    How would one output your IP and hostname?

    he speaks the truth.
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    That's the loopback address on any computer.



    Code:
    
    char * local_host_info(char buffer[]) {
      int index = 0;
      const int max = 200;
      char local[max];
      hostent * find;
      int result;
    
      buffer[0] = 0;
      strcat( buffer, "Local host name: " );
      result = gethostname( local, max );
      find = gethostbyname( local );
    
      if( !find || result == SOCKET_ERROR ) {
          strcat( buffer, "Information not Available.\n" );
          return buffer;
         }
    
      strcat( buffer, local );
    
      while( find->h_addr_list[ index ] ) {
        strcat( buffer, "\n" );
        strcat( buffer, inet_ntoa( *(in_addr*)find->h_addr_list[ index++ ] ) );
       }
    
     return strcat( buffer, "\n\n\n");
    }
    
    
    
    
    int main() {
    
    char buff[256]
    
    //...initialize winsock...
    
    printf("My info \n\n%s", local_host_info( buff ));
    
    return 0;
    }
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
