C/C++ Puzzles: PART - 35


   C Program Tricked to Believe X equals X+2

  The puzzle has been discussed previously, but only one solution was provided. But now I have added a few more solutions to this puzzle. The challenge is to get a true value for the following conditional statement. 

x==x+2  

You are free to use any feature of the C preprocessor or Compiler. If you can't get a solution then check the programs shown below.

Solution 1

#define x 2|0
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    if(x == x+2)
    {
        printf("\n Hello");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("\n Hi");
    }
}


Solution 2

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    float x=1.0/0;
    if(x==x+2)
    {
        printf("\nHello");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("\nHi");
    }
}

Solution 3

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{

    float x = 1e100;
    if(x==x+2)
    {
        printf("\nHello");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("\nHi");
    }
}

Solution 4

#include<stdio.h>

struct {}*x=0;

int main()
{
    if(x==x+2)
    {
        printf("\nHello");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("\nHi");
    }
}

Solution 5

#include<stdio.h>

int (*x)[0x20000000];

int main()
{

    if(x==x+2)
    {

        printf("\nHello");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("\nHi");
    }
}

Solution 6

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
/////////////////////////////////////
// we initialize tr = 1            //

int tr = 1;
int x = 111;

////////////////////////////////////
// Can You change the value of tr??/
tr = (x == x + 2);

/////////////////////////////////////
// The value of tr is not changed  //
    if(tr==1)
    {
        printf("\nHello");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("\nHi");
    }
}


Power Method to Find the Largest Eigenvalue


   Power method is used to find the numerically largest eigenvalue. The method sometimes converge very slowly. In this post I am providing the C and C++ programs to implement power method.

Crout's Reduction Method for Solving System of Linear Equations.


   Crout's reduction method is used to solve system of linear equations. In this post I have included the C and C++ program implementing Crout's reduction method.
