Without Cheeting [IGNORE USE OTHER THREAD]

Ok,

Since there are some programmers in here (not me I'm affraid, did it at Uni and thought it would drive me up the wall doing it day in day out, lol), I thought I would share some code that I picked up at Uni.

Its quite simple, WITHOUT compiling it, can anyone tell me what this C code does ? (Apparently it won a competition some time ago for the most unreadible code, or something like that).

If you do want to compile it (don't post what it does for a week or so incase anyone is mad enough to try and work it out), how does it work (never bothered to try and understand it myself but if anyone else wants to and try to explain it then, go ahead, hehe)

DEFINATELY COMPILES NOW

The code is here www.onlineweblinks.com/upload/enigma.txt

For some reason it will not work if i post the code directly into this thread.

didn't amount to much, came up with 25 errors, and i was using some well known compilers known to man

I think it was written in c++ not c, if it makes any difference ? I have compiled it, will take a look

i compiled it as a c++ program, not as C. then i tried again as a c++ file. the number of errors remain the same. not that it means anything. went through the list of errors. ranges from missing statements, incomplete statements, illegal function calls etc etc etc.

Strange as i have definately compiled it when at Uni. I have the exe file here for it. Hmmm, just downloading a compiler now to take a quick look

let me know if it comes out with anything. also let me know of which compiler you used. i used the normal Turbo C compiler, and then the MSDev compilers
