{{task}} Quoting from the [http://esolangs.org/wiki/Narcissist Esolangs wiki page]:

A '''narcissist''' (or '''Narcissus program''') is the decision-problem version of a [[quine]].
A quine, when run, takes no input, but produces a copy of its own source code at its output. In contrast, a narcissist reads a string of symbols from its input, and produces no output except a "1" or "accept" if that string matches its own source code, or a "0" or "reject" if it does not.

For concreteness, in this task we shall assume that symbol = character.

The narcissist should be able to cope with any finite input, whatever its length.

Any form of output is allowed, as long as the program always halts, and "accept", "reject" and "not yet finished" are distinguishable.

Befunge

Reads from stdin up to the first carriage return, line feed, or EOF. However, the latter is not guaranteed to work on all Befunge implementations - in particular not on Befunge-98 - so a line break is recommended.

Outputs 1 if the given line of input matches the source code, and 0 if it doesn't.

C

Based upon the quine. Reads until EOF or newline from stdin, and writes "1" or "0" to stdout.

Go

This version reads until EOF and expects a newline at the end of the input. If this is being checked from a file, make sure that the file has exactly one newline at the end of it.

=={{header|Icon}} and {{header|Unicon}}== {{trans|Go}} Since we can't put a link statement and program on a single line, we implement a simplified inline sprintf so we don't have to deal with all the double quotes or substrings and offsets.

## Perl 6


For the narcissist to work you must be very careful with whitespace. The following version works if it is given to standard input as exactly one line terminated by a newline character.

Note how the code takes advantage of Perl 6's ability to nest quoting delimiters.

EVAL my $self = q{say slurp() eq q[EVAL my $self = q{]~$self~q[}]~10.chr ?? q{Beautiful!} !! q{Not my type.}}
