Where and how did you get this program in the first place?

^ A friend of mine has given this program and asked me for output of it without compiling on compiler. I tried but couldnt sunderstand it properly.
Why don't you ask your friend to explain it to you? Why don't you compile and run it, perhaps using a debugger?
After all, if you are asking us, that means that you failed the challenge, so if you are really interested in unravelling this obfuscated program, then go all out. No need to keep to the "without compiling on compiler" rule, and certainly I expect you to format and rewrite the program to make it easier to understand.

Looks like something out of The International Obfuscated C Code Contest
It's basically like a crossword puzzle - all the fun is in figuring it out.
A completed puzzle is just "meh, so what".
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
My impatience made me to post this thread :/. Sorry to bother you guys.
I'll definitely gonna reveal it. I may learn new things while revealing it.
