Nov 27, 2016 at 23:49 comment added Ilmari Karonen Most languages that allow arbitrarily large integers (like Python, which the current winning solution in Pyth is based on) store them internally as strings in base 256 or base 2^32 or something similar. Also, if fixed-length strings still count as strings, then technically everything on a computer is stored as strings of base 2 digits. Perhaps you should at least clarify whether using built-in bignum implementations or libraries is allowed, or whether we need to either stick to fixed-length integers or implement our own large integer arithmetic in base 10?

Nov 26, 2016 at 17:33 comment added Luis Mendo I didn't downvote, but certainly the answers didn't fulfill that requirement. I think it's better to relax that requirement, as you have done now

Nov 26, 2016 at 16:30 comment added Artyer @Dennis I have clarified the rules. I think the new rule about ints as strings is what I wanted. I will post in the sandbox next time though.

𝑛 isn't rendered on Android; Python's int goes up to base 36
Nov 26, 2016 at 15:48 comment added Dennis Somebody seems to have downvoted all answers that cannot handle larger bases because of a built-in precision limit, which also seems like an implementation rather than an algorithm problem. Could you clarify?

Nov 26, 2016 at 14:46 comment added Artyer @FryAmTheEggman Yes. The algorithm is not the problem there, but the implementation, which is ok.
Nov 26, 2016 at 14:43 comment added FryAmTheEggman I know the base conversion in Pyth can handle values larger that 36, but since this wants all of the xenodromes, the underlying python breaks when the list gets too large, saying it can't fit a value in a ssize_t. Is it breaking in this way acceptable?

Nov 26, 2016 at 14:38 comment added Luis Mendo @Artyer That should have been part of the challenge text, then. It seems some answers are already doing that

Nov 26, 2016 at 14:26 comment added Artyer @Flp.Tkc No. It should be able to handle reasonably high n. I don't want the challenge to be limited by how high a base the builtin base conversion of a language can handle.
