Dear Sir(Paul Herring),
It is none of the things that you stated. Actually i am just a student
at an university who is trying to creatively use the many things
available in C language :-) . And one more thing thanks for the mail I
never had an idea that that kind of code can be used in obfuscating the
code =-O
On topic : I have one more code to share which i wrote for the same
problem. but it works for positive ints only it is as follows:
int biggest (int a, int b) {
int result;
(a-b)<0 && (result = b);
(b-a)<0 && (result =a);
(a-b) == 0 && (result=a);
}
sadly the above snippet works only for positive ints(as far as i know)
any ideas to shorten it, or make it work for negative ints??
Regards
anup
