Ah, yes, maybe *that's* why I didn't get it?! ;P

Well, that's (1) not plain C but C++, and (b) obfuscated. Plain, common-style C
would be:

int i; for (i=0;i<10;i++) vec[i]=i*i;

Um... for an obfuscated code contest - yes, I guess so :P

I don't claim the C family of languages to have a less obfuscated syntax - but I
have a feeling that at least the basic concept is much more "digestible" to the
average programmer...
