Can You Make This More Obfuscated?

Collatz Conjecture 1 liner:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
int main(){for(unsigned int i = 2;i <= 100;i++)for(volatile unsigned int j = i;j > 1 && (true, (std::cout << j << " ")) ? true : (false, (std::cout << std::endl)) == false; (j % 2 == 0) ? j /= 2 : j = 3 * j + 1);return 0;}

---

Actually, I take that back. A one liner with statement ending semicolons isn't a one liner, but you get the idea.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    for(unsigned int i = 2;i <= 100;i++)
          for(volatile unsigned int j = i;j > 1 && (true, (std::cout << j << " ")) ? true : (false, (std::cout << std::endl)) == false; (j % 2 == 0) ? j /= 2 : j = 3 * j + 1);
    return 0;
}

Code Indentation???

I could make it considerably more obfuscated.

1): use digraphs and trigraphs instead
2): use template class recursion with specialization for the outer loop
3): use template class recursion with specialization for the inner loop
4): use template specialization to control the alternating update of the inner loop
5): use global statics masquerading as members with constructors to generate the output
6): use a meaningless nested table with a switch to control what the constructor should do
7): use partial macro implementation with recursion to confound the logic of everything
8): profit???

Seriously, is there a reason that this thread exists beyond "Can you do this better than me?"? I fine with that. People post projects and stuff all the time. But if that is all this is you should consider asking an administrator to move it. So, if that is the case, do I win?

Doesn't that defeat the point of obfuscation? Maybe you understand what obfuscation is, but you don't know how to use it. Hm?

He really means obfuscated not badly indented....
First, I think you should stop being personal.
Second, know what really obfuscation means.

Obfuscated code isn't necessarily indented.

In fact, people take the opportunity to draw stuff, sometimes. The winning entry here spelled HELLO WORLD in block letters.

There's a program that estimates pi that's a big circle floating around the internet, too.

What on earth is that 'volatile' doing in there?!

Wow. Beautiful. I've certainly seen more obfuscated code, but it is stunning. Well done jEssYcAt, wherever you may be.

Yea, I realize it is a very old post, but it still deserves the recognition.

*tsk*

That is obvious; that's how you know it is obfuscated.

I put it there while writing it in an attempt to make sure the compiler doesn't consider any of those calls extraneous, but have since changed it so that it is not necessary. I just forgot to get rid of it.

That sound you just heard was my post going over your head.

Relevant Comments???

Would anyone be interested in making this a competition? Collatz programs, that is. Or, if you would prefer it, number theory programs.

I want to see how many are interested, if 5+, I'll get a mod to move to contests section.
