hi friends,

Have a look at the following code... Can u guess what this wud do...
nope... no virus nor executable code... It is a completely valid and compilable C program...
dont worry.. I have executed it on my system and it perfectly nice program

CODE

#include <stdio.h>

main(t,_,a)
char *a;
{return!0<t?t<3?main(-79,-13,a+main(-87,1-_,
main(-86, 0, a+1 )+a)):1,t<_?main(t+1, _, a ):3,main ( -94, -27+t, a
)&&t == 2 ?_<13 ?main ( 2, _+1, "%s %d %d\n" ):9:16:t<0?t<-72?main(_,
t,"@n'+,#'/*{}w+/w#cdnr/+,{}r/*de}+,/*{*+,/w{%+,/w#q#n+,/#{l,+,/n{n+\

+k#;q#'r}eKK#}w'r}eKK{nl]'/#;#q#n'){)#}w'){){nl]'/+#n';d}rw' i;# ){n\
l]!/n{n#'; r{#w'r nc{nl]'/#{l,+'K {rw' iK{;[{nl]'/w#q#\
n'wk nw' iwk{KK{nl]!/w{%'l##w#' i; :{nl]'/*{q#'ld;r'}{nlwb!/*de}'c \
;;{nl'-{}rw]'/+,}##'*}#nc,',#nw]'/+kd'+e}+;\
#'rdq#w! nr'/ ') }+}{rl#'{n' ')# }'+}##(!!/")
:t<-50?_==*a ?putchar(a[31]):main(-65,_,a+1):main((*a == '/')+t,_,a\
+1 ):0<t?main ( 2, 2 , "%s"):*a=='/'||main(0,main(-61,*a, "!ek;dc \
i@bK'(q)-[w]*%n+r3#l,{}:\nuwloca-O;m .vpbks,fxntdCeghiry"),a+1);}

ok... so u give up....
put it in ur compiler and execute it...

surprised......
yup there is a contest held every year, as to who can come up with craziest looking programs and the design and beauty of the program is taken into consideration to decide the winner....

I had a collection of such programs somewhere on my system.. will post them when I find them...

Cheers.

hmmm.... creative!!!!

sorry, i'm not game enuf to compile and run it , but yep there's points for randomness and creativity!!!

next year it needs to be written in such away that it looks like something by Leonardo Da Vinci

This process is actually similar to how zip software works. It narrows down to the most repeating group sequence and places a numeric value to repeat in a certain order. And then follow the same procedure with the next most repeating group sequence. I have never seen someone actually write that in C, however. Exciting!

I ran the program on a remote shell account for safety. It works alright. It is indeed surprising. I thought the obfuscated code contest was no more held. Thank to you, Now I am aware that it is stll in existence.

Pretty simple actually, make a C/C++ program in obfuscated code that tells riddles.
Get it? user<->utter confusion<->source viewer - it'll be fun both ways
... oh yeah, make sure it compiles on Dev-C++ (then it should compile on anything)

Yeah, you'll have to wait a little while. Apparently my bros. "accidently" reformatted my PC. So I decided since it was already blank, I might as well switch over to Linux and or the Operating System which I'm very slowly developing (still on Hello World, sadly enough). Since I've found it a pleasurable time installing Gentoo and understanding the intricated dependencies of compilers which criss-cross, it'll take some time getting everything figured out.

You're welcome cse-icons. Hey I have an idea for you. You should make a random C/C++ riddle program. That way we can be confused both ways and you'll probably get some real recognition. Looks like my dev. computer shut down... bummer. Make that week a month.

    until I close the dialog, so I was wondering if there is a way to tell the origianl program to keep
