The explanation:

char input[] = "SSSWILTECH1\1\11W\1WALLMP1"

The character array input is initialized to the character string "SSS...MP1".

for( i=2; (c=input[2])!='\0';

c takes character values from input beginning at the third character.

switch('S')

The first time through the switch statement c='S'.

default: putchar('S');

The default case is taken since none of the cases match 'S'. S is printed/

continue

The continue statement forces the next iteration of the innermost enclosing loop; in this case, the for loop. Notice that the continue effectively is a branch to the reinitialization expression of the for.

for( ; c=input[3])!='\0'; i++) {

c gets the fourth character from input.

switch('W')

c='W'

default: putchar('W'); continue

As before, W is printed.

...

Similarly for i=4, c='I'.

switch('L') {

i=5, c='L'.

case 'L': continue

The 'L' case is taken, nothing is printed.

i=5, c='L'

Nothing is printed.

i=6, c='T'

T is printed.

i=7, c='E'

Nothing is printed.

i=8, c='C'

C is printed.

i=9, c='H'

H is printed.

switch('1') {

i=10, c='1'

case '1': break

The break statement forces an exit from the innermost enclosing loop or switch. In this case it effects a branch to the statement following the switch.

putchar(' ')

A space is printed.

for( ; (c=input[11])!='\0'; i++) {

Back to the top of the for loop.

switch('\1') {

The character constant '\n', where n is up to three octal digits, yields a character with the octal value n. For example, \0 yields the ASCII character null and \101 the character A.

case 1:

Case labels may be either character or integer constants. \1 matches since C automatically coerces char to int.

while( (c=input[++i])!='\1' && c!='\0' );

The exit condition for the while is either c=='\1' or end of string. Each time the while test is made, i is incremented by , thus the loop advances i through the characters of input until either the next '\1' character or the end of the string.

In the while loop:

i=12, c='\11';

Nothing is printed.

i=13, c='W';

Nothing is printed.

i=14, c='\1';

The while loop terminates.

case 9: putchar('S')

The statements from each case follow one another directly; there is no implied break between cases. Case 9 follows case 1. S is printed.

case 'E': case 'L': continue

Cases 'E' and 'L' follow case 9.

for( ; (c=input[15]); i++) {

Again, back to the top of the for loop.

In the for loop:

i=15, c='W';

W is printed.

i=16, c='A';

A is printed.

i=17, c='L';

Nothing is printed.

i=18, c='L';

Nothing is printed.

i=19, c='M';

M is printed.

i=20, c='P';

P is printed.

i=21, c='1';

A space is printed.

i=22, c='\0';

The for loop terminates.

putchar('\n')

If you think the switch about was hard to read, you may want to visit the web site for the The International Obfuscated C Code Contest. Here's a couple of examples of what you can find there...

This one-line program displays a 7-segment digital clock showing the time that the program was compiled.

Due Wednesday, Feb. 22.

Read Chapter 10 for class on Wednesday. E-mail me your questions no later than noon on Tuesday, Feb. 21.

You should expect a quiz on Wedneday.

Lab 2

For Wednesday, Feb 1 you need to read Chapter 5 and submit your questions via e-mail. Much of this chapter will be very familiar, but there are some C-specific twists you should know about. Your e-mail must have the following subject line:

your name, your class, chapter X questions

For example:
