Advent of Code 2017
===================
December 1st
------------
[Given] a sequence of digits (your puzzle input) and find the sum of all
digits that match the next digit in the list. The list is circular, so
the digit after the last digit is the first digit in the list.
For example:
- 1122 produces a sum of 3 (1 + 2) because the first digit (1) matches
the second digit and the third digit (2) matches the fourth digit.
- 1111 produces 4 because each digit (all 1) matches the next.
- 1234 produces 0 because no digit matches the next.
- 91212129 produces 9 because the only digit that matches the next one
is the last digit, 9.
.. code:: ipython2
from notebook_preamble import J, V, define
I'll assume the input is a Joy sequence of integers (as opposed to a
string or something else.)
We might proceed by creating a word that makes a copy of the sequence
with the first item moved to the last, and zips it with the original to
make a list of pairs, and a another word that adds (one of) each pair to
a total if the pair matches.
::
AoC2017.1 == pair_up total_matches
Let's derive ``pair_up``:
::
[a b c] pair_up
-------------------------
[[a b] [b c] [c a]]
Straightforward (although the order of each pair is reversed, due to the
way ``zip`` works, but it doesn't matter for this program):
::
[a b c] dup
[a b c] [a b c] uncons swap
[a b c] [b c] a unit concat
[a b c] [b c a] zip
[[b a] [c b] [a c]]
.. code:: ipython2
define('pair_up == dup uncons swap unit concat zip')
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 3] pair_up')
.. parsed-literal::
[[2 1] [3 2] [1 3]]
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 2 3] pair_up')
.. parsed-literal::
[[2 1] [2 2] [3 2] [1 3]]
Now we need to derive ``total_matches``. It will be a ``step`` function:
::
total_matches == 0 swap [F] step
Where ``F`` will have the pair to work with, and it will basically be a
``branch`` or ``ifte``.
::
total [n m] F
It will probably be easier to write if we dequote the pair:
::
total [n m] i F
----------------------
total n m F
Now ``F`` becomes just:
::
total n m [=] [pop +] [popop] ifte
So:
::
F == i [=] [pop +] [popop] ifte
And thus:
::
total_matches == 0 swap [i [=] [pop +] [popop] ifte] step
.. code:: ipython2
define('total_matches == 0 swap [i [=] [pop +] [popop] ifte] step')
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 3] pair_up total_matches')
.. parsed-literal::
0
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 2 3] pair_up total_matches')
.. parsed-literal::
2
Now we can define our main program and evaluate it on the examples.
.. code:: ipython2
define('AoC2017.1 == pair_up total_matches')
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 1 2 2] AoC2017.1')
.. parsed-literal::

.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 1 1 1] AoC2017.1')
.. parsed-literal::

.. parsed-literal::

.. parsed-literal::
9
.. code:: ipython2
J('[9 1 2 1 2 1 2 9] AoC2017.1')
.. parsed-literal::
9
::
pair_up == dup uncons swap unit concat zip
total_matches == 0 swap [i [=] [pop +] [popop] ifte] step
AoC2017.1 == pair_up total_matches
Now the paired digit is "halfway" round.
::
[a b c d] dup size 2 / [drop] [take reverse] cleave concat zip
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 3 4] dup size 2 / [drop] [take reverse] cleave concat zip')
.. parsed-literal::
[[3 1] [4 2] [1 3] [2 4]]
I realized that each pair is repeated...
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 3 4] dup size 2 / [drop] [take reverse] cleave zip')
.. parsed-literal::
[1 2 3 4] [[1 3] [2 4]]
.. code:: ipython2
define('AoC2017.1.extra == dup size 2 / [drop] [take reverse] cleave zip swap pop total_matches 2 *')
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 1 2] AoC2017.1.extra')
.. parsed-literal::

.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 2 1] AoC2017.1.extra')
.. parsed-literal::
0
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 3 4 2 5] AoC2017.1.extra')
.. parsed-literal::

Refactor FTW
============
With Joy a great deal of the heuristics from Forth programming carry
over nicely. For example, refactoring into small, well-scoped commands
with mnemonic names...
::
rotate_seq == uncons swap unit concat
pair_up == dup rotate_seq zip
add_if_match == [=] [pop +] [popop] ifte
total_matches == [i add_if_match] step_zero
AoC2017.1 == pair_up total_matches
half_of_size == dup size 2 /
split_at == [drop] [take reverse] cleave
pair_up.extra == half_of_size split_at zip swap pop
AoC2017.1.extra == pair_up.extra total_matches 2 *

