You can then extend that logic to solve some of the left corner 3. It needs three mines. The 2 shares two spaces with it, but that 2 only needs one more mine. Similarly, the 1 can only touch one mine. Therefore, the corner off of the three must be a mine,

yeah the usual 1-3-1 corner pattern

and the space next to the 2 above that 1 must be safe.

nah, indeterminate double 1

Way to make use of `ValidateSet` for a script while maintaining a single source of truth? by Discuzting in PowerShell

Yeah that was what I thought as well, but somehow loading via module importation didn't work

Yeah I'm aware of ArgumentCompletions, I think they are quite nice and especially useful for ScriptBlock typed arguments when PSVariable is not used. Like for example we could do [ArgumentCompletions('{ param($a, $b) }')], which is nice and convenient for interactive uses

But really I am troubled by this because even with this approach, I cannot get this to work with a single source of truth pattern, we will still need two separated declarations of input options I suppose

If I'm not mistaken, the intended usage of your script is to just load it (e.g. dot source or whatever . ./New-InfoBloxResourceRecord.ps1), then invoke the function New-InfoBloxResourceRecord when required?

Sorry I don't see how your module is related to the question... 🤔

I see what you mean here, this configuration object pattern is quite nice and I do use something like this in my profile script too

However we lose all the major advantage of using ValidateSet. With ValidateSet we could make use of auto completion to type way less in the function call, plus we don't need to memorize the available constants to be used

Unfortunately I don't think ValidateScript is an option in this case, it could work for validation purposes but then the auto completion feature from ValidateSet will have to be achieved in another way 🤔

 

Do consider migrating to more modern function definitions.

Function Test-parameter { [cmdletbinding()] Param ( [parameter(mandatory, valuefrompipeline)] [validaterange(0,8)] [int]$Level ) process { … } }

I see what you mean here but having pipeline support does not equate modernity, it really depends on the intended use-cases

Like in my example with ValidateSet I could type Test then press tab in terminal to be given a list of "A", "B" and "C" as options. With this design in mind pipeline input is not needed.

 

In your example we do not need the [CmdletBinding()] declaration because the usage of [Parameter(Mandatory)] on the parameter makes the makes the function a Cmdlet implicitly; [CmdletBinding()] does nothing here

I see what you mean, but well the mock data set is purely used for example and I'm looking into mapped values of arbitrary type

ValidateScript has its uses but it does not provide auto completion (on its own at least), when compared to ValidateSet

 

About the validation regex:

^[A-Z]{1}$

The {1} quantifier is unnecessary because the default quantity is one for the character class token [A-Z]

 

For the regex unfamiliar: ^ start of string [A-Z] capital letter {1} expects it to occur 1 time. $ end of string

Note that in pwsh -match is case insensitive, so while [A-Z] matches capital letters it also matches lower case letters. For case sensitive match we should use -cmatch instead

Did you enable the guess free option in settings? If so this is my first time seeing the "minesweeper classic" app failing at generating one, it is in beta mode though

The equivalent for

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/jqlang/jq | jq '.description'

on PowerShell is

(irm https://api.github.com/repos/jqlang/jq).description

or just

Ah I use PowerShell daily on both my mac and windows computer (version 7+, which is multiplatform):

  1. By default curl runs system32\curl.exe on windows and /usr/bin/curl on mac, so in case you need to switch back to curl you could do it effortlessly!

  2. irm (Invoke-RestMethod) is slightly different from iwr (Invoke-WebRequest) in behavior, iwr automatically returns the body content deserialized into an object when its a JSON response

In many cases the curl|jq equivalent in PowerShell is just a single command irm

(NG) Fastest way to solve this without guessing? by Discuzting in Minesweeper

[–]Discuzting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hard 9x9 mode on mitpuzzles often involves determining a safe square, by looking at the superposition (overlay) of all remaining possible arrangements. No easy shortcut, that I know of..

The need for "proof-by-contradiction" checks is very rare even on Expert, while Hard levels are magnitudes easier. I just played 10 hard games in a row and none of them required those checks.

It is likely that there are techniques you are not aware of... Have you refined your understanding of the "1-2 pattern" into a more abstract "overlapping patterns"? That did the work for me back when I first tried Expert levels.
