Yeah - simple bad naming of variables and weird indentation is nowhere
*near* the degree of weirdness these guys get up to. I don't think
you could automate the kinds of creative obfuscation you need to get
your code into the winner's circle at IOCCC.
They do stuff that most people don't believe would even
compile! This is 'Duffs Device' for example:
The code prints the 'a' asterisks.
int a = some_number ;
int n = ( a + 4 ) / 5 ;
switch ( a % 5 )
{
case 0: do
{
putchar ( '*' ) ;
case 4: putchar ( '*' ) ;
case 3: putchar ( '*' ) ;
case 2: putchar ( '*' ) ;
case 1: putchar ( '*' ) ;
} while ( --n ) ;
}
printf ( "\n" ) ;