Advent of Code 2017
===================

------------
For each row, determine the difference between the largest value and the
smallest value; the checksum is the sum of all of these differences.
For example, given the following spreadsheet:
::
5 1 9 5
7 5 3
2 4 6 8
- The first row's largest and smallest values are 9 and 1, and their
difference is 8.
- The second row's largest and smallest values are 7 and 3, and their
difference is 4.
- The third row's difference is 6.
In this example, the spreadsheet's checksum would be 8 + 4 + 6 = 18.
.. code:: ipython2
from notebook_preamble import J, V, define
I'll assume the input is a Joy sequence of sequences of integers.
::
[[5 1 9 5]
[7 5 3]
[2 4 6 8]]
So, obviously, the initial form will be a ``step`` function:
::
AoC2017.2 == 0 swap [F +] step
This function ``F`` must get the ``max`` and ``min`` of a row of numbers
and subtract. We can define a helper function ``maxmin`` which does
this:
.. code:: ipython2
define('maxmin == [max] [min] cleave')
.. code:: ipython2
J('[1 2 3] maxmin')
.. parsed-literal::
3 1
Then ``F`` just does that then subtracts the min from the max:
::
F == maxmin -
So:
.. code:: ipython2
define('AoC2017.2 == [maxmin - +] step_zero')
.. code:: ipython2
J('''
[[5 1 9 5]
[7 5 3]
[2 4 6 8]] AoC2017.2
''')
.. parsed-literal::
18
...find the only two numbers in each row where one evenly divides the
other - that is, where the result of the division operation is a whole
number. They would like you to find those numbers on each line, divide
them, and add up each line's result.
For example, given the following spreadsheet:
::
5 9 2 8
9 4 7 3
3 8 6 5
- In the first row, the only two numbers that evenly divide are 8 and
2; the result of this division is 4.
- In the second row, the two numbers are 9 and 3; the result is 3.
- In the third row, the result is 2.
In this example, the sum of the results would be 4 + 3 + 2 = 9.
What is the sum of each row's result in your puzzle input?

J('[5 9 2 8] sort reverse')

Tricky
------
Let's think.
Given a *sorted* sequence (from highest to lowest) we want to \* for
head, tail in sequence \* for term in tail: \* check if the head % term
== 0 \* if so compute head / term and terminate loop \* else continue
So we want a ``loop`` I think
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
[a b c d] True [Q] loop
[a b c d] Q [Q] loop
``Q`` should either leave the result and False, or the ``rest`` and
True.
::
[a b c d] Q
-----------------
result 0
[a b c d] Q
-----------------
[b c d] 1
This suggests that ``Q`` should start with:
::
[a b c d] uncons dup roll<
[b c d] [b c d] a
Now we just have to ``pop`` it if we don't need it.
::
[b c d] [b c d] a [P] [T] [cons] app2 popdd [E] primrec
[b c d] [b c d] [a P] [a T] [E] primrec

