Where each set of digits converts to a character in a string. This method gives you a fair 77% of the possible information able to be stored in a single number though. But you can do any character from 0-99, so that is a bonus.

Hmm...

expr(sub("E14E12E101E81E61E41E2",3X-2,3))inString("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",sub(Str1,X,1)) ?

Builderboy · « **Reply #8 on:** November 06, 2009, 06:54:49 pm »

I'm assuming the E represents the little Scientific notation E?

You could simplify to 10^(2X) or something of the like

Raylin · « **Reply #9 on:** November 06, 2009, 07:00:46 pm »

10^(2X)?

That seems like a bit much. Care to explain?

And, yes, it represents the little scientific E. :p

EDIT: Oh. Ha. I'm a retard. I get it.

EDIT 2: YES! Encoding finished! Working on decoding.

EDIT 3: Having issues with decoding.

Code: [Select]

"?->Str1
For(X,1,dim(L1
DelVar (theta)DelVar BL1(X->A
Repeat B
If not(int(10^((theta))(exponent -1)A
1->B
Pause (theta)
(theta)+1(not(B->(theta)
End
For(C,(theta)-2,0,-2
27+(C<0)int(10^(C)(exponent -1)A->D
Pause D
Str1+sub("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_",D,1->Str1
fPart(10^((theta)-2)(exponent -1)A->A
End
End
"sub(Str1,2,length(Str1)-1
Pause Str1

Do you see what I'm trying to do here?
It refuses to work though.
What am I missing here?

jsj795 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 06, 2009, 10:31:57 pm »

I actually am working on this, and is almost done... I just need to work on decoding.
I will upload it as soon as I'm finished.
Or may be just put the code

Raylin · « **Reply #11 on:** November 06, 2009, 10:35:14 pm »

Thanks, man. It's nice to know that I have a wingman on this project.

EDIT: Finished! WOO!
Man, that thing was a beast to accomplish.

You guys want the code?

Raylin · « **Reply #12 on:** November 07, 2009, 12:38:18 pm »

Double-post again. Sorry.

(DJ Omnimaga, if the post is getting marked new, then why is the topic not going up to the top? Why is the time not changing?)

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #13 on:** November 07, 2009, 01:29:03 pm »

Because the post isn't any newer. It will still be marked as new, but will still be sorted by date. Lately there were a lot of posts, though, so it might be slightly harder to notice through the latest post list.

jsj795 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 07, 2009, 01:36:58 pm »

Yeah!! I finished it too!!!!!!! My program will code and decode upto 10 programs accurately.
Coding takes 106 Bytes and Decoding takes 177 Bytes, when I set the program name to 1 character.
I probably can optimize it tho. ProphetsDementia, you wanna compare the programs???
I'll post the code first~

Coding:

Code: [Select]

:0->C
:Input Str1->A
:For(X,1,A
:inString("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",sub(Str1,X,1->B
:C+B(26^(A-X->C
:End
:C->A
:DelVar BDelVar CDelvar Str1Disp A

Decoding:

Code: [Select]

:" ->Str1 //1 space
:Input C
:C->B
:0->A
:Repeat B<=0
:A+1->A
:B-26^A->B
:End
:For(X,A-1,0,-1
:0->B
:Repeat C<=26^X or B=26
:B+1->B
:C-26^X->C
:End
:If X=0 and C=1
:B+1->B
:Str1+sub("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",B,1->Str1
:End
:sub(Str1,2,A->Str1
:DelVar ADelVar BDelVar CDisp Str1

The decoding happened pretty much by luck, I just put random codes in and hoped that it to work properly
