i hadnt heard of obfuscation before i heard of the comptt. now how
do i get curiosity in something i never heard of. plus if u are
thinking that i picked up some code directly from the mailing list
and reproduced it there, u r wrong. the code came up on the list a
day after the contest. if i had done that i wud have got the 1st
prize , as the guy who did get the 1st prize did very similar
things to those that were dicussed on the mail.
what i did was somethiong diff....
i #defined & re #defined functions like scanf, printf, for , while
etc etc as coke, pepsi, chicken, paneer etc etc.and to do a simple
things like printing a msg ,i jumped 4 functions and did that.
my code was supposed to take a string from a user and print it
char by char. i had 100 lines of code for such a simple thing.
hope matters are cleared now and HOPE U R CONVINCED THAT EVERY
THING WAS /FAIR/...
