I was playing around and thought, what the heck - I'll try somthing silly. Here's what I did:

Here's the game. Guess if this code will actually work (not crash) before trying to run it. Once you've made your guess - go for the bonus round; What will the output be? Be honest, post your guesses before running the code.

Well after examining the code...I believe that:
1. Yes, it will work.
2. It will output:



*goes to run it

[EDIT]well, my screen cut off the output so i edited it to:

which i think should give the same thing....
...and...
darn am i good or what!

well its confusing, but if you follow closely how it loops around you will notice that:

"test.x.y.x.y.z" and "test.x.y.z" are in fact the same attribute of test.

So it first sets this attribute to 1, then it sets it to 2, then it is printing out this "same attribute" twice.

If you can understand that

NOW I see it. The simple answer is:

Well, in both cases, it sets the variable Z, so it sets Z at the end to 2, so it must be:



But, obviously, there's more logic than that involved (as Apolloed explained)

It seems to me the whole thing is just plain wrong.

First, this code must be driving a pointer somewhere crazy, but it's managing to stay out of the pc insane asylumn.

Next, it seems the combination of .udt's is more important than the sequence or the quantity. Check this modified code.



Now, knowing kind-of how this works - guess this one. Will it work? What's the output?

wow that one is a little more complicated. Don't have the time to figure it out....but because you rigged it all up i will say it prints out differently than the last one.

It is different. "test" isn't being connected with text2 yet, so it can't work by giving it a test 2 type.

testing:

So it seems the sequence has to be in order of Type and end with the correct .udt, but after that - all restrictions on order and quantity are off?

Now to really push this odd code:

My guess was that this wouldn't work because the .udt variables are reused. What's your guess? Outputs? Hold back on posting answers for bit. Have fun!
