this is my coding challenge for July 2019. it qualifies to work if it runs correctly on at least one of the following versions of Python: 2.6.x, 2.7.x, 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 3.7.x
code the smallest possible script that prints an exact copy of its own source code without reading any files.
I could only get my version down to two lines which is twice the size of ichabod801's
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Output:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
File "foo.py", line 1
File "foo.py", line 1
^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
I tested mine in 2.7 and it worked.
i'm sure many of them work. i was trying to make a larger file. i osed the method of replacing the code with the output after it was run and did that a few times, checking that it wasn't alternating (a outputs b, b outputs a) and was the same each cycle. i posted what it converged to. i could change the file name in it.
a more difficult problem: your code should output "BREAKING NEWS! WORLD ENDS!" at the end of the source it outputs.