I finally sat down with a piece of paper and blocked it out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First, I made a function ``G`` that expects a number and a sequence of
candidates and return the result or zero:
::
n [...] G
---------------
result
n [...] G
---------------
0
It's a recursive function that conditionally executes the recursive part
of its recursive branch
::
[Pg] [E] [R1 [Pi] [T]] [ifte] genrec
The recursive branch is the else-part of the inner ``ifte``:
::
G == [Pg] [E] [R1 [Pi] [T]] [ifte] genrec
== [Pg] [E] [R1 [Pi] [T] [G] ifte] ifte
But this is in hindsight. Going forward I derived:
::
G == [first % not]
[first /]
[rest [not] [popop 0]]
[ifte] genrec
The predicate detects if the ``n`` can be evenly divided by the
``first`` item in the list. If so, the then-part returns the result.
Otherwise, we have:
::
n [m ...] rest [not] [popop 0] [G] ifte
n [...] [not] [popop 0] [G] ifte
This ``ifte`` guards against empty sequences and returns zero in that
case, otherwise it executes ``G``.
.. code:: ipython2
define('G == [first % not] [first /] [rest [not] [popop 0]] [ifte] genrec')
Now we need a word that uses ``G`` on each (head, tail) pair of a
sequence until it finds a (non-zero) result. It's going to be designed
to work on a stack that has some candidate ``n``, a sequence of possible
divisors, and a result that is zero to signal to continue (a non-zero
value implies that it is the discovered result):
::
n [...] p find-result
---------------------------
result
It applies ``G`` using ``nullary`` because if it fails with one
candidate it needs the list to get the next one (the list is otherwise
consumed by ``G``.)
::
find-result == [0 >] [roll> popop] [roll< popop uncons [G] nullary] primrec
n [...] p [0 >] [roll> popop] [roll< popop uncons [G] nullary] primrec
The base-case is trivial, return the (non-zero) result. The recursive
branch...
::
n [...] p roll< popop uncons [G] nullary find-result
[...] p n popop uncons [G] nullary find-result
[...] uncons [G] nullary find-result
m [..] [G] nullary find-result
m [..] p find-result
The puzzle states that the input is well-formed, meaning that we can
expect a result before the row sequence empties and so do not need to
guard the ``uncons``.
.. code:: ipython2
define('find-result == [0 >] [roll> popop] [roll< popop uncons [G] nullary] primrec')
.. code:: ipython2
J('[11 9 8 7 3 2] 0 tuck find-result')
.. parsed-literal::
3.0
In order to get the thing started, we need to ``sort`` the list in
descending order, then prime the ``find-result`` function with a dummy
candidate value and zero ("continue") flag.
.. code:: ipython2
define('prep-row == sort reverse 0 tuck')
Now we can define our program.
.. code:: ipython2
define('AoC20017.2.extra == [prep-row find-result +] step_zero')
.. code:: ipython2
J('''
[[5 9 2 8]
[9 4 7 3]
[3 8 6 5]] AoC20017.2.extra

.. parsed-literal::

