    My most brilliant code, swapping two variables without having a 3rd temporary variable!

    Code:
    #define swap(a,b)      a ^= b ^= a ^= b

    Code:
    #include <vector>
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <istream>
    using namespace std;
    int main() {
    cout << "See how long it takes you to figure out why this won't work " << endl;
    return 0;
    }

    I don't think I have ever written brilliant code. I am at the point that whenever I have a lot of '*' in my code, and do a lot with filestreams, I think I am brilliant, but that is only the newbie part of me that remembers seeing the bigger more mature programmers using '*'s and filestreams.

    First I thought that, but when I compiled and run the program it was fine, using MSVC++!
    Maybe because it's a string, but if you want to put " you will havetouse \", maybe because there is a " before it!
    if you are trying to write cout << '\''; you should use \'
    If you know why please tell me.

    You can use both notations (with or without the \) for a single quote or question mark in a string.

    Most brilliant code? How about the worlds smallest program:
    Code:
    
    
    Unfortunately, it's not 100% portable.

    My best code is written with the delete key.
