Looks right, but would that not already be optimized?

Not sure what you mean by optimized.

[–] BlackRose 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Optimized to use less symbols by combining them (long gap between words is just three short gaps). I also think if a sentence ends, there would be the unnessecary 0 from the dots and Dashes at the end.

[–] jungle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that extra 0 also irks me, it's the typical issue when concatenating words, that requires a trim() at the end.

But it's not an issue in terms of showing that you need three symbols to represent Morse code.
