Recursive tally

This is a cool recursive algorithm:

Wowwies, that’s a cool block. I’m assuming it can work with “say” and the text on stage blocks. Neat!

Thx!

Also, how’d you get the 5x tally?

It’s a special unicode character.

I love this!

What’s the code?

yes, this is lovely!

Nice, adding a single space makes it more readable.

A tally of a value dividable by 5 isn’t showing the right lines.

Fixed it, changing the n <= 5 to < 5.

Thank you! I will add the changes to my script

It reports a square. Is that on my end?

I’d assume so - maybe you entered the wrong value - it should be 119672

Ah, I’m on mobile. That’s probably it. Thanks for the help anyway!

That just means the character isn’t in the font on your device

Fun fact: That square / rectangle that appears in place of unsupported characters is called a "tofu". ͹

Suggestion: maybe use the other Unicode tally characters, to fix up the spacing a bit? (𝍪, 𝍫, and 𝍬)
Like this:

That is nice but the spacing is rather narrow so it is hard(er) to see how many lines there are.

I thought there were only characters for 1 tally and 5! Thank you!
