I had understood in principle that printf is Turing complete, but I am still aghast at this interactive game of tic-tac-toe implemented with a single printf statement.
Computing the NOT of a single value is also easy:
printf("%1$255d%1$s%hhn", a, b)will compute
*b = (strlen(a)+255)%256 = strlen(a)-1and again, because strlen(x) is either 1 or 0 we have
*c = !bFrom here we can compute any binary circuit.
Previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously.
