Jun 18, 2014 at 10:36 comment added mai @Matt, clarified - only Latin letters are used from the input. If consonants or vowels are missing, use 0 instead. The sum should progress, until it's <=9. E.g. 103 consonants, 5 vowels: 103+5=108, 1+0+8=9. Then, Shift+9='('

Jun 4, 2014 at 2:35 comment added Matt Does Rule 2 mean ONLY vowels/consonants to be used from input? What about symbols *@#$ etc. Depending on that answer, potentially clarify Rule 5 regarding symbol input. As for Step 3 in the hash, should that progress further, similar to my Appended Numbers game so 103 consonants and 5 vowels would follow as 103+5 = 108, 1+0+8/10+8, etc.?
May 28, 2014 at 14:00 comment added mai @m.buettner I agree with you. Nevertheless, there will solutions provided in other languages as well (there always are). And I would like the authors of those solutions to think about the best approach in their language of choice without depending on libraries like Linq.
May 28, 2014 at 13:47 comment added mai Hmm.. I don't know how to write it the best way. mscorlib is included by default so that is permissible. I don't want the code to use other libraries as Linq as it's less fun.

May 28, 2014 at 13:32 comment added Peter Taylor 1. Strictly speaking, in .Net you don't have strings without libraries. The string keyword is syntactic sugar for a class in mscorlib. 2. As things currently stand, your rule 1 strictly prohibits something and then says what to do if you ignore that prohibition. This is illogical. It's also unclear what "that" in "please inlcude that in characters count" means. Does it mean that each submission should be a program as opposed to a code snippet? If so, state it explicitly.
May 28, 2014 at 13:21 comment added mai Looping over string characters, concatenation work perfectly. Nevertheless, I've updated the challenge. If a function to depend on a library, it must be included in the character count.
May 28, 2014 at 13:18 comment added mai Well actually you can, I'm just checking now. You can do a lot of manipulations on strings without libraries.

May 28, 2014 at 13:14 comment added mai Thanks for the feedback @m.buettner. I meant to say, without using any libraries. The problem is, that people become lazy to think sometimes and just dive straight away to use Linq where a bit of thought will do
