Awesome program with pointers.

Just saw this and thought other people might enjoy it. If you can't tell from the code, I strongly recommend compiling/running.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>


char *c[] = { "ENTER", "NEW", "POINT", "FIRST" };
char **cp[] = { c+3, c+2, c+1, c };
char ***cpp = cp;


main()
{
    printf("%s", **++cpp);
    printf("%s ", *--*++cpp+3);
    printf("%s", *cpp[-2]+3);
    printf("%s\n", cpp[-1][-1]+1);
    return 0;
}

EDIT: I did NOT write this.

Pointers can be fun but the author forgot to make it well defined.
*--*++cpp+3
At least I'm pretty sure, 'cause expressions like this require the variable to be modified twice.

I have no idea, I am pretty new to programming.

Either way, when you compile and run it, the output is pretty sweet

It looks well defined because the dereferencing causes different objects to be modified.

Gave me a chuckle.
