View source for Code Golf: Code Golf

{{draft task}}

First, show the shortest possible program that will emit the nine-character string “Code Golf”, without the quotation marks and without anything after the final “f”. Then show the shortest possible program that does the same thing but without itself containing any string or character literals, and without requiring any input or any environment variables or command-line arguments, though the name of the running program can be used.

Extra credit: how big is the executable required to perform the first task? Skip details about any prior compilation steps that might be involved.

The following answers assume compilation using gcc 11.3.0 on ubuntu 22.04, without using any special options and ignoring the warnings.

The shortest possible program (28 bytes) to print the required string is:

The size of the executable needed to run this is 15,960 bytes.

If the program itself cannot contain string or character literals, then the shortest program I've been able to come up with (50 bytes) is: 

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">a[]={0x65646f43,0x6c6f4720,102};main(){printf(a);}</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|J}}==

For this bit of silliness, eliminating a trailing newline on stdout is probably the most difficult issue. So, we limit our implementation to linux and use /proc/self/fd/1 

Sadly, we need to use a character literal to reference /proc/self/fd/1 

But we do not need that reference to live in the implementation -- this task explicitly allows us to use the name of the running program.

So, our program looks like this:

<pre>#!/usr/bin/env jconsole
exit".(a.C.~<45 47){~a.i.;}.ARGV</pre>

And we name our program <code>"exit'Code Golf'fwrite'-proc-self-fd-1'"</code>

Here's an example bash session, illustrating this incredibly useful program:

<pre>$ "exit'Code Golf'fwrite'-proc-self-fd-1'" | wc
      0       2       9
$ "exit'Code Golf'fwrite'-proc-self-fd-1'"
Code Golf$</pre>

Extra Credit: this program occupies 57 bytes (ignoring OS overhead, such as the name of the routine and the minimum size allocated to any file with any content).

(Note: if we were careful about the current directory we were in when we executed this program, we could eliminate the part that swaps <code>-</code> and <code>/</code> characters ((a.C.~<45 47){~a.i.). Removing those 19 characters and creating four directories to hold the program and invoking the program as "exit'Code Golf'fwrite'"/proc/self/fd/"1'" might even be within the spirit of this task. However... we'll leave that as an exercise for the reader...)

Alternatively, if we are interested in the size of the J executable, jconsole currently clocks in at 140k bytes. However, this is misleading, as it ignores the size of necessary shared libraries (not to mention the OS Kernel and necessary supporting files)...

Slightly shorter, at 30 bytes, though it could be considered string/char:
<syntaxhighlight lang="Phix">
puts(1,x"436F646520476F6C66")
</syntaxhighlight>
While not exactly shorter, if you name the source code as Code Golf[.exw] or the executable as Code Golf[.exe], perhaps needing a substitute(s,'_',' ') [or (..,95,32)], this approach will also work:
<syntaxhighlight lang="Phix">
puts(1,get_file_base(command_line()[2]))
</syntaxhighlight>
The compiled size of the first is 276,992 bytes.
You can actually make a smaller executable as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="Phix">
include puts1h.e
puts1("Code Golf")
</syntaxhighlight>
Then compile it with p -c -nodiag ''test.exw'' (or whatever) to yield an executable of 36,532 bytes -
no diagnostics, which is itself non-trivial and otherwise pulls in file handling (for the ex.err it writes),
printf, ffi, and they in turn pull in almost every builtin in existence between them.
However even without all that lot it still needs stack, unassigned, and heap handlers, and unfortunately the 
latter also drags in delete() and therefore callfunc and therefore a whole bunch 
of subscript stuff we don't rightly need... still I suppose 36K ain't really all that bad.
Oh, I should also say the compiler/interpreter/linker/debugger is itself (currently) 2,789,376 bytes, plus you'll still need most of builtins/ which is around the 9MB mark.

<code>' [ 67 111 100 101 32 71 111 108 102 ] echo$</code> is marginally shorter but less interesting. For longer strings, encoding the text as a bignum rapidly becomes the more space efficient option. The text "Code Golf" is not quite long enough for the obvious improvement of using hexadecimal rather than decimal, as the digit reduction is less than the four character overhead of putting <code>hex</code> and a space before the number.

I suspect there may be shorter methods, but these are my best attempt.

=={{header|Raku}}==
Not very interesting, as it's pretty much just standard, non-obscure Raku. The output string is so short, there isn't any easy way to golf it shorter than just printing it directly. 17 bytes.
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>print <Code Golf></syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>Code Golf</pre>

Assuming we can't use the string literal in the source, the shortest I've come up with is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>print chrs 37,9,2,3,70,33,9,10,0 X+^102 # 39 chars, 39 bytes</syntaxhighlight>

Same output for each. Of course, to actually run any of that code you need the Raku compiler at 18.0Kb, the nqp vm interpreter at 17.9 Kb and the moar virtual machine at 17.9Kb. (Or the Java virtual machine, which is remarkably difficult to come up with a size for...)

The above code costs 48 nibbles (e.g. 4 bits) of memory (e.g. 24 bytes); the string itself requires 28 quartets.
 ≪ #102d #108d #111d #71d #32d #101d #100d #111d 67 CHR 1 8 START SWAP B→R CHR + NEXT ≫
This string-free code costs 233 nibbles (117 bytes). Unsigned integers - numbers starting with a <code>#</code> - have been used whenever possible since they use 9 nibbles less than floating-point numbers to store a value up to #FF

Note: Run BASIC is an interpreter, it does not generate executables.

