您的目标是编写一个程序，以完全按照此处显示的方式打印以下诗歌：

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I don't know why she swallowed that fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and iggled and jiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed that fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird,
How absurd to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed that fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a cat,
Imagine that to swallow a cat.
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed that fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a dog,
What a hog to swallow a dog.
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed that fly,
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse,
She died of course.

文本必须与此处完全一样，并且最少的字符获胜。

Perl 5.10的，392 384 372 235 369（ASCII）/ 234（Unicode）的

ASCII的最短版本为369个字符长：

@_=(fly,spider,bird,cat,dog);$_="There was an old lady who!ed a";for$P("",",
That wrJand Jand jJinside her",",
How absurd&",",
Imagine that&",",
What a hog&"){$p=$c;$c=$".shift@_;$t=$p?"She!ed the$c to catch the$p,
$t":"I don't know why she!ed that$c,
Perhaps she'll die.

$_";$_.="$c$P.
$t";s/&/ to! a$c/}s/!/ swallow/g;s/J/iggled /g;say"$_ horse,
She died of course."

它从以下基本程序开始：

my @animals = qw(fly spider bird cat dog);
my $buf = "There was an old lady who swallowed a ";
for my $phrase ( "",
                 ",\nThat wriggled and iggled and jiggled inside her",
                 ",\nHow absurd&",
                 ",\nImagine that&",
                 ",\nWhat a hog&" ) { 
  $previous = $current;
  $current = shift @animals;
  $trail = $previous ? "She swallowed the $current to catch the $previous,\n$trail"
                     : "I don't know why she swallowed that $current,\n"
                       . "Perhaps she'll die.\n\n$buf";
  $buf .= "$current$phrase.\n$trail";
  $buf =~ s/&/ to swallow a $current/;
}
say "$buf horse,\nShe died of course.";

核心思想是保持韵律的结束和下一首韵律的开始$trail，并随着我们的进行不断增加。首次使用时需要特殊情况，并且尝试重新使用动物名称变量，即使在动物特定的短语中，也使其变得不平凡。进一步的优化包括：

• 所有内容的单字符标识符
• 在动物列表中使用裸词而不是用引号引起来的字符串
• 使用累加器$_来$buf进一步缩短大多数替换操作（使用@_是出于习惯，不会比任何其他角色赢得更多的东西）
• 在动物名称变量内直接包含前一个空格（从$"变量中获取的空格字符）
• 正则表达式替换以缩短最常用的短语：' swallow'和'iggled '
• 没有任何代码间距，所有\n字符串文字都替换为实际的换行符

除了最后的优化之外，所有其他优化都会产生以下结果：

@_ = (fly, spider, bird, cat, dog);
$_ = "There was an old lady who!ed a";
for $P ( "",
         ",\nThat wrJand Jand jJinside her",
         ",\nHow absurd&",
         ",\nImagine that&",
         ",\nWhat a hog&" ) { 
  $p = $c;
  $c = $" . shift @_;
  $t = $p ? "She!ed the$c to catch the$p,\n$t"
          : "I don't know why she!ed that$c,\nPerhaps she'll die.\n\n$_";
  $_ .= "$c$P.\n$t";
  s/&/ to! a$c/;
}
s/!/ swallow/g;
s/J/iggled /g;
say "$_ horse,\nShe died of course.";

此外，这种高尔夫是未指定编码问题的受害者。到目前为止，由于它以指定的编码来计数单个字符而不是字节，因此通过在启动之前从UCS2解码程序源可以获得很大的收益。最终结果不是很可读，但是很简短。（234个字符，perl -E''与往常相比有所不同）（我必须在结尾加上换行符以使其成为有效的UCS2）

在采用Unicode之前，有很多事情可以做，这不是一件好事，否则不会很有趣。

编辑： 找不到将234个字符的版本复制/粘贴到此浏览器的方法，所以我要保留235个字符的版本。当我把手放在真正的UTF8感知剪贴板上时，它将在今天晚上修复。找到了办法。 亚乙基酮的准证明。

此解决方案是一个46字节的解压缩器，BinaryDeserialize@ByteArray@ToCharacterCode@"..."作用于伪装为ASCII字符串的248字节的数组上。在不同程序之间传输此字符串有些棘手。例如，TIO使用UTF-8编码而不是保留ASCII字符串将该解决方案扩展为416字节。要获得最小295字节的解决方案，请将文本保存在变量中text并运行

BinaryWrite["ThereWasAnOldLady.wl", Join[
  ToCharacterCode["BinaryDeserialize@ByteArray@ToCharacterCode@\""],
  Normal[BinarySerialize[text, PerformanceGoal -> "Size"]] /. {34 -> Sequence[92, 34]},
  ToCharacterCode["\""]]]

然后使用以下命令在命令行上执行生成的文件

wolframscript -print -f ThereWasAnOldLady.wl
