Oops.

is that the full source code? didnt i remember delphi to need program, begin and end and all that stuff?

In case anyone beats my last 84 byte entry before tomorrow, a questionable 79 byte version: (bash) [code]set `cat *n.*`;z=$3;e=0;((z>(x=$1*$2)))&&let e=z-$x,z=$x;echo $z $e>sitout.txt[/code] [editline]1[/editline] Make that 77 bytes :3: [code]set `cat *n.*`;z=$3;e=0;((z>(x=$1*$2)))&&let e=z-x,z=x;echo $z $e>sitout.txt[/code]

Congratulations to all who participated and good luck for the next code golf competition![/QUOTE] Hey, I had the shortest! Why is it called code golf?

cause you try to use the fewest amount of hits (bytes) to hit the hole ... says wiki

Darkimmortal, next one please.

[QUOTE=yakahughes;26784772]Darkimmortal, next one please.[/QUOTE] Trying to think of something interesting :P

How about a rule to prevent the use of languages or custom interpreters/compilers made specifically for golfing? I can think of a few examples, like goruby or GolfScript...

[QUOTE=raBBish;26784990]How about a rule to prevent the use of languages or custom interpreters/compilers made specifically for golfing? I can think of a few examples, like goruby or GolfScript...[/QUOTE] Agreed, I'll include that as a rule.

[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;26785046]Agreed, I'll include that as a rule.[/QUOTE] What? How can you do such a thing to me? You... you... bastard! On a more serious note, I like to point out that that I was beaten both by bash and by Lua 4.

[QUOTE=itsbth;26785157]What? How can you do such a thing to me? You... you... bastard! On a more serious note, I like to point out that that I was beaten both by bash and by Lua 4.[/QUOTE] Yeah but this next challenge will be a bit longer so you would have an unfair advantage

[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;26785274]Yeah but this next challenge will be a bit longer so you would have an unfair advantage[/QUOTE] Unfair advantage? Might as well say that everyone should use a certain language then. There's always some languages that are better than others for a specific task.
