The problem is, as it stands you seem to make it a priority to write
compact code over correct code, wasting everybody's time.

If you hadn't been insisting on trying to reduce the number of lines
of the various given proposals, you might already have a working
solution and be working on something else.

As it is all your attempts to reduce the number of lines while retaining
its simplicity and straightforward logic behind it have only resulted in
you producing code that didn't work.

People like you who judge code in one language by how much it resembles
code in an other language are like people who used to work with glue but
need to work with hammer and nails for some reason and are surprised
they just can't subtituted nails for glue and fail to see they may have
to rethink the design. So they just keep trying glue solutions with
nails and every nail solution that is offered by people who have
experience with nails, they will adapt until it looks like it could be
a glue solution. In the mean time all these glue solutions fail and
much time is wasted.
