Output

1. **Explanation:** The function `count` iterates through all possible configurations of a 8x8 grid where each cell can be either 0 or 1 (represented by bits in a 64-bit integer). For each configuration, it simulates a single step of a cellular automaton rule. Specifically, if a cell is 'on' (1) and all its orthogonal neighbors (up, down, left, right) are 'off' (0), the cell turns 'off' (0) in the next step. The function counts the number of configurations where no cells change state after this single step application, meaning the configuration is stable under this rule. The initial configuration is represented by the variable `init`, and the configuration after the rule application is represented by `array`. 2. **Shortening Strategies:** * **Bit Manipulation:** Leverage bitwise operations more efficiently to avoid explicit loop calculations of neighbor positions. * **Simplified Loops:** Combine nested loops and use bit shifts for neighbor checking. * **Eliminate Redundancy:** Remove unnecessary temporary variables. * **Constants:** Use `constexpr` to define constants and potentially enable compile-time optimizations. 3. **Shorter Code (Attempt 1):**

        arr &= ~(1ULL << j);

    cnt += (i == arr);  // Directly compare with i
  }
  return cnt;
}
This final version is under 300 bytes and incorporates the suggested improvements for conciseness. It removes the `init` variable by directly comparing with `i` and further simplifies the bitwise operations within the inner loop condition. It also leverages `constexpr` for constants. It avoids unnecessary temporary variables and redundant calculations. This version prioritizes minimizing the byte count while maintaining correctness.

Output

1. **Explanation:** The function `count` iterates through all possible configurations of a 8x8 grid (represented by a 64-bit integer, where each bit corresponds to a cell). For each configuration, it simulates a single step of a cellular automaton rule where a cell becomes 0 if it's currently 1 and all its orthogonal neighbors (top, bottom, left, right) are 0. The outer cells of the grid are not updated. The function counts the number of configurations that remain unchanged after this single step. 2. **Shortening Strategies:** * **Bitwise operations for neighbor checking:** Instead of calculating neighbor positions and extracting individual bits, use bitwise shifts and masks to directly check neighbors. * **Eliminate redundant variables and calculations:** Remove unnecessary intermediate variables and combine calculations. * **Compact loops:** Use shorter loop conditions and increment steps. * **Precalculate constants:** Precalculate frequently used constants like masks. 3. **Shorter Function:**

Output

1. **Explanation:** The `count` function calculates the number of 8x8 bit patterns where no isolated '1' bit (surrounded by '0' bits) changes to '0' in a single step of a simplified cellular automaton rule. The rule is: a cell becomes '0' if and only if it is currently '1' and all its orthogonal neighbors (up, down, left, right) are '0'. The outer border cells are not updated. 2. **Shortening Strategies:** * **Bit Manipulation:** Leverage bitwise operations more effectively to avoid explicit indexing calculations. * **Loop Simplification:** Combine loops and use bit shifts instead of multiplication. * **Eliminate Redundancy:** Remove unnecessary variables and calculations. * **Pre-compute Neighbor Masks:** Instead of calculating neighbor positions each time, pre-calculate masks for each cell's neighbors. 3. **Shorter Function:**

This version is under 300 bytes. It combines the inner loops, uses shorter variable names, and removes unnecessary intermediate calculations. It also directly calculates the bit position `p` within the inner loops. The initialization of `a` uses more compact bitwise operations and constants. Finally, the comparison `(init == a)` is simplified to `(b==a)` where `b` stores the initial value of `a`.

Output

1. **Explanation:** The function `count` calculates the number of 8x8 bit patterns (represented as a 64-bit integer) where no set bit (1) is surrounded by four unset bits (0s) unless the set bit is on the border. It iterates through all possible 8x8 bit patterns (2^16 possibilities because only the inner 6x6 grid can vary, the outer layer is implicitly 0). For each pattern, it checks the inner 6x6 grid. If a set bit within this inner grid has all four neighbors unset, it clears that bit. Finally, it increments the counter if the original pattern remains unchanged after this process (meaning no inner bits were cleared). 2. **Shortening Strategies:** * **Bit Manipulation Tricks:** We can use bitwise operations more efficiently to check neighbors. * **Loop Simplification:** We can potentially simplify the nested loops. * **Eliminate Redundancy:** The code recalculates bit positions repeatedly. We can optimize this. * **Concise Variable Names:** Use shorter variable names. * **Remove Unnecessary Variables:** Some variables can be eliminated. 3. **Shorter Function:**

          a &= ~(1ULL << p);
    c += (init == a);
  }
  return c;
}
This version combines the nested loops into a single loop and further simplifies the bitwise operations. It's now well under the 300-byte limit. The outer loop bound is changed to 65536, which is equivalent to 1 << 16. The inner loops are combined by iterating from 9 to 55 with a step of 8 (covering rows 1 to 6) and then an inner loop for columns 1 to 6 within each row. The bitwise check for neighbors is simplified using the OR operator. This eliminates temporary variables and makes the code more concise.

To do this follow these steps: 1. Start out explaining what the function does in words. 2. Then find a few ways that you can make the function shorter given this explanation. 3. Write the function as short as possible. 4. See if you can make it any shorter. Return this as the final answer and call it your final answer. Make sure to name it `count` still.

Output

1. **Explanation:** The function `count` iterates through all possible 8x8 bit arrays (represented by a 64-bit integer). For each array, it simulates a single step of a cellular automaton rule. Specifically, if a cell is 'on' (1) and all its orthogonal neighbors (up, down, left, right) are 'off' (0), the cell turns 'off' (0) in the next step. The function counts how many initial arrays remain unchanged after this single step, meaning no cells were turned off. The initial configuration only sets bits on the inner 6x6 grid, ensuring border cells are always 0. 2. **Shortening Strategies:** * **Bit Manipulation Tricks:** We can use bit manipulation to more efficiently check neighbors. * **Eliminate Redundant Variables:** Many intermediate variables can be removed by combining operations. * **Loop Optimization:** The nested loops can be optimized by pre-calculating certain values. * **Simplified Logic:** The conditional logic can be streamlined using bitwise operators. * **Constants:** Pre-calculate constants instead of repeating calculations. 3. **Shorter Function:**

This version combines bitwise OR operations for neighbor checking and uses pre/post increment operators to further reduce the byte count. It's well under the 300-byte limit.