Advent of Code 2017
===================
December 3rd
------------
You come across an experimental new kind of memory stored on an infinite
two-dimensional grid.
Each square on the grid is allocated in a spiral pattern starting at a
location marked 1 and then counting up while spiraling outward. For
example, the first few squares are allocated like this:
::
17 16 15 14 13
18 5 4 3 12
19 6 1 2 11
20 7 8 9 10
21 22 23---> ...
While this is very space-efficient (no squares are skipped), requested
data must be carried back to square 1 (the location of the only access
port for this memory system) by programs that can only move up, down,
left, or right. They always take the shortest path: the Manhattan
Distance between the location of the data and square 1.
For example:
- Data from square 1 is carried 0 steps, since it's at the access port.
- Data from square 12 is carried 3 steps, such as: down, left, left.
- Data from square 23 is carried only 2 steps: up twice.
- Data from square 1024 must be carried 31 steps.
How many steps are required to carry the data from the square identified
in your puzzle input all the way to the access port?
Analysis
~~~~~~~~
I freely admit that I worked out the program I wanted to write using
graph paper and some Python doodles. There's no point in trying to write
a Joy program until I'm sure I understand the problem well enough.
The first thing I did was to write a column of numbers from 1 to n (32
as it happens) and next to them the desired output number, to look for
patterns directly:
::
1 0
2 1
3 2
4 1
5 2
6 1
7 2
8 1
9 2
10 3
11 2
12 3
13 4
14 3
15 2
16 3
17 4
18 3
19 2
20 3
21 4
22 3
23 2
24 3
25 4
26 5
27 4
28 3
29 4
30 5
31 6
32 5
There are four groups repeating for a given "rank", then the pattern
enlarges and four groups repeat again, etc.
::
1 2
3 2 3 4
5 4 3 4 5 6
7 6 5 4 5 6 7 8
9 8 7 6 5 6 7 8 9 10
Four of this pyramid interlock to tile the plane extending from the
initial "1" square.
::
2 3 | 4 5 | 6 7 | 8 9
10 11 12 13|14 15 16 17|18 19 20 21|22 23 24 25
And so on.
We can figure out the pattern for a row of the pyramid at a given "rank"
:math:`k`:
:math:`2k - 1, 2k - 2, ..., k, k + 1, k + 2, ..., 2k`
or
:math:`k + (k - 1), k + (k - 2), ..., k, k + 1, k + 2, ..., k + k`
This shows that the series consists at each place of :math:`k` plus some
number that begins at :math:`k - 1`, decreases to zero, then increases
to :math:`k`. Each row has :math:`2k` members.
Let's figure out how, given an index into a row, we can calculate the
value there. The index will be from 0 to :math:`k - 1`.
Let's look at an example, with :math:`k = 4`:
::
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
7 6 5 4 5 6 7 8
.. code:: ipython2
k = 4
Subtract :math:`k` from the index and take the absolute value:
.. code:: ipython2
for n in range(2 * k):
print abs(n - k),
.. parsed-literal::
4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3
Not quite. Subtract :math:`k - 1` from the index and take the absolute
value:
.. code:: ipython2
for n in range(2 * k):
print abs(n - (k - 1)),
.. parsed-literal::
3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4
Great, now add :math:`k`...
.. code:: ipython2
for n in range(2 * k):
print abs(n - (k - 1)) + k,
.. parsed-literal::
7 6 5 4 5 6 7 8
So to write a function that can give us the value of a row at a given
index:
.. code:: ipython2
def row_value(k, i):
i %= (2 * k) # wrap the index at the row boundary.
return abs(i - (k - 1)) + k
.. code:: ipython2
k = 5
for i in range(2 * k):
print row_value(k, i),
.. parsed-literal::
9 8 7 6 5 6 7 8 9 10
(I'm leaving out details of how I figured this all out and just giving
the relevent bits. It took a little while to zero in of the aspects of
the pattern that were important for the task.)
Finding the rank and offset of a number.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that we can compute the desired output value for a given rank and
the offset (index) into that rank, we need to determine how to find the
rank and offset of a number.
The rank is easy to find by iteratively stripping off the amount already
covered by previous ranks until you find the one that brackets the
target number. Because each row is :math:`2k` places and there are
:math:`4` per rank each rank contains :math:`8k` places. Counting the
initial square we have:
:math:`corner_k = 1 + \sum_{n=1}^k 8n`
I'm not mathematically sophisticated enough to turn this directly into a
formula (but Sympy is, see below.) I'm going to write a simple Python
function to iterate and search:
.. code:: ipython2
def rank_and_offset(n):
assert n >= 2 # Guard the domain.
n -= 2 # Subtract two,
# one for the initial square,
# and one because we are counting from 1 instead of 0.
k = 1
while True:
m = 8 * k # The number of places total in this rank, 4(2k).
if n < m:
return k, n % (2 * k)
n -= m # Remove this rank's worth.
k += 1
.. code:: ipython2
for n in range(2, 51):
print n, rank_and_offset(n)
.. parsed-literal::

