The commit a1c86c8a7a modified
the navigation bars to include "Original C", so all tarballs
had be update, sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦). In particular:
The navigation bar for a winning entry now has a "_Original C_" link
(between the ✅ and the Inventory on the right hand side) so that one
may easily view the original C code that was submitted for IOCCC judging.
In addition, a number of other commits since that time
modified other winning entries.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.
To build:
make
There is an alt version which is the originally submitted entry. See Alternate code below for details.
To use:
./prog <a number of arguments>
Try:
./try.sh
Alternate code:
An alternate version of this entry, prog.alt.c, is provided. This alternate code does not contain improvements suggested by Gil Dogon; it is the author's original entry.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
Use prog.alt as you would prog above.
Judges' remarks:
For this one liner it is best to avoid prime numbers. The output groups factors in the x-y dimensions. How many factors can be represented before you run out of command line argument space? How could you modify the program to experiment with numbers that have more or larger factors?
Author's remarks:
Visual factorization 1-liner. Try:
gcc -o prog prog.c
./prog @
./prog @ @
./prog @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @
Inspired by Animated Factorization Diagrams.
prog.alt.c is the original version that I submitted. Gil Dogon kindly improved it during the review. Thank you!
