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 :D

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

Gave me a chuckle.