Sympy to the Rescue
===================
Find the rank for large numbers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using e.g. Sympy we can find the rank directly by solving for the roots
of an equation. For large numbers this will (eventually) be faster than
iterating as ``rank_and_offset()`` does.
.. code:: ipython2
from sympy import floor, lambdify, solve, symbols
from sympy import init_printing
init_printing()
.. code:: ipython2
k = symbols('k')
Since
:math:`1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N = \frac{N(N + 1)}{2}`
and
:math:`\sum_{n=1}^k 8n = 8(\sum_{n=1}^k n) = 8\frac{k(k + 1)}{2}`
We want:
.. code:: ipython2
E = 2 + 8 * k * (k + 1) / 2 # For the reason for adding 2 see above.
E
.. math::
4 k \left(k + 1\right) + 2
We can write a function to solve for :math:`k` given some :math:`n`...
.. code:: ipython2
def rank_of(n):
return floor(max(solve(E - n, k))) + 1
First ``solve()`` for :math:`E - n = 0` which has two solutions (because
the equation is quadratic so it has two roots) and since we only care
about the larger one we use ``max()`` to select it. It will generally
not be a nice integer (unless :math:`n` is the number of an end-corner
of a rank) so we take the ``floor()`` and add 1 to get the integer rank
of :math:`n`. (Taking the ``ceiling()`` gives off-by-one errors on the
rank boundaries. I don't know why. I'm basically like a monkey doing
math here.) =-D
It gives correct answers:
.. code:: ipython2
for n in (9, 10, 25, 26, 49, 50):
print n, rank_of(n)
.. parsed-literal::
9 1
10 2
25 2
26 3
49 3
50 4
And it runs much faster (at least for large numbers):
.. code:: ipython2
%time rank_of(23000000000000) # Compare runtime with rank_and_offset()!
.. parsed-literal::
CPU times: user 68 ms, sys: 8 ms, total: 76 ms
Wall time: 73.8 ms
.. math::
2397916
.. code:: ipython2
%time rank_and_offset(23000000000000)
.. parsed-literal::
CPU times: user 308 ms, sys: 0 ns, total: 308 ms
Wall time: 306 ms
.. math::
\left ( 2397916, \quad 223606\right )
After finding the rank you would still have to find the actual value of
the rank's first corner and subtract it (plus 2) from the number and
compute the offset as above and then the final output, but this overhead
is partially shared by the other method, and overshadowed by the time it
(the other iterative method) would take for really big inputs.
The fun thing to do here would be to graph the actual runtime of both
methods against each other to find the trade-off point.
It took me a second to realize I could do this...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sympy is a *symbolic* math library, and it supports symbolic
manipulation of equations. I can put in :math:`y` (instead of a value)
and ask it to solve for :math:`k`.
.. code:: ipython2
y = symbols('y')
.. code:: ipython2
g, f = solve(E - y, k)
The equation is quadratic so there are two roots, we are interested in
the greater one...
.. code:: ipython2
g
.. math::
- \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{y - 1} - \frac{1}{2}
.. code:: ipython2
f
.. math::
\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{y - 1} - \frac{1}{2}
Now we can take the ``floor()``, add 1, and ``lambdify()`` the equation
to get a Python function that calculates the rank directly.
.. code:: ipython2
floor(f) + 1
.. math::
\lfloor{\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{y - 1} - \frac{1}{2}}\rfloor + 1
.. code:: ipython2
F = lambdify(y, floor(f) + 1)
.. code:: ipython2
for n in (9, 10, 25, 26, 49, 50):
print n, int(F(n))
.. parsed-literal::
9 1
10 2
25 2
26 3
49 3
50 4
It's pretty fast.
.. code:: ipython2
%time int(F(23000000000000)) # The clear winner.
.. parsed-literal::
CPU times: user 0 ns, sys: 0 ns, total: 0 ns
Wall time: 11.9 µs
.. math::
2397916
Knowing the equation we could write our own function manually, but the
speed is no better.
.. code:: ipython2
from math import floor as mfloor, sqrt
def mrank_of(n):
return int(mfloor(sqrt(23000000000000 - 1) / 2 - 0.5) + 1)
.. code:: ipython2
%time mrank_of(23000000000000)
.. parsed-literal::
CPU times: user 0 ns, sys: 0 ns, total: 0 ns
Wall time: 12.9 µs
.. math::
2397916
Given :math:`n` and a rank, compute the offset.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that we have a fast way to get the rank, we still need to use it to
compute the offset into a pyramid row.
.. code:: ipython2
def offset_of(n, k):
return (n - 2 + 4 * k * (k - 1)) % (2 * k)
(Note the sneaky way the sign changes from :math:`k(k + 1)` to
:math:`k(k - 1)`. This is because we want to subract the
:math:`(k - 1)`\ th rank's total places (its own and those of lesser
rank) from our :math:`n` of rank :math:`k`. Substituting :math:`k - 1`
for :math:`k` in :math:`k(k + 1)` gives :math:`(k - 1)(k - 1 + 1)`,
which of course simplifies to :math:`k(k - 1)`.)
.. code:: ipython2
offset_of(23000000000000, 2397916)
.. math::
223606
So, we can compute the rank, then the offset, then the row value.
.. code:: ipython2
def rank_of(n):