=={{header|sed}}==
With sed, we can hardly stick to the rules. It requires at least one byte of input (to run the script at all), and cannot suppress a trailing newline on output.
<syntaxhighlight lang="sh">$ echo | sed 's/.*/Code Golf/'
Code Golf</syntaxhighlight>
Sed cannot translate/insert characters without having the target being specified in the code. So the best we can do, is to hide them behind escape-sequences (even with that, we can't avoid all letters from the target string). And, to limit ourselves a bit, we use each escape-sequence only once). That script is not POSIX-compliant, but works at least with GNU sed.
<syntaxhighlight lang="sh">$ echo | sed 's/.*/\x6f/;s/./\x43&\x64\x65\c`\x47&\x6c\x66/'
Code Golf</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|True BASIC}}==
By using a string literal, the following weighs in at 22 bytes.
<syntaxhighlight lang="qbasic">PRINT "Code Golf";

<syntaxhighlight lang="qbasic">DIM a(9)

END</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|UNIX Shell}}==
By using a string literal (18 characters):
<syntaxhighlight lang="sh">echo 'Code Golf\c'</syntaxhighlight>
By using just a format specifier (56 characters):
<syntaxhighlight lang="sh">printf $(printf \\\\%o 67 111 100 101 32 71 111 108 102)</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|Uxntal}}==
Using a "string literal" / raw ASCII rune (59 characters):
<syntaxhighlight lang="Uxntal">|0100 #0110 2194 06 #18 1720 fff7 #800f 1700 "Code 20 "Golf</syntaxhighlight>
Without raw ASCII runes (67 characters):
<syntaxhighlight lang="Uxntal">|0100 #0110 2194 06 #18 1720 fff7 #800f 1700 436f 6465 2047 6f6c 66</syntaxhighlight>

Both programs assemble to the same 26 byte ROM:
<pre>a001 1021 9406 8018 1720 fff7 a080 0f17
0043 6f64 6520 476f 6c66</pre>

The 9 byte string accounts for almost 35% of the final ROM.

The golfed code works very similarly to the following code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="Uxntal">|00 @System &vector $2 &expansion $2 &wst $1 &rst $1 &metadata $2 &r $2 &g $2 &b $2 &debug $1 &state $1
|10 @Console &vector $2 &read $1 &pad $4 &type $1 &write $1 &error $1

|0100
    ( get pointer to byte before str )
    ;str #0001 SUB2
@loop
    ( load a byte, pre-increment, and write it )
    INC2 LDAk DUP .Console/write DEO
    ( loop again if the byte was non-null )
    ?loop
    ( exit )
    #80 .System/state DEO
    BRK

@str
    "Code 20 "Golf 00</syntaxhighlight>

The main trick used in golfing of this program was to encode the raw instruction bytes in hex in the source code.

=={{header|Verilog}}==
With a quoted string, the following weighs in at 64 bytes.
<syntaxhighlight lang="Verilog">module main;
initial begin $write("Code Golf");
end
endmodule</syntaxhighlight>

For the second task, this is 102 bytes long.

<syntaxhighlight lang="Verilog">module main;
initial begin $write("%c%c%c%c %c%c%c%c",67,111,100,101,71,111,108,102);
end
endmodule</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
In both cases:
<pre>Code Golf</pre>

=={{header|V (Vlang)}}==
{{trans|go}}

The shortest possible program to print the required string is:
<syntaxhighlight lang="go">print("Code Golf")</syntaxhighlight> 
 
If the program itself cannot contain string or character literals, then use byte list:
<syntaxhighlight lang="go">print([u8(67),111,100,101,32,71,111,108,102].bytestr())</syntaxhighlight>
Output in both cases
<pre>
Code Golf
</pre>

=={{header|Wren}}==
The shortest possible program (25 bytes) to print the required string is:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wren">System.write("Code Golf")</syntaxhighlight>
The size of the executable needed to run this or indeed any other standalone program (Wren-cli on Linux) is 414,760 bytes. However, if Wren were being embedded in a minimal C program, then the size of the executable would be 17,320 bytes.

If the program itself cannot contain string or character literals, then the shortest program we've been able to come up with (68 bytes) is:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wren">for(c in[37,9,2,3,70,33,9,10,0])System.write(String.fromByte(c^102))</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
In both cases:
<pre>
Code Golf
</pre>

=={{header|X86 Assembly}}==
This is 100 bytes long (with CR+LF line endings). More useful than small,
obfuscated source is small executable. This makes a 17-byte .COM file
under MS-DOS. Assemble with: tasm and tlink /t. The xchg instruction is a
single byte (as opposed to a straightforward 2-byte mov ah,9), and it
takes advantage of the high byte of register bp being set to 09h when the
program is started by MS-DOS. 09h selects the "display string" function.

it's 54,400 bytes on the Raspberry Pi. Under MS-DOS a version of the

<syntaxhighlight lang="yabasic">?"Code Golf"</syntaxhighlight>
Without quoted literals, this is 63 bytes long.
<syntaxhighlight lang="yabasic">data 44,0,11,10,79,40,0,3,9:for i=0to 8read n:?chr$(111-n);next</syntaxhighlight>
Note: Yabasic is an interpreter, it does not generate executables.

=={{header|Z80 Assembly}}==
Thanks to the Amstrad CPC's kernel, we can reduce our line count greatly by abstracting print routines to a single <code>CALL</code> statement. In addition, WinAPE lets us load our executable directly into memory without the need for a disk by simply using an <code>ORG</code> directive to define the starting address.
