May 02, 2014 - 10 Types of people

Hopefully this is not such a time consuming ghoffee question, but it also acts as a precursor to another one down the line.

Solutions to be classed by either:

Native components only (no scripts or Expressions, trivial I/O <expressions> allowed)
Use of Plug-ins
Code - either VB.NET, C# or Python

Winner announced this time tomorrow (0830 GMT)

I have to bail now. Tomorrow is Saturday so I won't be able to upload the file then, so if you promise not to cheat and still want to have a go, don't look...

P R E L I M I N A R Y W I N N E R S

=========================

Native: Ángel

Plug-ins: Technically as python is a plug-in still, the winner is Anders as there were no other runners (Yet)

Scripting: Anders gets a Special mention for bringing my attention to bin(x) in python but the award goes to David

Here's a Python version :)

Edit: Just noticed that my version has six zeros and yours only has five. Just tried this converter and it seems to agree with the former. Perhaps I misunderstood the task?

After Dave called me out for cheating yesterday (we sit right across from each other) I had to give it a another quick Python stab. No fancy pants module import in this one :D

Could I propose in scripting solutions to upload the exported *.py file too? It makes it easier when you are not in your computer to take a look at the code.

Good idea. Attached the file.

Amazing grasshopper

Eligant in its execution

Simple in its style

Yes, spot the deliberate mistake to make sure you were on form :)

Corrected now

My native component solution...the scripting way looks too simple with some iteration and module calculations :P I've use some parameters to convert values instead of using expressions, so those could be easily simplified but I wanted to stick to the rules as much as possible. Mmmm...I'm going to try to simplify it a little bit more...

Hey, I forgot the GH file. I blurred the capture to let the people think a little bit more about the problem...anyway, the file attached has the solution :)
