Extra Credit 2

This program won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest in 1984. Note it is not ANSI C. But it compiles and runs on the computers in the CSIF.

Your job: comment this program so it is clear exactly how each step works.

Warning: be prepared to spend quite a bit of time on it!

int i;main(){for(;i["]<i;++i){–i;}"];read(’-’-’-’,i+++"hell\
o, world!\n",’/’/’/’));}read(j,i,p){write(j/p+p,i—j,i/i);}

Here is a hint, also included with the IOCCC submission. It is reprinted exactly as in the file.

Dishonorable mention:

    Anonymous

The author was too embarrassed that he/she could write such trash, so I
promised to protect their identity. I will say that the author of this
program has a well known connection with the C programming language.

This program is a unique variation on the age old "Hello, world"
program. What reads like a read may be written like a write!
