I got an email from someone who had this as his sig:

Quote: "
int f,r,a,c,t,A,l=42;while(--l>-42)for(t=-60;t++<20;putchar(74-f))
for(A=r=f=0;++f<42&&r*r+A*A<7056;c=r+t,a=l+A,r=(c*c-a*a)/42,A=c*a/21);
"


When I compiled it and ran it, I was pretty amazed. Genius! If anyone wants a screenie I'll whip it up.

EDIT:

I removed the main function. Just copy and paste this into a console program's main function and it should work.

Its pretty dodgy C - main() should have 2 arguments and return an integer...

No, main does not need to explicitly have 2 arguments, and it doesn't need to return an integer. How is that dodgy?

Yes, it should, otherwise it is quite possible the exiting code will generate errors when the program finishes. Without the parameters it doesn't conform to standard C.

See http://www.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq2.html#void-main

The most important bit is it MUST return int.

Now that's just being anal about being a geek.

Now, if the code was C++, then main() would be fairly okay - however, as the code is C, its not...

Oh yes... Indeed. Indeedly do...

Wait, how do you know it's C? From the putchar() function?

One way. The other way, is that for some sloppy reason, C++ programmers tend to do :

for (int a=1; a<55; a++). The would also use std::out and/or std::in.

Whereas, C programmers do it like :

int a;

for (a=11; a<55; a++)

(Which is rather more readable.)

I just wanted to make sure I was the one who put in the geekest reply ever.

You win

EDIT:

Okay, to make things clearer, I removed the main() function part of the code. Just copy and paste it into any old C++ console program's main function and it should work

he missed a bracket

int f,r,a,c,t,A,l=42;while(--l>-42)for(t=-60;t++<20;putchar(74-f))
for(A=r=f=0;++f<42&&r*r+A*A<7056;c=r+t,a=l+A,r=(c*c-a*a)/42,A=c*a/21;

should be

int f,r,a,c,t,A,l=42;while(--l>-42)for(t=-60;t++<20;putchar(74-f))
for(A=r=f=0;++f<42&&r*r+A*A<7056;c=r+t,a=l+A,r=(c*c-a*a)/42,A=c*a/21);

still very cool though

notice fractal appears in partially the coding in reverse "-l>-42)f" fract backwards? f 2 4 < l- .. or am i thinking too much about this lol

hehe pretty interesting mandelbrot. I have been working with fractals a bit lately, trying to get some fractal lightning. I have seen a bunch of stuff done with POV and fractals. Anyone have any code for generating 2d/3d fractal lightning (I don't care what language)?

No, I took that out by accident when I removed the main() call.