return int(mfloor(sqrt(n - 1) / 2 - 0.5) + 1)
def offset_of(n, k):
return (n - 2 + 4 * k * (k - 1)) % (2 * k)
def row_value(k, i):
return abs(i - (k - 1)) + k
def aoc20173(n):
k = rank_of(n)
i = offset_of(n, k)
return row_value(k, i)
.. code:: ipython2

this code in Joy. ;-)

``offset_of``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::

A little tricky...

To ensure security, a valid passphrase must contain no duplicate words.
For example:
- aa bb cc dd ee is valid.
- aa bb cc dd aa is not valid - the word aa appears more than once.
- aa bb cc dd aaa is valid - aa and aaa count as different words.
The system's full passphrase list is available as your puzzle input. How
many passphrases are valid?

Advent of Code 2017
===================
December 5th
------------
...a list of the offsets for each jump. Jumps are relative: -1 moves to
the previous instruction, and 2 skips the next one. Start at the first
instruction in the list. The goal is to follow the jumps until one leads
outside the list.
In addition, these instructions are a little strange; after each jump,
the offset of that instruction increases by 1. So, if you come across an
offset of 3, you would move three instructions forward, but change it to
a 4 for the next time it is encountered.
For example, consider the following list of jump offsets:
::
0
3
0
1
-3
Positive jumps ("forward") move downward; negative jumps move upward.
For legibility in this example, these offset values will be written all
on one line, with the current instruction marked in parentheses. The
following steps would be taken before an exit is found:
-
(0) 3 0 1 -3 - before we have taken any steps.
-
(1) 3 0 1 -3 - jump with offset 0 (that is, don't jump at all).
Fortunately, the instruction is then incremented to 1.
- 2 (3) 0 1 -3 - step forward because of the instruction we just
modified. The first instruction is incremented again, now to 2.
- 2 4 0 1 (-3) - jump all the way to the end; leave a 4 behind.
- 2 (4) 0 1 -2 - go back to where we just were; increment -3 to -2.
- 2 5 0 1 -2 - jump 4 steps forward, escaping the maze.
In this example, the exit is reached in 5 steps.
How many steps does it take to reach the exit?
Breakdown
---------
For now, I'm going to assume a starting state with the size of the
sequence pre-computed. We need it to define the exit condition and it is
a trivial preamble to generate it. We then need and ``index`` and a
``step-count``, which are both initially zero. Then we have the sequence
itself, and some recursive function ``F`` that does the work.
::
size index step-count [...] F
-----------------------------------
step-count
F == [P] [T] [R1] [R2] genrec
Later on I was thinking about it and the Forth heuristic came to mind,
to wit: four things on the stack are kind of much. Immediately I
realized that the size properly belongs in the predicate of ``F``! D'oh!
::
index step-count [...] F
------------------------------
step-count
So, let's start by nailing down the predicate:
::
F == [P] [T] [R1] [R2] genrec
== [P] [T] [R1 [F] R2] ifte
0 0 [0 3 0 1 -3] popop 5 >=
P == popop 5 >=
Now we need the else-part:
::
index step-count [0 3 0 1 -3] roll< popop
E == roll< popop
Last but not least, the recursive branch
::
0 0 [0 3 0 1 -3] R1 [F] R2
The ``R1`` function has a big job:
::
R1 == get the value at index
increment the value at the index
add the value gotten to the index
increment the step count
The only tricky thing there is incrementing an integer in the sequence.
Joy sequences are not particularly good for random access. We could
encode the list of jump offsets in a big integer and use math to do the
processing for a good speed-up, but it still wouldn't beat the
performance of e.g. a mutable array. This is just one of those places
where "plain vanilla" Joypy doesn't shine (in default performance. The
legendary *Sufficiently-Smart Compiler* would of course rewrite this
function to use an array "under the hood".)
In the meantime, I'm going to write a primitive function that just does
what we need.

This is by far the largest program I have yet written in Joy. Even with
the ``incr_at`` function it is still a bear. There may be an arrangement
of the parameters that would permit more elegant definitions, but it
still wouldn't be as efficient as something written in assembly, C, or
even Python.

First draft:
::

(?)
::
[] [GEN] x [pop index_of 0 >=] [pop size --] [[swons] dip x] primrec
[] [...] [GEN] [pop index_of 0 >=] [pop size --] [[swons] dip x] primrec
[] [...] [GEN] pop index_of 0 >=
[] [...] index_of 0 >=
-1 0 >=
False
Base case
::
[] [...] [GEN] [pop index_of 0 >=] [pop size --] [[swons] dip x] primrec
[] [...] [GEN] pop size --
[] [...] size --
[] [...] size --
A mistake, ``popop`` and no need for ``--``
::
[] [...] [GEN] popop size
[] size
n
Recursive case
::
[] [...] [GEN] [pop index_of 0 >=] [popop size] [[swons] dip x] primrec
[] [...] [GEN] [swons] dip x F
[] [...] swons [GEN] x F
[[...]] [GEN] x F
