Fondo

Tengo una escalera apoyada en una pared y un robot a control remoto que puede subirla. Puedo enviar tres comandos diferentes al robot:

• UP: el robot da un paso hacia arriba. Si estaba en el escalón más alto, se tropieza, se cae y explota.
• DOWN: el robot da un paso hacia abajo. Si estaba en el escalón más bajo, no pasa nada.
• RESET: el robot vuelve al paso más bajo.

También puedo enviar una serie de comandos, y el robot los ejecutará uno por uno. Su tarea es predecir sus movimientos.

Entrada

Sus entradas son un número entero positivo N, que representa el número de pasos en la escalera, y una cadena no vacía Csobre UDR, que representa a los comandos que he enviado al robot. Puedes asumir eso N < 1000. El robot se inicializa en el escalón más bajo de la escalera.

Salida

Se garantiza que en algún momento, el robot trepará por el escalón más alto y explotará. Su salida es la cantidad de comandos que ejecuta antes de que esto suceda.

Ejemplo

Considere las entradas N = 4y C = "UDDUURUUUUUUUDDDD" El robot, denotado por @, se mueve a lo largo de la escalera de 4 pasos de la siguiente manera:

|-|   |-|   |-|   |-|   |-|   |-|   |-|   |-|   |-|   |@|   |-||
|-|   |-|   |-|   |-|   |-|   |@|   |-|   |-|   |@|   |-|   |-||
|-|   |@|   |-|   |-|   |@|   |-|   |-|   |@|   |-|   |-|   |-|v
|@| U |-| D |@| D |@| U |-| U |-| R |@| U |-| U |-| U |-| U |-|# Boom!

Los comandos restantes no se ejecutan, ya que el robot ha explotado. La explosión tuvo lugar después de 10 comandos, por lo que la salida correcta es 10.

Reglas y puntaje

Puede escribir un programa completo o una función. El conteo de bytes más bajo gana, y las lagunas estándar no se permiten.

(n,s,i=0)=>[for(c of s)if(i<n)c<'E'?i&&i--:c>'T'?i++:i=0].length

Cómo funciona

Primero configuramos la variable ia 0. Esto hará un seguimiento de cuántos pasos ha subido el robot. Luego, para cada carácter cen la cadena de entrada, ejecutamos la siguiente lógica:

1. Si ies mayor o igual que n, no haga nada.
2. Si ces "D":
   • Si ies 0, déjalo como está.
   • De lo contrario, disminuya en 1.
3. Si ces así "U", incremente ien 1.
4. De lo contrario, establezca ien 0.

Al cortar si i>=n, evitamos agregar más elementos a la matriz después de que el robot haya alcanzado la cima. Por lo tanto, simplemente podemos devolver la longitud de la matriz resultante.

Pruébalo en línea!

Explicación

La posición está basada en 0. Cada nueva posición se empuja a la pila manteniendo las posiciones más antiguas. Entonces, el tamaño de la pila representa el número de movimientos hasta ahora, más 1.

Se usa un bucle para procesar cada comando. El ciclo se cierra cuando la posición alcanza la altura de la escalera y procesa todos los comandos, incluso después de la explosión (idea tomada de la respuesta de Martin ). El resultado final viene dado por el índice de la primera posición que iguala la altura de la escalera.

O             % push a 0: initial position (0-based)
j             % take first input (commands) as a string
"             % for each command
  t           %   duplicate current position
  @           %   push command
  4\          %   modulo 4. This gives 1, 2, 0 for 'U','R', 'D'
  1=?         %   if result equals 1 (command 'U')
    Q         %     increase position by 1
  }           %   else
    6M?       %     if result was nonzero (command 'R')
      x0      %       delete current position and push 0
    }         %     else (command 'D')
      q       %       decrement by 1

Una ligera actualización de mi ¿ Cuándo entra Santa en el sótano? responder.

