I was code golfing on stack exchange and came across a simple but interesting problem. The task was to create a program which will print 2014 without using any numeric characters [0123456789] and also it should not depend on 2014 being the current year.
If the 2nd constraint was not placed, it could have been a trivial program in q, just calling .z.d and casting it to year.
q)`year$.z.d
2014i Since it a was a code golf program, i tried multiple solutions to save characters.
Here are some of the solutions which i thought; you are most welcome to add if something more smaller comes in your mind.
