Is C program amazing or not

[neerajkirola]

Hello world

This 9 line C program

#include <stdio.h> 
 main(){ int a,b,c;int count = 1; for (b = c = 10; a = "- FIGURE?, UMKC,XYZHello Folks,\ 
      TFy!QJu ROo TNn(ROo)SLq SLq ULo+\ 
      UHs UJq TNn*RPn/QPbEWS_JSWQAIJO^\ 
      NBELPeHBFHT}TnALVlBLOFAkHFOuFETp\ 
      HCStHAUFAgcEAelclcn^r^r\\tZvYxXy\ 
      T|S~Pn SPm SOn TNn ULo0ULo#ULo-W\ 
      Hq!WFs XDt!"[b+++21]; ) 
       for(; a-- >64 ; ) putchar ( ++c=='Z' ? c = c/ 9:33^b&1); return 0; } 
To run program in linux terminal type

gcc filename.c  
./a.out 

The output is this Map of India.

Is it amazing naah??? Can anybody do that? make your country map and share the code bellow the comment section.

Writing code that is hard to read, hard to understand and hard to debug is retarded.

I would agree, if not for this:

The whole point of the challenge is to write obfuscated code. Which in my opinion makes it pretty neat.

[manon_gfx]

That's some pretty nice obfuscation!

[hirushaadi]

nice obfuscation

So most legacy code?

[Dat Guy]

Yes, indeed.

That's nothing special to C, here's the same program transliterated into java

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
     int a, b,c; for (b = c = 10; (a = ("- FIGURE?, UMKC,XYZHello Folks,"+
      "TFy!QJu ROo TNn(ROo)SLq SLq ULo+"+
      "UHs UJq TNn*RPn/QPbEWS_JSWQAIJO^"+
      "NBELPeHBFHT}TnALVlBLOFAkHFOuFETp"+
      "HCStHAUFAgcEAelclcn^r^r\\tZvYxXy"+ 
      "T|S~Pn SPm SOn TNn ULo0ULo#ULo-W"+
      "Hq!WFs XDt!").getBytes()[b+++21]) > 0; ) 
       for(; a-- >64 ; ) System.out.print( (char)(++c=='Z' ? c = c/ 9:33^b&1));
  }
}

(it does throw at the end rather than exiting cleanly, but addressing that would require a bit more refactoring, and it does print the same map first). It requires two type conversions, but otherwise looks the same.

 

It's a bit obfuscated, but it's just encoding the number of !s to print in the char codes.

public static void main(final String[] args) {
    int a, b, c;
    for (b = c = 10; (a =("- FIGURE?, UMKC,XYZHello Folks," +
            "TFy!QJu ROo TNn(ROo)SLq SLq ULo+" +
            "UHs UJq TNn*RPn/QPbEWS_JSWQAIJO^" +

            .getBytes()[b+++0x1_5])> 0&&b <0b10_1101_00;)
        while (a --> 64) System.out.print((char) (++c == 'Z' ? c/= 9:33 ^ b&1));
}

 

And here's the same code converted to Kotlin

fun main() {
    val s = """

        |ETpHCStHAUFAgcEAelclcn^r^r\tZvY
        |xXyT|S~Pn SPm SOn TNn ULo0ULo#U
        |Lo-WHq!WFs XDt!""".trimMargin()

    val xor = intArrayOf(0, 0, 0b10_10).also { it[1] = it[2] }
    while (s.filter { `n != n` -> `n != n` != '\n' } [xor[1]+++0x1_5].also { xor [0]=it .code} > '\u0000' && xor[1].toChar() < '\u00b4')
       while(xor [0] --> 64) print(Char(if (++xor [2] == 'Z'.code) 9.let { and -> xor[2] /= and; xor[2] } else 33 xor (xor [1] and 1)))
}
