I got into code-golfing recently and tried to write the smallest tautogram checker.



A tautogram is a sentence in which all words start with the same letter, for example: Flowers flourish from France.



Given a sentence as input, determine whether it is a tautogram.



Test Cases



Flowers flourish from France
True

This is not a Tautogram
False


I came up with this python code (because it is my main language):



print(True if len(list(set([x.upper()[0] for x in __import__('sys').argv[1:]]))) == 1 else False)


Usage:



python3 tautogram.py Flowers flourish from France
# True
python3 tautogram.py This is not a Tautogram
# False


The sentence may contain commas and periods, but no other special characters, only upper and lower case letters and spaces.



Its size is 98 bytes. Is there a smaller solution in any language?

      Clojure, 80 bytes



      Try it online!. TIO doesn't support Clojure's standard String library though, so the first version will throw a "Can't find lower-case" error.





      (fn[s](use '[clojure.string])(apply =(map first(map lower-case(split s #" ")))))


      Ungolfed:



      (defn tautogram? [s]
      (use '[clojure.string])
      (->> (split s #" ") ; Get words
      (map lower-case)
      (map first) ; Get first letter of each word
      (apply =))) ; And make sure they're all the same


      I made a version that avoids the import:



      (fn [s](apply =(map #(if(<(-(int %)32)65)(int %)(-(int %) 32))(map first(take-nth 2(partition-by #(= % )s))))))

      ; -----

      (defn tautogram? [s]
      (->> s
      (partition-by #(= % )) ; Split into words
      (take-nth 2) ; Remove spaces
      (map first) ; Get first letter
      ; Convert to uppercased letter code
      (map #(if (< (- (int %) 32) 65) ; If attempting to uppercase puts the letter out of range,
      (int %) ; Go with the current code
      (- (int %) 32))) ; Else go with the uppercased code
      (apply =))) ; And check if they're all equal


      But it's 112 Bytes.

      (-split$args|% s*g 0 1|sort -u).count-eq1


      Try it online!



      Takes input and splits it on whitespace. Loops through each word, and grabs the first letter by taking the substring starting at position 0 and going for 1 character. Then sorts the letters (case-insensitive by default) with the -unique flag to pull out only one copy of each letter, and verifies the count of those names are -equal to 1. Output is implicit.

                I think the input is allowed to start with a space, and this doesn't work for input like that.

                indeed it's not a test case, but this can be handled adding (?> *), using atomic group to match space at beginning and to pevent bactracking. just ` *` doesn't work because after failing matches will backtrack ` *` to match empty string

                however reading the question again spaces can occur at the beginning beause in the example the usage is to pass the words as argument and spaces are shell argument delimiter

                              Clojure, 80 bytes



                              Try it online!. TIO doesn't support Clojure's standard String library though, so the first version will throw a "Can't find lower-case" error.





                              (fn[s](use '[clojure.string])(apply =(map first(map lower-case(split s #" ")))))


                              Ungolfed:



                              (defn tautogram? [s]
                              (use '[clojure.string])
                              (->> (split s #" ") ; Get words
                              (map lower-case)
                              (map first) ; Get first letter of each word
                              (apply =))) ; And make sure they're all the same


                              I made a version that avoids the import:



                              (fn [s](apply =(map #(if(<(-(int %)32)65)(int %)(-(int %) 32))(map first(take-nth 2(partition-by #(= % )s))))))

                              ; -----

                              (defn tautogram? [s]
                              (->> s
                              (partition-by #(= % )) ; Split into words
                              (take-nth 2) ; Remove spaces
                              (map first) ; Get first letter
                              ; Convert to uppercased letter code
                              (map #(if (< (- (int %) 32) 65) ; If attempting to uppercase puts the letter out of range,
                              (int %) ; Go with the current code
                              (- (int %) 32))) ; Else go with the uppercased code
                              (apply =))) ; And check if they're all equal


                              But it's 112 Bytes.

                                      Perl 5 (-p), 20 bytes



                                      $_=!/^(.).* (?!1)/i


                                      TIO



                                      following comments in case bad punctuation (31 bytes)



                                      $_=!/^W*+(.).*(?=bw)(?!1)/i

                                      otherwise there's another approach, also with 31 bytes:



                                      $hord()%32++for/w+/g;$_=2>%h
