Look at Thorsten's last post to this thread and you will see the compiled results.

  And you were the one who doesn't indent pov-code... ;)

  The code doesn't try to be clear. On the contrary: it tries to be as
obfuscated as possible and also as short as possible (everyone hates long
signatures) so that you can't see what does it do. Only when you compile
and run it you get the surprise.

But it is the answer to all that! You know: Warp! (in the imperative sense
of the word, as in: "Get the hell out of here!")....

So, here we go (excuses to Nieminen for stealing his method), not
nice, but clearly visible to all that know the question:


main(i){char*_="D#Fb$FA(FEBFgFH!Fh#F";while(i=*_++)
for(;i>1;printf("%s",i-70?i&1?"[]":" ":(i=0,"\n")),i/=2);}

Without even knowing programmer-ese I can guess what it might do :)

And for those that don't, here's the output:

  []   [][]
 []   []  []
[]        []
[] []    []
[][][]  []
   []  []
   [] [][][]

(view it using a monospaced font)