Toma entrada $ay $b, explícitamente, convierte $bcomo char-array. Luego hacemos un bucle con |%{...}todo $b. Cada iteración incrementamos nuestro contador $d.

Luego, una ifdeclaración para verificar si hemos llegado a la cima con -ge$a. Si es así, sacamos $dy exit. La ifdeclaración se construye a partir de un pseudoternario creado mediante la asignación de $cmenos igual al resultado de varios índices en una matriz.

Tenemos un truco que los valores ASCII de D, Ry Ucorresponden a 0, 2y 1cuando se toma en módulo 4, por lo que $_%4sirve como nuestro primer índice. Si es así R, eso $cequivale a $c-$chacer el reinicio. Si U, eso significa que tenemos que subir, entonces el $c-(-1)resultado. De lo contrario es unD , por lo que debemos verificar si ya estamos en la parte inferior (ese es el !$c- en PowerShell, "no cero" es "verdadero" o 1) y establecer $cigual $c-0o $c-1respectivamente.

 .u             z0    reduce z: for each char Y in z manipulate N = 0 with:
    [        )           create a list with
     tWNN                  * N-1 if N>0 else N

   @          CY         replace N by the ord(Y)-th element (mod 4)
 .u                   .u give us a list with all intermediate values of N

No hay advertencias con gcc -Wall . Recursión y expresiones separadas por comas.

r.c contiene función desnuda:

int r(int N,int n,int s,char*C){return*C&&s<=N?s+=*C&2?-s:*C&1?1:-1,r(N,n+1,s?s:1,C+1):n;}

Comentado

int r(int N,   // number of steps on ladder
      int n,   // result, seed with 0
      int s,   // current step, seed with 1
      char *C  // command string
      )
{
    return *C&&s<=N ?  // still reading commands and still on ladder?
       s+=                // increment step value by...
        *C&2?             // bit test if 'R' but not 'U' or 'D'.
         -s               // negate to 0, will set to 1 in call if needed
         :*C&1?           // Not 'R', is it 'U'?
            1             // 'U', add 1
            :-1,          // Must be 'D', subtract 1
       r(N,n+1,s?s:1,C+1) // Recursive call, and fix case where s==0.
      :n;                 // end of string or fell off ladder
}

Para referencia,

'U'.charCodeAt(0).toString(2)
"1010101"
'D'.charCodeAt(0).toString(2)
"1000100"
'R'.charCodeAt(0).toString(2)

(d=#~Max~1-1&;u=#+1&;r=1&;s=StringToStream@ToLowerCase@#;l=1;t=1;While[(l=ToExpression[s~Read~Character]@l)<=#2,t++];t)&

Función anónima, que toma los dos argumentos (C, N). Tenga cuidado al usar esto, ya que no cierra la secuencia que abre. También asigna todas sus variables a nivel mundial.

Editado para reemplazar d=#-1&con d=#~Max~1-1&, para que Robie no vaya a cavar.

Clojure, 92 84 bytes

Cuenta na cero en lugar de cero a n, puede utilizar take-while pos?.

#(count(take-while pos?(reductions(fn[p o](if o(min(o p 1)%)%))%(map{\U -\D +}%2))))

Original:

#(count(take-while(partial > %)(reductions(fn[p o](if o(max(o p 1)0)0))0(map{\U +\D -}%2))))

Asigna el segundo argumento Ua +, Day -otros nil. La función de reducción se ejecuta (operand position 1)con no nulo operandy de 0otro modo. Toma valores hasta que somos más altos que el primer argumento de entrada y cuenta cuántos tenemos.

(p=i=0;While[p<#,p=Switch[#2[[++i]],"U",p+1,"D",1~Max~p-1,_,0]];i)&

Funciones sin nombre de dos argumentos, un entero positivo y una lista de caracteres, que devuelve un entero positivo. Una Whileimplementación más sencilla que las otras entradas de Mathematica, que logra dar como resultado una duración más competitiva.
