Task



Given an array of non-negative numbers, output the largest and smallest possible number that can be formed by joining them.



Rules



Input,Output can be in any convenient format.



The array may have at most 1 decimal number.



Examples



input:[22,33,44,55.55,33]
output:4433332255.55,55.5522333344

input:[34,900,3,11,9]
output:990034311,113349009

input:[99.93,9,3,39]
output:939399.93,99.933399

input:[45.45,45,45,45]
output:45454545.45,45.45454545

input:[12,21,34,43,45.1]
output:4334211245.1,45.112213443


This is code-golf so shortest code wins.

    Wouldn't the first output be: 4422333355.55, 55.5544333322? Those are smaller and larger respectively.

  • Would [[55.55,22,33,33,44],[44,33,33,22,55.55]] be an acceptable output format?

    • Too bad we don't have a cast to float. I remember there was one in the Legacy, but I just looked it up and apparently it was a stringified cast to float, which is pretty useless since you want floats instead of strings to sort on.. xD

    JavaScript (ES6), 68 66 bytes



    a=>[1,-1].map(n=>a.sort((a,b)=>[a%1||a]+b<[b%1||b]+a?n:-n).join``)


    Try it online!



    How?



    We use the following test to compare two values in the input array:



    [a % 1 || a] + b < [b % 1 || b] + a


    The expression x % 1 || x returns the decimal part of $x$ if $x$ is a decimal number, or leaves $x$ unchanged otherwise.



    The expression [x % 1 || x] + y coerces the above result to a string and concatenates it with the other value.



    If there's a decimal number in the list, it must always be considered as the smallest value. By applying our conversion, a decimal number is turned into a string starting with "0.", which is lexicographically ordered before anything else.



    Examples:



      a |   b | [a%1||a]+b | [b%1||b]+a
    ----+-----+------------+------------
    4 | 5 | "45" | "54"
    10 | 11 | "1011" | "1110"
    8 | 80 | "880" | "808"
    7 | 9.5 | "79.5" | "0.57"

      Jelly, 6 bytes



      Œ!VṢ.ị


      Try it online!



      Explanation:



      Œ!VṢ.ị Arguments: x
      Œ! Permutations of x
      V Concatenate the representations of each permutation's elements and evaluate the result as Jelly code
      Ṣ Sort
      .ị Get element at index 0.5, i.e. elements at indices 0 (last) and 1 (first)





      share|improve this answer























      • I never program in Jelly, but .ị is a pretty cool way of getting both the first and last item of a list. Nice answer! +1 from me.

        @KevinCruijssen It actually gets the last and first item. :P
        – Erik the Outgolfer
        2 days ago










      • I've also never programmed in Jelly, but I'm confused as to how .ị works. If I'm reading the docs correctly, I would think gets the element of y at floor(x) and ceil(x), and . is 0.5. Doesn't that mean it will get elements of y at index 0 and 1?
        – Cowabunghole
        2 days ago










      • Is Jelly 1-based indexed? That would explain this behavior but I don't see anything about that in the docs.

                    • Too bad we don't have a cast to float. I remember there was one in the Legacy, but I just looked it up and apparently it was a stringified cast to float, which is pretty useless since you want floats instead of strings to sort on.. xD

                    JavaScript (ES6), 68 66 bytes



                    a=>[1,-1].map(n=>a.sort((a,b)=>[a%1||a]+b<[b%1||b]+a?n:-n).join``)


                    Try it online!



                    How?



                    We use the following test to compare two values in the input array:



                    [a % 1 || a] + b < [b % 1 || b] + a


                    The expression x % 1 || x returns the decimal part of $x$ if $x$ is a decimal number, or leaves $x$ unchanged otherwise.



                    The expression [x % 1 || x] + y coerces the above result to a string and concatenates it with the other value.



                    If there's a decimal number in the list, it must always be considered as the smallest value. By applying our conversion, a decimal number is turned into a string starting with "0.", which is lexicographically ordered before anything else.



                    Examples:



                      a |   b | [a%1||a]+b | [b%1||b]+a
                    ----+-----+------------+------------
                    4 | 5 | "45" | "54"
                    10 | 11 | "1011" | "1110"
                    8 | 80 | "880" | "808"
                    7 | 9.5 | "79.5" | "0.57"

                            • I've also never programmed in Jelly, but I'm confused as to how .ị works. If I'm reading the docs correctly, I would think gets the element of y at floor(x) and ceil(x), and . is 0.5. Doesn't that mean it will get elements of y at index 0 and 1?

                            • Is Jelly 1-based indexed? That would explain this behavior but I don't see anything about that in the docs.

                            Nice work! You can save 2 bytes by dropping the parentheses around your argument (->a{...) and another 9 by using the handy minmax method: tio.run/…
