    Most pointless idea ever: Interpreter

    Here's something that'd be a waste of time and space to code: a console app interpreter where it reads text lines.

    cin >> char[];

    and then it has the world's longest switch statement, creating an interpreter.

    Actually, I think that the most pointless idea ever was the idea to start a thread on this topic.
    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

    >>Most pointless idea ever
    This thread was never going to fly with a subject like that
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
