## Judges' remarks
## Judges' remarks:
This obfuscation functions at several levels. Note the clever
use of use of #defines. The do(if,else) #define, for example,
use of use of `#define`s. The `#define do(if,else)`, for example,
is delightful. The code itself contains a bunch of curves
designed to throw you off axis. :-)
## Author's remarks
## Author's remarks:
This application graphs polynomials on a standard Cartesian coordinate
system. Polynomials of the form ax^0 + bx^1 + cx^2 + ... are graphed by
passing the coefficients a, b, c, etc. as double precision arguments.
It allows up to 8 parameters (thus up to x^7).
This application graphs polynomials on a standard Cartesian coordinate system.

Points of note:
### Points of note:
- the x axis goes from -32 to +31
- the y axis auto scales!
- up to 8 coefficients may be passed in
- the [x axis](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/x-Axis.html) goes from `-32` to `+31`
- the [y axis](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/y-Axis.html) auto scales!
- up to 8 [coefficients](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient) may be passed in
- the graph will determine direction and use slashes and
dashes rather than simple block X's.
