I think c ! 2 is the third element of c, not unlike c[2].
switch (size(c)) {
   case 3:
     switch (size(c[0]), size(c[1]), size(c[2])) {
       case (1,2,3):
          return c[0][0] + c[1][0] + c[2][0];
       default:
          return 0;
     }
   default:
     return 0;
}

It's not *that* hard to figure out. :-)

You should look into playing around with a completely different kind of 
programming language not based on C.  Erlang or APL or something like that.
