What's The Longest Word You Can Write With Seven-Segment Displays?

That's right, we're kicking Season 2 of the Basics off with a technical episode about a somewhat-obsolete technology! IT'S PARTY TIME. Wait, no, not party time. IT'S CODE TIME. Close enough.
Let's talk about seven-segment displays, and about the longest word you can write with them.

0:29 Actually, in 1908 when the 7-segmented display was invented, cursive was by far the most common way of writing, and in cursive, the top of the four is separated just like in the 7-segmented display. You can actually look up notes from 1904 and you will all see them in cursive, and every time the year is written by hand (not by a stamp) the 4 is separated at the top. So we haven't "gotten used to it" but instead we have drifted away from using cursive. The more you know! And in case you were wondering, I write the top of my fours separated, and that's what got me down this rabbit hole.

Just shouting into the void as this is years on since the video was posted: I was playing with some 7-segment displays recently and had this exact problem as I needed to output words that used the forbidden characters. Technically we could print every character (upper and lowercase and a fair bit of punctuation) if we were "flexible" in how the letters looked. Map each bit to a segment and we could represent every character from 1-128. So if you're ever in a position where you needed to communicate with someone using only 7-segment displays but needed to write "wax kumquat in gauze" then it's perhaps a workable solution.

But if you can't look at a problem and say "okay I can solve this with a for loop that checks against a regex and pushes to an array, let me just google how Python implements arrays", then you need to study more.

@@matek9975 Trust me, when you work in the abuse department of a major webhosting company and have to write regex to filter spam you'll "git good" at regex or die trying. The real regex gods all sit in such departments. Whenever there is a fresh wave being pushed through a number of mailservers which have a 100 Gbps pipe you have to be fast at writing regexes or a) your customers get pissed about too much spam or b) you'll end up being blacklisted by other ISPs. And then you have to deal with limited regex engines that don't allow backreferences etc. And spammers are very creative in bypassing your regexes... so if you want to learn how to use regex in the real world... work at the abuse department of an ISP. :D I hated regexes before that, now I love them :D

kazedcat TM If you count an L as 1 stroke then the other way of writing a 4 counts as 1 stroke. If you count the other way of writing a 4 as 3 strokes then they are both 3 strokes. That top-left being easier is an interesting idea. But the way i write 1, 2, 3, and 5 leaves my pen at the bottom so staying bottom if a 4 is next sounds easier. 6, 8 and 9 leave my pen in the middle so it doesn't matter. And only for 7 and 0 does it end up at the top so staying top is easier. Is there some reason I'm missing that makes starting top-left preferable?

[@kazedcat]

@@the1exnay You can write U in one stroke with one stroke but to write a V you need to stop and reverse direction so you need two stroke to produce a clear pointy bottom. With 4 you need clear pointy corners otherwise it will look like a 9. So you need 3 stroke to write a legible to other people number 4. I use to write 5 like you.

Not only is 8 bits convenient for storing. When your microcontroller writes to output pins, it will often use ports. Basically, a group of 8 outputs. Each group corresponds to a byte somewhere in memory. It allows you to write all 8 pins in one single clock tick, instead of turning on each individual pin one by one. And you can also make a look-up table with characters that you can display on the display by just writing that one entry directly to the port. A long story short, it makes the whole processing more convenient, not just the storage. Source: I'm an embedded systems engineer (in training)

China here.

And I witnessed a really rare case in a really weird traffic condition. It went up to O (24x). I forgot how they dealt with K (shame). But since all they have to do is to make every letter distinguishable from other ones (drivers can see a strange shape, and think either it's 100+ or the light is broken), for the tricky letters: G - yeah they just did the 6 without the bit in the middle. I - to tell it from number 1, it used the two lines on the left of the display while the number used the two on the right. M and N - M is a big arch (0 without the bottom), N is a small arch. O - to tell it apart from number 0, the letter O uses the small square. Sadly this scene never, ever, ever happened in my life again.

Also Tom, I would like to give my two cents on the google in programming debate. I've worked as a programmer for 9+ years now (I'm 26) and I've found that everybody uses Google. There is a great example of a guy being confounded by accidentally upvoting himself on stack overflow after finding his own solution to a problem from 3 years prior not actually realising it's his own username. I still code mostly in C with occasional Swift sprinkled in. I remember the olden days, when in my dads office we'd look through endless Reference books and my uncle had shelves full of Linux and Ruby "In a nutshell" guides from O'Reilly. All forgotten eras now. I google stuff daily! It's *the* Reference book of the modern age. Skill is always contemporary. I learned how to analyse opcode at University. I had forgotten everything when it actually came to use it. You can do anything thanks to google. You just need to have the balls and the dedication to break the problem down. The only thing that one needs to address individually is coding style and good practise. Not every solution on the web is created equal. So in my company for example I established a style guide. Based on MISRA. I broke it down to 65 simple rules (some added by me) that are easy to reference, covering things like no gotos, no uninitialised or empty functions, always write catch all routines and where to indent.
