##Confusing Code##

[IcemanBo]

Hey, I thought it could be fun to fuck our brains if we just write some code for
a purpose or no certain purpose, or just a small/easy algorithm in a complex way.

You write a code, and people have to guess for example the purpose or solution of your code.
Try to write the code tricky and obfuscated, so people need to carefully think about it before they answer.

GUIDE ABOUT JOB ENSURANCE - PROPER CODE MAINTAINABILITY

Your code can be done in GUI or JASS. Does not matter,
but try to keep it in bounds, and don't paste 2000 lines.^^
If you find a solution please first contact the code-maintainer to not ruin it for others immediatly.

You also can post any code without having the last one solved.

I just start with an example, playing with booleans. What output will this code print? :

Hidden scope CodeTest initializer init function foo_bar takes boolean NOT returns boolean if (NOT) then return not(NOT) elseif (TRUE == (bj_UNIT_FACING > 269.2121)) then return not((3)<2) else return not(true) endif endfunction function foo takes boolean fOO returns boolean return foo_bar(not(fOO)) endfunction private function init takes nothing returns nothing local boolean fooo set fooo = not(foo(3==2)) if not(true) == (-2>1) or foo_bar(false) != not(TRUE) and (((((((-1+(-1)*-1)==0) == fooo))))) then call BJDebugMsg("1") else call BJDebugMsg("2") endif endfunction endscope

(Yes, you could run the code, but that's not the sense )

Aren't good documentation and comments a necessity in the Spell Section?

That's some confusing code you got there.

"The Hive Workshop > Town Hall > Off-Topic"

I assumed it is a code he needs to moderate in the Spell Section because why waste time complaining about bad coding if it is not to be moderated.

 

[IcemanBo]

^Nono. It's just all for fun. Nothing to do with spell section.
You can write any complex code/trigger as well and give us trying it to solve.

 

[edo494]

"You write a code, and people have to guess for example the purpose or solution of your code."

not hard to miss it, third line

 

[Flux]

Hahaha. wtf. So this is all for fun..
I thought Iceman was complaining.
Damn! Something is messing up with my brain.
When I first read it, it sounds sarcastic

Some coders might already know this kind of programming, but what is the purpose of function myFunc
and what values will have the two integers after calling it in init?

function myFunc takes integer i, integer j returns integer
    if(j == 0) then
        return i
    elseif (j > 0) then
        return (myFunc(i, j - 1)) + 1
    elseif (j < 0) then
        return (myFunc(i, j + 1)) - 1
    endif
endfunction

function init takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer int_1 = myFunc(3, 5)
    local integer int_2 = myFunc(3, -1)
endfunction

Edit:

Solution It is a mathematical addition solved in a recursiv way. So... int_1 = 8 int_2 = 2

 

[GhostThruster]

dunno programming but 8 and 2?

 

[Daffa]

@Icemanbo, ugh, that's some ugly recursion math. I hate that when I was on Computer Olympiad.

@Everyone, Anyway, let me think of something VERY VERY easy...

function A takes integer X, integer Y returns integer
 loop
 set X = X+Y
 set Y = Y+1
 if X mod Y = 0 then
  endloop
  return 1
 endif
endfunction

function onInit takes nothing returns nothing
 local integer EasyQuestion = A(5, 5)
endfunction

Note, I use pseudo Jass since I use mobile.
Just don't tell me you're calculating the whole code just to answer it xD

EDIT :
@Icemanbo
I would say it's 8 for int_1 and 2 for int_2.
hope my memories was correct.
Been awhile since I calculate like that.

EDIT :
Well, GhostThruster beats me to it.

EDIT :
Fixed the code in the post. I should have notice it earlier >.>

And the solution is clear anyway now :

Solution

in the old code, it can't be answered (infinite loop), and the new code means it result in 1

 

[IcemanBo]

Yeah since some guys privately messaged me or posted in thread already, I edited my post with solution.

 

[Daffa]

Edited my post with solution and pointed my own error.
My apologies.

I'll reread my code more carefully next time.
=========

function X takes integer A, integer B, integer C returns integer
 set A = B
 set B = C
 set C = A

 if A mod B == B mod C then
  set C = A*B*C mod C
 else
  set C = A
 endif

 if A mod B = C
 then
 set A = B
 else
 set A = C
 endif

 return A+B+C
endfunction

function Test takes nothing returns nothing
 local Coordinate1 = X(1,2,3)
 local Coordinate2 = X(10,15,20)*X(20,30,40)
endfunction

Another pseudo code, but I'm sure this one doesn't get glitchy at all like the last one (since I avoid loops )
EDIT :
Added highlights
Now, answer it if you can

 

[edo494]

can you make the keywords lowercase? I want that shiny highlightning

 

[Daffa]

There

EDIT :
No PM or Answer to my code yet

 

[IcemanBo]

The first one should be 8.
The second one maybe 50*110=5500

I thought to revive this, maybe someone has some something to share.
I will also think about what to share next...

I added some imagination boost at top of the thread for all! (chapter about documentation was one of my favorites)

 

[KILLCIDE]

The first one should be 8.

Hmm I think I might be missing something... I get 7

 

[Daffa]

And the one who made the question forgot the answer

Let's just go to another code, shall we?

function Main takes integer A returns integer
 integer B = A
 set A = A/2
 returns A*B
endfunction

function Main2 takes integer A returns integer
 integer B = A/2
 set A = Main(B)
 returns A-B
endfunction

function Q takes nothing returns integer
 integer A = Main2(20)
 returns A
endfunction

What is the output of Q?

 

[GhostWolf]

I think you people miss the point.

The idea isn't to make obfuscated code that does nothing whatsoever. The idea is to make code that actually does something, but in a way that isn't immediately visible. Most questions I saw involved trees (insert, search, etc.), because those are the easiest kind of things to write in weird ways (incidentally, these are also the kind of questions you get when you begin to learn programming at university).

Finding a solution to the problems posted so far involves running them in your head for a minute. Where's the challenge of figuring the logic behind the code? That moment where seemingly random operations suddenly make sense, and it clicks.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just look at any assembly listing of a compiled program if you want obfuscated code that does something useful.
