May 28, 2017 at 11:55 comment added user223 @Aurora0001 Programming is about efficiency, and the shorter answer is generally more efficient than a long, work-around one.
May 28, 2017 at 10:51 comment added Aurora0001 @subscript You should post that as an answer, since it seems like a good idea. Ideas on how to find an appropriate size limit would be interesting, too—my solution may be much shorter than theirs, but a longer solution might not be unreasonable necessarily.
May 28, 2017 at 10:47 comment added Aurora0001 @thesecretmaster More general solutions would be ideal, but Python would be the language I'm most interested in evaluating.

May 28, 2017 at 10:34 comment added thesecretmaster rubocop is a static code analyzer. It works by looking at the code without running it and evaluating for best practices, etc.
May 28, 2017 at 10:28 comment added ItamarG3 @thesecretmaster perhaps looking into how rubocop works could be insightful
May 28, 2017 at 10:27 comment added thesecretmaster What language? For ruby there is a static code analyzer that checks for best practice called rubocop. Maybe there is a similar utility for the language of your choice
May 28, 2017 at 10:23 comment added ItamarG3 I would suggest solving this with programming. I would make a neural network that would evaluate the students' answers. But I feel like that's overkill. Then again, that is sometimes my style ;)
May 28, 2017 at 10:00 comment added user223 Setting a limit on the size of the program should force them to not make large and unnecessary programs or functions. For the example you gave, set the limit to 50 characters, or something around that range. That will make them try to shorten the program as much as possible.
