Guess the output

[Pecos]

Any language, any type of algorithm.. post it and guess at others.. I'll start:

Java:
for (int i=0;i<(new Date()).getMonth();i++) {
System.out.print(i/2);
}

Hmmm. At a guess, this would print something like:
0
0.5
1
... intervals of 0.5 up to
4.5

(assuming that the month is October).

At least, I think that's how it would work (with my complete lack of knowledge with Java).....

Nope! Any other guesses?

Either it wouldn't work, or it'll print out lilJim's answer, only all on one line.

What does this function do in C++?

static int comp(const void *a, const void *b)
{
return strcmp(*(char **)a, *(char **)b);
}

Wrong!

Yes, it would print it out all on one line, but the numbers would be different. First of all, division ignores the remainder and only returns integers. So the output would be 001122.. and so on.

and Date.getMonth() would return the current month number - 1, or 9.

Pointers to a and b are casted to char pointers and compaired as to which one is smaller or comes first in alphabetical order. But I'm not so sure that an int is returned, perhaps it's a bool.

My C++ is a bit rusty, so maybe I'm a little off... I don't know why void is used in the parameters being passed in either... o_O
