### 3. IMPLEMENTATION
|
||||
|
||||
It's better to just read the code. But note the use of stack in the
|
||||
implementation of `@` and `!` operators, and note the use of `*#i` in one of the
|
||||
macros (can you see why?). Extreme compression has been the key in writing this
|
||||
program. With compression have come the use of ASCII code numbers instead of
|
||||
program. With compression comes the use of ASCII code numbers instead of
|
||||
character constants and so on. (This particular obfuscation is not really a
|
||||
desirable one as it is not completely portable. But it certainly was a necessary
|
||||
one.)
|
||||
|
||||
What does `i(=)` do or does it do anything? Why?
