Are you ready to have fun and learn at the same time? I know I am.

Here is an awesome filmclip that shows learning can be fun. Also weighs in at 16.6meg for the bandwidth challenged.

Right click, save as and get learning!!

8-)

I swear rev, if this clip is crap not even the collective love of this forum for you will save you.

I have absolutely no idea what the link is about so I'll add a post about an obfuscated C program that weirdly calculates pi to 3 decimal places by analysing its own source-code (I think).

Grab the file from the link above and compile it for yourself if you don't believe :)

Ow, parabol just raped my eyes! *_*

Avagadro's > Pi

I have a text file here of pi to 400 million decimal places. Who wants a 400meg text file? anyone?

edit: just watched it and all I can say is wtf?

why dude? i think its time u got help... or a girl friend.

i feel mentaly raped after trying to understand parabol's post

Rev... WTF? That video scared the f*** out of me. Although I must admit it would be cool to watch while using some sort of mind altering substance :P

Also, I just want to hit that little fat girl. What is it that makes you want to hit fat kids?

just watched it and all I can say is wtf?

mmmm pie

haha im gonna show this to my students one day

Please correct the mispell in your subject to pie before trog sees it.

that movie is pretty wack... dunno how educational it'd be either... i didnt learn a thing.

how pointless... just delete it & use 22/7 plz

Haha parabol, you just gave all the devs here a "wtf" moment.

One of them is pulling apart that c now you've set him off ;)

This is the single most nerdiest thread of all time.

For someting to do (while taking a break from my programming assignment) I ran parabols code through a c pre processor (to evaluate the #define). It suddenly became obvious how it worked, so here is the result. (Added a few comments for those not too familiar with C)


//global variables
long F=00;
long OO=00;

main()
{
F_OO(); //A function to initialise the values of F and OO

//Now that F has been initialised to -202 and OO has been initialised to -16
//It is pretty easy to see how the result is calculated. Incidentally the
//number "4." is a float not an int, so the result of the * operator will also
//be a float
printf("%1.3f\n", 4.*-F/OO/OO);
}

F_OO()
{
//The results of the following expressions are not important. The important thing
//is that the global variables F and OO are decremented. More importantly, F is
//decremented by every expression (202 times), while OO is only decremented by the expressions
//that begin (F--)>00 (16 times), this is because the second part of the or operation is only
//evaluated when the first part fails

(F--)>00 || F-(OO--);
-(F--)>00 || F-(OO--);
-(F--)>00 || F-(OO--);
-(F--)>00 || F-(OO--);

(F--)>00 || F-(OO--);
-(F--)>00 || F-(OO--);

:
:continues in this basic way for about 200 lines
:

-(F--)>00 || F-(OO--);
}


edit : abbreviated it a bit

For the perl inclined, try to wrap your head around some of these, http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Obfuscated%20Code

Did somebody say pie? No steve, not pie, pie.. oh :(

hahahahahhahaha
